As I flipped through this months issue of PC Gamer, I happened to spot a small article with words like "Half-Life" and "mods". Instantly, I sat up in my seat, and began to take in this small block of text. It gave details to the release of the upcoming versions of Half-Life, all packed with only the best modifcations created on his rusty yet powerful engine. As I continued to read, I spied a link for a mod PC Gamer called "Natural Selection". The name alone caught my interest, so I turned on the old tower and anxiously typed away in the address bar.

<a href="http://www.natural-selection.org" target="_blank">http://www.natural-selection.org</a>

The page opened, displaying a small rectangle sitting in the center of my screen, obviously loading some type of Flash Movie. As it loaded, I wondered... "What am I about to get into?". The very short flick played, and I was transported to a website that oozed with style.

After reading up on mod, and salivating heavily on my poor keyboard, I eagerly clicked the "Downloads" link, only to find a movie trailer that would just enhance my desire to play.

My question is: When will I be able to play this game? I simply MUST put it to the test.

    Welcome to the community TK. I get to be the first to welcome you. Your excitement in those fleeting moments is well understood by all of us. We were all there once. Please look around, get that brain of yours working, and start tossing out your ideas. Regretfully there isn't a set release date yet, but it will not be too much longer.  Oh, before I forget. FEAR THE BOB. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    Also this mod from what I under stand is going to be released only when the dev team feels its ready, I personaly think thats a breath of fresh air compared to 90% of the the stuff we get today. Even though I cant wait to play it I'm glad there taking there time <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->.

    I've been around. I've played many games and many HL mods, so you can fully expect feedback from me. ESPECIALLY when I actually have the chance to play this game. After a couple hours of screwing around with it, you will no doubt hear from me again.

    I can always think of something to add/change/enhance. It's a trait of mine that you will no doubt notice in the weeks to come.

    I wish the NS team good luck. This is a very tempting concept, and you can bet I will be around to tell you all I have to say about it when it becomes available.

    Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be trying to get a custom avatar and signature going for use on these forums.  <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    Glad to see you ThrillKill, and not just because you happen to have a tag of one of my favorite bands. Have fun checking everything out at <a href="http://www.natural-selection.org" target="_blank">NS.org</a> and <a href="http://www.readyroom.org" target="_blank">RR.org</a>. buckets of info - shoot, we just posted twice tonight at RR.
