#Halflife #VideoEssay #Demos - Hry
Half-Life: Day One was intended for and released to the public as it was a pack-in disc included as OEM software with particular partnered brands of video cards, sound cards, controllers, and the like. This is why the Day One disc you show at 2:29 has the ATI logo on it.
As for Half-Life: Initial Encounter's release date, the "Winter 1999" date from the OverWiki shown at 16:51 is the correct one. The "December 30, 1998" that the old Wikia/Fandom page cites is patently false as Initial Encounter includes Team Fortress Classic which was of course not released until April 7, 1999.
Hey Marphy :)
Ahhh... okay thanks for the information about the Day One disc. I didn't know that.
For Initial Encounter, I kind of thought it was 1999. I mainly thought that it may not have been 1998 because of the grey background and it seeming too early after the release of HL1. But considering TFC was released in 1999, that makes A LOT and MORE sense when you put it together.
Thank you so much Marphy! This means too much to me
Woaaah
@@ElephantsDoingCrack Issue 58 demo disc explains how to learn how to find the code to use the extras menu. You have to do something with a shark in issue 57 disc
I know...
Mad respect to Valve for not making a single one of those disgusting demos that have a stupid time limit
I think a version of the ps2 port demo has a time limit I saw it in a video I think.
It doesn't
good to know im not the only one that hates those demos
Valve = Company that makes good demos, and the company that made Steam
One Correction: The Half-Life Uplink film is technically official it was commissioned by Sierra's parent company as an ad for Half-Life
That is true. But they still didn't really approve the film when it was being created.
Also, I found another correction: on 26:20 I said March 15 was the release date, but on screen I accidentally put "March 5, 1999."
@@ElephantsDoingCrack the short film was canned after valve and Sierra saw it but it was leaked online later
a lot of effort went into this, hopefully the youtube algorithm likes it enough to recommend it to everyone :D
Great video!
AYY Thanks Richter! You keep up your good content as well.
Let’s fucking GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Edit: Watched the entirety of the video, and man, that hour went by fast, which is a good thing! Captivating watch, and I loved taking a small part in this video!
14:39
I'm guessing why the vents are there in day one because headcrabs were supposed to come out of vents
In day one they don't but the vents are still there in the demo.
Yeah that could be the reason. Valve just never getting around to it I guess
Pretty enjoyable video I must say. Not only was the theme of the video interesting, but the editing style made it more fun to watch so thank you for making this ig.
Hey thanks man, I try my best
Beside hl2 and portal demos I really enjoy the Goldsrc half-life versions, because I found some new theing to include in my project for Half-life 1 that aim to be like community update patch for the game. Thanks for making this interesting video.
I like your video man, I'll go through the rest of the content now for sure. 👍
This video is awesome! A lot of stuff i didn't know about!
I wasn’t going to comment but I laughed at the bit at 1:08:06 so great job. I really like the way you wrote and performed your script and your sense of humor is really good. I’m not really sure what you’re posting nowadays but you earned my subscription
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me
i love the way you made his video
please keep this up
You can go look at my other content, I recently made three videos within a week
i see isee
keep up the grind yo
love your work@@ElephantsDoingCrack
16:03 I think this can happen in retail just super hard to pull off because it requires you to open the door at the right moment.
49:30 the mods on the PS2 I think that was a result of the failed PS2 network and PS2 hard drive launch that failed.
like how Nintendo NES and N64 had expansion ports under the console that was never used.
the N64 had a hard drive/cd player under it to add extra feture but it was only used for 4 games in the end and only in japan.
the HL2 demo I think might be so convoluted because and this was in use in a few games (Gotic3 i think) one bit of code was changed to flag the game as a demo or retail and all the data that was missing. meaning if you somehow mange to flag the demo version of Gothic 3 as retail and then tried to leave the demo area it would let you (no invinsible wall) and then the game would promptly crash because it can´t load the data for the next bit of the game.
... nevermind HL2 demo have id 219 release date 1 December 2004.
retail HL 2 have id 220 and release date 16 November 2004.... odd that the demo have a lower id but was released later.
