Holy shit, it did not.
BM changes a lot of fundamental things about Half-Life's game mechanics, including damage taken/dealt, ammo capacity for most of weapons, and downright removes many sections of later levels.

MS's F2P capture the flag-ish ARPG-ish super Japanese game Happy Wars is apparently headed to Steam and accepting beta applications. I mention this not to recommend the game (it's OK, but not really all that special) but in hopes that MS's other F2P 360 multiplayer games (Crash Course; Ascend) get ported to Steam as well.

It did a better job of bringing HL1 to Source.
It does look like Source HL1, but sadly it does not play like Source HL1.
BM is still missing the Xen levels, which though much maligned are indeed an essential part of HL1: its ending. Ergo, HL: Source is still the best Source implementation of HL1.

Anything other than og half life is a waste if time. The original holds up fine.

Getting summoned for the Chariot boss in DSII is hilarious sometimes. People are terrible.
is it a gimmick boss? I only tried it once, I was in the room, fighting skeletons, all of a sudden the chariot comes racing and 1 shots me, I had no idea what I could have done
Just a reminder that there are a few games still unclaimed in my giveaway:

Right then so just loaded up my save and was about to hop aboard the Jackdaw, wh.. What?
Yep there's just a big biblicalesque hole in the ocean.
So I though no bother I've got stuff to do on this island so ran off in the opposite direction to go have a look and see where my ship is from a higher vantage point when I started to hear cries for help. I turn back around to this.
Seams like my crew had magically spawned when I turned around but not the Jackdaw. Just as I took this there was lots of splashing sounds.
Yes that is a couple of them dead in the back there. Seams they were dropping out of the sky.
Yep! It was literally raining men. I ran to the nearest view point to see if I could spot where they were falling from but it was so high up i couldn't arc the camera round. By the time I got back to the shore they had all despawned.
Yup, it's been known to happen. This was mine.

I once saw Jackdaw fall out of the sky when I fast traveled, sucked that I didn't capture it.

Wait I'm going senile seems to be moved to late 2014....close enough I guess.
At least there's some hope for it to come out this year.

I really don't understand this glitch but it is really common. I remember once it glitched and the boat was visible but haad no collision whatsoever, so I could not climb it, and could only swim through it.
All the sailors fell through too lol.

I've seen the one where it's floating way above the game world and seen it crash out of the sky in Havana but never a massive hole in the ocean of rise up like a zombified ship before. Seeing a the water resets back to level when Kenway jumps in totally fucks with Archimedes' principle or he's the densest thing on the planet.
Ubisoft please never patch this game. The bugs are too hilarious.
I haven't played the original GoldSrc HL, but for me HL Source played just fine. I didn't like it much, but I found nothing wrong with the engine.
Took Aquanox 2: Revelations, thank you very much.
Thanks for the heads-up. The sign-up page says it's limited to North American residents, but the form itself doesn't ask for any location information beyond selecting either the US or Canada, so hopefully I get a key before any further details are required.
Thanks for Disciples III: Resurrection!

Man, I wish there was a way to check howlongtobeat on my entire library on one page. :\
haha wow

It definitely is one of the most hilarious glitches. With all Kenway's drinking I'm not surprised if its intentional and reflects his drunken state.

I thought that Pirates of the Caribbean game had been canceled long ago.
I know you're joking, but man I really wanted Armada of the Damned to come out, it looked like the team was actually taking the license seriously. Combat and polish wasn't all there yet but it could have been good.

Sounds like a job for JShackles.
I'm not sure I would want to know how long it would take to beat all my uncompleted games on Steam. The number would scare me, especially since I always take longer than the "average" How Long To Beat uses due to always wanting to explore and experiment with the game world.
Edit: Thanks for the game Lain, much appreciated.

Everytime I see something about Black Flag my heart breaks again. How can Ubisoft not fix their terrible client's save eating? HOW
I just played Glitchspace (which is on Early Access, but I got from one of those bundle pages where you could pay $1 for it), and it's entertaining. It's very short (took me about 50 minutes) and it doesn't do a very good job of explaining the mechanics (took me quite a bit to find out how to modify the objects' properties at first). I think this could become something really interesting if it gets expanded a little, because what is there is nice.

That's about how long it took for me too. Played a couple of hours and then abandoned the character and started fresh. Now I'm about 12 hours into the new game and loving every moment.
Well I don't know if the glitch monkey is shining on me today as Mass Effect has got so e weird behaviour I haven't seen before. Game runs fine with a single GPU but in SLI is goes a bit bonkers. Asides for some hideous texture flickering (which happens in a fair few games anyway) it actually has massive negative scaling in some areas. No better illustrated than at the Citadel Tower. With a single GPU enabled I get 120fps with plenty of power let to spare but add a second I get 8, yes 8fps. Like a bloody silent movie.

I want to see what the Division really looks like, we all know that it wouldn't look as good as the demo.

That's coming out in 2015, unfortunately. It's on the updates if you scroll down. Completely applicable considering it's "this year+" but just to clarify the actual release date.
