Nov 1 2009 Please Stop Breaking Into My Car: "Try Again And I'll Go Gordon Freeman On Your Ass"

Some poor bastard, fed up with his car being broken into, decided to leave this passive aggressive note for the thieves. And not only does he reference Half-Life, THE DUDE KEEPS AN OCARINA IN HIS CAR. ZOMG, do you think he's Link?! Yeah, me neither.

Also, to guy's credit, I added the asterisk to his signature. DUDE MEANS BUSINESS.

Thanks to gabby, who would have booby trapped the car with Goron bombs.

Sep 18 2009 "Pew Pew, Bang Bang!" :Guy Replaces All Sounds In Half Life 2 With His Own Voice

This is a seven minute video of a guy screwing around in Half Life 2 after he replaces all the audio for the sound effects with his own voice versions. It's pretty awesome and I highly recommend checking it out, even if you just skip around for a few seconds. Which, haha, God you looked fruity.

Thanks to Aisha, who once pew pewed her way through Bioshock on hard. Nice, I had to play on medium and only with the lights on and never after 9pm.

Feb 17 2009 Escape From City 17: A Half Life Movie

This is part one in a series of shorts entitled Escape From City 17. They're all based on Half Life. You know, the game.

Originally envisioned as a project to test out numerous post production techniques, as well as a spec commercial, it ballooned into a multi-part series. Filmed guerilla style with no money, no time, no crew, no script, the first two episodes were made from beginning to end on a budget of $500.

Not freaking bad! And guys: if you're looking for someone to play the handsomely rugged hero in any future episodes, I'm your man. Seriously, I'm great at casting. Gentlemen -- to the couch!

Thanks to Mr M, who tells James Bond what to do.

May 19 2008 Now That's Crabby: Half Life 2 Head-Crab Hat

headcrab-1.jpg

This may be as old as the hills, I honestly have no idea. But if it is there's nobody to blame but yourself, for not sending me the tip earlier. So yeah, marinate on that little knowledge nugget for a minute. Anyway, a loyal reader did send the tip, and here they are -- Half Life 2 Head-Crab (aka head-humper) Hats. Made out of 100% head-crab, the $30 hats are guaranteed to turn you into a lifeless zombie (see picture, above). I just ordered one and whenever I wear it I'm going to drool a lot and pretend I'm a zombie. That's going to be funny isn't it? No, it's not. Say, did I ever tell you about the crabs I got from a toothless hooker in Baltimore? $80 for a whole bushel of jumbo Maryland blues. Freaking great deal.

Several more pictures of the hat after the jump.

Jan 21 2008 Weighted Companion Case Mod Looks Good

companion-cube-mod.jpg

Someone went and made a Companion Cube computer case from Portal. It looks good and is small (20cm). It's used as a web browsing and music computer, so there isn't anything too fancy on the inside. Unlike the doughnuts I had for breakfast, which were chock full of fanciness. And by fanciness I mean Bavarian cream.

A few more pictures and a link to the build through the portal.
