Make sure to join the Discord :D discord.gg/luciashideout There's a ton of people criticizing in the comments, so please read this before commenting: Something I want to add to my stance on Crack-Life, especially given what many people are saying and claiming: I would love to engage with more comments, but I know it’s likely that many have already made up their minds; I’m down to discuss more nuanced points, though. If me saying that this mod is offensive made you mad, I legitimately don’t know what to tell you. Here’s a more in depth explanation, which I would have put in the video itself had I known the type of response I received: First of all, if you’re 17 or under (or perhaps even 18 or 19) your opinions on this mod WILL change as you get older. 16 year old me would be out here RIDING for this mod, but I have grown up and realized that is wrong, and I am embarrassed of myself. I’ll give you all the pass on defending the mod for now, but looking back on it you will (hopefully) find yourself agreeing with me. Yes, even if you think you’re mature and smart for your age, I hate to break it to you but no you're not. I thought I was smart as well, I was wrong. EVERYONE is dumb around this time, which is fine. I'm mentioning this because you might think that I'm 100% in the wrong and that what you believe can't possibly be argued against, when yes, it can. So please just hear me out. Okay so: Do I believe Crack-Life is causing harm? No, not directly. Nobody that fears being offended will be out here playing Crack-Life and screaming at it- that’s just not happening. If you laugh at an edgy joke and nobody that will be offended by it is around to hear it, that’s fine in theory, but also only in a vacuum. Unfortunately we live in a society (Jonkler?!?!) where everything you say and do has ripple effects. Obviously in most cases saying an edgy joke with your friend in private will not harm anyone. We can all agree on that. The problem is if you view said joke as completely unproblematic just because you were able to laugh at it. While I say that Crack-Life is not directly causing significant harm, I do believe that Crack-Life, and especially people giving it uncritical praise (many of you in the comments rn), are normalizing offensive humor that can truly end up affecting people. How, you may ask? Kids (or dumb adults). Say a kid plays Crack-Life, they see a scientist say a slur and laugh at it. They will then see people calling it “based,” and nobody tells them that it may be an offensive term to some. They then go and repeat said slur wherever and to whomever, and until their frontal lobe develops enough, they’ll keep using this humor until they eventually grow up and learn to do better. As I said earlier, I used to be edgy as hell too- I wish I could go back in time and change that, but I cannot. It’s important for me to warn you that you all WILL be embarrassed by your past self, but trust me, that’s normal lol Am I “virtue signaling”? No. I know this may come as a surprise to some of you, but I don’t actually like r*cism or h*mophobia or anything similar being perpetuated. Insane concept, I know. And yes, this also goes for “ironic” use of it as well, which is just… using it. Saying a slur and then claiming it’s “irony” does not change anything, especially in a mod that never claims it’s ironic and will most likely be played by kids. I’m also not scared of being “canceled.” There is literally no UA-camr that has ever been successfully canceled, and before you start to list off your favorite UA-camrs that were exposed as p*dos, no, doing something illegal does NOT count as being “canceled.” That’s called breaking the law. “It’s so sad that there are so many disclaimers.” Why do you care so much? Just ignore them. Also, and I hate to dissect my joke and I don’t know how you can miss this, but I exaggerated them on purpose- I literally remade the Star Wars intro using warnings like “Witchcraft” and even included the Navy Seals copypasta (kudos to those who saw it lmao) Did I repeat one too many times that “this mod is offensive?” Yeah, I did. But that doesn’t mean I don’t stand by that point. It’s just a script error. Also, while I already stated this in the video, I want to repeat it once more: Just because it doesn't offend you doesn't mean that it can't offend others. And that's fine. To perhaps give an example: If I printed out a picture of your grandparents and wrote "Assh*les" on it (and this is a tame example, replace with something more extreme in your mind if you feel like it), it wouldn't offend anyone but you. Someone saying "Boo hoo you're crying about it why are you offended I think it's funny" would at best be ignorant, and at worst something way worse, depending on what scenario you might imagine (r*cist, h*mophobic or similar). In any case, that person would be an assh*le. Being offended in certain situations is warranted and more than fine. And 2 people can very much experience the same thing differently, that's normal and fine. Regarding the AI voice thing I feel stupid even responding to it because I even clarified in the video that tons of people have different opinions, I simply shared mine. I even defended Crack-Life's use of it. Overall, my stance on it in most times is rather critical, but my opinion is not gospel. Feel free to share yours. Relax, people. Seriously, nobody is “outraged” by Crack-Life, nobody is coming to take it down. I’m literally just here talking about a piece of Half-Life modding history and comparing it to today. I’m simply pointing out that it is offensive, which is objectively true as the mod itself states it is. We should not normalize humor like this anymore, and should thus not blindly praise it, which is what many of you are doing currently. I unfortunately doubt that I’ll be able to change anyone’s mind, especially if you’re younger. You must come to that conclusion on your own. Changing people’s minds was not the intention of this video anyway- I literally just wanted to take a look at Crack-Life. If you’re an adult that is full-on outraged by this video and see absolutely no problem with Crack-Life, you’re embarrassing. Not even its devs would do that lmao
> We should not normalize humor like this anymore Just show me someone who would normalize it? Why you need put these stupid disclaimers everywhere? Fucking christ, people become too soft.
