Story:
Andromeda Laboratories, 2025; Unknown to the public the United States government funded a biological and weapons maker known as Andromeda Industries. Andromeda Industries created everything for the US government from firearms to highly advance missile guidance systems to biological weapons. Following the success of there inventions for the US government, Andromeda Industries received trillions of dollars to open up a new research and development group to redefine the means of physiological warfare against the enemies of the United States. By 2028, Andromeda Laboratories created a device that could teleport subjects into an alternate reality suspending subjects into their own subconscious mind. The device was nicknamed "Mad World".
Secretly executives of Andromeda Industries decided to test their creation on their own people, people of lesser importance to the company. One by one lower end employees began to disappear within the company. Official word from the CEO and President of Andromeda Industries stated that the company needed to make major cutbacks. People began to question the reasoning behind the ongoing statements from the CEO and President of the company. Those who questioned them soon ended up like the others.
In the coming days Mad World will be complete and the enemies of the United States are about to experience madness like no other. But before it can be tested on the battlefield, one more test subject needs to be tested; designer and creator of the Mad World device, Doctor William H. Wells, former top research and development scientist at the Black Mesa Research Facility.
"The great proof of madness is the disproportion of one's designs to one's means."

R.I.P. English language.
lolz
I take the blame from something like that, altough I'm not going to play the mod, but most of these things are from a twisted imagination to say the least, but presenting bible stuff that way is kind of going to gross out everybody, not that the mod is bad, it's just weird.
Really? I haven't yet played the game, but from what I heard, it's either really religious or creative. Now, if it's religious, just because you are Atheist, or believe another religion, doesn't mean all other religions are wrong. I myself am not very religious, and not Christian, but atleast I'm not a jerk about it. If it's creative:The very idea of fiction is for fun with things that are virtually impossible. I love fantasy and such, because it gives you the ability to enjoy anything you cannot enjoy in real life. So, my point is, don't be a jerk because people like other things than you.
given all the conceptual art and everything, was really disappointed with this bible mumbo jumbo.
2 deep 4 me
I hope I did so, because believing in non-existant things is pretty much fail.
Sorry, that's what I think, if you are a prayer, I don't mind.
(buried)
It's not hard to say what i think.
As i played that mod, I thought that it was made by a 10 year old ****, whose parents are fanatic christian fascists.
But there is not only bad critic from me.
At least you tried
And now, **** off!
Because like it reads in the book Exofuck Jakob, psalm 8: You shalt get the **** off, and stuff your mod into your ***.
im an atheist but im tolerant of peoples religion so really stop being a troll or STFU as i really hate arseholes
And I'm sure you're setting a wonderful example for atheists around the world.
