Would you help me with Machinima?

[@Elz_und_Elz]

I like how this mod goes from a basic low effort joke mod and then just becomes higher effort out of nowhere.

[@AstroTom]

The TV finding mini game with that guy yelling about his TV deserves its own machinima.

Man seeing this mod again is oddly nostalgic, it's so simple because I was crusty at hammer

[@markmurgiya9354]

I like this mod. Have you perhaps made any other mods just like this one?

[@NoahGooder]

you did a really good job even tho I had trouble understanding what was going on sometimes.

[@seels_snusk]

@@markmurgiya9354 I've been working on a sequel to this mod since 2021, tho it's yet to be done. I have a playlist on my channel with vids showing clips from it and stuff. I did some gmod stuff, such as creating a map inspired by Iron Lung (Depths VII on workshop) and a map inspired by Signal Simulator (Signaler on workshop) - out of gmod stuff the goofiest one is probably signaler, where it takes itself seriously and sometimes doesn't, tho the version on the workshop is kinda barebones rn but I've been making an update it for it since March last year. That's about it

[@sixfootundertheseafloor]

i love this mod thank you

[@Simon_Dunkaccino]

this was brilliant

[@Skeletons_Riding_Ostriches]

0:31 3:42 10:37 12:31 and 19:02 are cutscenes that show that the Half Life 2 Beta was truly much darker than what we got in Half Life 2 20 years ago in 1894. If Gaberiel Newell kept the "Press this button if you're super epic" button it would have added more nuance to the game than the famous scene that is Laszlo dying

The fact that this mod clearly took a lot of love and care to make, but is clearly a joke mod is what makes it so truly beautiful.

[@hyperthetical]

this feels like one of those modern joke mods for half-life 2 but if the beta actually came out and now this is the stuff people make

[@aluno1000xawesome]

Wow... This half life 2 beta mod Is incredible! I cannot believe someone made something that can top beta minimalist....

Honestly as long as you can find goofy experiences like this I would watch anything you made. Should totally have a Hylics playthrough where every other move is decided by the next person and you’re constantly trying to have the other guy’s favorite character killed in combat

Can confirm
