Please avoid posting Half-Life: Alyx spoilers. I know it's exciting having new information on the story, but most folks watching this video are doing so BEFORE playing the new game. Have some respect for their playthroughs and let them enjoy something they've probably waited over a decade for.
-
If Cave Johnson was alive for the black mesa incident he wouldn’t even care about the alien attack, he’d just be laughing at the fall of black Mesa
-
"However she instantly becomes self aware." "I am a potato."
-
Fun trivia: Wheatley is so incredibly dense, when he and the Space Cube are sucked into the vacuum of space, Space Cube immediately begins orbiting Wheatley.
-
But like can we talk about the genius of Portal 2s ending, like the song that the turrets sing literally being just Glados saying how much she loves Chell, proving she didn’t actually delete Caroline but made it Italian because she’s too petty to say it in a language Chell actually understands
-
Glados: kills everyone Glados: “now I’m lonely”
-
Aperture Science: Create portals and got all killed Black Mesa: Create portals and got all killed Doom: Create portals and got all killed I'm beginning to see a pattern here that I'm not so sure I like
-
I like how portal 2 confirms that the combine were kicked off the planet with the simple sight of a field, something that disappeared under combine rule due to them sucking the life out of the planet
-
Man, it feels like there's so much lore left unexplored in portal. I know it's the longest of long shots but deep down inside I still have to retain some hope that valve will eventually revisit it.
-
I can't wait for Portal: Rattmann
-
Have we talked about Chell’s AMAZING aim? She hipfires the moon shot, and it lands within 10 meters of the Apollo 11 Lander and buggy.
-
You missed the most important part. The microwave casserole incident
-
As sadistic and dangerous glados is, it wouldn’t surprise me if the combine just gave up and never tried breaking in since most of her defense systems were so terrifying
-
If Cave Johnson were alive during the Half-Life alien invasion: “Cave Johnson here. Well, it’s finally happened! Black Mesa has screwed up majorly. Their stupid experiments have blown up in their face and released aliens into the world. We ARE all under attack, and probably screwed, but it’s still satisfying to see them fail for once. Anyway, keep testing.”
-
“I want me some Portals!”, both companies said at once. But neither were prepared for unforeseen consequences...
-
32:00 Portal 2 takes place long long after hl2, and the ocean being present on earth most likely means the resistance won the war, because the combine had a plan to dry up all the oceans
-
Take a shot every time a character loses consciousness. Then you can level transition half life style.
-
Can we just appreciate that, the Black Mesa incident happened in the 2000's, and the sequel happens 20 years later? 2020 be like: o shit
-
Is getting knocked unconscious a personal hobby for half life characters?
-
Imagine be Chell who escape finally Aperture Science after tons of years and see those Half life's monsters.
