Something I noticed, whenever Woolie comes upon a scene where Human soldiers are fighting the Alien invaders, Woolie immediately starts shooting at the humans. So I guess we know what side he's on when the aliens invade for real.
8:05 damnit, now all I can picture is Woolie in the HEV suit, no helmet, classic hero pose as the *universe is being unmade* around him, "My suit will protect me."
I really wish Pat hadn't tried so hard to talk Woolie out of Playing HL2. The game still holds up super well, it just also has a few short physics puzzles.
@Morcego cinzento he used the argument that HL2 has aged worse than the original HL because there are a ton of physics puzzles that he says are impressive for the time it came out but now are just tedious
2:22:45 Gordan just terminatored his way through the factory with a nigh unstoppable super weapon, harrying anything and everything within his path, leaving only lamentations and nuclear vapor in his wake. He then proceeds to flinch when a dangling cable rubs his shoulder.
I dropped off the LP around mid-Xen because I didn't expect it to be so damn refined from the original. It's... wild how much work they did on Xen. The environment itself is way more detailed & interesting. Gonarch fight is SO MUCH BETTER. The Vort teleporter scene is a great way to somewhat outright state without directly saying something the community has said for years; it's likely that any Vorts being teleported to Black Mesa were not maliciously attacking folks, but defending themselves after, to them at least, being forced to TP to who knows where against who knows what. GARGANTUA'S LAIR. Actually innovative laser puzzles. And everything about both the lead-up to & the Nihilanth itself. Truly a master class in game design, they turned the worst part of a game into its best. Also, WOOLIE RENOUNCING HIS TITLE OF CEO OF RACISM TO SAVE THE GALUNGAS
I wonder if in his spare time, he's gone through the original just to see the differences. Or at the very least the HL1 expansions. Which when I think about it, aren't really necessary in order to play HL2, but are still good for gameplay and more lore.
Thinkin of the KOTOR2 clip where LittleV is like "ah man, I cant believe I'm doing what I was watching you guys doing years ago" and hes like "this is too weird lets just" and you can just hear him trying to slide out of his skin
the surprise at air mobility is especially funny considering that Half Life was literally made a year before Unreal Tournament and Quake III Arena, arguably THE MOST mobile FPS's. Although UT2004 does take the cake from UT99
Yo shoutouts to putting the timestamps in the description. I skimmed through to see if Salty Satan Sabotaging Woolie's control Setup made it in, but alas I could not find it.
Dude, I remember when I worked at Wal-Mart and my Dad's BF showed up in BDSM gear being lead by another man on a leash... And he CAME UP AND TALKED TO ME I wanted to die from embarrassment.
Freeman's nerd powers that allows him to take down the military is Chad vibes and an HEV suit. That and he's willing to fist an alien to use it as weapon
As an aspiring game dev, I will monitor ever test player, every. Single. One. Watch how many empty boxes they break a d find out when they give up. Then, and only then, will I place a single power up and no others.
40:13 died laughing, also because your screen went black and me playing half life a lot in the years i'm pretty sure you fell to death. Like how you say you got stuck between the chair? It had you floating in the air and once you got unstuck BAM.
"Woolie go over here. No don't talk to that guy he's not important. Go over here. Now press the following keys in the following order." there, saved you the trouble.
In Latin, Nihil = nothing, anth = human. You could read it the name Nihilanth then as “the absence of humanity” or more literally as “the No Man”. This could be meant to imply that he intends to annihilate the earth, but I have a feeling it’s something to do with the Freeman motif.
"Anth" in actuality means "flower", and it relates to the way the Nihilanth's head seems to bloom open as it takes damage, revealing its major weak point/where Gordon must land the killing blow.
Half-Life 2: Update is how I'd recommend playing it. Mainly just polishes it to have the fancier graphics that came with the later episodes without messing with the gameplay.
I’m hoping that the reason he hasn’t played Half Life 2 yet, is because he found out about Operation Black Mesa, the fan remake of OP4 and Blue Shift, and he plans to play those first.
Opposing Force and Blue Shift aren't cannon though, the only thing from them at is is the nuke destroying Black Mesa, and that doesn't even come up in any of the HL2 games anyway.
Great to see the compilation. Personal OCD bug: This video is shimmering/showing trails when moving. I don't know if its a capture of a youtube of the original, but it looks super off to me. Can't wait for Half Life 2!
I'm so glad that my joke of the idea of the crowbar being basically Yamato 1. Got seen by woolie in the first place on stream 2. Made it in the best of 1:00:29 Gives me a big ol grin.
Meat gags are good Woolie, you don't need to call them out every time. also I don't think I needed to know what Woolie would do to a headcrab given the chance, keep it in your pants man
i like black mesa, but i'm really not a fan of the soundtrack they made for it the original game's soundtrack was a nice mix between electronic and industrial rock, with some weird instrument choices thrown in for spice black mesa's soundtrack sounds a bit... generic compared to it

Woolie's been a known human traitor since he said he'd betray earth for a jetpack
Woolie’s definitely joining Civil Protection
Have you met humans? Those things are assholes. Woolie knows this, so he chooses change
I mean, we all saw the Xcom playthrough, right?

