This is the most 2009 thing I've ever seen and I adore it. The late 2000s internet was the perfect wild west of digital entertainment and it kills me that we'll likely never have things like this again
A friend sent this to me today, a decade after I first saw it. I thought this was one of the coolest things ever back then. No SFM, yet so professional looking.
I was just reminded of it again. I LOVED these videos back in the day. Hard to believe it’s probably been a decade for me too. God how the times have changed
Fun Fact: Gabe Newell liked this song so much that when he listened to it he immediately contacted the members of Linkin Park to make a videogame adaptation of this masterpiece
@@mrant5752 I believe the title of the game became something like Half-Alive 2? It didn't take off very well. I don't remember the name that much so maybe one of the words was changed.

This video alone shows how absolutely groundbreaking Half Life 2's facial animation was at the time. These models and rigs are from 2004. It's almost hard to believe. This video was also created before Source Filmmaker was a thing, makes it even more impressive the amount of work that probably went into this.
Honestly, they still are. All the recent games i've played have okay-ish facial animation but they don't feel organic like the HL2 ones. I think the closest i've seen are RDR2 and Half-Life Alyx (obviously)
I feel like this song perfectly fits with the story and vibe of half life. In the end of half life 2, what you did only got rid of the problem. So many people died, so much was destroyed, and in the end it didn't even matter.
It's an old way of doing it, in my opinion its better because its made in-engine instead of being only a set of anims. Civil Protection (A classic I recommend everyone watches again) did it, and it looks pretty smooth in some scenes. The guy who made Civil Protection actually has a tutorial up on how to do stuff like this, though its old and is probably broken.
I love how this is a perfect example of the “cool era” of the internet People thought this was cool, then they thought it was cring, and now they recognize this as one of the HARDEST videos ever made It’s so perfect
I don't think people can really fully appreciate the level of animation here without trying sfm yourself, and then have the realization of this actually being made in gmod. Factoring the date and time in, undoubtedly, absolutely, insane.
I was playing Black Mesa and forgotten I had downloaded a workshop that removed the final battle's theme with this song. The best final boss fight before 100% achievement Black Mesa, thank you Chester and Dr. Klein Edit: The video of the fight and music is on my channel
Honestly, some of my favorite gmod videos are from 2009-2012. Dasboschitt, Kitty0706, Rubberfruit, Raikujo. If you watched their more "recent content" as in, most of their channels ended around 2015 or earlier, you'd think they made content as recently as 2016 or even now. That's because a lot of SFM and GMod animators took notes from these great folks. Definitely check out Schwiggan. His animations were as clean as the one in the music video. Yes, he still makes videos to this day. Brings a tear to my eye.
okay memes aside, i didnt even realise this was made with gmod at first its so damn impressive. this person managed to make this look smoother than any modern sfm animation 2 years before it was even a thing and i absolutely adore it, props to you.
The way this has better lip syncing, expressiveness, and cinematography than a lot of SFM animations while being made 2 years before SFM even existed is ridiculously impressive. The amount of care, passion, and time put into it is palpable.
And yet it took like a decade for it to blow up and turn into a huge meme in the half life community, I'm pretty sure it would have MUCH more views if it blew up when it was first posted
This is 12 years ago? Time sure is a valuable thing im watching it fly by as the pendulum swing Im watching it count down to the end of time the clock sure is ticking life away as I would say this is so unreal
Well i mean, Gordon freeman did it like what the song mean "I tried so hard, i got so far, in the end, it doesn't even matter", bc he did everything just to see a bad ending in half life 2
me when im in an In The Virtual End (Linkin Park HL2 music video) competition and my opponent is an In The Virtual End (Linkin Park HL2 music video) fan
Finding this masterpiece from the memes, it baffles me how authentic this is, no fancy effects or anything, it just feels like an organic half life 2 official in game cinematic. This video is so good it feels like a fever dream
His early work was a little too new wave for my taste, but when he came out with ‘the virtual end half-life 2’ I think he really came into his own, both commercially and artistically.
with how "in the end" sounds, half Iife 2 seems like a great game to make a song like this for with the combine taking over the entire world in such a short amount of time.
I am currently sobbing and crying over this cinematic masterpiece. This HL2 music video is the best thing to ever touch the internet and I'm super thankful I'm able to watch this. Thank you Ray Koefoed for supplying the greatest thing on the internet ever.
This is beautiful and I am in tears. My wife came back, and my kid's are now in college after seeing this. And even better, I won the lottery after watching this. I showed this to Africa in its entirety and they are no longer starving. I am in tears, this changed my life. For the better. Thank you.
The fact that he made this not in SFM, but FUCKING GMOD is another level of impressive. People nowadays can’t get a Gmod animation to be this fluid let alone 12 years ago.
my favorite part was when Dr Kleiner said "Eli, we're in a virtual end" I was in shock and tears, such a powerful scene truly a song ever made Bravo Newell
I come back to this video every now and then because I missed it when TH-cam just had a bunch of people making whatever they want. There was no exploitation of the algorithm or clickbait, it was just doing stuff for the fun of it. Also it just goes hard.
If posting memes is to result in upvotes then you must post memes. Sun Tzu said that, and he knows a little bit more about posting memes because he invented it!

