If none of you know Rube Goldberg is responsible for the weird yet cool overly complex contraptions seen in loony toons and other cartoons. Anyway if anything shows testimate to HL2's physics engine it is this. A friend of mine at school found this and they are so amazing, have a look!

The Zombie killer mechine - perhaps this with put Father Gregory out of a job some day!

Bowling pin knocker over - very interesting

Ass kicker mechine - One of the coolest I've seen, very physics relient.

That third one reminded me of a mapping compo held at the VERC, when it was still ERC. A competition all about creative use of beverage machines. This one is nifty, too, but for some real fun stuff you should check those maps out. Too bad I can't find them anymore as both the ERC and the VERC are dead now... :|

I feel sorry for the poor son of a bitch who made those D:

Edit: I vote that this thread be converted into a "post your weirdest GMod contraptions" thread.
