StevenF has a great lazyweb idea: a simple game-mod would turn the terrifying and brilliant multiplayer zombie combat game Left 4 Dead into Benny Hill, the Game:
1. Start with "Left 4 Dead"
2. Replace all weapons with slapping attacks
3. Replace all zombie models with half naked women, nuns, and policemen
4. Replace writing-on-wall textures with terrible puns and one-liners
5. Replace music with "Yakety Sax"

Result: Benny Hill, The Video Game

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Given the way the files are stored, replacing individual music cues in the game is easy. The key is to not replace everything, but just have it punctuate critical moments. Replacing just the “Taaaank.wav” clips works quite well.

    I wouldn’t play Left 4 Dead, but I would be sold in an instant on Benny Hill: The Game.

    Note: Yakety Sax makes every first person shooter funnier.

    How dare they do this when they should be supporting the Benny Hill Show DVDs like they promised. I have lost faith in Thames Television.

    Hi-larious my good sir.

  • octopussoup

    PLay as Benny, or the other two regulars. I’d play as that short litle old bald guy all the time.

  • hoffmanbike

    i’m currently running the “Macho Man Randy Savage” voice mod and it’s hilarious; this mod would be purely amazing. DO WANT!
