You mod guys have it easy. Plugin writers don't get access to most of the stuff in the server dll's and, of course, nothing on the client-side. Since I mostly write plugins, the limitations of a client-side simulated ragdoll seem much more important to me than to someone writing a mod. Some things are still possible from plugins; although the best stuff usually takes a ton of work and "hacks." The "skull cam" from c0ldfyr3's CSS goremod plugin looks a lot like that video though.
