I adore the implication that Ron showed up at the Citadel in his regular clothes and then changed into a suit specifically just to punch Breen in the face
It was a special occasion, because (presumably) Breen had NEVER been punched in the face before that.
Personally, I like the implication that Ron worked at Black Mesa.
@@Anastas1786 That would be completely hilarious.
@@Anastas1786 Hating that government even exists and that taxes exist and pays his salary is even funnier if he worked at a billion (trillion?) $ secret psuedo-military government lab... :D
The man's a professional.
The less I know about other people’s affairs, the happier I am. I’m not interested in caring about people. I once met a scientist who doesn't talk. Best friend I ever had. We still never talk sometimes
I can imagine how proud Ron would be knowing Gordon practically destroyed Black Mesa
This is GOLD！！！
@@Cross177 He'd probably be impressed.
I wish i had more than updoots to give you.
@@simplegarak stinky redditor
0:21 - 0:29 I love how genuine the dialogue exchange is.
1:35 "He looks like he could use as swift punch in the face thought" XD
Alyx reaction is spot on XD
I love that he delivers said swift punch @1:36 👏
this video doesn't just have great VFX, it has a plot too lol
*Indeed*
I loved the stare and when he got away with Alyx 0:51 - 0:53 :chefskiss:
I love how delighted Alyx is by Ron punching Breen in the face. She'd been waiting for it ever since that offhand remark back at the resistance hideout.
Continuity, nice.
Ron Swanson is a video game protagonist who knows he's too powerful to go into any videogame world.
If Ron Swanson was a video game hero, he wouldn't be stripped of his powers at the beginning. He'd simply choose not to use them yet.
The right man in the wrong place
Swanson is a fictional character portrayed by Nick Offerman in Parks and Recreation, a situational comedy television series. The character was created by Michael Schur and Greg Daniels with inspiration from a real-life Libertarian elected official
@@Tikkanier Are you a bot?
@@HereticHydra in Russia we are not familiar with ron
This is great but there's something extra cozy seeing Ron in the Episode Two environments.
I agree. It felt suprisingly.. comfy
Yeah, he looks so submissive and breedable in there.
@@MamadNobari D:
@@MamadNobariwhat
@@MamadNobari excuse me what the fart
I like the idea that Ron brought his own table onto that subway car into City 17. Like he absolutely just had to have one
What do you mean brought? He MADE it on the ride!
@@Takenmynameandmycat There's no catering on those trains, but they have plenty of broken pallets. Nothing else for a man to do.
Good table.
"OH NO! My table!"
And he just puts it on the seat lmao
0:26 Alyx's look back at Ron is priceless
So Good :D
with the facial expressions of alyx and all
Edit : I realize I commented on the wrong place. I'll just leave it there as a reminder of my impulsivness.
I wouldn't have noticed if not for you. Ty
The rotoscoping, cropping, lighting and angles are world class 11/10. Insane.
By now, we wouldn't expect anything less from eli.
True. Just want to point it out.
I have no idea what you said, but I agree!
why there is no CZcams button "recommend to all"
Eli just gets better and better. You can see the love and work poured into these videos.
It's a travesty that you didn't have him toss the civilian's TV out the window in Red Letter Day.
I have never played Half Life 2. I have never seen Parks & Rec.
This is phenomenal.
Same.
I recommend you play/watch them. Both still amazing
you're missing out! parks and recs is a funny feel-good show, and Half-life needs no explaining, just go buy it and play it now I'm sure it's like $10 or cheaper it's always on sale!
dude its a must play
Cool, got anything else to add?
0:42 to 0:53 is actually genius.
You made it meta while breaking the 4th wall.
Especially meta because he finally used the channel's titular sound file in a video.
glad someone else noticed it, made me make the same sound myself
This is just phenomenal and love how all the stuff ron says really fits the situation
Eli blows me away every time
Man… your stuff is _always_ good, but the narrative progression and flow of this one is in just a league of its own!
Ron punching Breen made my entire year.
I like how he didn't fail to get his "he could use a swift punch on his face" line paying off!
i love how you edit the camera movement to be like that of a parks and recs episode
Alex's facial reaction to Ron saying he'll punch Breen FITS SO WELL!!!
1:36 Now that was god-tier.
Ron Swanson visiting Lagavulin and smiling is one of my favorite moments in all TV history. Him sitting on the bluff in Islay writing still brings a tear to my eye.
I want a mod that makes Gordon say Ron's dialogue now. That would be amazing!
I wish there was some follower mod for Fallout or Skyrim that had an invincible Ron (or another character) just constantly commenting or providing random words of wisdom.
Or maybe if Gordon was given a voice, it could be Nick Offerman's...?
Possible too, with AI. It's only a matter of time before someone decides to do it.
I think we need wait 1-2 year when ChatGPTlikethings will be added as mod.
This has me thinking that Gordon is a libertarian outdoorsman, with a possible crazy ex-wife named Tammy.
This has the best narrative flow of all your recent stuff, it felt like Half Life was made to fit Ron’s dialogue as opposed to the other way around. Amazing work!
Looks like he’s having fun
1:57 he’s finally smiling
Those tracking shots when he runs and on the boat at the end there are actually super impressive
His insurance guy's going to love it even more :D
1:23
The blue light on his back and head, the details man.
