Fluffy Tiger Plushie has posted the first few comics of “Ivan & Tex”. It’s a new webcomic based on Team Fortress 2, made with Garrys Mod. You’ve got Ivan (the heavy weapons guy) and Tex (the engineer), and their adventures.

From Team Fortress 2 Fort:

IVAN & TEX
The Fortress Team

Come in and enjoy watching the long-time buddies Ivan and Tex and their comrades Chad, Glenn, Kenny, Angus, Rudiger, Sheen and Gerrard from RED at their daily no-so-usual happenings. Including their everlasting rivalry with BLU, the neverending circle of tex mocking ivan and ivan hurting tex and of course the mishaps and stupidities of everyone… As god said: “Because it’s so much fun watchin. …lulz!”

How cool would it be if there was an alternate history version of half-life. Except instead of the combine spilling through and invading earth between half-life 1 and half-life 2 - it was the Team Fortress 2 guys…

So rather than having to fight masses boring combine soldiers in a dark dystopian future, you’d be fighting all these guys with  cool weapons and taunts from TF2. That would rock.

Breen would be pissed though…

Yeah, too much spare time and a copy of Garrys Mod, and this is what happens…

You’ve probably seen this by now, but there are some kick ass pictures made with Garry’s Mod over at NeoGAF forums. They are really funny. Go check them out now.

If you haven’t heard of Garrys Mod before, its basically a sandbox game (although its closer to a tool), for manipulating objects and scenes in source engine games. The new beta of it works with the orange box games.

The team stack picture in my last rant on team stackers was made by me using Garrys Mod. I’m still pretty n00b, but you can do some pretty cool stuff with it. Its surprisingly easy to learn, but getting the characters into the exact pose you want is a little fiddly.

Still, I’m quite happy with the way my first attempt turned out.
