Get a Life is a mod for Half-Life 2 created in 2008. After the player character, Alex, is knocked out at work, a Zombie Apocalypse starts, threatening to spread to the entire world.

The game provides examples of:
- Body of Bodies: The Antlion Guard look-alike is this.
- Double-Edged Buff: The 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.
- Everytown, America: Skyptel, the town where Alex lives and begins the game.
- Equipment Upgrade: The Steyr weapon becomes more useful once you get the upgrade for it, eventually becoming a pseudo-sniper rifle/machine gun hybrid with a complimentary underbarrel grenade launcher. The standard CP99 pistol also has an upgrade in the form of a Laser Sight and suppressor.
- Giant Spider: They appear throughout the game, aiding the zombies.
- The Men in Black: The EVIS (Emergency Viral Infestation Section). They're also just as cold and ruthless as the asshole Combine from HL2, even sharing their exact same voice lines in fact.
- Zombie Apocalypse: It starts out small, but gets bigger as time goes on. Eventually, the zombies overrun the world.
