The Half-life universe is home to many terrible fates. The vast majority of the community believe that the possibility of being transformed into a Stalker is by far the worst, but this is nothing in comparison to the other atrocious dangers of a Combine controlled Earth.
What was the worst fate? What made one experience worse than another? And would you rank these in the same order I have? In this video, we explore them in this Collection of Terrible Fates in the Half-Life series.

@ambrusraul2297 7 месяцев назад

Perhaps the most barbaric fate even worst than what you described , is the core hold of humanity the combine has : Rather or not to drink the water to make you forget . If you refuse the water you will suffer de hydration . What if you do defeat the combine off Earth but have no more water ? That way the combine still wins wiping out humanity by wiping themselves . If you drink and forget , you may forget your loved ones , relocated to another city and become a soldier for the combine and kill your family . You still die , or they decide to turn you into a stalker anyway.

One fateful day, the scientist at Black Mesa, dr. Gordon Freeman, woke up and got to work to push some buttons. Only this time, he was "the right man in the wrong place". All the other scientists watched Dr. Gordon Freeman push the button he should've never pushed. No one could've truly know, what terrors would that results in. The world would never be the same ever again. Those few, unlucky enough to survive, will never forget the tragedy of The Casserole Incident.

Stasis doesn't seem so bad. To quote Red Dwarf: "Oh, you don’t feel a thing. The stasis room creates a static field of time. See, just as X-rays can’t pass through lead, time cannot penetrate a stasis field. So, although you exist, you no longer exists in time, and for you time itself does not exist. You see, although you’re still a mass, you are no longer an event in space-time, you are a non-event mass with a quantum probability of zero.” Simple as that.

@WilderPoo 6 месяцев назад

There's that Stephen King story called "The Jaunt" on teleportation which is pretty horrible, which is like stasis in some ways, just spatial instead of temporal. If you're conscious while teleporting, you don't experience an instant. You experience eternity. Your body moves instantly, but your mind gets stuck in some latent space for what feels like billions of years. Imagine being without senses for so long, you will run out of thoughts to think. "Longer than you think!"

@DarthGTB 6 месяцев назад

I feel like being in stasis is akin to being dead or the stage before birth (for those who believe in afterlife). You essentially do not exist. There is no consciousness. When you are brought back from stasis, it would probably look like when you wake up from a dreamless night.

@Carnivore301 7 месяцев назад

I've had a theory for years that the headcrabs from Half-life 1 and 2 were actually two different types: The headcrabs from HL1 were natural, feral headcrabs, as they show no signs of being organized in any way. Their hosts also showed no signs of consciousness once they became zombies. On top of that, in opposing force they eventually would grow into giant, hulking, projectile throwing beasts that we never saw in HL2. The headcrabs from HL2 on the other hand were genetically modified by the combine to be the ultimate terror weapon. Likely modified so that their zombification process would not only keep the host conscious, but also make it obvious to every else that they're still conscious and suffering in ways unimaginable. The headcrabs were also launched in large pods to areas that freeman was known to be at. Their hosts also never grew beyond the initial stage of infection.

@brianery 6 месяцев назад

I thought the Casserole Incident was going to be a horrific description of being nuked in the microwave by Gordon Freeman. That you'd go as far to describe in every vivid detail as the seconds felt like hours the pain inscrutable. As you were ruined. Your ingredients erupting from you. With only the ire of a silent, yet perceivably psychopathic presence forcing its gaze down upon you. Unable, as a casserole. To understand the pure waste and wanton destruction being wrot this day. Know your purpose and lifes dreams were to go unfulfilled. In your final moments before the indomitable pressures around you force your very being to burst you let out one last gasping dispation of air pressures in that asking: "Why?". Your final glimpse of this world before entering oblivion are hallucinated memories. Imagining the moments you'd have spent with your creator The loving Dr. Magnusson.

I believe stasis is probably the second worst thing here behind being controlled by a headcrab.

If you think about it, the zombine faith takes a long turn, those people were once metrocops who were forced to battle against there own and kill there own just to live then were slowly turned or promoted into soldiers who have probably experienced many battles and adventures without realizing it cause the combine wipe out memories And a anticlimactic ending being turned into a zombine, and the only concious thing is the empty soul inhabited in the soldier

@dxfan18 7 месяцев назад

Any kind of transfiguration seemed horrifying, even into becoming a soldier, since you'd underdo all those horrific surgeries and have your memories wiped, deleting who you once were. Yet the Combine somehow convinced the Metrocops that it was a good thing. After watching this though, the combined torture of becoming a headcrab zombie and being stuck in decaying waste would have to get my vote. You're in never-ending agony and you're glued in one place, maybe nobody will ever find you or even consider putting you out your misery since you're no threat to them.