The plot of The Mod is that fordon greeman instead of causing the residents Cascade he causes a Nazi Apocalypse in the game ends by him going to Nazi Germany to kill Adolf Hitler
UA-cam and its ever stricter guidelines lol (I probably would’ve been fine without censoring it, I’m just making extra sure, as with most of what I censored)
Off topic here: The irony that this offensive games makes modern gamer felt offended feels like the early 2000's boomer hating on games like Mortal Combat, Manhunt, Saints Row.
I never understood how someone could get offended by crack-life. It's just toothless slop with early 2000s image board jokes where the humor was just in trying to piss people off any way you can. It's certainly no martyr of comedy or evil boogeyman of offenciveness. Crack-Life is just a 2012 time capsule that's fun to look at like a zoo exhibit
It's 2024 so half of this video had to be Lucia prefacing everything with "the humor in this game was and is still not okay" or risk getting cancelled.
@danieldimov8625 You do realize that he actually doesn't approve of this behaviour. Stop assuming that he is just trying to save his back for denouncing obviously bad things
Because disavowing past shibboleths is extremely important in the current year. Everything must be sterile otherwise someone somewhere will get sad, and we can' t be having that.
@@rc5249 When have I said anything to suggest otherwise? I'm merely pointing out that in the current year, he has to do this or risk losing his career. It's not a comment in regards to him, but how the internet has shifted throughout the years.
@@danieldimov8625I heard German laws are a pain in the ass when it comes to distribution of violent and offensive content (hence why media like Postal 2 are banned there). So he needs to be careful about the things shown in the video or else he will actually get arrested. I'm not sure I got all of that right. Somebody correct me if I didn't.
You have a genuine skill issue for the 2015 campaign. The skrillex boss for example is very easy to beat. You have to blow up his speakers and then you can defeat him. The later half of the game's enemies do have a lot of health but the dual double barrel shotgun takes care of them pretty easily. I forgot how I beat Shrek but he is reasonable to defeat. The only boss I had considered cheating on was the last boss but eventually I was able to beat him by just being patient and making sure to jump around enough. You should not use the rockets and grenades, the hand blaster that you get during that bossfight is the weapon you're supposed to use. You have enough ammo for that. Keep in mind I played this back in 2015/2016 so I was also much younger and not an fps veteran like I am now. tl;dr if you think this mod is hard, be glad you haven't had to play something like Doom's Plutonia map pack
@@1lucia Too be fair, you HAVE to unlock the deepest, most chaotic parts of your brain to even understand what is even going on when you first play Campaign mode - along with finding some of the hidden weapons
oh and btw if you look into skill.cfg of CLCampaign. You'll notice that the GargBot as the final boss had like 666666 HP so there's why it takes so long to beat it, but at least the Hand Blaster did a ton of damage (basically the non lethal ver of Bieber Boombox from Crack-Life 1.0) & you need to do alot of BHop to dodge & kill some of the enemies in the arena
One of the most amusing mods to play through, due simply to the fact that it's like playing through a stream of random thoughts, made with a decent degree of time and effort. It's an anomaly in its purest form: Illogical insanity made with relative talent.
That said, I don't condone the use of AI for any form of creative medium. It's never as good as the real thing, it's just thinly veiled theft, and it's incredibly lazy.
I keep being suprised by Gen X'rs knowing EVERYTHING about half life, yet not knowing how any of the Quake guns look like. Considering Half-Life was built on the quake engine lmao
The only problem with the video I have is that Lucia taken the mod a little bit too seriously. Which it shouldn't be taken as in the first place. The mod itself is like random gmod mods that meant to "give "fun"". The word "crack" already taking the whole explaination there. And those mods are indeed usually done regardless of credits for IP (intellectual property) or else. And I'm pretty much fine myself with it if it does not monetize the borrowed assets in any way. Will it be an AI or even a model. I don't think you should bother of morality there either. Especially if one never meant to (or do) hurt original creators in any particular way.
>Plays obviously offensive mod "Wow guys don't play this this is offensive and le wrong" x100 >Plays campaign mode of said offensive mod "Wow guys don't play this this is offensive and le wrong and also it is illegal to have fun in Germany" x200 >Plays updated version of said offensive mod "Wow guys don't play this this is offensive and le wrong and also the creator is le Hilter due to not crediting" x300 Was that all really needed? You could've just said "This mod is not here to be normal and will try it's best to offend you in any way it can, it's just a waste of time, really".
Literally no one is up in arms about it, people are just acknowledging that it's full of slurs and warning people in case they don't want to experience that. Y'all are so eager to invent someone to get mad at
I will play and personally enjoy this modification of the 1998 personal computer video game Half Life of which the design philosophy was to display as many obscenities as possible, purely for the personal satisfaction of securing a victory over those of left-leaning political ideology whom I quite dislike.
this is the magic of the Internet, no matter in the past or in the future And it seems that Crack Life has alleviated discrimination and prejudice to a certain exten(maybe?)
