[@GIJew]

It really isn’t. Epistle 3 shows us that it’s a setup for a potential relationship between Gman and the Vorts. Many have speculated that the Vorts are Gman’s “employers,” and there’s a lot of evidence supporting it.

[@gianrc2992]

When she said "Look out! He's got a grenade!", it seemed like Alyx was trying to distract Gordon in order for her to run out of his sight, escaping the awkward situation she got into by saying that zombine pun.

Thanks for these vids, the plot of episodes 1 and 2 always gets murky for me so this is a helpful reminder for hla

[@TheKnewGreg]

6:46 actually, I think you were supposed to place the physics objects under the pipes to prevent it from dipping. At least, I hope the solution wasn’t to stack every physics object because I just used one chair (it also might have been preparing you for the later puzzle with the barrel)

[@yeetleslaw8529]

There is a lot of good hidden jokes in this playthrough. I haven't played HL since the orange box release. This is better than reading an wiki.

[@Bane_Diesel]

Hey I have no one else to say this to... Half-life was the most important game for me as a kid (halflife), a teen (hl2), and now alyx an adult and my best friends were the same way. Upon the release of alyx my friends were furious and refused to play because they were pissed it was in VR. I just want to say if you are fortunate enough to own vr and alyx share the experience with them. I went so far as to offer my vr headset and computer to them, they declined. I don't know other people close enough to share the experience. Everything Philip says is as if it is coming from my own brain and even though he lives overseas I feel like our experiences were almost identical. Thank you so much for all the great content hopefully someday at a csgo event we can meet.

[@omyyer]

Episode 1 was the first Steam game I played. Back in 2010 I discovered that Portal was more than just the 2d browser game, and I instantly wanted it. One day I saw it piled with The Orange Box in my local GAME store for about £10 and took it home excitedly. I had to make an account on something called Steam and worse still - I had to download the games from the internet rather than install from the disk. Madness! My rural broadband at the time was so slow that I had to choose a game to download over night. I figured that Half Life 2: Episode 1 sounded like the first in the Half Life 2 series. It was the smallest download after all. I had a blast with it, never understanding why the gravity gun was so effective against the combine but useless against the zombies once I'd left the citadel.

the physics puzzle at 6:47. You did this wrong like I did the first time I done this. You're actually supposed to jam stuff under it, not see it as a see-saw.

[@RevolverRez]

I just finished replaying it and did the very same thing, used it as a see-saw. The problem is its very similar to physics puzzles in the main game, so I guess most people will do that. It still gets results though, which is a neat thing about Valve games.

This video makes this episode seem longer than it really is, its over quite quickly. However I did get stuck at that part waiting for the elevator in the dark, really creeped the shit out of me.
