SMOD/WeGame
10 04 2008Just though I post a few lines about SMOD, probably my favourite Half-Life 2 mod. Basically it lets you play through the game with new weapons (like 30 more - no exaggeration), new enemies, and a few gameplay tweaks such as iron sights, bullet time and a melee attack. Download from here
Yes, that is a PSP. That launches explosive UMDs. That gives you some idea of the awesomeness of this mod. There’s not a whole lot to say about it really, obviously the story, game structure, etc is the same as HL2 standard, so SMOD’s really just for messing about with the weapons. Alternatively, it provides a great challenge if you do it properly because of the new enemies. Interesting side note: there’s a command line you can add (it might be default actually…) that makes gibs edible. And give you health. Considering that the gore is hugely increased (you can make ragdolls explode by kicking them), this makes for an interesting distraction.
I stumbled upon the site wegame.com the other day. It’s kind of like a youtube for gamers. The best part is that it comes with free video capture software to record and upload game videos without any extra stuff.
So yeah. I have combined these two things in the form if THIS VIDEO BY ME:
EDIT: Ah, no WeGame embedding allowed, eh WordPress? Not cool. Oh well, the page is here.
Not quite as enjoyable is it? As just having the video embedded. Hmmm. I’ll email them or something asking for WeGame support. They should really, WeGame is about to take off.
