I love how you guys omitted Gordon entirely. Really puts Black Mesa into perspective.

Yeah. He may be one of the more recognizable single video game protagonists, but he really kinda just _fell in_ to heroism after everything had already gone sour. He wasn't actually anyone all that important beforehand.

@@Anastas1786 Except he kind of was. G-Man has seemingly pre-selected a bunch of important individuals into his (or his masters) plan, amongst which you can find Gordon, Shepard and likely others. He has a "classified" sponsor in the facility. He's CONSTANTLY watched by G-Man throughout the game (even before the cascade). And is taken away by him at the end only to end up in the train to City 17 at the start of HL2. Gordon is clearly an important person, it's just that he's important for different reasons. For Black Mesa employees, he's just one of the many PHDs there. But in overal plot of the world, he's possibly one of the most important people out there.

The most significant thing Gordon did in Half Life 1 was kill the Nihilanth. In Xen he may have been a hero and a liberator, but in Black Mesa he was just a survivor, like all of his security guard friends and scientist colleagues.
If you are to continue with Valve games, could you do a video on Aperture Science?

Sigiswulf do u think they should turn this into a movie
Half-Life seriously deserves it's own live-action Netflix series already. It wouldn't work as a standalone film, not successfully, but a prequel series with a second or third season going over the events of the first game.
with black mesa blue shift and it having been approved by crowbar collective and wonderfully accepted by its community it in a technicality adds more lore due to its canon friendly lore addition, it expands the past with the old prototype labs and i would love to see the Templin institute cover black mesa once again, truly loved the coverage on it, hope remains!
"They're waiting for you Gordon, in the test chamber"
I love the combine lettering at the start that transforms into the Back Mesa logo
This channel's a gold mine for interesting lore!
Covenant Empire, please.
Just discovered your channel, an 'unforeseen consequence' of youtube search. Awesome work, I only wish the vids to be longer. Subscribed !
Awesome videos, so happy I found this channel. Keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to what comes next!

Wait a minute. Half-Life 1 takes place "at the dawn of the 21st century". And Half Life 2 takes place 20 years after the original... Damn, 2020 sucks in every universe
I love this roleplay format man. Finally some real good content creators. Thank you for this professional series
Fills in some questions I had, love halflife, my brother has made some great custom maps, one based on the underground water storage of the Edo River Flood Control system, the huge room w columns, his vers is 1/2 the size but has 2 walkways around the edge to shoot from, another is a storage facility, a castle, abandoned office building and abandoned motel, great for when you need something to wake your brain while the Keurig makes coffee and while the caffeine starts to kick in.
"Just one of many Unforeseen Consequences". Smooth.
A really nice video, you should do more secret organizations and "evil" coorporations. Much love from Germany :D
You should do one for The Aperture Sciences too.
Love the little Aurbesh at the beginning.
Please do a video on Frank Herbert’s, Dune, with all of the various Great Houses!
Great video. How about Comstar or the Comguards somewhere down the line?
Really enjoyed this video as a hardcore fan. Very nostalgic!

Outside bureaucrats who know nothing about science were responsible for the downfall of a facility making incredible advancements that are lost forever. A timeless scenario cause it's so real.

This was really well written
The Combine!
Could you guys possibly do one on the Combine?
The Bajorans and/or Cardassians from Star Trek would be amazing! These videos are phenomenal, thank you for taking the time to make them!

. . .half the length of the Aperture Science video. Cave Johnson would be proud. XD It is nice to see some history on Black Mesa, though.

I know there are ways to create interconnections between these realms or universes and Realities that can begin new scenarios in their mixtures IMO. Consider some inter connected ... portals xen+ etc...
I assume this means an Aperture Science video is in the works?
I'm not sure what to suggest other than please keep at it!
Where did you get the updated Xen screenshots? I didn't see any notations for artwork. Video was great! You should do the New California Republic from Fallout: New Vegas next!

It was quite nice to watch and gives a broad overview, but I actually hoped for a more indepth analysis on how Black Mesa is structured, how it works and so on. (If this information exists somewhere). Like this it was more a brief story recap of Half-Life 1 and the aftermath of it. But still nicely done! :)
Please do Neo Zeon from Gundam Double Zeta.
The Holy Britannian Empire from Code Geass would be nice
This would make a great T.V. series or a movie starting with the start on youtube
Wish you could've got the guy from "Freeman's Mind" to do a cameo. :P
