Sure, I usually have internet, but that's not the point. What if I go on vacation and take my console with me and the place I'm staying at doesn't have free internet? I guess I can't play my games because I can't check-in? It's ridiculous.
Yes, Black Mesa is still happening. They're just not releasing anymore media until the mod is released. Check the forum, the dev team is still posting there.
