The COWPAD. (Warning to 56kers)
2005-02-18, 1:58 AM #1
Yeah... To make a long story short, Oberfeldwebel, myself, and two of our friends were playing Garrysmod... Anyways, the two girls we were playing with went off to do GIRLY things like build a GIRLY house on some stupid little GIRLY island. Of course, Ober and myself, being REAL MEN, could not stand for it. At first we retaliated by launching INVISIBLE MISSILES!!! and dropping INVISIBLE BOMBS!!! on the weaker members of the opposite sex, but it was not long before they started claiming that their creation was superior to ours. This was unnacceptable, as the creations of us REAL MEN far surpassed their girly constructions. However, never walking away from a challenge, we decided to show them once and for all who was superior. May the best MAN win.

Anyways, it took us a while to finish, and by the end the framerate was almost unbearable, so with the consent of our opponents we deleted their finished stuff (after they took some screenshots), so the shots I'm about to post don't have their stuff in it. Hopefully I can get their pics later and post them here, but trust me, our MANPAD is so much better than their little girly island.

This first pic shows our power generator. REAL MEN use hydroelectric generators to power their homes. We seem to have also discovered a source of perpetual green energy in the process. (AKA, for some reason that beam right there wouldn't go away.)

Here's another shot of the power generator, and the powerlines (they run all the way back to our MANPAD)
Moo.
2005-02-18, 2:01 AM #3
Here's some more of the powerlines

2005-02-18, 2:03 AM #4
More powerlines, along with the first shot of our MANLY front door

Here's the front entrance (closed)
Moo.
2005-02-18, 2:07 AM #6
Front entrance opened, and a random vending machine in the hallway (ober put it there for some reason). The door uses a slider constraint and keypad thrusters to open/close. (Also, from here on, the rest of it is lit entirely by the dynamic lamp object. the room and hallway are normally pitch black)
Moo.
2005-02-18, 2:09 AM #7
The second door, also controlled by sliders/thrusters, except this one goes upwards (originally it was going to go up and the other two open sideways, but it got a bit too buggy)
Moo.
2005-02-18, 2:13 AM #8
The view immediately after walking in the second door. Immediately ahead is the dining table, and in the back corner is the MAN'S KITCHEN. The back right corner would be my bed (next to the toilet. real men aren't very good at floorplans.), and infront of that would be the SUPER LAN MEGA BATTLE CENTER.
Moo.
2005-02-18, 2:19 AM #9
this would be the family room-ish section, with the TV, and our trophies from the MAN'S RAVENHOLM RAID. (For perspective, the shelf to the left is part of the SUPER LAN MEGA BATTLECENTER.) Also visible in this shot is the MAN'S SURROUND SYSTEM.
Moo.
2005-02-18, 2:23 AM #10
This would be ober's half of the manpad. Originally there was gonna be a cool stasis tube thing with a zombie in it, but, well, the zombie ran away, and we couldn't find a replacement.
Moo.
2005-02-18, 2:25 AM #11
This is a closeup of the other side of the entrance (inside, facing out), to show the fuseboxthinger. (The whole thing had a detailed cable system going from the generator to indoors)
Moo.
2005-02-18, 2:29 AM #12
Shot of the ceiling, showing off the lights and the power hub (originally we had cables going to the SUPER LAN MEGA BATTLECENTER, ober's desk, and the TV, but things started spazzing out and we had to redo all the cables, so the only one that's showing is the one going to my lan thingy)
Moo.
2005-02-18, 2:30 AM #13
Shot of the dining area

Shot of the kitchen

2005-02-18, 2:33 AM #15
Shot of my bed
Moo.
2005-02-18, 2:36 AM #16
Shot of the SUPER LAN MEGA BATTLECENTER. (That's right, *****es. FIVE MONITORS.) Again, this is something that was originally going to be better, but when setting up the toilet (after realizing that real men take big ****s), it shot out and hit the LANSHELF, causing all the cables and computerybits to spazz out. Thankfully we were able to minimize the damage by removing all the cables (mentioned earlier), but we also had to delete some of the computery bits. I rebuilt it, but it didn't really look as good as it did before.
Moo.
2005-02-18, 2:38 AM #17
Another shot
Moo.
2005-02-18, 2:40 AM #18
Behind Ober's desk (originally was going to be part of the SUPER LAN MEGA BATTLECENTER, but due to the aforementioned cable crisis we had to cut that idea)
Moo.
2005-02-18, 2:44 AM #19
And finally, Ober's bed area, along with what would appear to be an uninvited massassian celebrity making a cameo or some crap like that. REAL MEN DRINK TIDE.
Moo.
2005-02-18, 2:47 AM #20
So, there you have it. The whole thing took us a good number of hours to make (it is now 5:30 AM EST and I believe we started between 12:30 and 1:00 AM), and there were a lot of problems involved (most notably the toilet incident), but finally after all those hours of hard work, the puny women admitted defeat. Real men shall always be victorious.