Im very sad that era of the internet is basically gone, and all the places it still exists are just needlessly unfunny. There was a charm to that old offensive humor, a lot of it didn't have too much substance (and uh oh you can't say that word waaahhhh waaaaaah) but you were truly free to say whatever. Since it wasn't limited to the fringes and the worst of people, there was way more room for creativity. Basically, In the Weekend SFMs and old Official Duck Studios.
4:14 It's a reference to the HoH SiS UA-cam Poop series by cs188. It was multiple videos remixing an ad for a foundation repair company in America. The originals were taken down due to privacy complaints from the people in the ads but reuploads exist on UA-cam and else where. Just classic late 2000's-early 2010s Internet humour.
Kinda crazy how The Scientist SlauterHouse,The one played by legendary kitty0706 is tame (but can also be just as much as insane and stupid) and actually not that offensive comparing to this. If you ask me,If any one wants to play a stupid ytp haha funny memey half life mod without being too offensive and can be funny sometimes,I'd recommend that instead. I mean,it is The Funniest Half-Life Mod after all....ahh,RIP kitty0706
*crack life is not actually offensive. But rather wild and crazy early 2010s humor incorporated in an iconic 90s game. Also in the mod you have to kill the nazis. So it's not really that offensive at all*
I genuinely love this half life mod on how it shows the age of internet culture, can't wait for peoeple in the future to play games and mods made by nowadays internet and they cringe a lot by how it was back then
I'm honestly sad that the disclaimer has to be that long. Humanity going into a wrong direction. I mean i can be offended too, but i can move on with my life like almost every time. Like an adult?
The Campaign Mode is actually beatable, I managed to do it, but it takes a hella lot of quick saves to do so, especially on the final boss. Skrillex boss fight is pretty easy, you just have to shoot down the machines that are above him and then shoot him. The UFO boss is also easy, just camp in the corner that is closest to the door you're supposed to progress through and shoot it with the crossbow, if you get there before the alien grunts spawn, they won't notice you. Shrek is also easy, just spam the double barrel shotguns to kill him and don't stop moving. As for the final boss, I just used all of the gluon gun ammo and then spammed the rocket launcher on him since it is bugged and you can still fire rockets from it even when you are out of ammo.
its just really boring to hear some internet boom boom trying so hard to be inclusive and respective about something that's meant to be offensive and pissing off people
The mod is a standard mode for Sven co-op for a reason. Man I miss those times where we didn't need 1 minute trigger warning. We are not bitch made man
I mean, not playing doom or quake is nuts but half-life is a totally different kind of game. Not playing halo while having played half-life is pretty confusing though.
"But you have to keep in mind that just the sheer existance of a mod like "Cr*ck-Life", and specially the uncritical praise some might give it before thinking about it too much, is hurtful to tons of people." Are you actually pulling up a "These pixels on a screen are literally killing people!!!!!1!"? My God.
I have enjoyed watching this review, great video! As for the comments, please remember that, in most cases, people have already made up their minds on the internet, and arguing about anything ends up being a sport instead of a discussion. Have a wonderful day.
Hey, thanks for watching! Hope you can take some of the feedback for whatever you end up releasing in the future! As for the comments thing, you are totally right. I think I have said everything I wanted to add in the pinned comment and will be leaving it at that. Have a wonderful day as well! :)
I have to admit this isn't one of your best videos personally I think that while it did make good points about most of Crack-Life as it's humor has aged and some aspects of it are not as funny the video did drag with the "don't condone" messages to the extreme and at the very least should've been brought up around certain sections of the video. That doesn't mean I'm saying the mod is that good, I've seen better joke mods that utilized jokes way better and I certainly think the mod has a major issue with relying on so much offensive humor where it's just random = funny [Which can be funny only in some sections] and the jokes could certainly be in better taste [of course the modder isn't a professional comedian but he did show a good bit of comedic talent in at least some sections of it] That being said one qualm I have is the part talking about AI voices, now I want to preface by saying I don't condone voice actors being outright replaced by AI or anything likewise but the thing is that the modern speech synthesis AI is fairly recent and while I know tons of people don't like it other's might not agree. Does that mean I'm saying it should be used commercially? No, absolutely not but I think that Crack-Life using it isn't such a moral dilemma as it's rather up to opinion and if the lines were even funny at all. And it's very clear to me that the guy was using it in good fun rather than bad as he wasn't selling Crack-Life out to the highest bidder or getting payed from it [Honestly I'd be surprised if he even gets paid from Crack-Life] since it's a community sort of mod and isn't made in mind with the morally devious financial banking in mind. You can disagree with my opinion on the AI aspect and I'm cool with that either way. Only other issue I did have is that you also said in one reply to a comment is that this would drive kids into some extremist pipeline [Which in most cases isn't the case unless the person is question is not doing well mentally] since most cases I've seen of people liking this type of humor usually learn to grow out of it and not endorse it or care for it after so it's usually not someone is going to become a horrible person afterwards. Sure it could be a case for some but it's most likely a minority of people who are or will be, but either way that's also my take on that aspect. This video for the most part did have many good points and while we can agree to disagree on some topics this shouldn't lead to any harassment of me, Lucia or anyone else as it's not warranted for our own opinions so just be respectful. Anyways, I do hope to see more from you Lucia and I am sorry to hear about German laws being a big pain while making this video as that must be such a terror editing through because of it [And I am rather not surprised considering how much they've censored Half-Life and it's expansions and continuations within the country. Maybe someday a better lawmaker can step up and change that I'd hope]
Thank you for the very detailed thoughtful comment that isn‘t just „you‘re wrong it’s funny“. I agree myself that I repeated the „this is offensive“ line too often. We can disagree on the AI thing, as I said there truly are infinite opinions in that topic and who am I to claim one is right. And yes, what I said in the response there was a fringe case, but also the most extreme. I believe there are bound to be way more cases with less extreme effects. Thankfully, as you said, most grow out of it. And I agree with you saying nobody involved should be harassed. I edited my pinned comment to explain my thoughts in a way better way, and to respond to many commenters. Most responses I gave weren‘t that well thought out. In the pinned comment I tried to spell out my stance very exactly.
