User made videos when HL2 is released

[RTFMish]

When HL2 is released, maybe some of you creative peeps will make short little videos with something like FRAPS?
If so, what will you show? I'm interested in hearing your ideas. Many people mentioned the gas tanks, and shooting caps off to mobilize.. Some even mentioned standing only a few feet away from a zombie and blowing it's head off with the SPAS-12. Be original, tell me your ideas!

 

[tokin]

I think ill make a video of picking up an explosive barrel and launching it into a zombie...then ill also throw some razer blades at their feet to paralize them.

 

[SMT]

I'll bump into every table in Kleiner's lab, knocking everything over, and he'll say "Oh, do be careful!" every time.

 

[Death.Trap]

I'm going to build a tower out of wood as tall as the citadel. It will be supported by one board underneath it. I will blow the board, and observe the destruction! MWHAHAHHAHAAHAH


Oh, I think I'm going to put a bunch of aliens and other NPC's on the tope of it, maybe even inside..omg...I'm gonna go insane waiting for this game.

 

[MrWhite]

I like the wooden tower idea... the destruction would be so amazing... so immensly amazing that it would awe even the most un-eaten baby.

i doubt that would work, i bet the fps would be soooo slow and itd be terrible.

 

[MrWhite]

SILENCE CRETIN! DO NOT KNOCK THE IMMENSE POWER OF THE WOODEN RESISTANCE CITADEL

actually you're right... but god it would be fun to try

 

[Gorgon]

I am going to record a vid which teach gamers how to type their names or any other cool sigs with all type of weapons.

 

[Ames]

A giant war with as many people as possible...

 

[Polykarbon]

Just record hl2demo--and do whatever it is you are going to do. I have about 1000 ideas just on hand, that my friends and myself will be recording.

Instead of recording with fraps on the spot, which will cause high levels of lag, use "viewdemo" inside of the console[After you record a HL2 demo]. It will level off the FPS so that it will be a smooth recording process, which will result in perfect FPS and quality. This of course, if is Valve doesn't pump out something that automatically does all of this for you, which is what everyone is saying that they will do.

 

[Varsity]

I'll record the endgame and post it as 'really cool physics trick'. :naughty:

 

[Polykarbon]

Varisty, the most hated HL2 player in the world--

 

[tunk]

I've always wanted to know if an NPC limb can get stuck in another NPC.

 

[commando]

wow have loads of ideas

one me throwing things at the strider to annoy it.

throwing things at friendly people.

*do u think u can kill the scientists again* not that i did on half life of course hehehe

another make some objects above an enermy.. then shoot it and SQUASH

loads.

make a room with a scientist (or person) and a hell of alot of head crabs

 

[Tarkus]

I think ill make a video of picking up an explosive barrel and launching it into a zombie...then ill also throw some razer blades at their feet to paralize them.

that won't work. last time i saw this, the zombies only cut themselves in the waist, nothing beyond that. i think this was even confirmed eons ago. in the good ol' hl2 euforia times

 

[Death.Trap]

i doubt that would work, i bet the fps would be soooo slow and itd be terrible.

Well in that case I would place a strider ontop of the citadel, then knock it off. I would jump down after it and film all the way to our doom. OMGOMGOMG

I WONDER IF IT WOULD SHOOT AT ME WHILE WE WERE FALLING OMG THAT WOULD OWN OMG I WANT HL2


Anyways....

 

[RoguePsi]

Hmm. I think I see the building of a massive stunt setup, taking plenty of time to position everything before letting the chaos begin.

Don't ask me what it is yet tho. I dunno!

I know. A big wooden tow...oh...someone came up with that one.

Fnark! I want HL2! :bounce:

 

[Death.Trap]

that won't work. last time i saw this, the zombies only cut themselves in the waist, nothing beyond that. i think this was even confirmed eons ago. in the good ol' hl2 euforia times

Wrong. PCGAMER said something about throwing sawblades at the zombies and cutting off their heads. mwhahahaa so yeah, multiple-body-part-losing.

 

[Soundwave]

Yeah they said that but I'll believe it when I see it. It might be like that for decapitations only, no arm and leg losing. We'll see I guess.

 

[Wilco]

For A simple 1 im going to attach a camera to the bottom of a barrel, place the barrel at the top of the level and my spawn point directly below it, then load up and "Roll Camera!"

(I'll have to choose a nice outdoor level like the square, so you have something to watch as it comes down, and obviously look up.

 

[Anthraxxx]

hmmm... i think i'll....

1. pick up a rod or a pole with the manipulator
2. continually ram Alyx with my rod or pole
3. repeat till she
a) dies
b) gets pissed at me and calls DOG to kick my ass.

If none of that works, then I'll try and weld various objects to the scientists' foreheads.

 

[Synthaxx R-or]

Adjust the physics until i can make a burnout with the buggy

Then i'll make a couple of easily destroyable huts, filled with gibbable (?) stuff, and drive through that with smokin' tyres.
It's gonna be great

 

[Cunni]

If I were to make a video, it would be of me trying every thing in the book to get into Alyx's pants!

 

[RTFMish]

LOL, That reminds me of Revenge Of The Nerds..

Nerd : I met a wonderful girl today!
Booger : Did you get into her pants?
Nerd : No, shes not that kind of girl Booger.
Booger : Why? Does she have a penis?

It's not word-for-word but I came close

 

[Jarman]

When HL2 is released, maybe some of you creative peeps will make short little videos with something like FRAPS?
If so, what will you show?

I'll show you:
1. How to sell second-hand radiators. I'll tell the citizens they are excellent weapons (and since they don't look too smart, it won't be difficult).
2. How to make friends with combine soldiers and go on a trip to the nearest beach.
3. How to seduce Alyx.
4. How to teach dr. Kleiner to copy and paste (this will be hardly possible, but I'm gonna try).
5. How to climb a strider in 30 seconds.
6. How to tell Barney not to follow you everywhere you go, explaining him that there's no reason for feeling lonely.
7. How to get drunk and have fun with zombies (well, actually they walk as if they are already drunk - too bad).
8. How to become a successful bullsquid breeder.
9. How to tune your buggy, upgrade the engine and prepare for underground races.

And finally...

10. How to tell the G-Man, as tactfully as possible, that he's so pale you had mistaken him for the local gravedigger.

 

[staddydaddy]

I just thought of something, select the manipulator, pick up a barrel, shoot it up into the air, and see how many times you can shoot it while in the air.

 

[Dalamari]

I will make a vid of me launching stuff at people, maybe do some wrestling, launching chairs at em.

 

[Synthaxx R-or]

I just thought of something, select the manipulator, pick up a barrel, shoot it up into the air, and see how many times you can shoot it while in the air.

Yup, extend that and you have manipulator volley.

Good idea for a mod, now for the SDK :bounce:

 

[phantomdesign]

Well, I had the best Vice City video....

...you'll just have to wait for my HL2 one.

 

[CyberSh33p]

what about the new pcgamer, where the playtester claims decapitation when launching the appropriate items?
