''[[https://www.moddb.com/mods/crack-life Crack-Life]]'' is a deranged, drug-fueled mess of a mod notorious for its boundlessly offensive, deliberately bad humor which serves as a sort of a period piece of early 2010's meme culture. Crack-Life radically alters the original Half-Life experience by adding new models, sounds, weapons and more.

The story is about is a master rapist and ass doctor named Fordon Greeman who is involved in a suspicious experiment conducted an old guy who is rumored to be a Nazi who wants to start a Nazi apocalypse and destroy the world. Predicably, the test goes awry and the old man does turn out to be a Nazi, and Black Meat gets overrun by the monsters. Greeman now has fight his way through various strange creatures and Admin's Microsoft Sam soldiers to travel to Nazi Germany and stop Hitler from taking over the world.

In ''Campaign Mode'', Fordon returns home from Germany to find that Black Meat was taken over by Soviet Military and that he is to be put in prison for using hacked weapons. After breaking out he steals a random guy's hazard suit and embarks on yet another journey to save Black Meat from the Soviets.
