Half life 2's graphics look good even now. Freeman live !

[@namanyadav8061]

They should make half life 3

[@AndresFnt]

Yes the graphics still hold up. The only other game I can think of around this time that had impressed me with graphics besides this was Tom Clancy's Double Agent but that came out 2 years later than this. There is a scene in that game in Hong Kong with fireworks that is amazing. Crysis too ppl made a big deal about- but this game was the forerunner

[@hungviet8333]

@@AndresFnt yeah, Half life 2 was so advanced at that time.

[@TheOne-um6xi]

Not really. Half Life is super overrated. I'm not saying its a bad game, but it definitely isn't impressive compared to other games released around the same time. Almost no gameplay, 90% crawling through tunnels, mediocre story, etc

Just a small thing, the David Blane Easter egg is unintentional. That model is actually of the late Warren Slough who was a brother in law to one of the developers.

[@TheDigitalguyy]

So why does he levitate?

[@MomoTr502YearsAgo]

@@TheDigitalguyy he problably goes that way bc that standing animazion is problably default for him idk maybe im wrong

[@dankmemebunny]

@@TheDigitalguyy the model is offscreen, and it was probably as the model leaves animation they go into the idle one which is just floating.

[@M3rk420]

Cheaple

[@gamejunk1e]

The model's name is called Cheaple, its basically a way to show faraway civillians without sacrificing much performance.

[@farkrits]

A lot of effort went into making this video, we can clearly see it from the quality. It deserves way more views than it has.

[@oKnightzo]

Thank you 😊

[@fxsupermaster]

It does. But sadly there are mostly kids or young viewers on youtube now, im not saying that there are only kids, And also, most kids do not know what Half Life is, since it’s such an old game.

Its not actually modeled after David Blaine, this video is misinformation. It is actually based on Warren Slough.

Talking to the Vortigaunt in chapter 4 while completely stoned was an experience.

[@Ribbons0121R121]

the part where he is levitating may be a joke but its actualy to keep it in one place so it can look like its just walking down a hallway instead of walking in circles

[@addderalll]

The font. The font you used makes me happy. Brings back memories of FunWithGuru. Fills a little hole in my heart.

[@DarkKyugara]

This video is great, but you missed one of the G-Man spots in Ravenholm. Another point is tea couple can be seen throughout the entire franchise, we meet them at the apartments in Half-Life 2 right before escaping the Combines.

[@oldaccount5477]

Heh G-Spots

[@chocofrolik834]

The G-Spot in Ravenholm is from the Beta, it is cut content. It does not exist in the retail game.

[@Paynamia]

Not sure about the levitating, but that character isn't modelled after David Blaine, he was modelled after the brother-in-law of Ted Backman, Warren Slough.

[@Ribbons0121R121]

its a kind of dev trick so the loop looks better

[@LightgreenLP]

Just the mention of Black Mesa gives me goosebumps. The vortigaunt's dialogue about the Nihilanth as well.

[@JR28.]

5:40 that poor headcrab. I was depressed all day after seeing him die like that, he was just chilling :(

[@johnathantest469]

He stomp

[@ireneparkin3360]

Some of these secrets are achievement related. The vortigaunt in the cave nets you the Vorticough achievement and finding the old H.E.V. faceplate nets you the Blast From The Past achievement.

[@ernestoyounes2946]

Ahhh this video takes me back to 2007... Good times finding easter eggs on half life 2

I remember when I found myself the Lost easter egg. That time I was a Lost addict. I couldn't belive my eyes. I tought Lost came to alive. It was one of that gaming moments you get just a few in a lifetime...

There’s a weird thing I found in ep 2 where the door to the blast door sealing control is broken you can throw a grenade in there but a combine throws it back at you and closes it

[@ScopezThePontiff]

This summer, I’ve played Half Life 1, 2 and it’s episodes for the first time. When I had checked the release date of HL2, I couldn’t believe how these games were 17 years old. It’s insane how far Valve were ahead of the entire gaming indistury. I can now understand why people are still waiting for HL3 lol. Their game design is simply the best.

[@m.b.p5060]

wauw,thanks,half of these i didnt know about and i love this game so its nice to see a video about it

[@AymericNightmareTV]

The second easter egg, male_cheaple, is modeled after the husband of a woman working at Valve. He died in 2006.

That “magician” guy is called Cheaple. He was a person who died and I think he worked for Valve (not sure) but ya. Cheaple died so they made him the low texture model. That wasn’t the magician guy. The T-Posing was because there’s no animation for him in the corners. It helps preserve CPU power and game rendering time if they make him T-Pose.

[@Skulldeath11]

Warren Slough he died in 06

[@intellectlol4566]

The game's soundtrack really hit me

[@matthewmiles15]

Well for the Radiohead reference, the band's logo is on where the driver's front *airbag* comes out.

[@3vi1J]

The "David Blaine Levitating" @2:16 was later revealed to be a "Recreation for TV" where they used wires to demonstrate "what people saw". His actual levitation is him standing at an angle to people and balancing on the toes of one foot (which is why he can't get more than 4 inches off the ground) while his planted participants gasp in amazement.

- This game is ahead of it's time for many reasons . - It's also one of those games you can replay over and over without being bored of it "todays games are very fast forgetable and has a short lifespan" . - The Lore/Story of the whole Half-Life, Portal , is so immersive & interesting as it is very mysterious still today . - People didn't understood why Freeman don't talk it's because we all the players are "The Freeman" and interact to the game differently even by speech to ourselves or to our friends while playing . - Still people are making mods similar to another game "Doom" makes both games the holy grails of video games . - Don't understand why some people hate this game franchise ? Sadly we will never see Half-Life Episode 3 at all too bad since it would end the whole Half-Life 2 game . Also the graphics , game mechanics has changed way too much today it would ruin the game experience and the nostalgia . Also i hope they will never make a Half-Life 3 since there's a part missing in the story . I would rather see a TV Series from this franchise would be more wiser imo . Anyway games from 1995-2005 are still the best many efforts were done back then . Todays games are lazy copy itselves over and over with the same errors, bugs and what not . There's no more "real research" into making a video game as something "unique & revolutionnary" .

[@michailamvrosiadis9715]

Your videos are really fucking cool man, it looks like you really enjoy playing games like this one. I don't know how else to put it, great job !

You missed one thing. In episode one Alyx and Gordon goes to a wet place, and Alyx shows a wooden thing and says "Can we fit on this?". It's reference to Titanic :)

[@markusrosso]

Just a thought: in HL2 there are two Romanian references. Father Grigori from Ravenholm is modelled after Daniel Dociu, a video game art director, concept artist and former chief art director of NCsoft North America. Also, on some levels, notably Bridge Point, there is a sign board by the shed in the yard that reads: NEVRIN54 INSECTICID NEUTRALIZAT PERICOL DE INJSETARE ATENTION CALDURA INTENSIVE GRSIAL TANMERIT. Ignoring the typos, it reads: neutralized insecticide danger of ingestion attention intensive heat mistake. The last word is probably gibberish.

[@alterrapda9057]

Another Easter egg is the Godzilla Easter egg. In the chapter A Red Letter Day, grab the hidden padlock. When you are in Kleiner’s lab, put the cactus, water and padlock in. Wait for Barney. When he turns on the monitor, check the outside power area.

the "cheaple model" is not modeled after David Blaine. the face is Warren Slough. it's called "cheaple" cause it is only used in moments like this. for scripted action in the distance, to add atmosphere to the game...but since it is never to be viewed up close, the textures and shading are not fully rendered.
