Total Conversion HL2 Mod

Posted by Zonk on from the guildhall-approved dept.

bbzzdd writes "A comprehensive total conversion of the Half-Life 2 game has been released. Crafted by students from SMU's Guildhall, Eclipse is a beautiful change of pace from the average FPS. From the site: 'You play as a young Sorceress named Violet whose father went missing five years back. After learning the secrets of Telekinesis, you are teleported into Auld-Haven, a lush and fertile land where Violet grew up. Your objective is to return to Violet's home where she last saw her father years ago and dig up any clues to his whereabouts. In the broken down tower of her home you discover a journal left by her father. The journal unlocks a handful of secrets that ultimately leads you on a quest to find the ancient teleportation device - the Standing Stones.'"

    See we have this problem. It's called "THE BARTER SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK WELL." I'd like you to think about that. To combat this proble, we have enacted a system of 'currency.' Part of this system of 'currency' is 'money.' We exchange this 'money' for 'goods' and 'services.'

    And if you think a 'market economy' is a 'bad thing,' please, go live in 'Soviet Russia,' where such a thing did not exis- Oh, wait. 'Soviet Russia' ceased to exist because... Wow. Communism doesn't work.

    Ideas are not property. That's why you can make a first person shooter. However, an implementation of an idea is property. That's why you have to pay money for Software.

    If it's not worth the money, don't use it. Otherwise, quit your whining.

    Only on Slashdot, year after year, we get these asshats saying "but real communism hasn't been tried yet."

    Communists are like cockroaches, you gotta keep on exterminating them or they just come back.
