you can press E to either mount or dismount safely - half-life source was the worst, followed by classic half-life. Blue Shift and Opposing Force fixed the issue with ladders, while from half-life 2 onwards you can just use E.

"-- Zombies are one thing, but the guy with the briefcase never said anything about ladders covered in butter." '... What guy with a briefcase?' "I don't remember saying anything about a guy with a briefcase."
YES, Gordon has the right mind set! The Ladders are the true evil! Also i am going to believe those disgruntled engineers are small green and speak in mostly screams. Probably named Bob
I think these are actually the ladders from HL:1, which doom all innocents to untimely graves. In HL:2 you can just press E to stay on a ladder and move up and down, and you automatically mount a ladder when nearing it. They're much better.
Freeman's Mind is gold, but sometimes Ross breaks the emmersion with reacting to some stuff like a pleyer who plays HL/HL2 for the very first time would react, not like the character his playing would. The only thing I can criticise him for.
Okay, the actress for Alyx really reminds me of Alyx in-game, right down to the eye brow movements. Awesome job. Gordon in the video is how I imagine Gordon in game if he actually talked... These guys are good. Yooooo, these guys are friggin good

For those interested in the separate dialogue: Kyle/Gordon: I used to fall off of ladders all the time before any of this ever started. Zombies are one thing, but the guy with the briefcase never said anything about ladders covered in butter. Marina/Alyx: How can you be afraid of ladders? You have a Power Suit! You're the only human being with a Power Suit! Like, I can do all the same things as you, but I don't have a Power Suit! You don't see me complaining.
No joke, I would watch a Half-Life series with a talking Gordon Freeman if he was similar to this freeman. Reminds me of Ross Scotts Gordon, except a little nicer and a lot less crazy. Good job.
a little thing i appreciate is that gordon has a similar accent and tone to his voice to what kleiner does (technically all the hl1 scientists since they were voiced by the same guy) - it gives a lot of consistency where there wouldn't be since gordon doesn't talk in game

That girl is more gorgeous than she has any right to be. ..sorry. I'll return to my cave now. Also, the ladder punchline was superb. Also also, that eye/eyebrow movement was great.
...That is a point, does Gordon even eat or drink at all? Did G-man or something about the resonance cascade change his metabolism on such a fundamental level that now he can only subsist on painkillers and clotting agents? I've seen nothing in the games to discredit it as a hypothesis.
This video is great on several levels. The writing at every stage is superb, and you even get a new perspective on his actual motivation for the break after finishing the video and rewatching it.
gordon's argument: i used to fall from ladders all the time back in black mesa before any of this ever started (??) but the guy in the briefcase never said about ladders covered in butter alyx' argument: you have a powersuit you are the only human being with a powersuit like i have to (??) all the same things as you but i dont have a powersuit (??) may need more work in (??) since i dont know what he/she said

Source ladder physics- highest kill count of all time.
you can press E to either mount or dismount safely - half-life source was the worst, followed by classic half-life. Blue Shift and Opposing Force fixed the issue with ladders, while from half-life 2 onwards you can just use E.
The source engine plus ladders equals Instant death. Whereas the gold source ladders are fine.
They even suck in Apex legends, which is a *heavily* modified version of source
I dont get this skit, I never had any issues whatsoever with ladders in hl2 as far as I can remember. And seems I was the only one?

Does your dad work at valve?
Peter Peterson maybe : P
"Don't even bother..." Gordon know's what he's talking about.
He is beating half life 2 for the 10th time. He knows what to do
Of course he does. He's a highly trained professional.
"What comes after two?" Alyx starts speaking.
Wait a minute, they were right
“Where have you been?”
“What’s the lowest level of Hell again?”
“Nine I think?”
“I was right below that.”
Okay no joke, that was badass.

I have to agree.
This was witty as fuck

And turns the exact same way too.
I noticed it too, I bet it was intentional
Practice lots and lots of practice

Thanks :D

i just came across your guys's stuff today and ive already watched several hours worth, you guys are hilarious. i love the civ videos
"I don't remember saying anything about the guy with the briefcase."
Of all the takes on Gordon Freeman's voice I'd like to imagine it sounds like this. I'd like to think his personality is like this too.
that girl's Alyx costume is truly on point
That ladder looks like it's made out of PVC and Play-Doh. I wouldn't trust it.
+Wil Rodriguez PVC and hot glue, thank you very much.
+White Lightning HQ Oh, ok. Climb away then.
I love how the actress put the effort into walking like an actual NPC
I think these are actually the ladders from HL:1, which doom all innocents to untimely graves. In HL:2 you can just press E to stay on a ladder and move up and down, and you automatically mount a ladder when nearing it. They're much better.
Anoni Mouse but I still die to all ladders in valve games, left for dead,half life one and two and more.
Anoni Mouse I think that’s what he meant when he says he is stuck.
CSS and GMOD they became horrors again.
I actually preferred the HL1 ladders.
I couldn't get off the HL2 ones.
I like the ladders in hl1. The hl2 ladders are temperamental and you randomly don't attach to them.
I'm loving gordons personality.
IKR it's similar to mine.
It's one of the best, right after Freeman's Mind
Freeman's Mind is gold, but sometimes Ross breaks the emmersion with reacting to some stuff like a pleyer who plays HL/HL2 for the very first time would react, not like the character his playing would. The only thing I can criticise him for.
I don't know what's worse, him being afraid of latters, or the fact his beard doesn't fall off his face :3

