Dr. Strangeman or: How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Plant the Bomb
General Ripper of the Combine Overwatch issues an order to a bomber squadron to destroy friendly combine superweapon installations...but...what could be the reason? Was he really ordered by his superiors to do so? His group captain has reason to believe otherwise and it's a race to stop him before doomsday - something Ripper knows nothing about whereas a few people deep within the citadel do and will stop at nothing to let it happen. A Half Life 2/Garrys mod machinima.
Introducing the first ever feature-length black and white machinima comedy: a Half-Life 2 spinoff/parody of Stanley Kubrick's 1962 classic Dr. Strangelove or: how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb (with a few nods to 2001 a Space Odyssey and some notable movies from Mel Brooks, etc). In this comedy/satire, instead of having the U.S. and Soviet Russia in a HL2 machinima, we have instead the core (non-canon?) Half Life 2 setting as the basis for the story's background. (So, in other words, instead of the U.S. and Russia, we have the Combine and Rebels, with a number of twists)
39 minutes total. A great story to spinoff in the HL2 world with an all-star cast make this comedy an entertaining thrillride. Starring the usual Janus Syndicate crew (Xanatos, Uberdonut, etc.) with some other role appearances by Steinmann as the narrator (War of the Servers, Maitenence Man), TFG (CS Clan Wars, Militia 2), Wolfer and HKSniper (The Adventures of Garry), and more.
