[quote]COCHITI, NM -- Administrators and the military say a 6.5 magnitude earthquake and subsequent natural gas explosion are the causes for the emergency alert system broadcast heard by many yesterday.
USGS sources say a 6.5 magnitude earthquake did in fact epicentre 3 miles from the Black Mesa Research Facility. "The facility at Black Mesa is very far in the desert. They store their own natural gas for utilities throughout the complex" said Major Frank Abrams of the Marine Corps Air Station at Yuma, AZ.[/quote]

I don't know if this is the right place and whatnot, and this is most likely not related to HL3 but maybe to BMS? Viewing the HTML code on that site seems to give some interesting results.
Anyone knows what's happening?
it was actually the resonance cascade
I know that it would never happen, but if you read the article it could be interpreted as the project being cancelled. I just thought that was interesting while I read through it.
In case if anyone reading this couldn't tell, it's a fake news site. That's the only page that works. Any other page links to a static "PLEASE STAND BY" screen like a television, or "Excessive Server Load" for 'Local Desert Singles'.
Plus, one of the ads is for a crowbar.
And the Local Desert Single says "I like long walks on the beach and rocket launchers. Preferably at the same time."
And there's a 'study' link that says "Depression linked to reading internet comments, new study suggests".

It's Black Mesa. The site was originally found as a redirect from bmrf.us, which is [url=https://who.is/whois/bmrf.us]owned by the Black Mesa dev team[/url]
It's sad the first thing we realize is it isn't Valve related because I doubt they'll even touch Half Life for like another ten years.
Heh. Picture's url is "It's not our fault" in Base64
Edit: All of them are base64

-If you let us all die, Freeman, you'll never get out of here.
Will do the rest. Is there any active discussion on other forums which has already done anything?

I don't agree. I believe it's supposed to be written as what the media would make of the resonance cascade. I would interpret this as a teaser for something to come.
Holy fuck, damn it. For those of you who don't know this is related to the [url=http://forums.blackmesasource.com/index.php/Thread/13735-ARG-The-Pizza-Code-Mystery/?pageNo=126]pizza code mystery[/url]. It's an ARG surrounding Black Mesa about the mysterious misappropriation of funds for Pizza. I suggest you guys check it out.
Both related websites have an encoded script embedded in them.

Doing the images now
Maybe we'll get some news on the Xen project for BM:S? This feels like an arg or something...
Well apparently it was all done over on the Black Mesa forums. Never mind

Yeah the [url=http://forums.blackmesasource.com/index.php/Thread/13735-ARG-The-Pizza-Code-Mystery/?postID=599030#post599030]Black Mesa forums.[/url] It's probably better if you paste this stuff there.

We realized it wasn't Valve related because the website is owned by the Black Mesa dev team, not because we don't think Valve is going to do any more HL.
[QUOTE=Telecaster;47182945]it was actually the resonance cascade[/QUOTE]
uh did you even read the article

Does anyone here have any knowledge about SSTV or stuff like that. Some people seem to think there's something hidden within the sound.

[QUOTE=usaokay;47183148]So is this some sort of ad for BMS on Steam?[/QUOTE]
No it's to do with the Pizza Code Mystery. It's an ARG.
I don't wanna nit-pick but the article could have been better written, and there's two huge loopholes: it doesn't explain the missing people or radioactive fallout. We aren't Russia, we can't just tell people to shut up when they ask where there relative went.
It would have been better if it said there was an earthquake, then military evacuation attempt, then aftershock that detonated the natural gas deposits and munitions depots, which destroyed the base, killed nearly everyone inside, and blew open the radioactive materials storage bunker. :v:
That closes all 3 loopholes: missing personnel, huge explosion, and radioactivity.

Regardless, I'm excited for Black Mesa on Steam!

I don't think the article takes place after the nuclear detonation, but rather prior, while the military is still in the area.
The tv thing is becoming more and more distorted.
please be the Xen release
By the way, 8chan is also helping with this and linking to here and have discovered a bunch of stuff in this short span of time as well.
There's more pictures on the tv thing, It's becoming more distorted.
[QUOTE=Xubs;47183206]And second, who cares, it's supposed to be written from the point of an unreliable narrator, ie a journalist that doesn't know what the fuck is going on nor does anyone else. Also it's just a single website for an ARG.[/QUOTE]
Good point, writing's not important in a story driven game.

I'm pretty sure this was before the nuking.
Looked at the site through the console. Spat out this in the console..