Yeah those are some good theories for HL2 demo and the PS2 mods. For 16:03, I haven't seen it ever happen again when playing HL1. Only happened in Day One for me, but maybe you can I wouldn't be surprised.
The algorithm only just showed this! So much work was put into putting this together and I enjoyed it immensely.
Glad to know you enjoyed it! I loved making it as while. But it did take me months to make since I had to do research, writing, editing and of course playing the demos.
I also have seen you around with your lore videos, they are pretty awesome. Me and Mauricio Jara talk very highly of you.
@@ElephantsDoingCrack keep up the great work. I'll be watching ☺
That's very kind. I'm a fan of both of you
Will do!
Next video will have a dinosaur in it 🦖
I was shocked when I clicked on this and found it only had 560 views. This video is great. Good work!
They'll probably be more views at this rate. I'm glad you enjoyed it, it means a lot and thank you
@@ElephantsDoingCrack of course! I hope your channel gets more traffic, it deserves it!
(1:12:32) I don't know, I found myself fascinated with what you showed, even at 3:45 AM I didn't think it was a waste and enjoyed the time I gave for this video. :p
Great vid! Really should get more attention!
Yes, I hope so too
great video man, I found out some stuff I didnt know lol
There's an OG Xbox demo for Half-Life 2 as well. It did appeared in the Official Xbox Magazine
Didn't I mention that in this video?
@@ElephantsDoingCrack The one I'm thinking about is the OG Xbox. iirc there's another one OXM for the X360 that by playing demos you could get points and unlock some stuff like concept arts and artworks.
You might need to send some links or something
@@ElephantsDoingCrackOh nice, YT blocked my comment
Which Half-life Demo was more interesting to you the most?
(I feel like this will be an easy answer for some people)
EDIT: I felt like Marphy should have the pin since it was a HUGE surprise to me. But, you can still comment about the demos you guys liked.
The most interesting to me is further data.
Uplink is definitely my favorite. Interesting to see Valve reuse concepts from the HL1 Beta
Uplink
@@stahpexe2475 further data is source remake of uplink
Definitely Uplink.
This is a cool video, I’m gonna subscribe :D
Thank you. I recommend watching my other videos, this one is kinda average and meh imo.
Ur underrated man. I love ur videos and think Imu should have more subs with this amazing content. Keep it up :)
You*
My spelling is amazing yes
I first experienced Half Life 1 through the Day 1 Build back in 2020.
That was only 4 years ago, but man, it feels like it's been a long time ago, so much nostalgia and memories! (I know that sounds silly, but Half Life was so fresh, it sort of gave back the imaginative first experiences i would have with video game, back when i knew absolutely nothing!)
So glad to see that menu back in the 25th anniversary update!
Damn, it is always cool to see new Half-Life fans. I have been playing it since 2003 when I was a kid
@@ElephantsDoingCrack I will also say this.
Something about the Zombies gave me a weird creepy nostalgia vibe when i was playing it.
(I swear to god, i don't remember where i first saw them, probably a gmod video as i knew about those long before half life, but when i first saw them i was like "YOU GUYS! OH NO, I REMEMBER YOU!" )
Half-Life seems to effect everyone in some way. It just has that influence on people
@@ElephantsDoingCrack Maybe Gman is actually a real person, and is making sure EVERYONE experiences half life in one way or another.
He was patiently waiting while recommending half life vids that i didn't noticed.
And prepared for the show once i experienced Unforseen consequences XD.
He's watching us!
*He's watching us!*
Quality tier content man!
THANK YOU!
ifk if anyone's mentioned Rise of the Triad but that game's shareware campaign was a fully original set of levels that didn't show up in the base game.
Damn, didn't know this
Cool video dude
Bro, you deserve more views! This video is amazing!
Thank you! I think my other content after this video is much better and I would recommend them more, but this means a lot to me.
There were a lot more unique demo scenarios for games at the time. I know Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast had a unique mission taking place in a single level. The demo for Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun consisted of 2 GDI missions separate from the full game's campaign and had tutorial prompts which I find interesting as that would predate Red Alert 2's proper boot camp campaign.
