A big thank you to Googly Gareth (ru-vid.com) for the SFM animation during this video. Please go check him out if you like Half-Life related shit posts. This is the beginning of a series of 7 videos that will be released regularly over the next two weeks. This is a pretty big departure from my usual upload schedule but I hope you all enjoy.
Gordon also the one making all the beeps of the equipment, so, considering how high pitched some of those sounds are, he speaks just as fast. Also, 69th like, nice
I remember when poke646 came out, I seen it in PC gamer magazine back in the day. it was a a very well made hl mod that I still think about from time to time.
No need to feel sorry for the Xen Squasher, I'm sure that little thing is having the time of its life. Seeing the world, as much candy as it can regurgitate and a nice warm hand up its forbidden tunnel.
@@theguylivinginyourwalls I mean, it's a pretty simple story, Xen portals start appearing all over the place and you end up relying on some scientist dude to help you. I mainly just don't remember the setting stuff, which I remember being more interesting.
exploding as a defence mechanism makes sense on a species wide level, like how some frogs are poisonous it doesn't stop the individual from getting hunted but predators will quickly learn to leave alone
If it weren't for the utterly sadistic level design I'd agree with you. This mod probably has the best looking environments I've ever seen in a GoldSrc game.
Wow, what a blast from the past! Poke 646 must have been my favorite Half-Life mod back when it first came out, and I'm still gonna call it my favorite to this day.
Honestly the Squisher is really cute as a weapon idea. It's just a critter you feed and it protects you with acid, probly has its own pouch for it too. There needs to be an idle animation where you pet it.
I swear I played this mod about 800 million years ago but I honestly remember nothing about it, just the name. Todesangst 1 and 2 was also being pretty good.
tbh this hazard course is probably the most logical one in the series given that Poke 646 is suppose to be a kinda XCOM style alien threat response force so understanding how a gun and bomb work make way more sense here.
poke646 is one of the highest quality hl1 mods I have ever played, but it brought me such an immense sense of anger at every turn and I will never play it again