"What comes after two?"
Valve- Uh, Artifact
1+2+Alyx.
....and then some stuff happened.
Best explanation ever.
"What comes after two?"
Longing and sadness, dr. Freeman. Longing and sadness...
the sitting at 1:44 is what alyx does when she sits and what you do when you sit in both half life and gmod. great detail.
Okay, the actress for Alyx really reminds me of Alyx in-game, right down to the eye brow movements. Awesome job.
Gordon in the video is how I imagine Gordon in game if he actually talked...
These guys are good. Yooooo, these guys are friggin good
This would actually be a very appropriate personality for Gordon Freeman. This all would almost feel right at home in the games.
"I'm Gordon Freeman."
"You cannot use this as a reason for everything."
"Why not? Everybody does."
LOL
I mean he ain’t wrong
"I don't remember saying anything about a guy with a briefcase."
This is how I imagine Freeman actually being: a PHD lab jockey who is very annoyed at the interstellar war he has to fight now
"I was at work ready for a normal day of pressing buttons and eating donuts, and now I'm fighting a trans-universal alien empire. There was 1 day between that first part and the last part."
After 2 comes pain and suffering
The reason he's scared is because whenever you go down a ladder GORDON JUMPS OFF IT FOR NO REASON AND TAKES ME DOWN TO 30HP
*I would like five minutes, without something trying to kill me*
but your g o r d o n f r e e m a n
and about time, too!
"i do not need a helmet" i see whe at you did there
I love that you hold your finger off of the trigger SO many games and people forget that detail
Also, sometimes the ladder is on top of a hatch and thats really bad.
"Mom, can we have gordon freeman?"
"No, we have gordon freeman at home"
gordon freeman at home:
I love how he just chucks his crowbar at the dude.
I’m rewatching this and I’m still not over that perfect recreation of Alyx’ walk cycle.
"Wake up, mr freeman ... the right ladder in the wrong ladder can make all the difference, so wake up, wake up and smell the ladders"
"1.. 2... what comes after 2?" I know! 2 part 1 and 2 part 2
*episode
It may be hl 2 part 1 episode 1 and 2 lol
The "guy with a briefcase" thing has a WHOLE new meaning after HL: Alyx
Found this video 8 years later and it’s still pure comedy
I agree
I found your channel 2 days ago and after 30 skits I gotta say you have some of the best small budget production on the internet. Keep'er goin
Thank you! Welcome to the channel! :D
2:51 this aged well. "what guy with a briefcase?"
pretty sure half life: alyx answers that question
For those interested in the separate dialogue:
Kyle/Gordon: I used to fall off of ladders all the time before any of this ever started. Zombies are one thing, but the guy with the briefcase never said anything about ladders covered in butter.
Marina/Alyx: How can you be afraid of ladders? You have a Power Suit! You're the only human being with a Power Suit! Like, I can do all the same things as you, but I don't have a Power Suit! You don't see me complaining.
3:04 VR. Apparently VR comes after 2. I'm not complaining, but I am surprised.
No joke, I would watch a Half-Life series with a talking Gordon Freeman if he was similar to this freeman.

Man, these Half-Life sketches are classics. Anyone else re-watching these (possibly repeatedly) in anticipation of Hal-Life Alyx?
Ever since I first watched this and watched someone play the entirety of Half-Life: Alyx. And still waiting, bud.
Does Marina have a channel? She's a great compliment to the White Lightning HQ team, and it would be cool to see more of her.
+MegaLamb She doesn't, which is too bad. We only just met her for this project ourselves.
I'll say this, she wasn't acting...that was too good to be acting. Yeah, you tell her I said that.
I love how witty you made Gordon
GoldSource ladders are the bane of my existence.
don't forget the doors in black mesa squishing you when you stand too lose.
I liked this video, but small tutorial:
If you press E you can get gently off/on the ladder. (At least in Half-Life 2 and the episodes).
Sometimes i forget gordon is just a scientist who didn't wear a helmet
I just noticed this video is 3 years old that MEANS WE HAVE 3 MORE YEARS INTIL HL3 COMES OUT!!!!