Speaking of demos, I found the multiplayer demos for games at the time to be interesting as well, usually consisting of one or a scant few maps and the ability to play on full-game servers if they ran the same maps such as Tribes 2 and Vengeance, Battlefield 2 (Gulf of Oman in 16p and 32p sizes) and 2142 (Sidi Power Plant in Conquest and Titan modes), Command & Conquer: Renegade (with cnc_under).
Tribes 2 is the most interesting, there were only assets for the desert and grassland maps, Blood Eagle and Star Wolf teams and the default Hero voice but you could connect to servers hosting any map because the Torque engine's way of loading maps let you easily do that. You could even get access to the mobile base and transport vehicles that are normally unavailable in the demo "Slapdash" map.
Interesting. A lot of Command & Conquer, I used to love strategy games (still do). One you could add to this list of demos adding a mission is from Gunman Chronicles. That demo had some new levels in it. But thank you for your input!
Warcraft3 Thralls campaign after the tutorial bit (the tutorial campaign end whit you steeling some boats and sailing of towards calimdore) in retail it end after the steeling boats mission.
on the demo you spend a few mission on some random island shipwrecked or something (recruiting some trolls).
yes on some later printed Retail disk that campaign was re added under the extra campaign portion.
Starcraft’s demo was its own campaign with new voice acting.
I learned a lot. Very cool.
Great Video! The visualisations of your talking points are great, and the whole Video, pretty detailed. Only thing that annoyed me personally (maybe enhanced by the lack of sleep rn), is the loudness in your voice sometimes, even if used for the comedic effect.
Noted
Wait? 300 subs? Dudeeee you deserve waaaay more..holy shit this video was awesome
Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully there will be more videos like this... maybe cooling it on the length but hopefully more
now this' what I call quality content
THX!!!
underrated video
Adorable Accent, I love your video
I've been getting nice comments about my voice : )
52:44 - This was over 20 years ago, but I remember as if it was yesterday that this is how I made that jump originally, because I was failing the same way you did in the original.
At the point of the hl25 update uplink and most of further data are now included in the steam version of half-life
Holy crap, go build a time machine and tell my past self this!
@@ElephantsDoingCrack pretty sure valve are making that time machine already
I had the Day One demo. I bought Half-Life Platinum right after beating it.
good stuff
Great video!!!!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! I hope to make more videos like this in the future
Wait a second,HL2 Demo only contains Point Insertion and Ravenholm Chapters
but HL2 Classic Demo has Point Insertion and Ravenholm Demake Chapters,VALVE JUST BEGIN TO PREDICT US ABOUT HL2 CLASSIC!?
what?
51:13 I have the PS2 Half-Life and the Demo disc with Uplink that I got with my Mag in the mail that year and yes it is awesome to swap disc!
Yo that is so cool!
51:56 BTW if you had the manual for the PS2 game you know that could play Half-Life with a mouse and keyboard using a USB port on the PS2 console.
@@atariboy9084 well yeah, I know about that, but I just didn't do it. I know for the Dreamcast it was like that as well, it was only for the Dreamcast keyboard and mouse that Sega sold.
HOWS THIS THING ONLY GOT LIKE 1K VIEWSS¡? and you only having like 500 subs despite the great quality of the video and effort put into it. guess imma go get myself those further data maps you mentioned for hl1 now
Yeah that's how YT can be sometimes, I'm flattered by the compliments. It's awesome I inspired you to want to get those Further Data discs. Hope you have a great day man!
Alright this is the first video I watch from your channel and I wanna say this: you are that guy who wrote the "Missing in λction" fanfiction, right? Dude, your story is amazing! You did a great job!
WOAH! That is crazy how you know about that. You know something most people probably don't know about myself. I was planning on posting more chapters in the next year of 2022. Glad you enjoy it though, fill free to look around the channel!
That's nice! And yeah, I've been reading fanfictions for some time and I found this and it was great :D
If I'm not mistaken, the grunts in Day One have only two heads, the gasmask and beret
I didn't really noticed, probably though.