And this was before Source Filmmaker, it's just crazy the amount of effort was put into this for the time it was made. There really wasn't any tools to easily make this work. I hope this guy has a career in animation engineering by now if he was able to do this in 2009.
Rest in peace, Chester Bennington. May you be remembered by people who listen to this masterpiece. And thank you for making me, my Dad, my sister, and my Mom happy with your songs.

The fact that this is 13 years old is amazing and it still holds up
yes
It's amazing
@@Khaild000 of course it is Pin Head!
It sounds similar to a certain video game character's battle theme. Could it be that they were inspired by Linkin Park?
Is it true that Bury the Light radiates from your body 24/7
Something about Linkin Park and Half Life just mashes so well together
For 2009, this was incredible, & seriously one of the best machinimas.

Finding this masterpiece from the memes, it baffles me how authentic this is, no fancy effects or anything, it just feels like an organic half life 2 official in game cinematic. This video is so good it feels like a fever dream
That's how we did things in that decade.
and to think it was made using just sdk face poser and gmod
his work might not have peaked on its release but its a long term effect that will be loved by future generations
His early work was a little too new wave for my taste, but when he came out with ‘the virtual end half-life 2’ I think he really came into his own, both commercially and artistically.
@@theylivewesleep.5139 He's hip and nquare
This is the most 2000's thing on earth, change my mind
Raging against a bitter sense of futility. No wonder this song fits so well. That's HL2's narrative arc in a nutshell.
Real asf
so unreal
with how "in the end" sounds, half Iife 2 seems like a great game to make a song like this for with the combine taking over the entire world in such a short amount of time.
Seven Hour Wars and Dr Breens, muthafuckaaaaa!

Felt appropriate to watch this after finishing episode 2.
The fact that he made this not in SFM, but FUCKING GMOD is another level of impressive. People nowadays can’t get a Gmod animation to be this fluid let alone 12 years ago.

@@CannonofAntsit's a joke
I come back to this video every now and then because I missed it when TH-cam just had a bunch of people making whatever they want. There was no exploitation of the algorithm or clickbait, it was just doing stuff for the fun of it. Also it just goes hard.
Goes the hardest
True smh.

it'd be so cool if half-life half-lifed all over the place in the movie

If Half Life came out in 2007
Found this from a meme just today. Honestly, I found it funny from the start but now I just find this very unique seeing that this video doesn't even have any sfm included, and for it being a decade old shows how much this video was ahead of its time
This will FOREVER be the most legendary TH-cam video to exist
Didn't win the machinima test but became the most relevant. Truly losing the battle but winning the war.

Absolutely.
And given that this was made in 2009 it's BUTTER
And this was before Source Filmmaker, it's just crazy the amount of effort was put into this for the time it was made. There really wasn't any tools to easily make this work. I hope this guy has a career in animation engineering by now if he was able to do this in 2009.
God damn what an amazingly well made video, especially for 2009 and using gmod! It looks professional!
not only gmod, also the SDK Face Poser
this deserves more recognition
you’re literally here because of the recognition
@@pipebombmailer even then, i'm surprised it only has little over 100k views

Rest in peace, Chester Bennington. May you be remembered by people who listen to this masterpiece. And thank you for making me, my Dad, my sister, and my Mom happy with your songs.
