HALF-LIFE - A LINEAR SEQUENCE OF SCARES

FINALLY CIVVIE DID THE THING. THE HALF-LIFE VIDEO. 

This one did take a while because, uh, well it's an hour, has a cameo, and I spent a lot of time tweaking it to try to make it as concise and to-the-point as possible. That does mean that I don't spend 20 minutes shitting on Xen, but I think I get my point across. Fuck Xen.

I have a way of making videos where I will keep working on it until I am tired of looking at it, then I'll probably spend another day going through it, and by the time it goes up, I hate it and want it off of my hard drive. Don't call it a video essay because it's under an hour and has too many jokes about testicles. 

Happy 2021!

Pro black Mesa when Civvie?

Marc Thomas

Great job, so excited to see more of your stuff

Suggestive Carp

Err.... Where's the discord link?

This was great, also the part with the headcrab's ass... Just fantastic. Keep up the good work.

Originally got half-life because my friend said I needed it to play CS with him...quickly fell out of love with that, and in love with the base game. Was happy to meet this iconic video with my tag in glorious pink.

I do wonder if/when you're going to do AVP1/Classic 2000. That game stands out as being one of the first games I played over LAN at a game shop. It's also suuuuper buggy (in that in the original release if you watch the cinematic at the beginning of the level to completion, it DESTROYS the framerate for some reason.) But it also has one really cool feature that...I...don't think I've seen done in any other FPS since. Explosions work like real explosions, in that they're physical objects that deform to the area that they're in. Like I said, I don't think any other game engine has that... But anyways, awesome as always!

Corhellion

Late to the party but this was worth the wait. Gotta give you credit for the title, but it makes me wonder, seeing as he's popped up in a couple of videos now... Pro Max Payne?

Dirk Hoderin

Aha, I did wonder why there was no HL whit so many other fps game. Ty CIVVIE!

The Lord of Iron

Same. I had to take a support break due to the Panasonic, but now I'm doin' better, so it's time for a cheeseburger for my man down in New Mexico.

Alison & Alex

Civvie is on the motherfucking up & up. Been tuning in for 2 years now and I'm proud to be a supporter of your content.

Mike Nelson

So, uh, when're you going to cover Unreal and Unreal: Return to Na Pali? :)

Ilya Popov

Every time you post a new video, it's like my favorite show has a new season that just came out. I make all the kids and the girlfriend be quiet while it's on and if anyone talks, I take serious offense. Yeah. Anyhow. Do you get money for unlisted videos too? I try to make sure I watch both so you get the views!

November Delta

Hey and who among us hasn't done a non-standard insertion.

Sweet! The road to Half-Life 2 starts here!

ToolofParanoia

Hey Civvie you ever gonna do Doom 2 No Rest For The Living?

Winnie The Churchill

I remember playing this and being blown away by the set pieces and story, but cheating my way through the ending. Geeze, this one was published by Sierra! Remember "Space Quest"? I still have the floppies for SQ2.

Brian Rich

Yesssss, excellent, I'm hitting that like button for that Half-Life 2 goodness immediately.

So many memories of playing this with my dad when I was like ten. It's still his all time favorite game. Also, heeeeyyy, hi Ross!

Nickcronomicon

INJECT THIS INTO MY VEINS

Saurian

YEAH ! <3 tons of love for this one and great job once again civvie :D

I'll take 20 *hours* of Civvie shitting on Xen. Because it deserves it.

RocketMermaid

Plot twist: Civvie is trapped inside Black Mesa, before the resonance cascade. He's the Half-Life prequel.

Let’s GOOO

"He said this tram would take me straight to the surface. Okay... then what's the long way around?"

31:47 A Glock can fire underwater, but the range is about a yard and will kill your ears.

Silentphil9

Civvie, you don't need to be precise in your videos, I would love to watch you shit on Xen for 20 minutes.

Complicated Stares

You delivered, sir. Thank you! I just replayed Max Payne 2 for the first time in years last week, so I chuckled when I saw the title here. If you review Max Payne and all the ports, I look forward to the title "Pro-Payne and Pro-Payne Accessories." I appreciate that you didn't make it as simple as "I love this game" or "I hate this game." The hour-long treatment I think shows the respect you have for it. It's almost like you decided to use environmental storytelling to get your point across! I also appreciate that you're approaching the 4-year mark and there is still a bunch of what I would consider "tentpole" stuff you haven't done. It really heightens the anticipation for a video like this one today. Looking forward to whatever is next! Edit - I'd also like to add, Marc Laidlaw is a very classy gentlemen. I've emailed him twice over the years and he was prompt and professional both times. He really is the heart and soul of these games I believe. Much like the G-Man, he is very effective at informing and/or manipulating the player, often in a subconscious way.

Tripp Andre

Pro half-life SOURCE when civvie?

Was that our lord and savior, blesser and bringer of the light from the darkness, the noble, the sir, the honorable Ross Scott?

avfusion

Mr. McCrunchables

Been waiting for this since I found your channel last year, the best way to start a Sunday.

Sweet! Never played the first half life before. Guess I better boot it up on steam and do a play through before I watch this.
