Proof of Life
Added 2023-05-08 04:08:46 +0000 UTCHi! I'm still here, and I'm still workin' on the Half-Life/1998 Children of Doom video! And as proof here's ~27 minutes of the also-rans.
I'm still finishing up the Half-Life segment itself, as well as a handful of other games that came out in 1998. I'd reckon this is probably a third of what the ultimate runtime of the video will be. I've got about as much written about SiN as I did about Trespasser or Unreal. Thief will probably be a bit shorter just because I did a whole video on the original and I don't want to retread it too much. Starsiege Tribes is a weird one - I'm not sure what I can say about a multiplayer game whose audience has moved on and I can't re-experience the moment of. And then there's Half-Life, which will be pretty substantial onto itself. So yeah - lots of stuff coming! Just gotta keep working.

Thank you for introducing me to the John Hammond Memoir! I was glad to learn about all the games in this video, including trespasser, and that memoir was the cherry on top!
