Quantcast



In my ongoing quest to find a mod for Half-Life 2 that is simultaneously the dumbest and greatest thing ever (at least for today), I think I can finally give my life's work a rest.

Thanks to the boys at Giant Bomb, my journey has come to a close. They spotted this magnificent mod which replaces practically all of Half-Life 2's sound effects, excluding character voices and a few other minor effects, with the creator's own voice.

Thankfully, you don't have to actually install the thing to get the gist of the hilarity -- just click the header image to watch a video of the silly mod.

Reminds me of Mudkip Mod. It features Yackety Sax and Don't Taze Me Bro. And It's A Trap!

Haha, that's pretty funny.

Video could have been three minutes shorter though.

installed it. It's fun, completely negating whatever tension the game originally had. Being chased in the canals by a heli that goes "choppachoppachoppa" while in the background a guy mimicks a siren is... well, something.

HA. I agree, the dumbest and greatest thing i've seen today.
Version 2.0 should have him revoice all the characters!

nice video... its too bad I was forced to ether read the article watch the video OR read the comments. Its really annoying to see all your blatant site hit padding interfere with my reading comments while I watch the video or the video loads.

I can't imagine playing the entire game like that. I could hardly force myself to watch the whole video.

That would have been so much more enjoyable without the music in the background.

I like how he went through the trouble of replacing nearly every single sound effect, allowing them to come together at portions and almost sound half-real. Great job on a funny mod.

I've played an indie game that did a similar thing, and it was just as funny, but it wasn't nearly on this scale. I think it only had like, four sounds.

This would be infinitely better with TF2. Fact.

But this is awesome.

i Honestly think this should be redone with this guy making quotes when guns are reloaded. reload shot gun. "im here shoot guns and chew bubble gun and i am out of bubblegum" ie anything to do with serious sam or duke nukem.

That is probably the greatest thing that will happen to me today. I think I might install this for my first full playthrough of HL2.

@goddom

I dunno.. those seem far more annoying, imo. Not really sure what makes them "funnier".

Ooh, I do love me some stupid, inane bullshit. I think I might pick me up some of that.

That is fantastic. Really makes me wish I had a PC capable of running Half Life 2. The dumbest things are (Usually) the funniest.

3 thoughts:

1. This is pretty funny.

2. Timesplitters: Future Perfect included a similar feature through use of a unlockable cheat code.

3. This guy needs to make a new version of the mod, that lets you easily substitute your own voice for his. Admit it, as funny as it is to hear some rando making gun noises, it'd be even cooler to hear yourself going "pew pew pew! Foom! Chk-chk!" and so on.
