Escape From Mount Stupid: Half-Life

@@Apathetic_Prick lmao im still laughing at your coment omg such ignorance

I still haven't figured out how to push that button. :( 20 minutes of entertaining video = no apology needed, Mr. O'Dwyer. I don't think we'll be seeing anything about the next Half-Life for at least a year, if not more. Can't wait for that wrestling game video next week!

Episode 3?...Episode 3?...Bueller?...Bueller....?

@Apathetic_Prick What cinematics? You clearly didn't play the game.

Half-Life 2 had the best campaign...the expansions were epic as well.

Awesome show!

i enjoyed the HL2 when i got the orange box for ps3 so much that i wanted to play the original on pc couldnt find a decent copy until i ran into it in a yard sale it came with team fortress classic and opposing force

Rise and Shine Mr Freeman......... Rise and shine........ : ))

great video, best game ever period!!

20 mins is a good length per episode imo

"I remember the first time I played Half-Life. My brother copied it from his university friend's shared drive and bundled the files onto a bunch of zip disks." Isn't that, like, piracy...? And no one mentions it? Such hypocrisy...

Cant wait to see your next episode,I was wondering if there was some real wrestling games (greco-roman or freestyle)....And this episode is awesome,love Half Life,love your show...Good luck

This has become my favorite gamespot serial, keep up the good work danny. and no, Valve wouldn't release three new games in one year. HL3 is coming out Q1 or Q4 2013.

this just makes me want to play the entire series again..and yeah... Nothing has come close to half life 1 and 2 in FPS awesomeness to date. Just seeing that intro with the train automatically made me reinstall all the half lifes again. I couldnt agree more how fps's and gameplay has deteriorated into Quicktime event awfulness. In just about every game, including Crysis 2. Just the fact Modern Warfare has A and B logos onscreen in search and destroy, is horrible enough.

@sarimrocks, Well i certainly would'nt rule out the appearance of the 'Apperature' in the next Half Life. Quite simply the best 'Story Based' FPS series ever made!!

Wow, great history of Half Life! Hope HL3 gets announce in E3 this year! :(

Valve should combine Half-Life, Portal and even Left4Dead for the ultimate sequel!

I need episode 3 now... I tried to get over it but... such a tease Danny.

Haha, this whole video is very true. HL and Opposing Force were two all time classics. Blue Shift was way too short and minimal to be included. Can I get a track ID for the mellow song that plays in the background around 6 minutes please?

Valve is always awesome! From start to finish (For now)... they've never disappointed me in anyway. I have always been a huge fan about their games and will be forever. Still hoping that Half-Life 3 would come out though....

all hail valve lol, seriously thou the only solid rock in my gaming history... great homage GSuk

[QUOTE="Danny said not"]Alyx Vance... sort of acts like your love interest from here on out, though she does most of the talking.[/QUOTE]

Much like Real Life then. :|

"Come on Gordon, you trying to get me into trouble?" Best video I've seen on GameSpot in a while, I downloaded the OEM version of HL1 before the full version came out, I think I played it on of the first generation Pentiums. Back then, all we had was a couple of bare websites and PC gamer magazine for our gaming info. I wish we had the quality of content back then with the modern delivery methods we have using high speed internet today. Either way, this did bring me back to what I believe was the pinnacle of PC gaming.

OHHH NOOOO!!

Such a great episode, thank you so much, awesome.

The video isn't showing up on my computer. Anyway, I'm sure it was another awesome episode.

Regarding Half-Life and FPS design: I'm glad a lot of that has been forgotten. A lot of Half-Life's innovations were purely superficial - namely you being part of the (unskippable) cinematics. Luckily developers have learned from that and you're not stuck waiting 5 minutes to play your game anymore. Beyond that, Half-Life never wowed me. I was lucky enough to get caught up in Goldeneye and Turok, both of which came out around the same time and genuinely had much more to offer from the perspective of gameplay. Unfortunately, many of the better elements from both of these games have been lost to the sands of time. Not to draw a comparison so much as to create a perspective.

half life has my fps viginity :)

I hope they release the Half Life 1 remake on consoles and PC when they finish it. Would be awsome to play it again with updated graphics and physics.:D

oh, Half-Life (1) is such a fantastic game... gonna play me some Half-Life on my Dreamcast during the easter :)

for me Half Life series is most epic and existent FPS game ever made and i am waiting for next one hop it will be soon.....about zip disks WT F (there is something called internet and torrents ..DdAAa) and about five weeks it long time to finish it !

Half-Life is the best game ever made and easily the most influential game of the last 15 years. Without it, for better or worse, the gaming industry would still be presenting games with paper thin stories, FPS games without AI and Quake would be a yearly release... basically unchanged from Quake 3 Arena.

Its been so long since the episode 2 came out... Half Life 3 or episode 3 seems to be a sort of a fairy tale by now I just love to see what "soon" means in that wicked Valve time xD Srsly though if anyone out there from one if not the best company out there is reading this, WE (I think I speak for everyone) want the sequel as soon as possible! Thank you

ew, zip disks... Why didn't he own a cd burner? They came out at the same time!

I remember loving that half-life theme!

memories...

The Half-Life series has a special place in my heart and I can't possibly pretend any neutrality when it comes to judging it's value. IT'S AWESOME.

mmhmm. Half-Life :D

OOOOH YEAH~~~ I've bought all of HL series but never played them.. I guess time has come for me to play it :)

I had to stop my self from starting a Half-Life marathon after watching this...