@@1lucia I absolutely understand, I appreciate your response and I'm glad you understand some of my points, as while I know I'm probably saying some things you may or may not agree with I'm glad your being civil overall as that's as respectful as anything in good will can be. Although I felt I might've overdone some parts of this comment since it looks like it was ripped from some novel but overall I believe that Crack-Life could've done better if it cut down much of the dubious humor. I think as it stands though that it's a unique mod within it's own right of the modding scene and while it could've been better the result was a very memorable mod for most people and became embedded in that regard whether or not the mod was morally questioned at the time and I think that's something very fascinating in regards to nostalgia. I am wishing you good luck and I'm looking forward to the next upload whenever it may be as while this video had a couple parts I disagreed with It had many good critiques regardless and your other content is enjoyable. Besides I'm not really the type of guy who says something without valid reasoning in my opinion and a clear explanation and I wouldn't want to make someone change their own opinions since we're all human at the end of the day and we all have our own feelings on subjects. Asides all that I hope your in good health and are having good summer Lucia so take care and stay safe now [And keep the AC on cause it's going to get warmer from here]
@@jakeohligerintheflesh I agree in that it would've done better cutting the "dubios" humor, and as I mentioned in the video, the mod does have funny aspects, just that others drag the overall image of it down. But ye, also wish nothing but the best to you my dude, hope to see ya in another video :P
I think it's sweet when people censor slurs and such in media, even if it's older media, and I get where Lucia is coming from, but even I think it should have just been left at the disclaimer at the beginning tbh. It's nice to see someone genuinely trying though, it makes me happy :]
I use to laugh my ass off to this mod when I was kid. Seeing this video now not only brought back memories, but also made me realize how messed up this mod would be if it was released today.
The very fashion this video had to be made in shows why Crack Life is funny and why the fact that we are losing the very right to make fun of and parody things is a tragedy. Stuff like this mod were made to poke fun at the rising social climate around the internet during its time, a climate that was trying to force everything into this neat bubble where nothing bad ever existed or will ever exists. Its not made with any bit of hatred, but absurdity. Its meant to indulge you in such absurd things that you realize all the bullshit the internet and even real world is fighting over, is sometimes meaningless social crap. I mean, just watch this video. Lucia is censoring every single word that could even be percieved as "bad" and even visually censoring words like retarded, and they spend half the video only saying sentences that are variations of "this is not okay". Stuff like Crack Life was a part comedy and part warning to not let things get so serious that we cannot make something like that. Stop indulging in every dystopian dream twitter has and laugh at the social climate you're in once in a while.
Meaningless social crap? I'm sorry man, I don't believe in censoring everything but he was right- it has aged terribly. Nazi imagery and saying the hard r every five seconds isn't "meaningless", for example he literally couldn't show half of it because it's illegal in Germany. Saying racist shit for no reason isn't funny, it's corny and acting like Crack-Life is some sort of genius social commentary is laughable
@@mungologgo5526It's funny because it makes people mad, and it stretches the boundary of what's acceptable. Those mods don't seriously attack anyone, and hell, the final boss is Нitler.
@@mungologgo5526 my bro thats literally the point, its supposed to be a racist cancer shithole, mod maker didnt make it as some kind of comedy, this is literally just whats the most offensive thing at the moment and throw it into goldsrc, i agree it aint some social commentary but the point is its always supposed to age terribly, its supposed to be always bad. plus germany is a leftist hellscape, and its suffering alot because of it.
