The NEOTOKYO° Website now offers the
release of the NEOTOKYO° modification for Half-Life 2 (yes, that little ° seems
intentional, and no, we don't know what it means). The page currently in
lockdown mode to deal with the influx of traffic, but they have a list of
several download mirrors to distribute the demand. Here's the mod's description
from
Mod DB: "NEOTOKYO° takes
place in and around a fictionalized Tokyo approximately 30 years in the future.
Mankind has begun to fuse with technology. Government and corporate corruption
have transformed Tokyo into a deadly dystopian nightmare. After a
near-successful military coup by ranking members of Jinrai, the National
Security Force (NSF) is formed - answering directly to the Prime Minister, it's [sic]
mission is to investigate and eliminate all threats to Japan, both abroad and at
home. The initial core of the NSF is made from an exodus from within the
intelligence branch of the military. With this betrayal begins the war in the
shadows between the NSF and Jinrai." Thanks Hump.

Well, Independence Day wasn't so bad for Hudson the wonder dog, as the fireworks
seemed somewhat subdued, which is the opposite of what I expected given the
Fourth of July falling on a Saturday (not to mention a month of rain preceding
the fourth to wash out advance explosive activities). Meanwhile, MrsBlue and I
enjoyed the celebrations virtually, as we tuned in some fireworks on TV, which
were pretty impressive in HD. Boom!
