Good lord. If I had that much time on my hands... Someone get this person a job as a Hollywood art director.

If I had that much time on my hands... I myself would make one hellish rusted mess trying to replicate PilouX's brilliant case mods. But not before I bled all over the parts, spawned a mountain of cracked plastic and twisted metal, and endured several minor explosions of solvents and hot coffee grinds.

I love cool case mods. I'm not willing to do the work to own one, but they're like tricked out cars, they're cool to look at.

I might have missed it, but did it say anywhere how long these took him? I remember when he was making the original Black Mesa case and was very impressed then. This new one though...wow. I have to say, that looks great. I'm with dejah420; these kind of thing look great, but I don't think I'd ever be able to put that much work into one (not to mention I think that individual is far better at modding than I could ever be). Once again, wow.

what happens when HL2 is no longer the favorite game? does he do a new case mod everytime a new GR8e5T G4M3 EVARRR!!11!!! comes out? ~zj.

Some people need lives. Cool looking, but too game specific. What zombiejesus said basically (except don't put your initials after the post zj, no need to be cute).

I think it is great. The game was great as well. Don't quite see how you can belittle a project like this by saying "it'll date itself when hl2 isn't number one anymore".

I'm with dejah (and I am only vaguely aware of what HalfLife is). That's just cool looking, and couldn't be completed without some skill.

This is really no different from people who spend a lot of time tricking out their cars, or their homes, or whatever. This guy just wanted a HL2 case, and I say bravo for a hellacious job. Wish I knew how to do that.

Yeah, that motherfucker is just wasting his precious time. He should be using that time doing really constructive things, like snarking at others' hobbies in a community weblog, for example.

He posted this originally in February, so not only is it very game-specific, but at the time it was a game plagued with development delays and had the possibility of just being an overhyped disappointment. Still, nice work. But I bet that mouse is uncomfortable.