I love how Gordon can't go through a vat of waste even in his hazard suit yet there's Ron running through it barefoot (i think?) without getting damaged
Never underestimate the power of lunch!
0:49 killed me
Outstanding. The handheld tracking is so good! When he mugs the camera after Eli says Alyx is the one thing Gordon can't handle... And when he runs to the fire, what a difficyltb scene to compose !🤘
This is so perfect I beat Opposing Force yesterday and decided to start up HL2 again
Obligatory comment letting everyone know this video is great.
Agreeable response!
I'm a video editor and I'm impressed by the quality of this, it's really really well made, huge props. I even took notice of the detail at the end of having his reflection in the water, that's nuts. Plenty of small details that you covered nicely, just wow.
It feels like some documental episode from City-17 TV
Amazing
1:44 iconic
This is hilarious but the compositing is just mind-blowing, and the details!
They even tracked the photo he took on his phone at 0:10. Astounding.
This is some exceptional editing. The perspectives match up perfectly in each shot, and I love how you blended Swanson's lines with in-game events.
The face Alyx makes after the sentence like a "Dayum" reaction 0:24 lmao its insane
Ron would fix everything in this universe
1:17 Love how Ron literally stops his siege on the citadel to tell Barney how he’s going to cut their funding
The fact that it makes complete sense given how both works have nothing in common is the icing on the cake
To be fair, The Citadel really was a prime example of reckless government spending
God, your motion tracking is so smooth.
1:49
Stay tuned for episode 2!
1:13, first time i went through that area.. Splat on the dune buggy from that train
I love how you pick different characters from different franchises so every fan can see their favourite franchise shine. Today's mine. :)
There’s a calmness in having Ron being the protagonist that makes you feel bad for the enemy
I'd pay actual money to see 10 or 20 minutes versions of your videos like in a series. Great job.
I continue to be amazed by how well you match the camera perspective and motion. Any bozo with after effects can do a half decent rotoscope, but this is insanely impressive.
The shot when eli_handle_b․wav plays is legendary. Love it.
0:35 Damn He Wun Fast 🏃🏃🏃
You made a masterpiece to top your masterpieces .. I always enjoy watching these. I look forward to more ❤
every video you fit the characters more seamleslly into a diffrent world, absolute art.
Everytime I think this channel has topped itself, some fantastic mash-up like this that I didn't know I wanted is released and I have to revaluate my order of best videos on the channel.
Thank you and keep up the great work!
This looks very good like he’s supposed to be there! Good job!
I love how the conversations between characters fits so well
Another masterpiece. Thank you for your hard work!
Wow this is on another level.
Light adjustment and pacing. Very well done 👌🏼
Incredible, his dialogue is perfect for this world. Also the swift punch to the face scene will live rent free in my head for the rest of time.
Ron Swanson is a National treasure and needs a series.
These are all so good and this is one the best yet!
These are always good. Thank you, makes my day each time.
0:10 he edited the fucking camera screen.
You never fail to seamlessly work real world people into video games.
This is incredible, I’m speechless as to how well put together this is.
What an amazing job! I also appreciate how well the lighting matches up.
Wow this is really well done. He fits the role just perfectly. :D
Ron's smile at the end always gets me
This is amazing, the post processing done here to tie it all together is top notch
Dude these are so good. You’re insanely talented
Fantastic job dude. Ron Swanson is really himself wherever he goes.
This isn't even a meme at this point. It's too high effort to be a meme. It's a work of art.
This is my favorite CZcams channel. Every video is absolutely fantastic. Bravo sir!
My favorite of your work so far
0:42 *wheeze*
This is the best one yet! A coherent story, dialog that makes sense, Ron is always lit fitting to the environment and I see no artifacts, even when he's behind the grass. Amazing!
EDIT: The grass wowed me so much that I had to figure out how you did it. it's not even in the scene, you took the texture from the game files and made it an overlay, didn't you? So simple, yet so effective.
Fantastic work! A masterpiece.
The legend returns with probably the greatest edits we've ever seen this is absolutely quality over quantity though.
Really wonder how much effort and time it took to find the perfect clips, get ingame footage, rotoscope, light etc. But either way marvelous job its awesome!
0:56 - he was shot in the back.
This is like the best one of these yet. Great work!
Just when I thought you couldn't do better but... man this is insane ♥
Dear Redditors, if you're gonna steal this person's hard work and post it for likes, at the very least give him credit so he continues giving us more videos like this
Ron calling Breens Tower the Sears Tower killed me.
Phenomenal work as always.
Man, this one became one of my favorites! I couldn't stop smiling!
Nice work!
ANOTHER GLORIOUS UPLOAD FROM YOU MR.ELI, AWESOME WORK!
Incredible work. The editing is top notch as always!
I can't believe how well you chose fitting clips, this is incredible.
Its such a high quality edit this deserves a applause
Man I love this channel!!
I needed this. Thank you.
amazing work as always :)
Amazing video as always!
I've just found your channel and can't stop. Every bit combines perfect editing with very fitting and clever jokes that few can pull off
Seamless, amazing work!
amazing editing - great job!!!
I'm amazed that editting like this is even possible. The level of detail in every shot and how is all connected... chef's kiss.
Man, that's insane quality, I love that. Great video, I enjoyed ut a lot
This is INSANE MAN. Holy crap. I loved every second!
Amazing once again a truly beautiful video
Your stuff is on another level my guy.
This is masterful. Thank you so much.
