it's worth mentioning that the rpg controlling the tank rockets isn't jank and rather an intended feature, rockets check who fired the rocket in order for laser sights to not go wacky in deathmatch, and so you can control other players' rockets who don't have their laser sight on, and the tank specifically has code overwriting the user to allow you to control them yourself, and it's the best thing ever

34:24 I wonder how much damage does the barnacle bite actually do (or how it works) in order to reduce Gordon's HP from "Practically infinite" to... 15 37:40 I also love how inmortal gordon takes suit energy just in case
barnacle damage increases over time while ur being eaten by it, i think. so huge. it would probably require a lot of math. or maybe it even shows how it adds more damage. idk how to calculate that. not good at math but ill just go on a whim and say it like multiples by 50 or some shit, sound like good number, in incredible fast speed like 3 seconds at least.
@@isaiahsimmons5776 Maybe barnacles chewing directly on you takes a percentage of your health, 90% to 99%, sometimes up to the full lethal 100%? I will guess based on how long he let the glitch sit, it was ~100,000 health he accumulated?!?? 🤷🏻♂️
things i found about infinity in garry's mod. in garry's mod if put too much 999999999999999999999999999999999999s in it, it will make 3838485+inf or some shit. this actually doesnt anything, it instead just uses previous amount u put it on before 999999999999999999999999999s. so infinity in this way does not in fact add to more, it just in in fact exist after a certain huge amount. there's also another in garry's mod which is like 38374745 which is like +inf in garry's mod. depends on the same previous source. so barnacle probably just ignores the +inf if that logic makes sense.

@@thepastaprogenitor851 I'm pretty sure it means it was half of the half life, since, you know, one quarter is half of an half. If it was two times the playtime it would just be a life, and we have none of that here.
@@Rogeryoo nah. A half-life is when an object loses half of a certain element in it's composition due to radiative depreciation (don't quote me on that). That means that two half-lives would be a quarter life, which was the joke
@@thepastaprogenitor851 oh right, that kind of half life. I never connected those two together, and always thought of half life (as in a person's life), in this case. But still, if it's half of an half life, doesn't it mean it has MORE radiation, still? Not the 100% I said, but if it didn't reach a full half life, it should be around the 3/4 of the radioactive atoms on it.
@@Rogeryoo the half-life reaction slows the 2nd time as there's less elements to react to create the product (I think). So each half-life loses mass in the same timing even if there's less of it (if it takes 5 years for one half-life, it should take 10 years for two, not 7.5 years)

Half life fun fact: in the Nilahanth fight if you shoot the hornets at it’s teleportation projectiles it just negates it and deleted it out of existence

Ive had a pretty good amount of experience with the mapping program Hammer for source games and most of the jank you show off in the environment is just caused by doing very simple things in very roundabout or slapdash way and that honestly makes it more hilarious.
There's not enough Half-Life playthroughs on TH-cam that aren't "no deaths no commentary" and such. I wish I could just watch someone experience the game for the first time. It's an absolute masterpiece.
@@toxic_shr00m The only concession I will make in terms of Black Mesa being worse than Half-Life is that the soldier AI is too strong, and is kinda unfair to fight compared to HL. Everything else is a matter of preference, and let me tell ya, I vastly prefer both On A Rail and Xen not being hell-holes. Seriously, any argument that HL Xen is better than BM Xen is complete bullshit, especially considering the HL devs themselves admit that Xen was rushed and unpolished.
It's the exact same projectile you fire, probably due to budget they didn't recode the rockets fired from the Hamilton tank and other players in deathmatch with their lasers off.
It is intended. The laser sight code checks the shooter of it so you wouldn't be able to control other player's rockets in Deathmatch, otherwise rockets would go crazy if you both had your laser sights on. However, there's code that "bypasses" this check with the tank, allowing you to control them as if they were yours. HL is full of goddamn small details many people would never experience in a single playthrough, makes you appreciate the game even more!
