Half-Life's Most Frustrating Mod: Other World
You probably haven't heard of this mod, so I'm here to share my pain and suffering with you all.
First video essay, please be nice. If you watched it all the way through, genuinely, thank you. I had a lot of fun making this, even though it forced me to replay Other World. I'm not sure if I'll make more videogame-related video essays in the future, but if people like this video I'll definitely consider it!
Some notes:
-You may notice my game says "Hazardous-Course" in the menus--the last HL mod I played was Hazardous Course 2, and I guess OW didn't replace
-It actually turns out Etalikor used map-editing software to find invisible platforms. i may be alone in my suffering after all
menu assets (it's much better mod, please play that)
-I've told Dennis about this video, and he gave express permission to share details from our exchange, in case you were wondering. obviously please don't try to contact him/harass him, he's a super nice dud e
