It may be an old game but it's pretty fun. It's free and easy to get too. Go into your dropdown menu of library to tools. In your tools menu, install the Source SDK 2006 Base. Anyone with steam can install this for free and it's used to runt he game. Next, go here: http://www.hidden-source.com/downloads.htm and download a client installer and install it. Next, restart steam and "The Hidden" will be available to play as one of the games. I played it earlier with a couple of guys from /tg/ and one of them set up a server.In the early 1950s human genetics experimentation was taking its first, tentative steps. Amongst many other black projects, a team of British scientists working at an Infinitum Research experimental station stumbled across some remarkable phenomena involving DNA manipulation. This led to deeper research with dangerously unpredictable results, often leading to human patients losing their lives in irresponsible and immoral experiments.
Time passed on, and by the mid 1990s the failure rate of the experiments had been reduced from 75% to a mere 15%, enough for Infinitum to move onto the next stage: Biological Light Refraction. The British team were hoping to unravel the possibilities of light manipulation to create the perfect covert military agent. Early into the new millennium, due to a gross miscalculation, a series of tests on Subject 617 led to a massive synaptic trauma leaving the patient with multiple genetic anomalies.
The subject was left in constant pain and with unstable DNA. The subject escaped captivity, killing anyone that got in its way. The I.R.I.S. (Infinitum Research Interception Squad) team have been deployed to return the subject to a maximum security Infinitum Research facility for further study and dissection. The entire project was considered a failure: all funding ceased and development was discontinued while all records and traces of the experiments were destroyed. Infinitum Research denies all knowledge of any form of human DNA manipulation but are more than happy to comment on the possibilities of cloning human organs inside suitable animal donors. It is believed that these organ cloning experiments form the main cover for their human genetic manipulation experimentations.
Subject 617, known as 'The Hidden', must turn the tables and become the hunter instead of the hunted as the I.R.I.S. team close their net around him.
A /tg/ server is set up for now by Shaps for anyone to use.

Were planning on playing again saturday at 1pm Central.
Come join us. The ideal amount of players is around 9ish. I think we can go over but it gets pretty chaotic. Hopefully we get a good amount.
We will use Sticky's team speak too which is: voice.france2.pingperfect.com:9992
