The true Kleiner lore “It starts with One thing, I don’t know why it doesn’t even matter how hard you try”

*It starts with one-*

Honestly, anyone who survived Black Mesa had a lot of inner strength. Doubt he got out of there without fighting, mans a badass. Just a very sweet, dorky one.

It's not all bad for Lamar. She does at least have the gnome to keep her company.

I'm just happy that Crowbar Collective retconned the "it's about to go critical" part to replace a regular scientist with Kleiner to accompany Vance

KIeiner would honestly be an amazing man to hang out with if he were real

My only question… HOW DID THIS MAN SURVIVE THE BLACK MESA INCIDENT? He’s literally Ned Flanders

Dr. Isaac Kleiner is probably my favourite HL character, he was technically the reason I finally decided to give Half-Life as a series a shot due to watching various compilations on players screwing around with the scientist AI in HL1 with their unintentionally funny screams and dialog which became iconic to me, with one of the scientist models, Walter becoming my favourite which coincidentally would eventually evolve into Dr Kleiner for HL2 where I just loved his interactions, involvement in the story and memorable voice acting from Harry S. Robins. Just all around a great character!

I literally subbed to this channel few mins ago and i am already gifted with another great half life lore vid. Good stuff.

It starts with one All I know It's so unreal Watch you go I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end, it doesn't even matter One thing, I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme To remind myself of a time when I tried so hard In spite of the way you were mockin' me Actin' like I was part of your property Remembering all the times you fought with me I'm surprised it got so far Things aren't the way they were before You wouldn't even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then But it all comes back to me in the end You kept everything inside And even though I tried, it all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually Be a memory of a time when I I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end, it doesn't even matter One thing, I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to explain in due time All I know Time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away It's so unreal You didn't look out below Watch the time go right out the window Tryin' to hold on, they didn't even know I wasted it all just to watch you go I kept everything inside And even though I tried, it all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be a memory Of a time when I tried so hard

Kleiner's lore is deep, It's starts with one thing

The real question for me actually is: did he even ever realize it was Lamar?

"Kleiner!? He got you too huh? He's an animal." -Gordon Freeman

From fan-coined Walter Bennett to the lead vocal of In the End, the glasses guy have went through a lot in the Half-Life community.

Time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away, its so unreal Didn't look out below Watch the time go right out the window Trying to hold on, Didn't even know I wasted it all just to watch you go aight but fr though these half life lore vids are great to put on my second monitor and work and learn more about half life lore at the same time

Your channel is way too underrated, ever since watching your “rise and fall of rapture & Columbia” video I’ve been binge watching all your videos.

(It starts with one) One thing, I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme To explain in due time all I know Time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away, it's so unreal (It's so unreal) Didn't look out below Watch the time go right out the window Tryin' to hold on, didn't even know I wasted it all just to watch you go I kept everything inside And even though I tried, it all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be A memory of a time when I tried so hard I tried so hard and got so far But in the end it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end it doesn't even matter One thing, I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme To remind myself how I tried so hard In spite of the way you were mockin' me Actin' like I was part of your property Rememberin' all the times you fought with me I'm surprised it got so far Things aren't the way they were before You wouldn't even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then But it all comes back to me in the end You kept everything inside And even though I tried, it all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be A memory of a time when I tried so hard I tried so hard and got so far But in the end it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end it doesn't even matter I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There's only one thing you should know I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There's only one thing you should know I tried so hard and got so far But in the end it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end it doesn't even matter -Isaac Kleiner, 20??

Thank you for making these videos, I always loved half life and now I can understand it even better than before. I never really could grasp the full story of some of these characters, and these helped.

I might make a "behind the lore" series that explains some of the stuff that I've been working on

After seeing about 10 of your videos regarding lore on Fable and Half life, I just wanted to thank you for all the hard work and research you've done. It's kind of hard to describe but I love the format of your videos, you have really figured it out, 10/10! So thank you for giving me a chance to trip on nostalgia and learn more of my childhood games. Kind regards from Sweden

Kleiner is one of my favourite characters! Great video as always, Sky!

absolutely love these videos!! I usually listen to them as I fall asleep. I was wondering -- would you ever consider making compilations of these lore videos for specific games, and uploading them in podcast formats on platforms like Amazon music or Spotify?

Fun fact Kleiner's pet headcrap Lamar is named after Hedy Lamar a brilliant inventor and actress.

Isaac Kleiner: *Has a very deep lore and personality* Everyone: It starts with one-

Love these vids, such good production value.

this deserves way more attention. great video

Aside from the facts and the well organized chronologic events, your voice calms me.

I know gman isn't really apart of this one but I've always thought of him like a monkey paw, the recruit gets one thing for being recruited, like Gordon it was earth he saved, and for Alyx it was her father one of the biggest leaders if not the biggest leader of the resistance.

26:16 he worked so hard, and got so far but in the end, it doesn't even matter... because gordon gets all the credit

This absolutely amazing as always Skyrionn!

Haven't even watched the video yet, but I'm already hitting the like button. I know this is gonna be great just like every single other half life lore video you have!!

Love how well establised the characters are, the people who made the HL games really loved what they did 😁

This channel is GOLD. This quality content is the reason I still watch RU-vid, thank you so much

How does this only have 10k views? This is a sick video!

I am always excited to see a notification for half-life lore videos.

Always enjoy your work! Keep it up.

its a red letter day, new content from the guy I just stumbled on two days ago and have been binging since.