I guess I should‘ve been more clear on this: I don’t think there is a significant number of people getting offended by Crack-Life itself, since it specifically advertised itself as being offensive, so people would know to steer clear if they get offended by it. What I‘m more critical of is people being uncritical of it, and specifically acting like all it’s doing is entirely okay. It normalises offensive humor, and while I’m sure some adults are able to clearly separate it as an obscure form of satire or whatever (which I‘m not sure if I‘d fully agree to it being that, but I wouldn’t see much of a problem with it if everyone saw it as only that), kids and teenagers are not. And as is the nature of any videogame, these mods will mostly be played kids and teenagers, who are notoriously impressionable. And a 14 year old playing Crack-Life and thinking „oh this scene was funny where the scientist said the n word“ will take on that humor and use it with their friends etc. etc. And often times this is the start of a path that leads down an extremist rabbit hole where they just end up becoming more and more bigoted. Of course, I am in no way implying this happens every time, but it happens often enough that I think that Crack-Life should at least be analysed critically and not just be seen as „le funny mod“, where it should be reminded that what Crack-Life is doing is not okay (even if I perhaps repeated it a bit too often in my script lol). As I said a few times in the video, feel free to enjoy any of the mods, I would just advise to enjoy with caution.
@@1lucia I mean yeah it's not really offensive anymore but I'd imagine edgelords would think it's the most controversial opinion ever that'll own the libs or something
@@1lucia >where it should be reminded that what Crack-Life is doing is not okay .... Wow, who would guess....It's just a shitpost, imagine being offended by a mod.
Hell nah, the gorilla copypasta in a 2024 video ? Although, quite fitting with the subject :') I must admit, even though I'm not using this kind of humor outside of very closed circles, I still found it quite funny, just in a different way (When I was young it was the edgy side that appealed to me, nowadays it's the "Let's make fun of my young self and friends by imitating them" side) Anyway, great video !
@mungologgo5526 yes you're right about that for 2 instances in this video where I specifically mentioned it, for the rest it's just me abiding by UA-cam's rules, it's either censored or nothing.

I suffered in the process of creating the whole video of the campaign mode in its hardest difficulty years ago. Surprisingly they're doable. I only did use cheats to see how long was the last bossfight, then load back to the clean run. My religious ass got me changing the pistol model, it felt like a war crime. One of the mods of all time.
I get that this mod is not for everyone, and as a UA-camr you have to be very cautious on such stuff but i think the amount of "this mod is not funny ok? only underage people like it" type of comments are just too much imo. It feels like you basically repeat the same thing over and over again. Otherwise a great video.
Thank you! And yeah I agree with people saying that I perhaps repeated it too often, which is sloppy script work on my part, but also only that. So to be clear, the message still stands, just a bit of a mistake in the script where I repeated it once or twice too often.
ppl get mad at this mod yet they dont realize that it was made in 2012 when everything on the internet was edgy. siemka321 was aware of this perhaps why he made anniversary edition less offensive
Video would be a hell of a lot better without you moral🚬ging about the game not being le hecking wholesome big chungus every two seconds, the bit about AI voices was specially bad, like, who even says that that is "immoral" nobody cares omg

There's a ton of people criticizing in the comments, so please read this before commenting:
Something I want to add to my stance on Crack-Life, especially given what many people are saying and claiming:
I would love to engage with more comments, but I know it’s likely that many have already made up their minds; I’m down to discuss more nuanced points, though. If me saying that this mod is offensive made you mad, I legitimately don’t know what to tell you. Here’s a more in depth explanation, which I would have put in the video itself had I known the type of response I received:
First of all, if you’re 17 or under (or perhaps even 18 or 19) your opinions on this mod WILL change as you get older. 16 year old me would be out here RIDING for this mod, but I have grown up and realized that is wrong, and I am embarrassed of myself. I’ll give you all the pass on defending the mod for now, but looking back on it you will (hopefully) find yourself agreeing with me. Yes, even if you think you’re mature and smart for your age, I hate to break it to you but no you're not. I thought I was smart as well, I was wrong. EVERYONE is dumb around this time, which is fine. I'm mentioning this because you might think that I'm 100% in the wrong and that what you believe can't possibly be argued against, when yes, it can. So please just hear me out.
Okay so:
Do I believe Crack-Life is causing harm?
No, not directly.
Nobody that fears being offended will be out here playing Crack-Life and screaming at it- that’s just not happening. If you laugh at an edgy joke and nobody that will be offended by it is around to hear it, that’s fine in theory, but also only in a vacuum. Unfortunately we live in a society (Jonkler?!?!) where everything you say and do has ripple effects. Obviously in most cases saying an edgy joke with your friend in private will not harm anyone. We can all agree on that. The problem is if you view said joke as completely unproblematic just because you were able to laugh at it.
While I say that Crack-Life is not directly causing significant harm, I do believe that Crack-Life, and especially people giving it uncritical praise (many of you in the comments rn), are normalizing offensive humor that can truly end up affecting people. How, you may ask? Kids (or dumb adults).
Say a kid plays Crack-Life, they see a scientist say a slur and laugh at it. They will then see people calling it “based,” and nobody tells them that it may be an offensive term to some. They then go and repeat said slur wherever and to whomever, and until their frontal lobe develops enough, they’ll keep using this humor until they eventually grow up and learn to do better. As I said earlier, I used to be edgy as hell too- I wish I could go back in time and change that, but I cannot. It’s important for me to warn you that you all WILL be embarrassed by your past self, but trust me, that’s normal lol
Am I “virtue signaling”?