Does anyone have any idea how to get the security door to open at the beginning of We've Got Hostiles? I've tried the old scientist E spamming technique and it doesn't work because the scientist completely ignores the player (and is apparently invincible)
Also, what console commands that actually works in Day One? I've done the instructions on how to bind console commands to keys in the pak0.pak file that was seen on the Combine Overwiki. But apparently, commands such as "sv_cheats" and "noclip" do not work at all in this build
Wrong place to ask these questions man. You might want to go on Reddit or something.
@@ElephantsDoingCrack Unfortunately, I already found a way to get into the silo control room by grenade jumping on to the vents in the SMG Room. So consider this question of mine obsolete
Oh alright
@@ElephantsDoingCrack Yeah, though it should be noted that you could force open the console by using a hex editor. Likewise, commands like "sv_cheats" don't work
@@ElephantsDoingCrack On another note, this video is underrated. I'm surprised it didn't have 20K views on it
may the algorithm bless you
I hope so too!
That’s interesting. Haven’t played any of the demos.
I seriously need to play Uplink. I love how dark it is (reminds me of the Half Life 2 beta. Which would have been a much better sequel in terms of tone, Xen organisms have become part of earth’s ecosystems, actually having enemy variety, and it actually feels like the Combine took over instead of just being there). That is interesting how the zombies grew smarter throughout the demo (imagine if when you went to Ravenholm the traps were built to ensnare you, and the zombies were trying to flank you. Makes me think of that They Hunger mod I’ve never played). I like how it shows just how devastating the conflict was for all sides. There’s this mod called Signal Lost that expands on Uplink by reimagining cut content to stretch things out. It looks cool.
If they were to ever make a Half Life movie the only voice acceptable for Gordon would be Ross Scott. Imagine just how amazing it would be if Valve made Freeman’s Mind canon. I’d probably watch a film version of that.
Why is Randy so hated? Admittedly I’m out of the loop. Was there some sort of discrimination/harassment behind the scenes? Gearbox deserves all the flak they got for Colonial Marines (at least we got Borderlands out of that dumpster fire. Borderlands is a really good game). As well as Duke Nukem Forever, but that was mostly just George (no idea how to spell his last name) being an idiot who kept changing engines and adding stuff that doesn’t work with Duke Nukem. All Gearbox did was publish it (they seriously should have had quality control look it over first).
I’m personally not a fan of the whole Portal/Half Life shared universe thing. The reason is because the two have radically different tones, and it raises questions of how the Combine never found Aperture.
54:37 makes me think of that funny video where Guptill89’s video ranting about how Ray William Johnson made a dumb song called doing your mom (this is coming from the same guy who made that cringy Top 10 Hottest Sonic Characters video. I LOVE that stupid video SO MUCH!😂).
Good video.
Yeah definitionly play Uplink, it is a short but wild ride. They Hunger was actually my second mod I ever played. The zombies in that mod are way more smart than in here since some of them carry around guns... Yeah picture that. As for Signal Lost, I did play it and LOVED IT! It was so much fun.
Ross Scott would be awesome for a movie. Speaking of Ross Scott, a little fun fact about this video is that I actually emailed him before releasing the video.I wanted to get his permission to use this Freeman's Mind reference in 22:34 and he said that it was okay to use. If you want to see the reference for yourself, here is the Freeman's Mind episode and the timestamp: czcams.com/video/gqaCVufn7FU/video.html
As for Randy Pitchford, the guy is not a good person. He had child pornagraphy on a USB flash drive that he left at a Medieval Times, he kept a lot of the money Borderlands 3 made for himself and told his employees if they didn't like that they didn't get paid then leave (in 2020 when a pandemic was happening), and every game Gearbox touchs turns to shit. Randy Pitchford is a pretty shitty guy and has lied a lot of times. He is just a joke in the gaming industry.
Funny you mention the Portal and Half-life shared universe... all I will say is stay tuned 👀
Lol yeah. Fun fact about Tigers Fistting your Mom is that it was going to be my name. It was one of the names I almost used as my universal username. But then I came up with Elephants Doing Crack and here we are today : )
I am glad you enjoyed the video! Also, I don't know how I am just now notcing these comments, I didn't see them.
