1'''Get a Life''' is a mod for [[{{VideoGame/HalfLife2}} Half Life 2]] created in 2008. After the player character, Alex, is knocked out at work, a ZombieApocalypse starts, threatening to spread to the entire world.

6!!The game provides examples of:
7* BodyOfBodies: The Antlion Guard look-alike is this.
8* DoubleEdgedBuff: The [[BulletTime Slow-mo Talismans]] are this, since while they do temporarily slow down time to a crawl as well as drastically increase your damage output, the latter is also the same for your enemies as they do '''MUCH''' more damage whilst the effect is active, so using it wisely is the best course of action.
9* EverytownAmerica: Skyptel, the town where Alex lives and begins the game.
10* EquipmentUpgrade: The Steyr weapon becomes more useful once you get the upgrade for it, eventually becoming a pseudo-[[SniperRifle sniper rifle]]/machine gun hybrid with a complimentary underbarrel [[GrenadeLauncher grenade launcher.]] The standard [=CP99=] pistol also has an upgrade in the form of a LaserSight and [[UsefulNotes/SilenCers suppressor]].
11* GiantSpider: They appear throughout the game, aiding the zombies.
12* TheMenInBlack: The EVIS (Emergency Viral Infestation Section). They're also [[MirroringFactions just as cold and ruthless]] as the asshole [[ExPy Combine]] from [[VideoGame/HalfLife2 HL2]], even sharing their '''exact''' same voice lines in fact.
