<div class="IPBDescription">A fictional news broadcast</div>(Note- this has nothing to do with release date speculation, just an idea i came up with for a bit of fun)
-We now interupt this program for late breaking news-
"Hello, this is News anchor Bret farleston. Four hours ago, rabid fans of the popular modification for the Half life engine >>insert long explanation of modifications for the 95% of the world population that doesnt play half-life<<
Natural-Selection have raided and captured the CNN broadcasting headquarters using nothing more that a "squeky" hammer that came with a play-mobile childrens toolkit and a large wooden stick. Yes, us news anchors ARE weak sissys. It seems with the recent release of this modification, these rapid fans are demanding faster mirrors, waiting 3 hours just doesnt do it for them. We've tried to contact mod leader Flayra for comment but it seems the fans have taken him hostage. We take you live to the CNN headquarters with field reporter Chris vartoy..."
---------------------------------------------------------
*pause*
"Thanks Bret. I'm out in front of the Headquarters with the local SWAT team who are currently trying to negostiate with the fans-"
SWAT negotiator: Now, come on guys, come out of there, we've got lots of candy....
Fan 1: really?! oh boy!
Fan 2: wait! dont go! its a trap! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
*gunshots*
*fan 1 is down, repeat fan 1 is down*
"As you can see, it seems these fans aren't very intelligent either, but they claim themselves not to be what they call 'newbies', calaiming they 'have 10 posts on the forums already'. The SWAT are now preparing for an Assualt. Wait.... Oh my god! a rabid fan has rushed out of the building wearng a paper matchet alien suit!"
alien-suited fan: RWAHAHA I AM A BOB I WILL EAT j00 ALL! I 0WN j00!
*pounces, tears out swat guys throat*
*gets shot by remaining swat team*
random fan: ouch, pwned
"Oh god... oh... It seems these fans are serious. Wait.... the fans are reading off their demands!"
fan: WE WANT COMPUTERS WITH ALL THE LTEST SPECS, A GETAWAY CAR, AND A LIFETIME SUPPLY OF CHEESE NIPS!
"It seems these fans are indeed crazed. The SWAT assault has just finished.... and here they come, with the fans now cuffed and subdued... Wait! a fan is at the top of the building, yelling somthing down!"
rabid fan: I AM THE MARINE COMMANDER! FOR TAKING MY TEAM IM GOING TO BUILD A SIEGE TURRET AND GET YOU ALL! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
*shot*
*fan falls to ground*
"It seems the situation here has been resolved. Back to you Bret...."
--------------------------------------------------------
The morale of this story? Flayra better have ALOT of mirrors for these crazed fans to get the Mod.... or else!
*ominous music*
*cough*

I'm sure the Dev Team have got plenty of mirrors lined up, including FilePlanet (/me flicks holy water on keyboard) no doubt.