Grayfruit randomly screaming is the best part of his commentary, and it is made even funnier by the fact he will literally mute every other loud noise possible
it actually makes perfect sense that your laser rocket guidance system, stolen from the US military, affects other laser-guided rockets that the US military uses that having been said, that tank looks like the Bradley IFV, and I believe the Bradley IFV's missiles are actually "fly by wire"--they literally have a spool of wire attached to the back of the rocket, that hooks into a set of contacts in the launcher, which in turn allows the launcher to direct the rocket. So while it would totally make sense _assuming their rockets are also laser-guided,_ it's still jank
Wait, what? Literal wires trailing out from supersonic, many-kilometer-ranged missiles? With rocket engines that burn in excess of 800C? You can't be serious. Edit: Holy shit. I legitimately thought that fly-by-wire was simply replacing hydraulics in planes with electrical systems. Apparently, the Germans made the first of these in 1944. AND made the missiles spin for that sweet gyroscopic. Woah. No wonder why there's such a Wunderwaffen mythos around Nazi tech.
@@op8288 yeah it's a thing it sounds goofy as hell, but it's more reliable than radio control and less expensive than guidance mounted on the rocket itself just wait until you hear about the missiles with swords instead of explosives, though
This is actually an intended game mechanic... for the multiplayer. Any rocket fired by any player can be guided by any laser. Since the tank fires the same rocket entity as the player, it makes sense that you can guide those too.
The grand daddy of all story based shooters, and still a shining pillar of it. It real got me re-interested in it when the fruit decided to play them and i played along with him. Either way have a nice day and keep up the good work.
mr gray "grayfruit" fruit subjected the chat to one of his classic "Grayfruit Bits™" in which he baited them into mansplaining him by saying portal and half life don't take place in the same universe
19:42 I did this in HL2 by accident and it was really creepy Edit: Oh my god open the silo door! They’re coming for us! Oh my god we’re doomed! *explodes*
I don't think it scares or conceptually terrifies me enough to be a phobia, but I did get strangely disturbed by that interesting...uh, "inverse" example of submechanophobia? 🥴😌👌🏻
Also didnt the storyboard for the end of the series involve Gordon flying the Borealis to a Dyson Sphere that allowed the Combine to reach the Solar System?
Yeah. But when valve made Half life 1 in 1998 portal was not on their mind. Not to mention that valve hired some college grads to make portal in 2008, so Mark laidlaw's writing had to be altered to include Aperture science in the half life universe.
I love this game and its jank & some parts of this were a real treat. I was just as excited as you were when you showed that you could hijack the enemy tank's rockets, actually surprised that I'd somehow never stumbled on that personally or even seen anyone else discuss it either!
Came here again to see if people are still making comments regarding the "That's a little too Game Theory for me" bit, seems like they still are but the frequency has died down a bit, hopefully to the point that Fruitmund Mcgrayllin's inbox isn't as much of a constant reminder of people's capacious mental sloth.

@@toxic_shr00m >disgrace
bruh
@@toxic_shr00m lmao "thing new=bad"
@@toxic_shr00m The only concession I will make in terms of Black Mesa being worse than Half-Life is that the soldier AI is too strong, and is kinda unfair to fight compared to HL. Everything else is a matter of preference, and let me tell ya, I vastly prefer both On A Rail and Xen not being hell-holes. Seriously, any argument that HL Xen is better than BM Xen is complete bullshit, especially considering the HL devs themselves admit that Xen was rushed and unpolished.
@@toxic_shr00m I'm what way is black mesa a "disgrace"
The laser designator on the rpg stealing control of the tank's missiles is a cool touch if it's not unintentional.
It's the exact same projectile you fire, probably due to budget they didn't recode the rockets fired from the Hamilton tank and other players in deathmatch with their lasers off.
@@TheEmeraldSword04 ah I bet that budget went to smell ai
@@redpanda7297 and the cockroach behavior!
