Dude replaces Half-Life 2 sound effects with own voice

by Justin McElroy { Sep 22nd 2009 at 12:30AM }

Behind the scenes at Joystiq, we have a lot of news we want to get to every day, and some stories just don't make the cut. We just want to take a moment to apologize to whatever story gets bumped so we can write about this particular item. If you're in anyway newsworthy at all it must come as quite a shock. But trust us, it's not you ... it's us.

So, after the break, you'll find a video of a guy who made a mod that replaces the sound effects of Half-Life 2 with ones he made with his own voice. It's completely unimportant and utterly magical.

I've been meaning to play through HL2 again. Hearing "Shew!" anytime I swing my crowbar may be just what I need.

Ubiqutous Oxymoron @ Sep 22nd 2009 9:53AM

CaramelZappa @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:35AM

I saw this the other day on digg. Reminds me of half life in 60 seconds.

CH3BURASHKA @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:50AM

Nicholas Cage as Gordon Freeman?

SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Sep 22nd 2009 1:03AM

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NO!

XBL: xGeneral DEATHx PSN: Deeth82 [Planeteer | Power of General Hostility and Angst] @ Sep 22nd 2009 9:26AM

That means the normally emotionless Freeman will be required to cry at least once during the film.

Platinum_Skeet @ Sep 22nd 2009 9:37AM

I think he's talking about this video...

Actually mine is Crying Beauty, but that one is sweet.

simblor @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:35AM

The replaced footstep sound is comedy gold.

drumwiz86 @ Sep 22nd 2009 2:05AM

I died laughing on that one

Ryguy226 @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:20PM

It's gold Jerry! Gold!

Lunastra78 (PSN: lunastra78) @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:41AM

Hehe, the best sound is the reloading of the revolver; "dudududumm" :D

WiredKnight: Keeper of Threads @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:42AM

I was hoping it would just be someone going bang bang bang but this is pretty funny too.

kojo87 @ Sep 22nd 2009 1:23AM

thats what i was hoping too. the pistol sound is still pretty good tho

Sly (Now with less shake, more bake!) @ Sep 22nd 2009 1:33AM

bang bang bang < pew pew pew

WiredKnight: Keeper of Threads @ Sep 22nd 2009 1:51AM

But pew pew pew is only appropriate for laser weapons. :P

Wardo @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:45AM

As awesome as this is(and don't get me wrong, it is freaking awesome!) I could see this getting annoying quite fast.

CaramelZappa @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:59AM

Imagine playing through the whole game and the episodes with this.

Shadsy @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:47AM

TimeSplitters did it! TimeSplitters did it!

chickenfriedsteak @ Sep 22nd 2009 7:30AM

Actually I remember Marathon (Bunjie's first FPS) doing it on the Mac about 13 odd years ago. the sounds were replaced by "Bill and Ted"sound clips. Hilarious!

BigD145 @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:47AM

Boring. You people have completely missed out on Nate Pack:

Audioout @ Sep 22nd 2009 1:03AM

Haha, I like that one even better.

Nobledevil @ Sep 22nd 2009 1:06AM

Yup, that was hella funnier.

Cash @ Sep 22nd 2009 2:13AM

I third that. These were a million times funnier then the one above.

Young_Nastyman @ Sep 22nd 2009 2:27AM

the only thing i like better from the nate pack is the shotgun sounds

ratm @ Sep 22nd 2009 10:28AM

oh wow, this Nate pack is so much better.

BigD145 @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:41PM

There appears to be an update:
http://www.filefront.com/14564805/Natepackv1.0updateDOWNLOADTHIS.zip/

It only changes one song. You're welcome.

Rhamsey @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:56AM

The crowbar sounded awesome, this is a great mod.

Arturo @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:56AM

lol that's awesome. reminds me very much of a friend of mine that did this back with counterstrike and put in bewww and zewww chapowwww noises of his own lol.

Nick Ritch @ Sep 22nd 2009 12:59AM

pew pew pew

randomguy327 @ Sep 22nd 2009 1:04AM

this made me cry. such a great MOD.
i havnt laughed this hard in a long time. so good

helava @ Sep 22nd 2009 1:05AM

My favorite of this type of thing was in Moto GP on the Xbox. Human motorcycle noises FTW. This is pretty hilarious in its own right, tho.

cylet @ Sep 22nd 2009 1:16AM

LOL thats great

MystileArmor @ Sep 22nd 2009 1:23AM

I bet you the guy is Dutch, some of the things he says like "Paf" when he shoots the pistol is a typical Dutch way of saying "bang!"

Einhanderkiller @ Sep 22nd 2009 1:36AM

I paffed your mom.

MystileArmor @ Sep 22nd 2009 1:46AM

..ok

Skaz @ Sep 22nd 2009 1:54AM

Johanu @ Sep 22nd 2009 4:51AM
