It has been a long time since we made a project for the HOGM channel.
This one is our longest project yet made by over 24 GModders.

We hope you love it!

Welcome to what might as well be the final stretch out of 2020 that just so happens to have a jolly holiday. It’s no secret that 2020 was….bad, I’m not even gonna sugar-coat it, it was just bad for reasons that we all know by this point. So instead of neglecting on the pain that was Last of Us 2 getting all the Game Awards while Doom got none, let’s instead look at the current state of Gmod collabs as well as reflect on the year

Today is also the deadline for the Gustave’s Adventure Vacation collab. If you have an entry you’ve have yet to send in to Yakup, you might want to hurry if you want to get in.

As part of Drago celebrating his 1K sub milestone, Scout is going on another Video Game Adventure. This time in the new, fancy, barely in stock, PS5. What games the Scout will have to go through is ultimately up for you to decide.
Deadline: March 13th 2021
That’s all the news for this post, so let’s take a moment and look back at the collabs that were completed this year. Unfortunately not as many came out in 2020 compared to last year, but those that were completed did help keep people happy during a time where laughter was practically the medicine in high-demand.

Gmod Collabs in 2020:

During the course of this year, we had an Engineer escape from the insanity he caused during his short-lived hitman ventures.

2 Heavys fought over a golden sandwich which resulted in…..wait a minute. The ending still hasn’t even been released in-between all the Among Us/Fortnite animations! “Coming soon” my virtual avatar rear!

Meanwhile Scout was taken back to the past, to play the sh**ty games that suc- I mean traverse through various video game worlds to escape out of his PS4….only to get trapped in a PS5 a few months later. Guess it’s not easy being Scout.

JC said the line for the 20th Anniversary of the Deus Ex franchise. I don’t think more needs to be said after a legendary milestone like that.

The Red and Blu Spies had a duelling competition, with Blu Spy ultimately coming out on top.

And lastly, a brave magician Soldier fought a golden bucket through thick and thin.


No doubt this year has been a very hard time for everybody and I imagine that it will be difficult for some to get optimistic for 2021. However I think the best to take out of this year is that we’ve been through the worst, and as long as a majority keep their minds straight, things are only going to go up from here. For every slap in the face from Nintendo’s boomer mindset, there was a Demo Mesa to act as a small victory that we can all enjoy.
On that note, I’ll be off to sort out a couple final things for my TV setup because let me tell you, some devices decided to be really picky as soon as they detected a 4K TV at the end of last year. Oh well, least it will all be worth in the end, and I’ll be able to play Bubsy on the SNES while the PS4 is taking its sweet time downloading the next Crash Bandicoot game.
Happy holidays everyone, and I’ll see you all next year with more Gmod collaboration news!

Welcome to the spooky month for this collab news round. There’s not much to say for the month itself that doesn't involve skeletons so let’s cut to the chase.


Gmod Update:
https://gmod.facepunch.com/blog/october-2020-update
The next update for the game arrived yesterday with the major addition being a preset feature for addons, allowing you to set up a playlist of addons to quickly enable or disable. Should come in handy for those addons you don’t typically use outside of multiplayer servers.
Besides that it has also added support for the new Left 4 Dead 2 update “The Last Stand”, and the ability to hold the Shift key to position the finger poser more smoothly.

Deadline: May 2nd 2021


That’s all the news we have for today. I’ve got some things to work on while trying to 100% Sonic Forces on PC (don’t ask, I was bored), so I’ll see you all next month.

Welcome back to the collab news that is being posted just after I went through the annual heat wave in the UK. Luckily the weather has cooled down so I can comfortably post this short round up, so let's get into the news.


Update:

Red and Blu Spies have had enough and are gonna fight to the death! Which one will out match the other? I dunno, that's for the collab to decide.
Deadline: November 15th


That's all the news we have for this month. Now if you excuse me, I need to give a rock a driving test in a go kart[imgur.com], because that's somehow what I've got myself into, while the heat wave was destroying my mind. Hope it goes well as apparently kart racing is quite vicious with all them shoes, spike balls, and self-propelled bombs.
See you all in the next post!

Welcome back to what is looking like a not-so monthly collab news after 4 months of inactivity. Apologies for the lack of posts as this was partly due to me being picky on having enough news worth sharing to warrant a monthly post. Obviously I can’t predict the future but I plan on making due with what comes up even if means shorter posts with only 1 collab update and/or announcement mention in the long run. With that update out the way, let’s get into the backlog for what has happened during this time.


Updates:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgsPM1_TjIk
The sequel to Engie’s Hitman Adventures was completed and uploaded in April with Engineer escaping all sorts chaos.

Later in May, Heavy went on his Golden Sandvich adventure in the 2 part hour long collab that still hasn’t gotten it’s ending despite the creator releasing 6 SFM videos since Part 2’s release and even a clip compilation of their content. Your guess is as good as mine.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2VeP9OMBwk
And as if there wasn’t enough adventures already, Scout got trapped in his PS4 and went through various video games to find a way out in June.

In that same month, the 20th Anniversary of the Deus Ex franchise was celebrated in Butane Boss’s collab. I wonder if JC has said the line yet.

Announcements:

Red Spy seems to be done sapping sentries as he’s planning quite the big scheme and now it’s up to Blu Engineer to stop him by collecting scrap metal to develop a counter-weapon. It won’t be easy though as Spy has also hired other mercenaries to stop Engineer’s quest in this collab.
Deadline: August 9th


That’s all the news I have for this month. I would make the typical joke about game releases this past month but I’ve been marathoning the entire Ratchet & Clank series in preparation for the new one amongst having to deal with a blocked ear for a week, and now I need to set my mind straight to get back to work before Kamiflage turns me into a cow again.
See ya all in the next post.
