Canny Freeman Hypothesis: I think even Laidlaw underestimated the effect an unstable teleportation device like the Borealis would have on a star. Teleporting away a part of a star's Corona could easily destabilize it and cause it to supernova. And if the Combine have their invasion portal open, that could send the supernova across dozens of dimensions, destroying multiple nexuses and crippling the Combine's ability to invade new worlds. It might kill whatever is left of numerous subjugated species in those dimensions, but prevent future subjugation of other worlds. Considering the amount of time and resources even an advanced civilization like the Combine would have to commit to building a Dyson Sphere or Dyson Swarm, it would be a while before they could invade Earth and other worlds again. By then, Earth *should* be more than ready for them.

Didn't kliener say that the citadel network and any technology connected to it is already disabled due to the destruction of the earth one. So if the home system got destroyed, earth and any species that's still on their world has a fighting chance. It depends on how centralized the combine is and if their portals can connect to worlds without an established connection. If they aren't very centralized and have more hubs the size of the dyson sphere they would start recapturing worlds pretty quickly, only needing to get over the confusion and lose of information the lost of their home world would cause. If they cantered their power mainly in that one sphere that would have caused enough damage to splinter the combine. And any occupation force off world would have to survive their subjects and then try to regroup with any remaining part of the combine. So it's either get them off earth and hope you don't do anything that would allow the combine to rediscover your location or reduce them to a still overwhelming but beatable foe.

As cool as Epistle 3 is, and as important as I think it is, I feel it was made primarily to rid the burden of the story, to close it off before it became even more of a burden. It's good, but it's not what I'd call a true end to the half-life story.

I feel like the biggest teller of this is also the reason why I disliked the Epistle 3 ending so much: it completely uproots the central themes of the story that have been building up this entire time, not just through plot and characters, but through gameplay itself. That feeling of satisfaction you feel every time you get out of a tight spot in combat or solve a particularly tricky physics puzzle is there because you’ve shown an ability to innovate, to adapt, to problem-solve and overcome challenges that seemed, at first glance, impossible. The Resistance is lead by a tightly knit group of people. They behave like family, and arguably the most important people in the Resistance before Gordon’s arrival are actually father and daughter. Despite the extremely miserable state of the world, these people are still able to look at things in a hopeful light. Just listen to Alyx’s dialogue in episode 1: she makes jokes, cheers you on and appreciates the small victories. Had that hope, that desire to try anyway, that unquestionably human “why not” feeling in the face of something so marginally greater than ourselves not been there, the Resistance would have never existed. We would have just given up and submitted after the first seven hours, yet our nature pushes us to keep trying, to unite and find a new solution, regardless of how dire the situation becomes. You, as Gordon, as ‘the right man in the wrong place’, are a symbol of that hope because you represent humanity as a whole. You are one ordinary man, caught in a conflict far greater than yourself by chance, who adapts and survives with everything he’s got out of a burning desire to live. Humanity is, just like Gordon, a seemingly helpless victim of forces outside its comprehension, and it, just like Gordon, persists through innovation and a determination to be free once more. The main antagonist of the game, Wallace Breen, actively rejects his humanity, and in his many speeches, tries to convince others to do the same. He resides in his Citadel, looming over the rest of us as though he is superior for joining the Union, for he sees the very things that have taken Gordon and the Resistance as far as they’ve come so far as signs of weakness. He taunts you relentlessly as an effort to make you lose hope, and the very moment you bring his Citadel, the symbol of the Combine’s oppression and his supposed superiority for enabling it, down to the ground, one thought persists in your mind as you head towards the continuation of the story: “It’s time to prove him wrong.” And this is where we get into the problems with the nihilistic nature of Epistle 3. Because everything I’ve talked about so far is that Half Life 2 is a game about the greatest strengths of humanity. It’s a game about how we can overcome challenges that seem impossible with our unity and ability to problem-solve. It’s a game about how we should never lose hope because somewhere out there is always a solution we just haven’t quite found yet. The very central themes of the game disprove the idea that accepting our fate is the only solution, by ending the game like this, with the thought that our efforts amounted to nothing in the end, all of that is essentially thrown out of the metaphorical window. One of the series’ most iconic quotes, ‘the right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world’, is made meaningless by this ending because in Epistle 3, the right man in the wrong place made no difference at all. Add how out of character Alyx acted and the metric ton of plot threads left completely untied and we get an ending that truly could have only been written out of desperation to end the story in some way, for only out of this desperation can a story written to make one proud to be human make you feel so ashamed of it.

Good video. Now all we need is to combine the two videos and have it jump drastically back and forth between becoming canny and uncanny.

Imagine being late for work and not even a fucking week later youre on a ship floating through space towards a enigmatic super dimension spanning empire's dyson sphere.

This brings up a good point. The fact that Gordon is just a scientist who has barely used a gun and managed to plough through hordes of metropolice shows how poorly trained they are and how instinctual Gordon is. I think the next Half-Life VR game (if it isn't a HL3) should be a spin-off featuring Adrian Shepherd in City-17 at the same time as Gordon's journey, around the time that the rebellion starts. Since Adrian is a trained combat veteran who just returned from combat minutes ago from his perspective, he would be able to kill and outmaneuver metropolice about as good as Gordon, but more tactical instead of instinctual. I'm imagining a scene where a metropolice is bullying a citizen, and the player has the opportunity to run up and beat them up and steal their baton, absolutely decimating them with his superior abilities in hand-to-hand combat, and would teach the player about meelee attacks, something that was lacking in HL:A. It would be interesting to see Adrian join the resistance effort during the week period that Gordon and Alyx were teleporting, to give more background info into how it started, maybe having Adrian be part of one of the first raids on a Combine checkpoint or something, then slowly showing the downfall of the Combine's grip over time. A clever way to jump time would be for Adrian to enter a resistance base and show the rebels settling down in their makeshift barracks, and skipping time once the player interacts with the bed to sleep. It would be a good way to show the rebel's dire living conditions and how tough their life is while also showing their determination to their cause, no matter how helpless it may seem.

0:45 why do I feel that render references the ubercharged profile pics of the TF2 classes?

Mix the uncanny and canny and you'll get perfection

0:40 is rendered creepy by the clipping teeth

I was left alone, riding the weaponized research vessel into the heart of a Combine world. An immense light blazed. I caught a cosmic view of a brilliantly glittering Dyson sphere. The vastness of the Combine’s power, the futility of our struggle, blossomed briefly in my awareness. I saw everything. Mainly how I saw the Borealis, our most powerful weapon, would register as less than a fizzling matchhead as it blew itself apart. And what remained of me would be even less than that

Half-Life but Gordon is a very optimistic person.

The ending is just... Incredible.... ❤️
