Half-Screwed

Half-Screwed is a satirical first-person shooter modification for Half-Life. Initially developed in 2006, Half-Screwed was created as a tribute to gaming modern and retro, parodying internet and video game culture. The mod's main feature is the large amount of unbalanced weapons in the game.
History
Created by Dethklan Game's Buff Drinklots in his free time, the mod entered development in late 2006 and released it's first stable build in 2010. The final build, known as "Gold Final", was released on October 22nd, 2011.
Gameplay
Half-Screwed is consisted of various traditional and unique game modes: Deathmatch, Teamplay, "Shytplay", Heavy Rain mode and Test Mode. In "Shytplay", players are presented with what the developer has dubbed "Hyper realistic COD admin simulator" where if they kill another player, they are automatically kicked without warning. In Heavy Rain mode, players need to yell Jason to collect points and win. Players can use the included Golden Gun to defeat other players and collect their points. In Test mode, gameplay isn't focused on points or killing but rather spawning monsters, editing test console commands, and testing the various comical weapons and aspects of the game.
Weapons
Weapons featured in Half-Screwed are either featured in popular culture or are normal weapons with unusual properties. Unlike other games, players are free to choose what weapons they want to use. Some weapons need to be collected but most of the custom weapons in Half-Screwed are available at spawn. Weapons are sometimes gamebreaking (Super fast shotgun, bow that causes 999 damage, etc.) and otherwise useless (Boombox, Jason, etc.) in deathmatch gameplay.
Sequel
In an interview with Podcast17, Buff said he had plans for a possible Source sequel.
