Myre! Shifteh! A hoi hoi!

Bert here, me and ANTIDEAD still hang out in the ruins of the old irc channel if you ever want to drop by (#operamod on GameSurge).

Remember the dev-cheats in The Opera? I recall there being a console command that let you shoot out an explosive blue fireball, which I of course bound to a key along with ‘wait; say “Hadoken!”‘ ~_~

Sean still talks about remaking The Opera when he inevitably rises to the top and gets to design his own game. We’ll sue the pants off him for stealing our ideas yes? :D

Hah, I’ve been quoted! Thank you Rock Paper Shotgun. I discovered this by accident after seeing a new article on the valve CTF match and going to wikipedia in hopes of adding a bit of notability (Some uptight guy a while back wanted to delete the article before we could even get any notoriety links in, so I would like to nip that in the bud). Surprise, i’m quoted on the wikipedia page and it linked back to this article.

If anyone wants to add me to their friends list, i’m palehorse864@hotmail.com

Valve viciously denied the other team their hard-earned win. It doesn’t matter if everyone was having a good time,
It doesn’t matter if everyone was having a good time
It doesn’t matter if everyone was having a good time
It doesn’t matter if everyone was having a good time
~~it was a morally poop fart shitpants jajajajaja~~

Christ, what are you on? Is the concept of “fun” alien to you?

<3 valve. I was lucky enough to be on the PCG server when robin hopped on too. Was funny to see his launcher then after he prompty fell off the map and we wer not far from losing we all had lovely ubers to finish it all.

I remember seeing a TF2 game between Valve and some great team and few times at the end they did some funny stuff, like unlimited über and some stuff. I think it’s all good fun.

@Myre, Shifteh
And one day, hyper-stylized FPSes will come back in fashion and our years of studying CYF will makes us gods of gaming. Or something.
Yeah, Aneur tol me about his work on a Vin Diesel game. It sounded rather uninteresting. Keep me up to date on your Indie work – I still remember how excellent Barfight and Hospital were.

I’m boycotting people who take this sort of thing too seriously.

“Oh, and I think Valve are awesome for this. They didn’t just ‘cheat,’ or mess with code, they made SUPER HEROES. Come on people, that’s some funny shit!”

I agree, again, and again.

But maybe the proper concept is SUPER VILLAINS!

Doh! :-)

I remember playing DoD A long time ago (The origonal not the source version) Some how the person running the server had hacked the game some how to where it allowed him to spawn as one of the female assasins from Half Life proper, along with giving him some super powers like flying about and being mostly unkillable (After getting shot with a Kar like 50 times it died but came right back lol) It was funny for a while but getting murdered over and over again by this thing got annoying very quickly. Luckily the person caught on that we weren’t having fun any more and stopped :P

Dan Lawrence = Myre?
Yeah, I became an Opera Fan after the game went rather quiet in HL, stuck with it for ages, eventually becoming one of the main testers in the HL attempt at R2. I still have Aneur and Infestasyde on MSN I think, as well as a few other testers on an AIM account I never use.

Yep, Myre is/was me. Aneur-never-could-spell-his-handle went on to work on that Vin Diesel game until Midway went bust. I’ve been at Codies for the past four years but am now about to move on to a terrifying new future of scraping out pennies as an indie dev. It gladens my heart to see old Opera folks hanging out on RPS :)
