Buffeted by high winds and crushing centrifugal forces, they sounded the alarm to abandon ship.

Harold Hoskins struggled with the controls, they could not right the aircraft. CraneвЂ™s ordeal began as a routine test flight, but at 25,000 feet one of the planeвЂ™s four engines malfunctioned and the aircraft suddenly began to spiral out of control. Leon Crane managed to save his own life by parachuting to earth, his narrow escape from death landed him in an equally perilous situation-for the next 84 days he was alone in the wilderness in the middle of an Alaska winter. The airplane was a B-24 Liberator, a popular heavy bomber for Allied and American forces during World War II, and it carried a crew of five. On Decema high-altitude flight over the Alaskan interior ended in a fiery crash atop a mountain overlooking the Charley River inside what is today Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve. IвЂ™d unwrap myself, fetch more wood, build up the fire, rewrap myself like a silkworm in a cocoon, and doze off again.' NPS/Josh Spice 'The cold woke me up almost every two hours. I have nothing else to say to you.Flags left to honor the fallen at B-24 crash site. Then, stop reading this and start playing it. Then, double click Half-Life 2: Deep Down.

THEN! Download the mod, and extract the DeepDown Folder into your Sourcemods folder (Program Files, Steam, Steamapps, SourceMods). Then go do something else for about twenty minutes while Steampipe Beta does whatever the hell it does to allow it to do whatever the hell it's doing. On the Beta tab, select 'Beta - Steampipe Beta.' Then select Close. Right-click Episode 2 on your Steam game list, and choose Properties.

Installation : You have to enable the Steampipe Beta to use the mod, and while I don't know what the hell the Steampipe Beta is, I know how to enable it like a boss. It'll make the pain of waiting for a new official Half-Life game a tiny bit easier to bear. Plus, you get to once again wonder why your gravity gun always works but your flashlight has the shittiest battery ever invented. So, this weekend, why not spend a couple hours with Alyx on a new adventure? You'll get to drive her around, listen to her talk, and feel all warm and fuzzy when she congratulates you on your accomplishments.

Even if this mod doesn't pass the visual inspection, the feel of being back in the Half-Life world is there due to the work the modder did to give Alyx some life. So long as Alyx is nearby, she'll comment on your progress, provide surprisingly appropriate hints for the puzzles you're facing, and give props to you for solving them. Little touches like that are present throughout the mod. 'You found a gun!' she exclaims, when I return from a solo excursion carrying a new Combine rifle. And you know what? I did do a good job! I'm a good science man! 'Good job!' she says brightly, after I solve a puzzle to get an elevator working. She doesn't gab at you by any means, but she does talk a lot more than I would have expected. Obviously, there's no brand new dialogue for Alyx, but the modder managed to collect some extremely appropriate bits of Alyx's speech clips from the original games and put them into the mod in a way that feels entirely natural. What does make Deep Down feel nice and Half-Lifey is hanging around with Alyx again.