No. I know this may come as a surprise to some of you, but I don’t actually like r*cism or h*mophobia or anything similar being perpetuated. Insane concept, I know. And yes, this also goes for “ironic” use of it as well, which is just… using it. Saying a slur and then claiming it’s “irony” does not change anything, especially in a mod that never claims it’s ironic and will most likely be played by kids. I’m also not scared of being “canceled.” There is literally no UA-camr that has ever been successfully canceled, and before you start to list off your favorite UA-camrs that were exposed as p*dos, no, doing something illegal does NOT count as being “canceled.” That’s called breaking the law.
“It’s so sad that there are so many disclaimers.”
Why do you care so much? Just ignore them. Also, and I hate to dissect my joke and I don’t know how you can miss this, but I exaggerated them on purpose- I literally remade the Star Wars intro using warnings like “Witchcraft” and even included the Navy Seals copypasta (kudos to those who saw it lmao)
Did I repeat one too many times that “this mod is offensive?”
Yeah, I did. But that doesn’t mean I don’t stand by that point. It’s just a script error. Also, while I already stated this in the video, I want to repeat it once more: Just because it doesn't offend you doesn't mean that it can't offend others. And that's fine. To perhaps give an example: If I printed out a picture of your grandparents and wrote "Assh*les" on it (and this is a tame example, replace with something more extreme in your mind if you feel like it), it wouldn't offend anyone but you. Someone saying "Boo hoo you're crying about it why are you offended I think it's funny" would at best be ignorant, and at worst something way worse, depending on what scenario you might imagine (r*cist, h*mophobic or similar). In any case, that person would be an assh*le. Being offended in certain situations is warranted and more than fine. And 2 people can very much experience the same thing differently, that's normal and fine.
Regarding the AI voice thing
I feel stupid even responding to it because I even clarified in the video that tons of people have different opinions, I simply shared mine. I even defended Crack-Life's use of it. Overall, my stance on it in most times is rather critical, but my opinion is not gospel. Feel free to share yours.
Relax, people.
Seriously, nobody is “outraged” by Crack-Life, nobody is coming to take it down. I’m literally just here talking about a piece of Half-Life modding history and comparing it to today. I’m simply pointing out that it is offensive, which is objectively true as the mod itself states it is. We should not normalize humor like this anymore, and should thus not blindly praise it, which is what many of you are doing currently.
I unfortunately doubt that I’ll be able to change anyone’s mind, especially if you’re younger. You must come to that conclusion on your own. Changing people’s minds was not the intention of this video anyway- I literally just wanted to take a look at Crack-Life.
If you’re an adult that is full-on outraged by this video and see absolutely no problem with Crack-Life, you’re embarrassing. Not even its devs would do that lmao

Off topic here:
The irony that this offensive games makes modern gamer felt offended feels like the early 2000's boomer hating on games like Mortal Combat, Manhunt, Saints Row.
I never understood how someone could get offended by crack-life. It's just toothless slop with early 2000s image board jokes where the humor was just in trying to piss people off any way you can. It's certainly no martyr of comedy or evil boogeyman of offenciveness. Crack-Life is just a 2012 time capsule that's fun to look at like a zoo exhibit
It's 2024 so half of this video had to be Lucia prefacing everything with "the humor in this game was and is still not okay" or risk getting cancelled.

You have a genuine skill issue for the 2015 campaign. The skrillex boss for example is very easy to beat. You have to blow up his speakers and then you can defeat him. The later half of the game's enemies do have a lot of health but the dual double barrel shotgun takes care of them pretty easily. I forgot how I beat Shrek but he is reasonable to defeat. The only boss I had considered cheating on was the last boss but eventually I was able to beat him by just being patient and making sure to jump around enough. You should not use the rockets and grenades, the hand blaster that you get during that bossfight is the weapon you're supposed to use. You have enough ammo for that. Keep in mind I played this back in 2015/2016 so I was also much younger and not an fps veteran like I am now.
tl;dr if you think this mod is hard, be glad you haven't had to play something like Doom's Plutonia map pack

oh and btw if you look into skill.cfg of CLCampaign. You'll notice that the GargBot as the final boss had like 666666 HP so there's why it takes so long to beat it, but at least the Hand Blaster did a ton of damage (basically the non lethal ver of Bieber Boombox from Crack-Life 1.0) & you need to do alot of BHop to dodge & kill some of the enemies in the arena

It's an anomaly in its purest form: Illogical insanity made with relative talent.

Im not surprised you dont like the mod, after all fun is illegal in germany
The only problem with the video I have is that Lucia taken the mod a little bit too seriously. Which it shouldn't be taken as in the first place.
The mod itself is like random gmod mods that meant to "give "fun"". The word "crack" already taking the whole explaination there. And those mods are indeed usually done regardless of credits for IP (intellectual property) or else. And I'm pretty much fine myself with it if it does not monetize the borrowed assets in any way. Will it be an AI or even a model. I don't think you should bother of morality there either. Especially if one never meant to (or do) hurt original creators in any particular way.