It is intended. The laser sight code checks the shooter of it so you wouldn't be able to control other player's rockets in Deathmatch, otherwise rockets would go crazy if you both had your laser sights on.
However, there's code that "bypasses" this check with the tank, allowing you to control them as if they were yours.
HL is full of goddamn small details many people would never experience in a single playthrough, makes you appreciate the game even more!
Grayfruit randomly screaming is the best part of his commentary, and it is made even funnier by the fact he will literally mute every other loud noise possible
Watching grayfruit get genuinely giddy at game glitches is adorable.
it actually makes perfect sense that your laser rocket guidance system, stolen from the US military, affects other laser-guided rockets that the US military uses
that having been said, that tank looks like the Bradley IFV, and I believe the Bradley IFV's missiles are actually "fly by wire"--they literally have a spool of wire attached to the back of the rocket, that hooks into a set of contacts in the launcher, which in turn allows the launcher to direct the rocket. So while it would totally make sense _assuming their rockets are also laser-guided,_ it's still jank
Wait, what? Literal wires trailing out from supersonic, many-kilometer-ranged missiles? With rocket engines that burn in excess of 800C? You can't be serious.
Edit: Holy shit. I legitimately thought that fly-by-wire was simply replacing hydraulics in planes with electrical systems.
Apparently, the Germans made the first of these in 1944. AND made the missiles spin for that sweet gyroscopic. Woah. No wonder why there's such a Wunderwaffen mythos around Nazi tech.
@@op8288 yeah it's a thing
it sounds goofy as hell, but it's more reliable than radio control and less expensive than guidance mounted on the rocket itself
just wait until you hear about the missiles with swords instead of explosives, though
What? Really?! :D
This is actually an intended game mechanic... for the multiplayer. Any rocket fired by any player can be guided by any laser. Since the tank fires the same rocket entity as the player, it makes sense that you can guide those too.
@@Johncw87 i dont think it was even intentional for multiplayer. it just simple jank and memory shortcuts.
24:22 i just wanted to say that i loved what you called those little guys
The grand daddy of all story based shooters, and still a shining pillar of it. It real got me re-interested in it when the fruit decided to play them and i played along with him. Either way have a nice day and keep up the good work.
i think "grayfruit being way too knowledgable about the current game" is my favorite type of content
13:54 this part floored me for no reason
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK HAPPENED!?
I wish i knew
mr gray "grayfruit" fruit subjected the chat to one of his classic "Grayfruit Bits™" in which he baited them into mansplaining him by saying portal and half life don't take place in the same universe
@@autonomousanonymous6310 yeah but why did he ascend this plain of existence after making a toy story quote out of nowhere?
@@Gooboo_ unfortunately i couldn't tell you that, the fruit works in mysterious ways i suppose
My favorite fun fact about Half-Life 1 is that the dripping water effect is the exact same one used in the Gem Hunt in Webkinz
19:42
I did this in HL2 by accident and it was really creepy
Edit: Oh my god open the silo door! They’re coming for us! Oh my god we’re doomed! *explodes*
6 minutes in and already I'm loving it. I love all the little trivia and the commentary. Keep it up.
You can tell when Lark makes the thumbnail for one of your videos. His style of thumbnail is just very distinct.
The first time I played Half Life, I yeeted that cart right into the laser at 04:20 it scared the ever loving shit out of me as a kid.
14:47 - funniest death I've seen in a while
I lost it there, it was the last thing I possible expected to happen.
he got karate chop by the barrier
Man, I love your laugh. It's so different from your normal voice that it's contagious
[Does some deranged thing that breaks game in very specific way] "Good game, good game"
25:48 as someone with submechanophobia that did spook the shit out of me, but im gald that someone knows about it considering how rare it is.
I don't think it scares or conceptually terrifies me enough to be a phobia, but I did get strangely disturbed by that interesting...uh, "inverse" example of submechanophobia? 🥴😌👌🏻
Submechanophobes when Domanthropophiles walk in
these glitch-fests and “””speedruns””” are my favorite type of grayfruit vid
One of the few games I feel grayfruit actually could legit speedrun
Absolutely superb video for an absolutely superb game! Thank you, Grayfruit.