Yea, no kidding. It's stuff like this that'll probably get it taken away. :(

Clearly, men are too "serious" to be cool. I mean, yeah, the lighting is good, but it's so...plain. So, after finishing our house, me and this other chick (who were the two chicks playing with CoW and Ober) decided to get a bit more stylish while keeping in the limits of cool. Because that's what women, who are designers from birth, do. You know?



This first picture is a brief overview of the beautiful landscape.

[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v676/blizzardess/HalfLife2/Overview.jpg]



At first me and the other chick were debating whether or not to make it "Hell" or "Hello" after a column fell on our first O. We decided to keep Hello.

Upclose image of Barney being all "Hey baby, Im sexy and modeling. Totally." and Alyx being all "Omg *swoon*" (Barney posed by me, Alyx posed by Kat)

Combine Ballerina. Done by me.

Umm...I dont know what this is. Posed by Kat, though.

I think this one is of a guy...ontop of a statue doing only God knows what.

[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v676/blizzardess/HalfLife2/Statue.jpg]



It's DOG. Posing. Yep.

Gangsta Alien

[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v676/blizzardess/HalfLife2/GangstaAlien.jpg]



This is pretty much the beginning of the house. Posed by me, this Combine is like "Howdy Ya'll!" with a touch of "Stayin' Alive"

[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v676/blizzardess/HalfLife2/HowdyYall.jpg]



Our "girlie" house (that's better than any "lancave" or "cowpod")

[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v676/blizzardess/HalfLife2/House2.jpg]



At first Barney was all "Hey baby." Then something happened to his face and he became all "WRAAAGH IM ANGRAY." So I just got a shot off to the side to hopefully get the whole "hey baby" feel it was supposed to get, but still hide the "WRAAAGH IM ANGRAY."

[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v676/blizzardess/HalfLife2/BarneyModel.jpg]



After Kat and I got bored we decided to ambush the front of the Cowpod by placing a lot of zombies hanging from ropes in the entrance way. They got pissed at us because it lagged them. Especially Ober.

Clearly, due to our beautiful femine designing we completely demolished our male counter parts in the builing of a better creation. I mean, who can resist Barney modelling as if he was part of some magazine? Really? That should turn you gay.

In final words: We win.

Ober Wins, clearly.

Except the whole "I suck and have no image hosts" does detract from him a bit...

Dude, that's just it, it'll never rain. Do you NOT SEE THE INVISIBLE DOME? And the bum is wearing a hat. So either way she's fine if somehow the dome were to collapse. But did you ever think of the CoW Pad CAVING IN!? I mean, suddenly, this giant bomb would drop on their place and everything would die. But our invisible (and indestructable) dome would survive.
2005-02-18, 7:07 PM #39
Your puny GIRLY island wasn't all that defendable against air strikes, though. And we had a bomb sitting there for like an hour and a half going off at random intervals that you guys never removed... I eventually started to feel bad so I got rid of it myself, but I mean, come on. :p

On a serious note, though, as for the image hosting; If it's a problem, I apologize... I had a bit of a deadline (got done posting at around 5:30-6:00 AM, and I needed to wake up at 8:00 AM to catch my flight to Texas, where I am now, using a borrowed laptop), and so I didn't have much of a chance to upload the pics anywhere but here. If it's a problem, though, I'll gladly edit them out when I get home on monday and upload them somewhere else, and if that's not soon enough I can figure something else out. But again, if it really is a problem, I do apologize, and if any of the mods/admins/whatever want me to fix it, I'll do so as soon as I'm able to
Moo.
2005-02-18, 7:10 PM #40
Our dome wasn't up at the moment. But now it is. And now you cannot touch our city of gold. The bomb also seemed to do no signifigant damage (unless it was the one that kept destroying the vanity and table). Besides, I used no clip to penetrate your base when you told us not to come in ;) You just never noticed, because I was all "STEALTH". Therefore, you are open to even -more- attack than us. And you were open to our zombie raid. So yeah, that must say something too.