This is legit such a throwback lol

There was a charm to that old offensive humor, a lot of it didn't have too much substance (and uh oh you can't say that word waaahhhh waaaaaah) but you were truly free to say whatever. Since it wasn't limited to the fringes and the worst of people, there was way more room for creativity. Basically, In the Weekend SFMs and old Official Duck Studios.

Crack Life isn't offensive, it's kinda good tbh. I loved every second of the mod.
That acid and absurd humor is gold.
It's 2024. If someone somewhere, doesn't like something it's instantly offensive. Sad times.
The Campaign Mode is actually beatable, I managed to do it, but it takes a hella lot of quick saves to do so, especially on the final boss.
Skrillex boss fight is pretty easy, you just have to shoot down the machines that are above him and then shoot him.
The UFO boss is also easy, just camp in the corner that is closest to the door you're supposed to progress through and shoot it with the crossbow, if you get there before the alien grunts spawn, they won't notice you.
Shrek is also easy, just spam the double barrel shotguns to kill him and don't stop moving.
As for the final boss, I just used all of the gluon gun ammo and then spammed the rocket launcher on him since it is bugged and you can still fire rockets from it even when you are out of ammo.
Lucia tried so hard not to sound racist that he made me fall asleep out of sheer boredom

As for the comments thing, you are totally right. I think I have said everything I wanted to add in the pinned comment and will be leaving it at that.
Have a wonderful day as well! :)
I have to admit this isn't one of your best videos personally
I think that while it did make good points about most of Crack-Life as it's humor has aged and some aspects of it are not as funny the video did drag with the "don't condone" messages to the extreme and at the very least should've been brought up around certain sections of the video. That doesn't mean I'm saying the mod is that good, I've seen better joke mods that utilized jokes way better and I certainly think the mod has a major issue with relying on so much offensive humor where it's just random = funny [Which can be funny only in some sections] and the jokes could certainly be in better taste [of course the modder isn't a professional comedian but he did show a good bit of comedic talent in at least some sections of it]
That being said one qualm I have is the part talking about AI voices, now I want to preface by saying I don't condone voice actors being outright replaced by AI or anything likewise but the thing is that the modern speech synthesis AI is fairly recent and while I know tons of people don't like it other's might not agree.
Does that mean I'm saying it should be used commercially? No, absolutely not but I think that Crack-Life using it isn't such a moral dilemma as it's rather up to opinion and if the lines were even funny at all.
And it's very clear to me that the guy was using it in good fun rather than bad as he wasn't selling Crack-Life out to the highest bidder or getting payed from it [Honestly I'd be surprised if he even gets paid from Crack-Life] since it's a community sort of mod and isn't made in mind with the morally devious financial banking in mind. You can disagree with my opinion on the AI aspect and I'm cool with that either way.
Only other issue I did have is that you also said in one reply to a comment is that this would drive kids into some extremist pipeline [Which in most cases isn't the case unless the person is question is not doing well mentally] since most cases I've seen of people liking this type of humor usually learn to grow out of it and not endorse it or care for it after so it's usually not someone is going to become a horrible person afterwards. Sure it could be a case for some but it's most likely a minority of people who are or will be, but either way that's also my take on that aspect.
This video for the most part did have many good points and while we can agree to disagree on some topics this shouldn't lead to any harassment of me, Lucia or anyone else as it's not warranted for our own opinions so just be respectful.
Anyways, I do hope to see more from you Lucia and I am sorry to hear about German laws being a big pain while making this video as that must be such a terror editing through because of it [And I am rather not surprised considering how much they've censored Half-Life and it's expansions and continuations within the country. Maybe someday a better lawmaker can step up and change that I'd hope]
Thank you for the very detailed thoughtful comment that isn‘t just „you‘re wrong it’s funny“.
I agree myself that I repeated the „this is offensive“ line too often. We can disagree on the AI thing, as I said there truly are infinite opinions in that topic and who am I to claim one is right.
And yes, what I said in the response there was a fringe case, but also the most extreme. I believe there are bound to be way more cases with less extreme effects. Thankfully, as you said, most grow out of it. And I agree with you saying nobody involved should be harassed.
I edited my pinned comment to explain my thoughts in a way better way, and to respond to many commenters. Most responses I gave weren‘t that well thought out. In the pinned comment I tried to spell out my stance very exactly.
@@1lucia I absolutely understand, I appreciate your response and I'm glad you understand some of my points, as while I know I'm probably saying some things you may or may not agree with I'm glad your being civil overall as that's as respectful as anything in good will can be.
Although I felt I might've overdone some parts of this comment since it looks like it was ripped from some novel but overall I believe that Crack-Life could've done better if it cut down much of the dubious humor. I think as it stands though that it's a unique mod within it's own right of the modding scene and while it could've been better the result was a very memorable mod for most people and became embedded in that regard whether or not the mod was morally questioned at the time and I think that's something very fascinating in regards to nostalgia.
I am wishing you good luck and I'm looking forward to the next upload whenever it may be as while this video had a couple parts I disagreed with It had many good critiques regardless and your other content is enjoyable. Besides I'm not really the type of guy who says something without valid reasoning in my opinion and a clear explanation and I wouldn't want to make someone change their own opinions since we're all human at the end of the day and we all have our own feelings on subjects.
