Half-Life 2: Garry's Mod

[Daeval]

I found mention of this little Half-Life 2 mod on fileplanet earlier, and have wasted at LEAST 2 hours on it since. It's great stuff.

 

Basically, it provides a bunch of modified weapons that aren't really weapons, but various ways to screw with the physics. You can:

 

- Use the manipulator gun that was available in the leaked alpha/E3 demos

- Spawn a bunch of different props with the Q key, including ragdolls

- Attach things with two different types of "rope" or just "weld" them solidly together

- Attach working wheels to just about anything, then control them with a throttle

- Attach manhacks to things and make them pull whatever it is around.

- Attach balloons to things to make them float

etc...

 

It sounds pointless, and it is, but it's a helluva lot of fun to screw around with. I'm pretty sure you can use the cheats to summon working AI too, for double the fun.

I've been using this for a while, very fun indeed. I'm waiting for V6 which comes with a facial expression modeler.

I've seen this mod so many times i'm sick of it. it's all over /v/

It's still sounds like a fun mod, I think I'll try it.

[NeoMaster]

I wish I had a computer powerful enough to try it.

Saw this on one of those G4 game shows. Looked pretty fun. They showed people reenacting famous images with it, like the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima, and Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald

Unless they outsource an expansion pack like the crap-tastic opposing force.

Opposing Force craptastic? I beg to differ. It's one of the only good expansion packs made. But Gabe Newell has said they are working on new episodic content and some special hardcore maps for ATI people.
