'Half-Life 2' Mod Replaces All Sound Effects With Dude's Voice

by Caleb Johnson on September 22, 2009 at 08:31 AM


Remember when you were a kid, and you'd use your mouth to make sound effects for toy guns and cars? Well, one intrepid gamer has taken that idea to the next level. He has replaced all the sound effects in 'Half-Life 2' with soundbites of his own voice, creating a totally useless yet highly entertaining mod (see video above).

It's really well done, too. For example, fire a weapon, and you hear the initial firing sound (sometimes spot on and sometimes laughable), and then, the sound of the ammunition hitting the target. You'd swear the guy from the 'Police Academy' movies was behind this. Of course, modders aren't new arrivals to the 'Half-Life' universe. They've created mods that reward gamers for 'raising' the disgusting headcrabs, and others that mimic a survival-horror game. These devoted gamers (who must have too much time on their hands) keep the gameplay fresh for fans, and provide vicarious entertainment for the rest of us. [From: Geekologie]
