The scene where Coomer was floating in the void with the skeleton was really fucking cool, makes me think how Benrey and his skeleton army were already aware of them being in a videogame and Coomer was just hit with that realization. Awesome stuff!
that would explain why the skele-bros, and benrey are trying to kill him every chance they get, because they were all aware of them being in a game from the very beginning, ever since he stopped gordon for his passport, he knew all along, and that would also explain coomer trying to kill him, because as soon as he figured out he was in a game, he needed to escape.
that could also explain the "a world in your dreams", dr coomer knew that he was in a video game, but he realized that gordon was the main character, and he was trying to escape to the real world
@@JudeOhHecc even worse. Nothing is where your coworker Gordon can't see. If you leave his line of sight, do you simply stop existing? Where were you before he saw you this morning?
Honestly, I'm still questioning myself about that. But I just tried to keep natural movements, and I moved their mouths up and down not based on how they're talking, but the volume of their voices, so it resembles classic half life.
I enjoy that the whole bit of Dr. Coomer is that he's essentially an NPC that broke out of its usual scripting and slowly becomes sentient, and in this moment realizes it's merely a digital character and thus grows fully aware
This is fucking brilliant, the combination of what looks like the actual scientist idle pose(s) and subtle, detailed addons like Coomer looking down, just, [italian chef sucking fingers] muah.
Bro such a nihilistic moment. Giving up cuz there's "nothing there" and followed up with an empty question of "what do we do..." knowing theres nothing you can do. Lmao i miss this series
I imported half life source assets into sfm. There are guides for that. You need to recompile the maps in sfm's hammer. The maps will most likely have missing textures in hammer, but it will look fine in sfm when opened
“I’ve seen outside Black Mesa, Gordon. There’s NOTHING! But I know…. you! There’s a world outside here, Gordon. And I need you to take me there!” Dr. Harold Pontiff Coomer, PhD (yes, that is his full name according to Holly) immediately following the defeat of the Coomer Clones (2020)
this is amazing, Coomer looking down on the hl map portays what Holly put into that phrase perfectly, the genuine terror of the source/gldsrc out-of-bounds, incredibly well done mate
i cant believe im just seeing this now! i love this so much, it dances the line between drama and comedy just as well as the source material. i love how expressive you managed to get these models. i love the short first person cut, too.
Hobestly? Id react the same if i was just messing around and suddnely realized the whole placei kived in was.. just a videogame map, and everything outside wa sjust an empty void
Not even silent hill scared me as much as this singular fucking moment did. I genuinely got goosebumps when I first watched the HLVRAI playlist cuz it came so out of left field. The implications of it all, literally the lore behind HLVRAI is so fucking cool, like what happens to Coomer, Bubby and the rest once the series ends, like for good. Does Benrey know? Did they have lives before? That's why I fucking go nuts over the fanfics exploring the concept of what ifs and what was before Gordon's character got loaded in. Literally could go on and on about it for hours
I like how benry is always talking about PlayStation plus because its funny but think of the implications, hes an NPC, inside a game, taking the role of the outside player, who downloads and plays games. The other AI are self aware at most, with knowledge that they're in a game, but benry? He's a higher being.