I will be sure to check it out sometime. Addmitely I haven’t played They Hunger. I just wanted a bunch of videos on it. It’s an interesting take on zombies because they still have their minds, they’re just controlled by an animalistic desire to consume. I should probably try it just to experience one of the oldest Half Life mods. It’s insane how that came out the same year Half Life was released. I’ll definitely have to check out Signal Lost. It will be really interesting to see how the mod author reimagines the other cut chapters/content. It’s interesting how when you look at the cut content for Half Life 1 you can see a noticeable leap in graphics and animations.
Freeman’s Mind was hilarious. I like how it shows him slowly become completely insane, and how he mentioned that Alyx is most likely emotionally stunted due to trauma (that would actually explain a lot). I really hope that the Half Life/Portal movies stay in development hell. Knowing what JJ Abrams did with Star Wars and Star Trek this can only end up terrible. If only the Halo show never got released. It’s amazing just how terrible it is. I’m so happy that I never got Paramount Plus. They seriously should have just made a mini series that juggles the events of CE, The Flood book (no Eliza toon of CE that has a few really good side stories. The parts adapting CE weren’t very good, but the side stories were truly phenomenal), and Fireteam Raven (yes, that arcade game nobody played. Halo Canon and Xperia have some videos talking about the backstory for the different characters). In terms of tone it would be a gritty war story with over the top action for Chief. This would keep things grounded, while showing that Spartans are super soldiers capable of stuff that no normal humans can do. Plus, this would allow them to show off the different perspectives of the characters involved. Unfortunately the people working on the show wanted to do their own terrible thing. I really hope it doesn’t get a second season.
Wow. I knew the guy was scummy. But, I wasn’t aware that he’s a freak (sounds like he’d get along very well with the likes of Vaush and WingsofRedemption). I think I heard that he’s gone. Hopefully Gearbox will be able to make something good. For a while I was thinking that Microsoft’s original plan to have Gearbox take over Halo would have been better than 343 because Boarderlands and the Half Life expansions were really good. Now I realize that would have been terrible. Still, it would be really interesting to see what that would be like.
That will definitely be interesting to see. Fairly recently I saw this thing saying that the original ending from Portal was supposed to leave you in Xen implying that Aperture was either in Xen, or that the explosion sent you to Xen. Either way that’s interesting. It also said that Portal 2 retconned some of the stuff from the first game because originally Glados was just an ai, and it was implied that Chell could have been a clone. I really think they should have just kept it as it’s own thing.
That would have been so funny if you went with that name.
Again, there’s no need to apologize for being late to respond to comments because I’m guilty of that exact thing myself.
Oh that Portal video you mentioned was by my good friend Richter Overtime, I thought that was an interesting video. Working hard on my newest videos and hope to get them out as soon as possible.
I’m sure that they’ll be good since the previous ones were. Good luck.
DAMN 1 HOUR DUDE
Worth it
What he said ^
Fun fact half life on PS2 has keyboard and mouse support. No idea if the demo has the same capabilities but you certainly could have saved some anguish on Uplink. Oh well too late now.
Yeah I know. But I was just too lazy to do it. The Dreamcast port also had that feature, but it was only for a Sega issued Keyboard and Mouse for the Dreamcast. The Uplink Demo most likely works with it
Fun fact: You can play as a Vortigaunt in Uplink on the ps2. Cheat codes are shared between Half Life ps2 and Uplink ps2, so ypu just need to activate Alien mode & then start a playthrough of Uplink.
Yeah I know. I was actually just doing that recently believe it or not
@@ElephantsDoingCrack Nice. Also, somebody ported Blue Shift to the PS2. You just need to download it off of ModDB, burn the files onto a disc, open Half-Life PS2 extras menu, and put in the disc. And guess what the modder also added, alien mode.
Ok the last part I didn't know. That is cool
@@ElephantsDoingCrack 👍
what version of Mall of the Dead is used here?
6:52
From what I remember, there was a mall of the dead music track from Blood 2 and someone posted it on CZcams. However, the video as far as I know is gone. I think the guy deleted the video or something. I can't find it anywhere. Really sorry man 😔
@@ElephantsDoingCrack it's ok!
having a round in the chamber was in the 1.0.0.0 version of half life WON
Interesting.
33:40 For some reason, i want to know what music this is.