Little fact for the “what cat?” If you place an item on the little teleporter in Kleiner lab and continue to activate the portal. It’ll eventually blowup on the 2nd portal, giving you the achievement “what cat?”. Probably indicating that the cat exploded. Makes sense why they didn’t go into detail too.

Sure. 1) The video didn't perform too well and I though people may relate the word "Slideshow" as not too interesting. I rarely change thumbnails after they've posted but I just wanted to show off this cut Half-Life media. I may change it back at some point though if it's noticeably different to the other thumbnails. 2) I'm glad they're making a difference. I may do. I've added them to the last few months of videos. Is that something you'd like to see on all of them?

I think becomeing a headcrap zombie is the worst way to go becaus you're slowle becoming a gonome; having that headcrap on your head sondenly become 2x the size it was, and (I belive it can happen) living long enoght to become a gonarch.

@theflock4916 6 дней назад

I think the scariest part of half-life 2 is how alike the stalkers and overwatch soldiers actually are, both have their memories and emotions wiped and are painfully modified to fit their role, with absolutely zero free will, the only real differences between your average foot soldier and a stalker is how advanced their modifications are, the combine truly viewed humanity as a means to an end no matter how subservient they were.

8:48 i kinda think that the combine shit is well over by the time chell is released from apperture science, because for apperture to become so abandoned it must've been at least 5000 years after the combine had reign

@spaceacepl4636 6 месяцев назад

the thing is in portal 2 we see a wheat field stretching as far as the eye can see portal 2 is also said to take place at least 50 thousand years after the events of portal 1, according to the developers some people also said that the damage points to the game taking place 78 years after portal 1, but for all we know, a bunch of constructs might've been maintaining aperture labs while chell was in stasis we even "see" nanobots which are supposed to maintain the place besides, if the devs said that the game takes place in a very distant future, then the game takes place in a distant future and the chance of every single half life character (maybe except for dog and everyone kept in stasis by g-man) being long dead by the time chell leaves aperture science with the companion cube is surprisingly likely also, you'd think that aperture labs would've been claimed by the combine a long time ago, but there are no traces of the combine's presence in portal 2 afaik

I don't think Father Grigori deserved his fate. He clearly just wanted to save everyone from an even worse fate that his. Im pretty sure that charpled corpse on the electrical station was just trying to climb the fence but was electrocuted to death. I too would go insane if I was surrounded by tormented souls trying to kill me.

@Skyrionn 7 месяцев назад

Oh he absolutely did not deserve his fate. He was a strong man with a great morals. He chose to sacrifice his sanity to save those around him. He did deserve a place in this collection just because of how awful it was. Pray for Grigori.

@matthewmchale4063 9 дней назад

I think in the first situation, he’s implying to Gordon that he will be killed in every variation of reality. As in, he will be killed in infinite universes, not that he will be tortured. The line about being killed in impossible ways supports this, because other universes could theoretically have different physics

@Hurtydwarf 5 месяцев назад

Barnacles were always described as an instant death as the tongue grabs by the head and snaps the neck. Gordon was always protected by his HEV suit so it couldnt do much more than just stick and pull. Larry getting grabbed by the ankle doesnt make much sense. The Wiki, as reliable as it is, also confirms they only go for the head/neck. Alyx describes the stalkers in Ep1 and talks about horrific it is. Becoming a zombie from the headcrab is probably worse as you're aware of everything, its like being in a coma where you can hear and feel things but not react. I feel like all the worst fates are the ones where you stay alive and maintain consciousness, suffering the entire way through. Stasis, while probably lonely and getting hit with the existential crisis that you dont exist in the timeline eventually, probably isnt very painful. Cant imagine you're aware of sitting in a timeless space, it probably just feels like sleeping. Especially considering the vortigaunts entered the Employer's stasis to retrieve Gordon for Ep1.

Barnacle's tongue is not sticky, but in fact are really strong. Usually they kill the victim by eating them but sometimes even quicker if they strangle them to death.

@Home_Rich 7 месяцев назад

I wonder, are there any su*cidal victims in HL universe? Imagine walking in a C17 block, you hear a wail of a citizen witnessing a hanged and bloated corpse of another fellow, clearly been stressed by the pressures of the Combine. Not trying to entice the appeal of self-harm, but *imagine;* such a grotesque scene, hiding in an unintentional pathway, found only through pure exploratory curiosity of theoretically expansive map. Some games need that kind of reality check.
