More physics fun with Half-Life 2

[Circuit]

Some of you guys may have seen this before, but I thoguht I'd post it for those who haven't who want to waste a lot of time welding things together and making airplanes out of pallets and tin siding. Garry's Mod (http://www.garry.tv/garrysmod/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) gives you every object in both Half Life 2 and CS:S, including every player model and NPC, and tons of tools to manipulate them in every way conceivable. You can even pose the ragdolls and change their facial expressions with several parameters, which could be used to make many amusing and/or disturbing situations indeed. Then, if you don't like your creation, you can always set it on fire or explode it or even attach a thruster to it and blast it into space. :D

This thing's just a blast. The amount of options you have to play with stuff is insane. There was one physics mod that I think Sam posted a while back, but this goes way beyond that as far as what you can do. Kudos to Gary for being such a loser and making this incredibly fun mod. :)

That looks like that first robot boss in CoH - Thresher maybe?

Tai hasn't played HL2?? :eek:

I have - I was just making a comparison. :)

OK. Just making sure because I'd have to call you crazy and such if you hadn't. :)

When I was bored at work one day and had my laptop, I painstakingly created an amusement park, complete with carousel, rollercoaster andbumper boats.

Garry's Mod is great. I really need to install HL2 on my new desktop.

Also, I forgot to mention that this has multiplayer, which could be good for a laugh or two. :)