Asides all that I hope your in good health and are having good summer Lucia so take care and stay safe now [And keep the AC on cause it's going to get warmer from here]
@@jakeohligerintheflesh I agree in that it would've done better cutting the "dubios" humor, and as I mentioned in the video, the mod does have funny aspects, just that others drag the overall image of it down. But ye, also wish nothing but the best to you my dude, hope to see ya in another video :P

German government censoring media? Old habits die hard I guess
I think it's sweet when people censor slurs and such in media, even if it's older media, and I get where Lucia is coming from, but even I think it should have just been left at the disclaimer at the beginning tbh. It's nice to see someone genuinely trying though, it makes me happy :]

The very fashion this video had to be made in shows why Crack Life is funny and why the fact that we are losing the very right to make fun of and parody things is a tragedy.
Stuff like this mod were made to poke fun at the rising social climate around the internet during its time, a climate that was trying to force everything into this neat bubble where nothing bad ever existed or will ever exists. Its not made with any bit of hatred, but absurdity. Its meant to indulge you in such absurd things that you realize all the bullshit the internet and even real world is fighting over, is sometimes meaningless social crap.
I mean, just watch this video. Lucia is censoring every single word that could even be percieved as "bad" and even visually censoring words like retarded, and they spend half the video only saying sentences that are variations of "this is not okay". Stuff like Crack Life was a part comedy and part warning to not let things get so serious that we cannot make something like that. Stop indulging in every dystopian dream twitter has and laugh at the social climate you're in once in a while.
Meaningless social crap? I'm sorry man, I don't believe in censoring everything but he was right- it has aged terribly. Nazi imagery and saying the hard r every five seconds isn't "meaningless", for example he literally couldn't show half of it because it's illegal in Germany. Saying racist shit for no reason isn't funny, it's corny and acting like Crack-Life is some sort of genius social commentary is laughable

honestly I wanna meet a person who'd be offended by a half life mod from 2012
I guess I should‘ve been more clear on this: I don’t think there is a significant number of people getting offended by Crack-Life itself, since it specifically advertised itself as being offensive, so people would know to steer clear if they get offended by it. What I‘m more critical of is people being uncritical of it, and specifically acting like all it’s doing is entirely okay. It normalises offensive humor, and while I’m sure some adults are able to clearly separate it as an obscure form of satire or whatever (which I‘m not sure if I‘d fully agree to it being that, but I wouldn’t see much of a problem with it if everyone saw it as only that), kids and teenagers are not. And as is the nature of any videogame, these mods will mostly be played kids and teenagers, who are notoriously impressionable. And a 14 year old playing Crack-Life and thinking „oh this scene was funny where the scientist said the n word“ will take on that humor and use it with their friends etc. etc. And often times this is the start of a path that leads down an extremist rabbit hole where they just end up becoming more and more bigoted. Of course, I am in no way implying this happens every time, but it happens often enough that I think that Crack-Life should at least be analysed critically and not just be seen as „le funny mod“, where it should be reminded that what Crack-Life is doing is not okay (even if I perhaps repeated it a bit too often in my script lol). As I said a few times in the video, feel free to enjoy any of the mods, I would just advise to enjoy with caution.

I will always lament that when I bought hl1 almost 10 years ago, I played crack life first
The fact that this also got an ANNIVERSARY VERSION is insane and shows how wild this mod was able to stand the test of time.
a mod when people where not snowflakes
I suffered in the process of creating the whole video of the campaign mode in its hardest difficulty years ago. Surprisingly they're doable.
I only did use cheats to see how long was the last bossfight, then load back to the clean run.
My religious ass got me changing the pistol model, it felt like a war crime. One of the mods of all time.
I get that this mod is not for everyone, and as a UA-camr you have to be very cautious on such stuff but i think the amount of "this mod is not funny ok? only underage people like it" type of comments are just too much imo. It feels like you basically repeat the same thing over and over again. Otherwise a great video.
Thank you! And yeah I agree with people saying that I perhaps repeated it too often, which is sloppy script work on my part, but also only that. So to be clear, the message still stands, just a bit of a mistake in the script where I repeated it once or twice too often.
Bro had to warn us 500 times💀💀 it not even that offensive.whats weong with internet people nowdays😑
The trigger warning is absolutely insane
this could be Gordon's mind when he is in stasis otherwise i cant wait to see crack life 2
10:56 Ah yes, saying a bunch of no-no words is horrible and offensive, but people dying is okay. What's wrong with you dude?
ppl get mad at this mod yet they dont realize that it was made in 2012 when everything on the internet was edgy. siemka321 was aware of this perhaps why he made anniversary edition less offensive
@4:00 that "doom gun" is the quake 2 railgun model.
Crack life is the ultimate throwback to the early 2010s in the best and worst ways
Video would be a hell of a lot better without you moral🚬ging about the game not being le hecking wholesome big chungus every two seconds, the bit about AI voices was specially bad, like, who even says that that is "immoral" nobody cares omg
Same, shit impossible to watch.
He's censoring the mod while dozen other videos show it in full lmao
