This Would Never Happen at Black Mesa

I'm probably one of many who fell in love with the game Portal - it has an insane combination of crazy puzzles, wicked game design, and incredibly cute characters. There are a lot of great machinima pieces out there on the turrets, the companion cube, etc., but the one I included above is strangely reminiscent of the brilliant Red vs. Blue dialog.

Score another one for Garry's Mod and for the machinima creators, the Leet World! Sadly, I have yet to be able to load their site.

Valve updates Source SDK to support HL2:Ep2, TF2, Portal

Valve just announced an update to the Source SDK now supporting Half-Life2: Episode 2, Team Fortress 2 and Portal.

I look forward to the Machinima that will come from this update - with an eye towards Lit Fuse Films and once they get their hands on it. Ciao!

Update: Looks like the SDK is running a bit on the unstable side. I've tried testing out the TF2 models under FacePoser, which after one successful launch, will then crash consistently any time thereafter. There's a rumor that an update will be released tomorrow (11/8), but we'll have to stay tuned to the Source SDK Forums for any news from Mike Durand at Valve.
