War of the Servers is a full-length Machinima Film made using Half-Life 2 and the Garry's Mod add-in to HL2. It is a parody retelling of H. G. Wells The War of the Worlds done within the computer environment of these two programs.The film opens with the narrator and protagonist describing the Garry's Mod environment in Half-Life, used to play with the physics engine or to build constructions inside it. The trouble begins when a strange fog envelops the world: one that the administrator of that particular server neither enabled nor is able to stop: and a new contraption appears, which eventually starts vaporizing every player in the game, except for a few fortunate to escape.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Administrators of various servers ("admins") begin a concerted effort to mount a war against the invading hordes of new users, called "mingebags." As the movie progresses, the admins are unable to stop the mingebags, and various efforts are made to try to attack their contraptions, by air and by any attempt the admin military forces can devise.For a film constructed using machinima, it is very well done, and does a fairly good translation of the Wells story, even to the ending where the mingebags are defeated, basically they're a bunch of kids, and quit when they have to go back to school on Monday.You can see the film here. | |

Badass Normal: Steinmann, the protagonist, is one of the few players to survive the invasion, even after a face-to-face battle with the invaders themselves. | |

| War of the Servers (Web Animation) / int_6b22aace | comment |
Not So Invincible After All: The Mingepods could easily be taken out with Lua coded bricks which undoes the welds holding them together (The Artileery guns use them, Two Admin planes use them as bombs, And one could believe that the Thunder Child uses them for her ammunition.) What makes them hard to stop is how quickly they destroy players. | |

Jerkass: Arguably the Mingebag players. Either they don't know that they're effectively perma-banning hundreds, possibly thousands of innocent gamers, or they just don't care. | |