The scientist slowly fading away after being absolutely pummeled is the most graceful thing I’ve ever seen
19:31 I actually did this on my first playthrough and I was very confused
29:05 I love how that moan sounded like it echoed lmfao
Right! The beginning tone of the music made that transition weirdly seamless, and does create that audible illusion.
I’d like to see you go into the gman death room with the inf hp glitch just to see what would happen
the screen just blacks out, you get killzoned so no matter the amount of health
You can only look around in that room. There's mods that let you move around and fight eldritch abominations, but base game it's not great.
I like how at 14:02 he just has a stroke then says sorry
Portal and half life have literally appeared in eachother
Edit: *it appears I am the clown*
Also didnt the storyboard for the end of the series involve Gordon flying the Borealis to a Dyson Sphere that allowed the Combine to reach the Solar System?
Now I ain't a lore nerd.. but *didn't he play half-life 2?*
@@RatTailSoup4 oh in the vods he said he knew and was just joking around, but he left that out of this video to piss off the comment section.
Yeah. But when valve made Half life 1 in 1998 portal was not on their mind. Not to mention that valve hired some college grads to make portal in 2008, so Mark laidlaw's writing had to be altered to include Aperture science in the half life universe.
@@TheDefender123Plays im more referring to the later games
Would love to see you complete the episodes, and possibly even expansions. Keep up the amazing work dude!
I have a feeling Gfruit hasn't seen Half Life VR but the AI is self aware and I hope that changes soon
they literally say in half life 2 episode 2 "our peers at aperture science were at work at a project of some promise" -dr. kleiner

I LOVE THIS VIDEO, every SECOND I was laughing or smiling. This is one of the best if not the best half life videos I’ve ever seen
One of these days it's going to be a crossover with DeSinc, and it will be marvelous
i watched this video like 4 times, i love the action zombie scene, keep up the great work!
10:58 I was not expecting grayfruit to pluck a memory from my mind tonight, but here we are
I love this game and its jank & some parts of this were a real treat. I was just as excited as you were when you showed that you could hijack the enemy tank's rockets, actually surprised that I'd somehow never stumbled on that personally or even seen anyone else discuss it either!
Came here again to see if people are still making comments regarding the "That's a little too Game Theory for me" bit, seems like they still are but the frequency has died down a bit, hopefully to the point that Fruitmund Mcgrayllin's inbox isn't as much of a constant reminder of people's capacious mental sloth.
love being a lore nerd and seeing someone do a bit about lore that's very definitely wrong lmao. feels good
also this is my first time watching and I like your style!
What bit about lore?
18:16
Ah yes, the flag of (USA)², where extra freedom, weapons and countries liberation are at the double. Truly a wonderful place
the cut back to grayfruit slowly inching up the mountain and slipping a little after the speedrunner zooms all over the place around 25:13 is really fucking funny for no reason
42:10 ITS THE G-MAAAAA-
First time watching. For some reason, the way you talk is really satisfying. Legit subbing cus of that.
14:01
are you ok buddy?
😆 I think he was doing a decent vocal impression of Michael Jackson. 🥴
He gone fucking mentally insane
it’s probably autism. i can relate
i always come back to this video once in a while i actually like it so much
Love the stuff man, glad to see a new Half Life video in my recomended again.
Definitley agree with Half Life being overrated but simutaniously underrated. Thanks for making another drag day feel a lot better :)
the intro is very relevant to the date im watching this on
Glad you didn't have to vomit into the air for this one.
I don't know why, but I like this guy's attitude. His insouciance amuses me! Subscribed.
I've watched this video in 144p/240p and this game looks litterally the same at normal resolutions
This unironically taught me some speedrun strats. Thank you
34:40 living life to the fullest
Full life
