Synopsis

A man in a colorful shirt presents the problem of children acting immaturely in Counter-Strike: Source, even though a kid shown in the video kills every other player effortlessly. In response, clips of a modification called "Counter-Strike For Kids" are shown, which portray several players wearing clown makeup and carrying toy guns, "pookeyballs", pillows, and other "kid-friendly" weapons. Then, another host takes over for an additional modification sold alongside, called "Counter-Strike: Extreme Gore Edition". Clips are shown of players being dismembered, heavily bleeding, and using larger weapons. A customer testimony by Crackbone is also presented as the commercial closes. A parody of The George Lopez Show ensues, featuring a CS Terrorist whose face is covered by an edited picture of George Lopez messing about psychotically and making silly noises before a Counter-Terrorist tells him that his show has been canceled. George suddenly goes red and angry (Photoshop Edited). The video ends with him turning and shooting all the targets and then it goes into the credits.

Background and Production

The inspiration was mainly based on a sketch from Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! and many segments were conceived shortly after. The original considered format was that of Source Mod Todd, a previous Janus Syndicate series, in which the CS for Kids mod is being presented while brief clips of an extremely gory Counter-Strike: Source pop up randomly on the screen. Custom player and weapon models, sounds, and levels were acquired from FPSBanana, as well as additions by Janus member MrSentual. The first host in the film is played by STEV, who co-wrote the Kids segment, while the Extreme Gore Edition segment's host is played by Xanatos and was co-written by Xanatos and MrSentual. The Crackbone and George Lopez segments were added by Xanatos during the later stages of production.[2][3]
