I love this type of content and even more so when done in your style because you can dig deep down and explain most of the cases. Keep up the good work.

Well the reason why it sound weird in that hallway is because of source's echoing effect and it's not just in that hallway many places in half life 2 do that.

I think my greatest discovery in hl2 was how great dog's ball was at killing and distracting zombies in Ravenholm.

I don't think I'd ever actually seen the fail state of the final battle in ep 2 until now lol

I hate it when I get deleted. Happens to highly trained professionals as well it seems.

I just started merry go round in the Black Messa East scrapyard, didnt tryed that before. But there is one weird bug i just accidently figured out just a few moments ago in the same place. Maybe Pinsplash didnt know about this one. When dog starts throwing boxes at the player to catch it with the grafity gun, if you put another box, or a barrel just before a dog grabs one box to throw it from the container, the box that Dog grabs explodes in the container. Im not sure if that is a famous bug, but i just accidently bumped into it.

I'm a Quake modder/coder, and it's funny seeing how various of those quirks are rooted in things that come all the way from the Quake engine

Very slightly related, but in the last battle of EP2, _any_ strider you spawn can start to walk towards the missile silo and blow it up. For people less familiar with the source engine, this seems unremarkable, but for 14 y/o me that had it drilled into my head that 99% of npcs in HL2 needed to be named in order to be affected by a scripted command, it was the wildest thing. That fact alone let me play for hours on end on that map, making huge npc battles in a modded EP2.

Striders actually need special nodes to walk on. Thats it. No commands needed

Cool stuff my dude!!

I found this very interesting. Good video.

I found something interesting: The codebase that ep1 and ep2 use checks your moddir and based on the directory you play it toggles some features e.g. LegacyFlashlight: if start a source game whose directory name is hl1, hl2 or episodic then the game will disable the flashlight meter and use the aux power. If the moddir doesn't match with these names then it will enable the flashlight meter. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything else on this matter.

The highway debris blocking the train track blew my mind. Holy shit.

I've never seen the failstate for the White Forest Strider invasion - I've always either cleared that section first try, died by other means, or just reloaded a save of things weren't going well. That game over message is hilariously condescending, essentially saying that the game knew you were this bad from the start before ending itself. Would've been even better if they went the extra mile and just have the credits play along with it, to really sell the "the game ends now" line.

@booperscooper1491

Truly the greatest Half-Life 2 fact ever discovered.

Now the vaporized pod one is just weird and creepy.

0:00 This is a normal occurance, because if you zoom, you're telling the game that your FOV should be like 50, but with holding Z, you tell the game once again to put it at 30. Now because both are acting upon the player's FOV constantly, it will be switching between 50 and 30 really fast, but most of the time it will never go to actual 50 FOV since this function is way to fast. One way to fix this is if there was a boolean call of whether which zoom was called upon. If it was the Z keybind Zoom, or the crossbow zoom, and then you can temporarily disable the other until you let go of said hotkey. (Right Click or Z)

3:27 same thing happens but to most or all weapons if you use the commands "sv_cheats 1" and "impulse 101" in Portal 1

thanks for the earrape at the end

Love ya vids

I love how there’s still so many things I still don’t know after playing for almost a decade and a half now.

In Episode 2 in the area with the first Hunter fight, depending if you visit the transmitter before or after powering up, Alyx's line will change.

3:05 Ah, so that's where entities go to when they're deleted from the game.

That Potemkin Village thing when you stand on top of the drawbridge is pretty neat.

Great video as usuall m8. Do you think you would do such content for L4D2?

Gordon got sent to the backrooms when that pod got deleted

i think the biggest shock ive learned from this is what happens when you fail to stop the striders, i've always saved/ loaded at every strider so ive never let one get to that stage before o.o

1:34 train: goes normal* Wee.. disappears*

@pinsplash I did this on the 360 Orange box. I pushed Alyx through a door that she wasn't supposed to enter (you two split up), and the game copied her to the next area with me. She would be talking through the loudspeaker, while her doppelganger followed (and assisted) me through the level. Later when she's supposed to join back, there became 2 of them :).
