Felix's Hammer Notepad
Inspired by Reepblue's old Hammer Notepad series, and having finally found a screen recorder that works, I'm going to try to build a new test element every day for a few days and post videos of the results here.
This first one is from Monday: Stasis Gel and Stasis Guns! Enjoy.

Tired of the traditional mobility gels? Felix Griffin presents...Immobility Gel!
The effects were inspired by the Slaver stasis fields in Larry Niven's books. This gel simply puts a stasis field around anything it hits. Cubes, being solid, can actually be affixed in place in midair, while turrets simply jam up.
The viewmodel is the SSMOD Flamethrower, the particles are my own. Note how the gel is very good at determining what surface to stick to, except in the "corner case": if you shoot it at a concave corner, it forms a strange spherical shell instead. It's not a bug, it's a feature. : )
All these cubes are unmodified prop_weighted_cubes, and the turrets are npc_portal_turret_floors; there's no special coding on them. It's all in the gel. With one instance this object can be dropped into your own maps...as soon as I find a good way to package it.
At the moment it says it has about five minutes to go, so by the time you see this it should be up. 
very cool stuff... I like how large the goo looks
Thanks! 
Since I now have a working video recorder, I'll upload a video of the Gel from Scratch map. I'm a bit ashamed of it now, but I don't want to change the original.
Does the ice gel melt when washed with water or cleansing gel? (Probably Bose Einstein condensates of asbestos somehow turned into a fluid or whatever because that's not possible).
I'm still working on that one...cleansing gel freezes when it touches it, so it's sort of the reverse of normal. You need to drop some other gel on it first.

cool stuff
I also like the Back-Stock Portalgun with hand
Is that all of your gels or do you have more? Also, did you make the particles because you wanted to or because you had to use them instead of the normal ones?

I thought that when I saw this too 
My favorite was the green gel for some reason. That's really cool you could do that!
*Begins coming up with puzzle ideas that could involve these gels*