I don't remember, this video was made in 2021 and I wasn't as organized as I am now. Sad to say
Based on some (VERY SUBTLE) thoughts about retail HL2, I can see I’m not the only one who doesn’t really like the retail game and likes the beta more. (Even if I’m fine with what we got in the end.
my dad actually owns the day one build, he has the cd copy of it somewhere in his house. but currently im using the retail version
You don't say? Damn that is interesting
@@ElephantsDoingCrack for some reason the demo would just, fail to load on my old pc, i dont know why, but it kept happening.
Maybe because it was an old build the game or something. Maybe newer hardware if it was? Not sure about that one. I do remember having some trouble trying to install it and getting luck.
@@ElephantsDoingCrack for some reason it didnt work on my old pc and then for some reason it works on the new low quality laptop im using...... which ran out of space in 2 days
Are you planning on adding captions to the vid. I'm not deaf but I think for people who are deaf, that captions for this vid would be cool
I thought of adding Captions in some of my videos, but one day I will try when I find the time. But yeah, I am not against that. 👍
Could you do the same thing but for the halo demos?
I don't really think that would be an interesting topic for a video since there isn't much to discuss (at least in my opinion). Currently, I am doing other video ideas at the moment. But speaking of Halo, I did make a Halo CE review on the channel not too long ago if you haven't seen it.
half life: uplink was made as a demo to show off what you would get when you would buy the full version of half life, and i think it's also really cool it takes place completly at night. you never saw that in the original half life.
also: i think uplink IS canon. halfway through the game in apprehension gordon gets knocked out, so maybe in the time he's knocked out he dreams about getting to the lambda complex, this also makes sense beacuse you see enemies that you have only encountered so far; no alien grunts, no alien controllers, no snarks. you also receive weapons that you have only got so far. when the screen fades to black gordon wakes up.
you should also mention the fact uplink got added to base half life in the 25TH anniversary update!!!
Bro there was a night time area of the game. On a rail 💀
@@ElephantsDoingCrack you go here for like 5 seconds
@@ElephantsDoingCrack i forgor about it 💀
There are so many gold source half life games!
Cant you enable the developer console just by adding it to the shortcut settings?
If you are talking about Day One... then no. This was 2 years ago, I remember reading something about the developer console and it seemed like a lot of work. Plus HL WON is a bitch for me nowadays
I assumed half life day one would have it because quake has it the exact same way, if you make a shortcut of half life, and then in the shortcut directory settings if you add -console at the end it will enable it in game
It is in Day One, I just don't know how to get it working or really bother with it
Love your voice.
Oh boy... thank you!
half-life day one has may bugs due to tech getting better
I got this bundled with , if not mistaken , either my gpu Asus Riva TNT 2 Ultra or the Creative Sound Blaster Live.....i was only 12/13 at that time....men i suck at this game...too advance....I just stuck very early in the game lol
Oh like at the early parts of Half-life? Oh I can't imagine. I still, somewhat, remember my first time playing Half-life 2's demo and how it fucking scared me. I had played Half-life 1 and didn't expect it.
@@ElephantsDoingCrack i didn't know what's the hype for half life game all about at that time....but now i know, because the level design, which i think one of the early games that doesn't hand holding you in terms of the objectives, there's no indicator or maps for reference, which very common attributes for fps games even to this day...cheers!
The reason why half life day one has glitches is because half life day one's opengl is really broken. Try software mode and it will fix it.
I did try Software mode and it would send me back to the desktop while the game was still happening in the background. That is why I used OpenGL because I could actually play and see the game. I am sure Software Mode is an improvement, but I just couldn't play it.
@@ElephantsDoingCrack Oh, did you try windowed mode?
@@pantudgab No I didn't. Maybe I will give that a try one day
Excuse me! I'm in need of medical attention!
the reason why half-life day one is so buggy is because the opengl renderer does not work properly on modern hardware. if you were able to use software mode rendering it would've worked properly
also, the 2 half-life alyx environments are free in the steamvr home
I have gotten this comment a lot already and the video is almost two years old with some details blurry.
