The oddest mods

Turns out not everybody online is right in the head

Gaming exists purely and explicitly for fun, but the majority of games are surprisingly serious. Invaders, oppressors, maniacs, evil spirits, terrorists... there are a lot of dark things out there.

So it’s no surprise that the majority of mods are pretty serious in intent as well. Some of them are stunning; a lot are the result of too much Buffy and The Matrix. Happily, however, among all the trenchcoat-posturing, there lies glittering the occasional hilarious freak.

Thankfully, the things our community creates are sometimes wildly entertaining on purpose, rather than the result of a serious irony deficiency. The mods below are all the results of deliberately silly intentions, a heartwarming lack of seriousness and a good dose of deranged inspiration.

Monkeys of Doom 3

monkeykombat.planetquake.gamespy.com

You may not remember them from Doom 3, but only because they weren’t there. Monkeys is more an exercise in cartoon style than a game, but modder Herr W (a) developed it from designs he can’t remember doing (“Most likely it was drawn in a pub”), and (b) has included “The nameless stranger, Bob.” Genius. His stylistic exercise has two rules, by the way: have as few lines as possible, and let them run parallel as often as possible.
