Half Life 2

Part 22




hello everyone thank you for joining me once again on this fine summer evening. dont worry about what the whole deal was with the end of the last update, let us speak of better times.


although if you are desperate for closure i will let you know i managed to keep almost all of my teeth


hahaha i will use the own enemy's weapon against them. poetic dont you think?


whatever poetrys for fags anyways


isnt being hopelessly pinned down behind a crate fun? look at that health station there taunting me. if i try and go out and get it i'll for sure be shot to death by that turret. why do you mock me, game??


hahaha not so tough are you now that im out of your line of fire


i can just toss a ricochet a grenade into his little hole and he'll be as good as toast. FRENCH toast that is LMAO


ah shit


WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE SO HARD TO BOUNCE THE GRENADES???


whatever. i just hit the switch to open the stupid gate and move on.


i see two elevators. one on the tram track and another regular one over to the right. tell you what ill let YOU my faithful viewers decide which elevator i take.


hahaha fuck that im not going on the fucking tram elevator.


uhhhhhh


maybe if i like crouch in the corner and shoot it


nope. god damnit.


guess i have to take the faggy tram elevator


fuck you electricity. youre not even powering anything youre just flying around trying to kill gordon. get a job


eventually i figure out you can get by those exploding cameras if you just stand at the back of the tram


what in the fuck???


giant metal boxes are whizzing by the track. honestly how is this NOT a design flaw in the tram system???


stupid box assholes knock you off and fucking crush you


GODDAMN SOLDIERS LEAVE ME ALONE ASSHOLES


haha take that you asscunts


THE FUCK??


GOD DAMN BOXES! FAGGOT SNUCK UP ON ME


past there is a similar sequence, however the boxes push you into a laser


which when activated causes a turret to shoot your dick off. for this part you have to use superb timing to get past the boxes just quick enough. you have to utilize your reflexes to their full potential while the game pushes your skills to their limit


or alternatively you could just duck the whole ride


round the corner and BAM


rocket to the motherfuckering face. this part requires you to dodge with the agility of an olympic warrior. you have to outsmart your opponant, dodge the rockets before he fires them. it is a true battle of wits.


or you could just duck again.



like the other rocket turret operator he doesn't attack once you get past the turret. even though he clearly has a machine gun, he's holding it up. he doesnt kick you or even make an attempt to get away.


TRY GETTING A RESERVATION AT DORSIA NOW YOU FUCKING STUPID BASTARD


well eventually i come to this pit. i need to bring an elevator up so i can ride it down. this part i will save for another day.


its worth mentioning that if you jump down this pit, halfway through the fall a "Loading..." screen pops up and you just have to sit there an extra five seconds just so you can immediately fall and die.


so the other day i was talking to my friend about the half life series and he asked me if i ever played the prequel to the original halflife. i wasnt aware of such a game however he was kind enough to hook me up with his old copy so i will briefly show you this sometimes forgotten yet still golden game.


heres the opening cutscene. something with a dog or whatever. theres a lot of extra black space around the edges so i kind of have to hold the camera close to the monitor


here we go, "Gordon Freeman Saves the Zoo"


apparently before the events of halflife1 Black Mesa decided to open a zoo


"young gordon please take this science chow to the zoo"


"okay"


oh boy im almost there


wow the zoo. look at those big animal hedge sculptures


if i click on them they sing to me about the zoo


awww look at the cute bear


i love kangaroos


wow guys doesnt the zoo look fun?


hooray the zoo


then these assholes sing some more


then i guess we learn something about science


okay yes i get it the game takes place at the zoo alright already


oh no some of the baby animals are missing!


gordon has to find all six baby animals!


anyways whatever you get the gist of the game. dont worry ill be back to playing halflife2 next update.
