It introduced me to the half-life universe, which then got me interested in mapping, and now I do video games for a living

Funny we (in Italy) didn't hear of Uplink till waaay after game had been released. I think we got the game, then it reached like after we got the expansions(?). Never played it yet, I have downloaded some time recently but haven't tried to install it.

@Radu I don't know man, I don't follow the news, not even games anymore. I mean for games I'm now getting my info here and YT, I don't spend time reading like I used to, and do the rounds between the main sites. No time (I haven't opened my own pc in almost three weeks basically) and I got fed up of how most of the game press seemed to have gotten self entitled ages ago, I don't ever buy games because of reviews, I judge by the gameplay videos.

Maybe te guy from Valve News Network mentioned the departures but they have been irregular in posting videos, Valve time has no videos since 8 months! (I checked yday, since YT like FB decides what you should watch.)

Uplink was incredible.

Uplink is still my favourite half-life 1 part. Damn I played the demo so many times. I still can remember it as yesterday. My heart would beat crazy at some parts, the little kid I was .

Ok guys you are making me get off my ass. I will install it this afternoon and play tonight

didn't the bms team do a remake of this too?

Not to get off-topic, but wouldn't these departures be indicative of the company's shift towards being the premier publisher/marketplace in the PC sector more than anything? Valve does not exactly make their own games at this point. . .

I went and replayed Uplink earlier because of this.

Still awesome.

How did you install it? I tried using the exe from http://www.runthinkshootlive.com/posts/half-life-uplink/

but couldn't seem to get it to work, ended up playing some hldm instead

I still remember looking at this with my jaw at the ground while trying out the new Ati radeon 9800. Exciting times.

Now it just makes me sad that there's still no sequel to this awesome game. Fuck you Gabe, as if you couldn't hire a huge additional team with a 5 year dev cycle to bring closure to all the fans.

This thread is slowly killing me with every new post.

Spoiler

Jezus, I'm getting old AF.

lol

Then the videos of CS:S that started to come out too. I don't think 16 year old me could contain myself.

I had my friend send me this demo on a CD to watch because back then I had 56k I think I wore the CD out.
