Why Everyone Hates Half-Life: Source 

Today's the 25th anniversary of Half-Life 1 and Valve has now officially de-listed Half-Life: Source from Steam

For as careful as Ross was when making Freeman’s Mind, I still remember a bug where a security guard's body fell through a grate in a hall. He played it off but I forgot how.

i hope the game isn't ever fixed I love seeing all the strange bugs as the game decays over time

There was a specific point in time, circa 2006, where Half-Life GoldSRC was barely compatible with most newline GPU's, due to it's dependencies on old obsolete drivers, and Half-Life: Source was the main way to play. What a lot of people don't realize, that the reason HL1 runs so well nowadays, is because Valve actually went back, and kept updating it.

I love how for some random reason, the viewmodel for the pistol gives Gordon these red triangles on his fingers instead of orange. I'm guessing Valve did a lil' dumdum and accidentally used like an early viewmodel texture on the hands, since in some pre-release screenshots, you can see the suit was originally red.

The HD models being lifted from a GameBanana mod is the real icing on the cake.

yk half life source was the first half life game i played

I was the one who caused the HD pack. So glad to know it's my permanent legacy for the Half-Life franchise.

I actually was disappointed with the fact that Blue Shift and Opposing Force didn't have their own Source versions, simply because I wanted to play them in Gmod.

The Source: fixed mod does a great job at fixing it and it's really an amazing way to play the game

MAD respect for the Gman Squad shoutout. It's one of my favorite forgotten early internet relics and I adore it in its own way to this day.

I love how as soon as you mentioned Gman Squad, my mind instantly went to the scene with the trip mines, and just as I was about to write a comment about it I got to the end where you included a clip of that exact scene.

When I was a kid, we had a computer that wasn't just bad, it was uniquely bad. It could technically run Half-Life and Half-Life 2, but the former would inexplicably crash during loading sessions (except Opposing Force because that game loaded its levels differently). So I was hoping Half-Life: Source would be a technical remake of Half-Life on the Source Engine, much like what we have with Black Mesa today. When I played Half-Life: Source at a LAN Party service, I got this. I was expecting so much more (but at least you could load at the start of each chapter without using the console commands). Later I would discover that swinging the crowbar during the loading sessions would guarantee the game wouldn't crash.

Someone else remembers the Gman Squad! I remember watching that as a kid, maybe no older than 10, and loving it.

Appreciate the video, and greatly appreciate the nod to Cortex Command at
