Seriously if you're a Half-Life fan and you've got a couple of hours to spare I really do recommend this mod. Without a doubt the best single player Half-Life mod I've played.
Hey, Jolly if you haven't already, I HIGHLY recommend checking out Minerva Metastatis for Half Life 2. It's a seriously high quality mod that you won't be disappointed with.
I got the 300th like spot. Hmm why don’t I feel like I can brag and that I’m just the same? My scientific research shows being the 300th like doesn’t make you a god.
I am so happy you enjoyed my mod - I got a good many laughs from this video. And I am glad you found my very childish sense of humour funny. Merry Christmas you filthy animal!
No problem! I mean it when I say it's the best half life mod I've played. I hope this video gains you at least a bit more "exposure" and you get top spot in the Moddb awards.
You blended lore with detailed realism, yet added a layer of horror that was not seen within the original Half-Life. I was absolutely shitting myself the entire time. Amazing!
4:42 at that point I was sold -this mod seems like 10/10 material. When the modder knows how to insert a joke and even then sell the mod as "serious", you know you're dealing with someone who ought to be paid for his work.
@@brassgears7953 Actually I'm pretty sure it's the Doctor Rosenberg model by the looks of it, his hair is short, grey, and he has a (Sort of) Shaved beard.
Fun fact: the animation of the janitor sitting down on the ground and shaking his head looks like it's taken from the German version of the game, where scientists would sit down in exactly that pose and shake their head when the player killed them. You know, instead of actually dying. Because apparently the censors thought killing your own co-workers is a no-no, so you can't kill them, only make them shake their heads at your shenanigans.
Yes, as a German I am very happy the attitude towards PC game censorship changed. But in retrospect it's absolutely hilarious to look at the censored versions of these old games
German here. As a matter of fact, Half Life was one of the games that enhanced my english skills. Because 11 years old me had the english version of the game, thanks to my uncle. Only played the "good" version a few years later when i bought the Half Life Collection V3 in store.
@@gabopr1365 welp , BM was full of resources and had a bunch o labs around the world . Meanwhile Aperture got bankrupt lost most of profit , they had to take homeless people and it was all around 1970-1980s . Then the owner died ,when BM could also steal lotta of stuff from Aperture as there were now no people who could sue em . Sad thing tho.
You know I didn't believe you until I looked it up. Mr. Friendly was meant to be able to rape the player to death. The only reason they didn't implement it was technical limitations.
And i think the idea came from a small boy that liked to draw, who was related to some developer, i dont know the details but i watched a video about it few days back.
This mod is fucking amazing, hands down the single best Half Life mod I've ever seen, with the most creative use of scripting and AI and a good mix of sheer terror and comedy. Godamn it makes you mad that Valve just up and abandoned Half Life when clearly so many people still enjoy and want to see more of the setting and what can be done with it that they went and made something like this which feels and looks so professionally made it could be a godamn expansion pack to the original game. I really like the idea they went with, the player as someone who is just witness to the resonance cascade this time, and getting to see what that was like the moment shit happened, really fun mod
I remember that one time I was playing half life, and in the scene where the elevator falls with the scientists in it, one of them said, while falling, "Do you know who ate all of the donuts?"
My uncle was a janitor in Black Mesa and let me tell you, he HATED his job. The staff were all jerks, he was ordered to clean up literal ponds of radioactive waste with nothing but a mop and was generally treated just like he's currently treated in our family.
My Uncle was also a janitor In Black Mesa He was forced to stand on near a toilet door for hours and forced to clean up all the radioactive mess in the facility he hated his job alot
@@Superschokokeks well, the proper procedure is to hide the radioactive material underneath a proper cover after you broom it, like a carpet for instance
5:10 The time is 8:57AM. Which makes it ten minutes after the very start of Half-Life, meaning Gordon is seconds away from the resonance cascade. But you'd have to play Half-Life a bunch to remember that the game starts with the tram telling you its 8:47AM.
12:30 Guess what that "elephant" you encountered earlier does to it's victims...? It's actually cut content, and was originally referred to, quite ironically, as "Mr. Friendly".
@@Mi_Fa_Volare Scientist 01:Do you smell something burning? Scientist 02:Nooooo? Scientist 01:Do you know who ate all the donuts? Scientist 02:You can't be serious...
I'm fairly certain that the bullsquid was doing EXACTLY what you thought it was to the guard. Some supplementary material regarding bullsquids says that they will eat or attempt to mate with anything they see. We never saw it attempt to do the latter in the main games but it sounds like they're doing exactly that here. Why the modder decided to show us something we'd all be better off not seeing is beyond me but there is indeed canon basis for it.
@@Garangus can't remember where, but from what I remember one of the designers son/his friend's son liked to draw and while the kid was in college the designer saw his drawings and they were fucked up, Mr friendly was one of these drawings I think. I might be wrong though as I can't remember too well plus I'm also really high right now so maybe I'm not a very coherent sauce atm.
This mod is honestly on-par with Blue Shift and Opposing Force, I would have bought it as an actual expansion to support the devs if it had been possible.
5:39 Jolly: I think I'm just going to jump out the window. *tries jumping through solid glass* Jolly: Nope, apparently not. Apparently my fat ass can't fit through the window.
Thank you for your quality subtitles, it's very helpful to understand you for people who don't know english very well (like me). Please do not stop do this :)
Considering how this doesn't even seem to conflict with the original story at all, you can consider this mod as canon and it won't even be a problem for anyone except the down mad purists. Amazing.
There needs to be some mods with the Race X aliens in it (the ones in Opposing Force). Those ones are pretty cool. I'd just like to think of them facing off against a Gargantua.
Fun fact: the “elephant” is actually called Mr.Friendly! He was from the Half Life beta and is available to spawn in the garrys mod addon “Half Life resurgence”
this video made me play through Echoes. thank you. the Mod is absolutely amazing and even blows the other official Half life Expansions out of the water. it is superb. Humor and suspense, even terror. clever and shows that even this venerable engine can do.

God damn, I started the year by discovering your channel and watching a lot of your videos, it's amazingly funny watching you lose your mind over funny mods (?
