What is Modding? How Some of Gaming's Strangest Creations Led to the World's Biggest Esports

by devaccess



Modding. It’s responsible for some of gaming’s weirdest shit.

But outside of allowing you to beat the shit out of Shrek in The Legend of Zelda, or encouraging people to combat a dragon version of Macho Man Randy savage in Skyrim, modding is also responsible for spawning some of the biggest esports titles in the world.

It’s beautiful to see Brutal Doom be mentioned in a video that talks about video game modding.

yeah because Skyrim had unofficially became a harem. The nexus, lovers lab, p0rnhub had flooded with slooty, kinky, naughty, overwhelming, c0ck erecting mods.

And of course Lord MXR, the god who make our game full of possibilities. And the one and only modder, who succeed to appear on the search list on p0rnhub

Project M is arguably the best Smash Bros and that’s a mod banished to the shadow realm.

really surprised you didn't mention team fortress for the original quake. i had messed around with mods for doom a bit, but tf was the first mod i played that completely changed the game. those lan matches blew my fucking mind when i was younger. too bad tf2 is just a hat collection simulator…

Oh come on, i know people tend to hate on LoL, but get your facts right, Dota2 started development in 2009, LoL was RELEASED in 2009, it was announced in 2008.

Just a little bit sad that you didn't mention the Minecraft mods that predate battle royal, since it had also become a game mode with moderate success
