I might not post here that much, but that doesn't mean I'm not active in the Black Mesa community nor that I don't follow Ross Scott's work.

I am a regular poster to the Black Mesa forums and can definitively say that the following is true: The mod is being worked on and it is almost done. It is not dead. The developers are working hard on the mod every day. There have been no Twitter updates because they abandoned Twitter but the website front-page has not been updated to reflect this. The website will be updated when the mod is released. The mod will be out "when it's done". The developers want Black Mesa released as much as the fans want it released. If not more. Asking for updates/release dates/media won't work. For more information on the Black Mesa mod, please read the Wiki, the FAQ, and peruse the forums. Some ground rules on the forum: Please search the forums before posting questions. Most questions have already been answered many times and many people don't like re-answering the same questions over and over. And the forums are a bit of the "wild west" feeling and some aren't too mature so, please, before asking questions that have already been answered, please search. Thank you.

Some of my favorite quotes: Scientist: "Hello." Freeman: "Heeeeeeyyyyyyy....what a minute, I don't know you. Don't confuse me." Freeman: "Wait a minute. Did I see what I think I did? Yep, I sure did. Newton's formula for gravitational force. Having trouble remembering that one, guys? What is this, are we back in high school now? My department's working on quantum displacement. Just what the hell are you guys doing? Jerking around in lab coats from the looks of things! I just can't believe it. Those monkeys are having trouble learning about gravity. Whereas I can recite the quantum chromodynamic gauge invariant Lagrangian in my sleep! There is no justice... am I hearing things? TURN DOWN THE MUSIC, YOU FREAKING BASSHEADS! IT SOUNDS LIKE A STRIP CLUB IN HERE! GOD DAMN! JUST GET SOME DANCING GIRLS IN CAGES, WHY DON'T YA!?! GOOD LORD! Programmers! Who knows what they're up to!" Freeman: "Oh, oh god! What, what do I do? ... This is a bad experiment! We are BAD people! Why did we usher forth the Green Apocalypse?!" Scientist 1: "I'll stay here." Freeman: "You do that! God, you two are creeping me out. 'Come play with us, Gordon. Forever... and ever... and ever...'" Scientist 2: "Do you know who ate all the doughnuts?" Freeman: "The doughnu--? No! I've got more important things on my mind!" Freeman: "You know, I'm an expert on electricity, on the atomic level, anyway, and this, to me, looks like the power's on." Freeman: "This sounds like a job for Ambassador Pineapple." Freeman: "What the hell is that? It looks like a prison guard tower. I don't get it. This place makes no sense.
