The reason the zombine appears to be headless is because the head is stuck in the headcrab’s “mouth” and when the headcrab is removed, the combine is decapitated and the combine can resist every now and then because the headcrab is not fully on their skull when the zombine pulls out a grenade.. it’s the combine ending their pain

Mr. Friendly was actually cut due to the engine's incapability to make the player's vision blurry. He was meant to knock off Freeman's glasses to blind him, and then, "do his thing." GabeN actually approved of Mr. Friendly being put in the game.

zombine lore(?): the helmet is welded to the soldiers so when the headcrab falls off it rips off the head and helmet

[@zendalton7437]

You got a few things wrong here and there. There was a clear demonstration of headcrab transformation in HL1 and HL2 that were not shown in the video. Headcrabs are not nearly strong enough to pull one or two people barely any distance and would not throw gibs like that as it would ruin the host. Zombies tear open the chest to from a sort of second mouth because the headcrab covers the original. There was an opportunity to show off the much clearer reversed zombie sound that says "God help, help me!" The zombine's head is torn apart on removal of the crab due to the massive augmentation of a combine soldier's head requiring the gas mask like face parts to act in place of a skull. (Head augments seen in an in game diagram) The mask is likely removed by the crab. The voice is the combine's vocoder and does not require the rest of the head in order to operate but does require some amount of brain function. Xen is not the combine homeworld. It was a dimension the nihilanth and vortigaunts escaped to in order to get away from the combine. Nihilanth is a slave to the combine, vortigaunts are slave to the nihilanth. The nihilanth says "you are man. He is not man" The nihilanth does not release projectiles from its open head. I would not call stalkers mutants. Gman is probably not Gordon, it doesn't make sense when you consider the first game's choice scenario where Gordon could choose to die instead of going with gman. If Gordon was gman, he'd have to force it to make sure he ends up existing eventually.

[@zendalton7437]

Some more stuff: The doll is probably not haunted, just squeaky/has a noisemaker. The cremator was not intended to use a flamethrower. In the leak, it used a green plasma thrower to melt corpses, headcrabs, bullsquids, and other organic pests/waste to keep the streets clean. Fun fact: gman on the tv is on a boat and the scarf looking thing is actually a crow flapping it's wings to look like a scarf in the brief time the tv remains on. Fun fact 2: metrocops are not combine soldiers and are never seen as zombies. Metrocops are human volunteers who go unaugmented but are given authority over the citizen majority. I bring this up as a metrocop image was used while talking about zombines.

I don't get the joke *someone help me*

[@lordhamster9452]

I also found the corpses in antlion caves quite terrifying. Taken deep underground for the larvas to feast upon them. But didn’t find any secrets or story about it.

-When you stand near the red portal in half life 1 ( the one that you will confront the nihilath ) you can hear "the voice of black mesa" -when you in the "on the rail" chapter of half life 1 you will hear a agony scream in the distance ( this sound sample then use in left 4 dead when the warning "here they come" ) -inside gman brief case is a 357 revolver -gordon and alyx is the symbol of hope for humanity, when combine invaded earth, no children were found, Gordon and alyx relationship building up when they spend time together is the signs of ...love, and you know what happen after love ( even eli encourage gordon to go for it ) -gman is related to nihilanth ( the tie is the disguise for the thirth arm ) because he can travel through dimensions can exists outside of time -nihilath translation = not man, nihilath warn gordon about gman that he is not man... -and *gman is not barney although same voice actor, gman is not gordon freeman* -gman is the chess master, he make a small move that have huge consequences ( the crystal, the nuclear bomb that destroy black mesa ) the combie military is repersent for pawn ( thats why they die alot, and the floting white bean die so hard ) gordon is the knight, the knight have unique pathing, and doesn't move like other character explained by the line : the right man in the wrong place can make all the differences in the world ( in chess knight is the only character that can kill the queen with no pathing problem ) in chess in order to win, you have to sacrifice, Kliener and Eli repersent the bishop ( the death of Eli is a must, in order to progress to the endgame ( not related to the avenger ) till now only hl3 will explain why his sacrifice is a must requirements ), and barney is another knight ( he has his own game half life blue shift for crying out loud )

Many of the things you mentioned are not cannon. Specifically the events of blue shift and Opposing Force (Barney being a knight, Gman planting the bomb in black mesa)

@15:00 is the sound they discovered is made by the planet Saturn. Fitting for something this creepy and mysterious.

jesus saturn makes sounds like that? well i guess it isnt scary if you dont see the context of the clip but still creepy as hell thanks for the advice of never going to saturn btw

I must have played Half-Life games over 50 times and still missed a few of these cool scenes, a very cool video indeed, I never looked at Half-Life as something scary but you did a great job of pointing out many of its horrific elements,tnx.

[@MrGermandeutsch]

11:55 Wrong! It is not "HE WANTS MAN". It is "HE IS NOT MAN" wich could be a direct reference to G-Man. 14:22 I would rather believe that G-Man stands for Govermemt Man. But I also need to clarify that his name was *_NEVER_* mentioned even once in all of Half Life. Not even Eli Vance told us a single word. And time travel? Seriously? Gordon can't even talk.

[@mechasam]

It's a shame Valve abandoned the Half-Life series. Easily my favorite FPS with a curious plot.

thank you and i am so confused about those moments those are amazing i hope valve still cares about us you are amazing dude i like your way to describe and say the words you are the best youtuber ever

[@bothatguyyoudontknow]

The G-Man was actually a scientist that worked along side Freeman and Alex's dad in Black Mesa. There's a picture showing them all together.

[@hib7295]

That's gotta be the weirdest comment I have ever seen as there is absolutely nothing pointing to that

[@bothatguyyoudontknow]

Then you mustn't off looked at any of the pictures of the scientists grouped up mate lol Both PC and console releases have that picture.

15:20 Does someone know which song is playing in the background? The choice could be a hint on which was ment by it. Background: in the ZNation episode S03E03 Murphy's Miracle the chinese reinforcements use the song "Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen" by Gustav Mahler played as a loop on a specific radio frequency as signal for their demise.

I loved your video but a minor detail... the nihilanth In 12:04 was saying “you are man... he is not man... for you he waits... for you...”

[@underloudfan3557]

At 1:56 children laughing really . I heard children screaming in fear.

[@foxprazision1695]

11:59 it's not "he wants man" it's " he's not man". I think this is a reference to the G-man because he has the same powers as the nilianth. 16:18 the borealis was a missing ship in portal also. So maybe they accidentally sent it away in a giant portal, in an attempt to make better technology than their rival company, black mesa. This also be the reason their isn't half life 3 and portal 3. The developers might still be trying to find a way to tie the stories together more or combine the games all together. I am probably wrong because I've only thing I've played closet to half life is gmod and portal.

[@reeceemms6844]

how can you play gmod and portal when portal is also part of gmod the main character of portal is a player model in gmod and there is a portal gun mod and they have the map from portal 1 and 2