Software mode refused to work for me and Opengl was the only one that would let me see the game.
the vent near the smg is support to be a headcrab jump out of it but its was scrapped but the vent still there in day one and the end_demo trigger box can be skipped by jump in the vent a.k.a playing the danger ways but the vent ia blocked so the only way to go thru' it is noclip but you still doesnt have blast pit bc its doesnt exist in day one yet and day one and uplink is playable on browser so you are waste your time by waiting and gordon look like half ghost bc theres still doesnt having his player model so his model was re use from gina model so he hand some time look like gina hologram hand and this coment has been run through 6 edit ☠️💀☠️💀☠️💀
Oh well, the video is 2 years old
i downloaded torrent hl2 update and it work now too but i cant download all maps without d1 trainstaincion 1 and 2 without mmod. in mmod all work well. Then i redirected to hl2 in store. now i have hl2 in steam and i can share torrent but its update and its russian langlage.
Ok?
Portal the first slice has one difference the portal texture is different
No that is actually an issue with my copy of Portal 1. It's a common problem some people have and one Valve didn't fix. I recently found out the solution by switching from Directx 8 to Directx 9 in the settings. So that is a my bad. Whoops
tiny mistake youve made during the day one part, the power up title in day one is actually "footfall" not "football" (as funny as it sounds)
Damn you are right. Oh well, this video is almost two years old anyways. It is what it is. Surprised nobody didn't say anything sooner.
@@ElephantsDoingCrack true, video was pretty enjoyable (also the way for playing uplink in PS2 half life sounds simliar to one of those rumors from back in the day where youd get luigi in super mario 64 by doing random stuff)
Yeah... Me and my brother were one of those suckers for Mario 64. Good times.
tbh, uplink could replace on a rail and it would be 100 times better
I really like On a Rail though : (
@@ElephantsDoingCrack replace xen then?
Another hot take: I enjoy Xen... but yeah sure replace it with Xen that is fine by me.
@@ElephantsDoingCrack So what chapter do you not like?
@@eletronictoenails Residue Processing is my least favorite chapter. Though it is short so that is a pro for me. Interloper was better.
Can some one port they hunger to the PS2?
Yeah I can't help you with that. Would be cool though I guess
By the way. Very good video 👍🏻
is this bill murray
Yes
i tought you meant like demos that you can record
What? What do you mean?
idk the demos that you can record ingame i think it was only in source@@ElephantsDoingCrack
Ok
U dont having right obs with half life day one
What do you mean?
@@ElephantsDoingCrack Or maybe Obs idk
Haha "anonymous materials"
48:30 No. You did it for you.
?????
@@ElephantsDoingCrackIt’s alright man. No need to he ashamed. I bought one too. Something about how hidden it is it’s like a nook within a cranny. Love and respect 🫡 and great video
@@TheFloodFourm ummm... strange place to comment, but thank you!
Why the fuck did valve used the name of football
Ok so this is actually a mistake I made. It wasn't football, it was actually "footfall." Someone in the comments corrected me of that. So umm... whoops.
@Elephants Doing Crack ether way way the fuck did valve used those names for half life early in dev
@@ns3421thelocomotive idk
@@ElephantsDoingCrack any theory on why
@@ns3421thelocomotive maybe Placeholder names for the time being
This is the worst video I never finished.
Have you seen the ASMR videos?
No one asked
football :)
nice video but bro, why you explaining what a Demo is lol, just get to the content
I did it to give viewers who would be confused by the title some context. No one's really made a video about Half-Life demos so I thought I should do that. I didn't want to hear "where is the Half-life 2 E3 tech Demo?!" So yeah that is why
@@ElephantsDoingCrack fair, i was more referring to you explaining how Demos are "for free you can play a short game session with minimal content as a small taste of that the product has to offer" haha, i thought that bit was a tad silly as we all know that already...
also looking back at this comment i was kinda pissy so sorry for that, didn't mean to come off as a bitch or something.
No worries. It happens to the best of us
Why are you screaming all the time?
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
man your audio s....z
Ummm.... What? I'm guessing you didn't like the audio which is fair enough imo. This is a 2 year old video.
Like your Transformers pfp and name though. One of these days I will make a video about Transformers