Kleiner is one of my favourite characters. This video was very nice, and covered a lot! Poor Lamar, though. I hope Kleiner was alright after. Finding out Eli died, and then his beloved pet. It must have been a really hard blow. :c I hope one day we see more of him in future games, if Valve ever make more HL games.

Great Video! Keep these kind of video's up!

legit Kleiner is just as much of a hero as Gordon, earth would've never had a chance without him

17:42 daaaaamn Kleiner got cake

Thank you so much. I always want to know this character!

I never even knew there was a 8.5lb anomaly, but now I know how much Lamarr weighed before singlehandedly giving humanity another chance to survive the combine invasion, thanks to this very good video!

I saw a frame including the gmod toolgun before the sponsor lel, good job though! Quite impressive that you put a lot of effort into these.

I got an idea for another Half-Life lore video: Lore behind the Dropship. Since you've done the lore behind the gunships, this would make sense.

i literally subbed to you 1 hour ago and you already uploaded again

I love your videos. they are so informative!

R.I.P Lamar, Her sacrifice slowed down the rocket by a bit so they could enjoy the view 😭😭

You missed Kleiner's speech during EP1! His entire speech to the resistance on the big monitor that played on loop.

You missed the part where he got onto a rocket and then flew across the Half-Life 2 campaign and then hit thebreencast monitor

HE TRIED SO HARD AND GOT SO FAR

I love these videos, the amount of work that was put in them is really big and I appreciate every video.

Keep up the good work!

Great work

lamar is accualy the most important character in hl2, without her half of the game would not happen.

If I see one more, “it starts with-“ I swear to god the combines warcrimes would look like an ant.

to this day I never understood the explosion prop. the one seen at 20:19 . it has barely any collision and is tough to even pickup sometimes.

isaac kleiner has to be my favourite half life 2 character, he is just so nerdy n loveable

Better than ASMR. Your videos could calm a manic episode I swear.

Will watch later. Looking forward

If I recall correctly Kleiners pet headcrab was named Hedy. Probably referring to a mid 20th century actress Hedy Lamarr.

Ah yes, Kleiner, my favorite member of Linkin Park.

my like and comment. Glad you got a sponsor

Congratulations on getting a sponsor! 👍

One of ur best series 😁

Awesome video as always Also (It starts with one)

I love your work. Keep it up.

Dr Kleiner's pet Headcrab's name "Lamar" is a reference to actress Hedy Lamarr

Virgin: *knowing Kleiner because he is an integral part of the Half-Life storyline* Chad: *knowing Kleiner from a Linkin Park GMV from 2009*

And other excellent video on the half-life leagcy for the characters lore amazing!, btw while we're on the topic of Dr Kleiner did you know that his original voice actor for the main series return again as Dr Kleiner in mod called Half-life 2 Through The City which is a Fanmade sequel to Half-life Opposing Force which you can already guess brings back Adrian Shephard and as little Bouns Colette Green. I highly recommend it since I see your big fan of OpFor this mod really feels like it can be a expansion pack to Half-life 2 Franchise, maybe you can do a small video about it.

Idk why but you have such a calming voice

"I still have nightmares about that cat" 🐈 I'm guessing the cat either arrived inside out or one half went to eli and the other half stayed in c17

Lamar full lore video

i love your videos!!

It’s hilarious that kleiner is literally less than 100 feet away from where you start the game, also is the device still in zen the one Barney set up in blue shift?

nice another half life video i came from school a couple of hours ago and a played a mix of hl2 and hla rp in gmod and after that i saw you video nice :) i like your videos a lot and will you do a video about like how the combine behave and what ther roles are in the combine ranks and also by appierence like fx ordinal has a cmd badg with a vort head inside so it maybe means that ordinals main task is to hunt vorts?

i love your lore videos

You know what, forget Shepherd. I want to see Half-Life Kleiner where we have to figure out how to escape Black Mesa as someone who can't use weapons.

Amazing video. Congrats on vpn sponsorship

thanks man

Great video! And even if the question does not fit perfectly here, I´ll try it: Is it ever explained how the Combine could conquer earth in this short amount of time? And are headcrabs and zombies part of their forces? Then there are Striders and their aircraft worms, ok. But what is missing is the infantry. Maybe some lore buff can help me out here, thanks a lot!

i feel like Lamar going into the rocket was the little guy saying "let me help stop them too" or some shit like that... regardless, his sacrifice was not in vain.

KLEINER DONT SAY IT Y- kleiner: it starts with one thing i dont know why it doesnt even matter how hard you try

this channel is underrated

I’m new here, you have reignited my love of all things valve

This channel rocks

R.I.P. Lamar, you were a real one.

the coolest and most respectable walking "🤓" ever

Lamarr is dancing with the stars now

There is Cut Another Doctor in Half Life 2 Beta But Then Doctor Added to CS: Source Hostage Mode , Office Map.

Ngl this dudes been my favorite character ever since I found out about him

Hey Skyrionn this is just a question but will you do a video essay on blue shift? like what you did with opposing force please let me know.

7:22 I was expecting for you to say "unforeseen consequences". But, hey, wait, was it really Breen who ask the cristal to be tested? Is it cannon? :O

15:06 If you go in the files of hl2 you will find out that *Something worse than death happened to that cat*

i knew the comments would have the lyrics for in the end

17:13 "Ah, Gordan! You may now call me Fat Kliner!"

YT didn't suggest these for a while - guess it's binge time!

Thumbnail just spoke to us so that we start singing "it starts with"
