What is your favourite Half-Life game?

[@TheRunningSongs]

While it may not count as an official *half life game*, black mesa for me was absolutely stunning and entertaining all the way through, my dad was into half life as a kid, and had started playing through the games again (i was playing portal at this time and we both had 0 idea they were in the same universe), and the one game he hadn't replayed was the first half life. And then he found out about black mesa and that was that, then like a year later i reinstalled it and got slingshot into my favourite game franchise to date!

[@ilikepigeons6101]

I am dead sure that the vortugants, the grunts and the nihalanth itself were originally meant to be all related species cuz of the key feature that they all have a 3rd arm on their chest

[@BoeBins]

The nihilanth's third arm has stitches around it, implying that it was surgically grafted onto the chest. This detail is missing from the Black Mesa version, so it is often overlooked.

[@ilikepigeons6101]

@@BoeBins that sounds weird but rad. I wonder what the story implications in that design choice is all about

[@funnyperson7656]

I always thought that maybe the 3rd arm was a part of the power of the Vorts so maybe the Nihilanth was trying to harness more power or be more like vorts.

[@MrHinchapelotas]

@@ilikepigeons6101 my theory is that, given the nihilant is escaping from the combine, he was grafted a third arm to make him "compatible" with and capable of controlling the vorts, which is why we don't see mind controlled vorts by the time of HL2.

[@srdjanrikic978]

My theory is that the controllers are created from the nihalinths dna but the alien grunts are biological weapons created from vortigaunts, also the 3rd arm is stitched onto the nihilith so it's possible he added to himself and to the controllers so they could control the vortigaunts, aka he tried to recreate their powers somehow? Also maybe the 3rd arm is just something species with psychic powers have

[@Skyrionn]

Good to know.

[@thomasrose4523]

[@Skyrionn]

[@mikeoxlong1395]

Yeah...

[@mikeoxlong1395]

Speaking of which, here's a question to se if you're a real OG: Do you remember floppy disks that were actually floppy?

[@kneecaps4530]

I'm 17 and know what a floppy disk is, it's honestly beyond my comprehension how compacted data storage has become

[@TrinityCore60]

I remember hearing about those! But I was born in 2001, and they were before my time. So I just learned about them from a Magic School Bus episode.

[@BlaireSnorlax]

I really, _REALLY_ hope the G-Man's Employers stay at least somewhat how they are described here. If so, it'd make sense why, even in Alyx, the most recent entry, the Combine seem to fear the G-Man more than hate him. The Combine kills what they hate, they don't imprison it. Enslavement is for the good, death is for the hated, and imprisonment (which we haven't really seen them do for _only_ imprisonment) is what I feel lies in store for those they have no real hope to ever defeat. Sure, they can strike at the face of the Gods, but they can't kill them. Not yet, anyway, and it'd seem that they never will given their track record with Humanity. Truthfully, I'd be surprised that, if The Employers remain this way, they wouldn't the reason the Combine exist in one way or another. Both sides are predatory, but one seems to at least do so through silent, stealthy ways instead of kicking in the front door and stealing everything, literally everything, including the house, its most basic materials, and even the foundation it was built upon.

[@tricursor2481]

I havent completed the video yet so i dont know what it says, but the theory that Gman's employers are and always have been Valve or the writers makes sooo much sense. Especially the Alyx ending. "This entity will continue, and this entity will not" (entities are what objects are referred to in source) and "that would be a considerably large nudge. Too large, given the interest of my employers", which basically means "without the combine there is no story, and with no story there's no game", of course it wouldn't be in the best interest of his employers (valve) for the combine to just disappear.

[@John.McMillan]

That's probably why HL3 either won't happen or is taking so long. There will never be an answer as satisfying or as good as what we can speculate. What I do want to know though isn't so much who employs Gman, but what tf are they paying him with? What does an effective god like being get out of just gradually nudging the timeline of earth? The long run has to be to affect the Combine, but if that's the case why earth? Why not attack the combine directly?

[@tricursor2481]

I don't like it as a plot point, and i think if they ever explore gman more, or his employers, they'll come up with another explanation. But it still makes the most sense to me, having complete control over every little tiny thing, the way he talks about things, etc.. obviously there are other explanations but it's always been interesting as a concept to me.

[@Skyrionn]

I agree mostly with what you have written. I love to see some of the ideas from Finale and Nihilanth recycled a little and used in a possible future release.

[@BlaireSnorlax]

@@Skyrionn Ayyy, agreed~

[@Blurns]

Before the Combine had been created for HL2, the implication of "Nihilanth" is that the G-Man was employed by the interdimensional empire that was after the Nihilanth. HL2 was going to continue that story, but was abandoned in favor of making the G-Man & the Combine separate things, with Breengrub now likely being the current explanation for the G-Man.

[@D-2340]

Good to see that you captured the iconic destruction of the casserole. Gordon is a highly trained professional for that.

[@c0rn651]

god just imagine how amazing the half life lore would be by now if valve didn’t release 1 game every 15 years

[@WK-47]

A lot of the appeal comes from how much is left open to speculation and imagination. More lore doesn't mean better lore. What's unforgivable is a massive cliffhanger that took 13 years just to get partially resolved. Worst case of blue balls I ever had.

[@jason4482]

This might be the most ironic take in this whole comment page

[@thomashughes4267]

Idk, Halo has had constant lore updates for over a decade and it seems to just get more bloated and muddied by lame additions

[@imperatoriacustodum4667]

I think Overmind sounds more like what humans would've designated it as, while its true title was Nihilanth.

World Opponent Network is XEN's prototype. Its owners have been changing over time, Sierra, Flipside, then finally got in VALVe's hands. It was VALVe's top priority for company's expansion since the first half-Life release, having a grand vision for WON service in the future. VALVe successfully bought up that online service, the service that connects players in multiplayer games and does patches distribution. But the problem was the service was slow because of all distribution was done directly via central servers, later WON evolved to STEAM, VALVe hired Bram Cohen to implement p2p distribution system for half-Life 2 allowing the content to be distributed locally among the users. Rings the bell already ?!

[@bazooka93]

Nah, Xen wouldn't be WON. Steam is as destructive to video game market as Combine would be to the Universe, and Combine did not evolve from Xen.

🫠 I dont want to be that guy but i kind of wonder about the writers before mark laidlaw more and more. Half life 2 never hit the same for me it was less a sci fi thriller mystery and more a dystopian war of the worlds mashup with some zombie like horror. Although maybe i misunderstand how the original was actually written it sort of comes across like everything started more coherent at first, then laidlaw came in and had his own vision and then things just became harder and harder to continue. I loved zen but honestly im happy it got toned down into more a etherial experience. what the heck is this launching humans as snacky wackys for the giant space baby and soul sucking machines i do not understand. I miss the series feeling like some area 51 themed thriller where as time has gone on it turned into something more and more disconnected with that, just yet another zombie like game but with some aliens instead of traditional zombies. Honestly the fact we dont have half life 3 already is probably because valve lost that vision and the fact none of it feels right isn't surprising. Alyx was the only good game after the first imo and in its case maybe like the original it worked because they let gameplay decisions carry the story, but as a fan of the original world building i really miss what seems to have been forgotten, the forgotten sci fi feel of it all.
