Zeno Clash Characters Now Ready For Wacky Garry's Mod Situations

Michael McWhertor — Mon, 11 May 2009 17:20:00 MDT

The charitable developers at ACE Team have released the first batch of downloadable content for their first-person brawler Zeno Clash. Sorry, these aren't new levels or knuckle skins, but new models for Garry's Mod.

That means the bizarre cast of characters from Zeno Clash is yours for the goofy manipulating in Garry's Mod, meaning even crazier machinima and screen caps await us. The Zeno Clash model pack includes 70 character, creature and weapon models from the independently developed game.

ACE Team says the downloadable content pack represents the first free DLC offering, hopefully implying they're following the Valve model to keep interest in the game beyond the first month. And hopefully, the inclusion of Zeno Clash meshes in future episode of Half-Life: Full Life Consequences!!

Team Fortress 2: The RPG

You may have seen this going around your forum of choice lately, but just in case you haven't, here, take a look at this guy's idea for a Team Fortress 2 role-playing game.

While we'd love to write it off as absurd, maybe even crazy, the fact is there are some good ideas to be found in here amidst the over-use of on-screen displays. Indeed, we'd love to see some enthusiastic group of kids take this idea and just run with it.

You can thank goldenhearted, Photoshop and Garry's Mod for the whole thing.

Garry's Mod Makes Garry Rich

Were it not for Garry's mod, Half-Life 2 would be a serious place. Lucky, then, it's not, and for years now Garry's mod has been allowing entry-level machinima to bring a smile to our faces.

Turns out it's not just good for laughs. It's also good for cash money. Since releasing the commercial edition of his editing suite, creator Garry Newman has seen 312,541 (and counting) copies fly off Steam's shelf. At $9.99 a pop, that's $3.12 million worth of Garry's mod. Course, he doesn't pocket all of that, but we're sure he pockets enough to look at himself in the mirror every day and smile smugly.

The best thing about Garry's Mod is that you can do almost anything, like gory copyright infringement without the legal penaly. Plus it allows you to fulfill your long-running fantasy of finally shutting up that loudmouth sonofabitch Luigi with a Steyr TMP. Alice finds all the good stuff on the internet. Michael McWhertor

The Ballad Of Black Mesa

Part iPod advertising aesthetics, part Stomp, part Garry's Mod showcase, this clip from Mighty Crane Films is a gun-popping, Strider-killing tour de force that everyone and their mother just sent in. Must see YouTube fodder. Thanks to our tipsters (and their moms) for the flood of goodness. Michael McWhertor

Respect to the Man in the Ice Cream Van: Garry's Mod Music Video

egauger — Tue, 12 Sep 2006 16:20:31 MDT

This started out creepy. I wasn't really with it until about 1:13, when I totally lost my shit and didn't stop laughing until long after the video was over.

Special thanks to Aeropause for this one. In terms of sheer comedy karats, this is one of the best Garry's Mod music videos I've seen. Eliza Gauger

The G-Man Can Dance! And Sing!

Although I personally wouldn't want to bust in on them in a Men's Room stall at this year's Pax, GayGamer is one of my favorite blogs. They have a really good eye for finding interesting game related things. And in their latest post, they managed to scratch my perpetual itch for goofy dancing G-Man videos, accompanied by zany tunes. Yes, that is Tiny Tim! Florian Eckhardt

Domo-Kun Invades Half-Life 2

Isn't he adorable? TheGreenBunny created this Domo-Kun invasion using Garry's Mod, that famous sandpit editor for Half Life 2 (and soon to be available on Steam for ten bucks, but that's another story).

Garry's Mod Goes Commercial

kotaku.com — Fri, 14 Apr 2006 18:30:00 MDT

Valve is about ready to start selling its first offically recognized full third-party mod, and the recipient of this honor isn't technically a game at all. It's Garry's Mod, a tool best described as a massively powerful Half-Life 2 sandbox where you can make all your dreams come true, from posing figures for screenshots to making rebels and Combine fight. Garry's Mod has been free so far, but when it goes official it will cost ten smackers and/or big ones via Steam.

Explosion-Watch: Half-Life 2 Rube Goldberg Device: Reloaded

Michael McWhertor — Sat, 11 Feb 2006 06:47:02 MST

I can only assume the "Reloaded" title means this is a sequel to another Garry's Mod-built contraption, but thankfully this painstakingly crafted successor isn't Matrix-sequel bad. It really has everything a video should: merry-go-rounds igniting flaming barrels, humans used as projectiles, rocket propelled i-beams with attached (you guess it!) exploding barrels. It's like a symphony — but with crabheads getting all blowed up.

Thanks, Erik!