It's funny that gman says you've earned the suit when the suit is probably worth more than all the weapons he took away combined times like 10

@Morcego cinzento because he's pat
Woolie is an adult, he can choose to play it whenever ge wants to and form his own opinions like he always strives to do
@Morcego cinzento he used the argument that HL2 has aged worse than the original HL because there are a ton of physics puzzles that he says are impressive for the time it came out but now are just tedious
@Morcego cinzento hey it was Pat’s logic, not mine
Good news!

I don't care how much of a badass you are, you feel a bug crawling on your neck you flinch.
You don't survive all that shit without becoming hypervigilant
Calling the Vortigaunts "galungas" feels like a slur
Dirty fucking Galunga's.
Yeah checks out.
a couple minutes later he calls them "Galungers" when paraphrasing "The brain slavers"

Oh yea, that was the biggest and unexpected surprise for me in Black Mesa, Xen is almost a second half of the game, and its *amazing*
Hopefully he'll play HL2 sometime in the next 10 years
He'll get to it soon(tm)
@@dblackdrake gotta love how he played through like 5 halo games and 1 CoD campaign before even touching hl2 lol

@@Reionder True. True.
2:23:22 "God darn it! Whachu doin' freein' our Gelungers? Git 'eem!"
One of my fav parts. Woolie's slave owner impression.
Woolie vs mine field was some Soviet Womble levels of on screen captions
this takes me back to the Machinima days when SBF and Freeman's Mind were on happy hour
Thinkin of the KOTOR2 clip where LittleV is like "ah man, I cant believe I'm doing what I was watching you guys doing years ago" and hes like "this is too weird lets just" and you can just hear him trying to slide out of his skin
the timestamps in descriptions are major POG
Thanks, glad you liked 'em. I didn't expect Woolie to put 'em in. I just submitted them for reference.
Rewatched this LP recently. Really hope Woolie has time on his schedule for HL2 at some point
the surprise at air mobility is especially funny considering that Half Life was literally made a year before Unreal Tournament and Quake III Arena, arguably THE MOST mobile FPS's. Although
UT2004 does take the cake from UT99
You know, by the time Woolie remembers he played this, the fan remakes of Blue Shift and OP4 should be out, so he could play those first, before HL2.
56:38 Yo, just noticed the assassin ladies have the Long Fall boots from portal, cool detail
43:20 I always just called them 'Subwoofers'
Peeper puppers
Yo shoutouts to putting the timestamps in the description.

24:55 tears in my eyes
Perfect timing. Was just about to rewatch this LP
Care for another rewatch?
This was one of my fav series, glad it’s got a best of.
Dude, I remember when I worked at Wal-Mart and my Dad's BF showed up in BDSM gear being lead by another man on a leash... And he CAME UP AND TALKED TO ME
I wanted to die from embarrassment.
Playing Black Mesa is a great setup for playing Half-Life 2
theres the manga, the anime, and then there's the compilation OVA
“It’s not exactly a good time.”
Wait until you get to HL2.
Freeman's nerd powers that allows him to take down the military is Chad vibes and an HEV suit. That and he's willing to fist an alien to use it as weapon
I was just rewatching this too nice,.
Who else has come back with Half Life 2 finally being streamed?
This game gives me insane motion sickness, even watching this edited version is just barely tolerable :( still glad I could finally see it mostly
Gordon after all of this, probably: God I’m so tired...
I love that the HEV runs on windows
As an aspiring game dev, I will monitor ever test player, every. Single. One. Watch how many empty boxes they break a d find out when they give up. Then, and only then, will I place a single power up and no others.
I haven't even watched it yet but i can already tell this is a godlike edit
hope the release of this compilation means HL2 is soon-ish... it's about time to wake up and smell the ashes.
Woolie will surely count to 2 before Valve learns to count to 3.
Woolie needs to play Doom Eternal: Ancient Gods Part 1. It concludes the story started in 2016.
@@SomeKindaSpy
DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods Part 1's story to be concluded in DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods Part 2.
1:04:39 you can see Gman top left hand corner both of em missed it
The judgement crowbar made it's final cut
"There's something in the water....
Woolie: ME!!! (Are you not entertained!?)
Me: *Playing game and watching video*
Woolie: "Meat gagging is a choice"
Me:😶...
Minh you did so good on this edit! Thank you for your service 😌
This is some S tier editing man, keep it up!
40:13 died laughing, also because your screen went black and me playing half life a lot in the years i'm pretty sure you fell to death. Like how you say you got stuck between the chair? It had you floating in the air and once you got unstuck BAM.
First a Spec Ops compilation, now this. What's next, KOTOR 2?
*crosses fingers hopefully*
"Woolie go over here. No don't talk to that guy he's not important. Go over here. Now press the following keys in the following order."
there, saved you the trouble.
@@cybergeek11235 That's why it's compilation. To trim the fat off the LP.
Hopefully HL2 is coming before next spring.
1:17:14 I love the *nuclear explosion* followed by, two seconds later,
Scientist: Ow!
So with this rework it now seems more like the xen species were planning invasion, while also still being on the run from the combine
Man i hope they do Half Life 2
1:51:00 Woolie got transported to KOTOR 2.
A classic playthrough.

"Anth" in actuality means "flower", and it relates to the way the Nihilanth's head seems to bloom open as it takes damage, revealing its major weak point/where Gordon must land the killing blow.
In Latin there is no suffix meaning human. The only equivelant is the prefix "humani-"
"-anth" means flower
Whooops
Hell yes! Been a bit since I’ve seen the LP. Hopefully they’ll get around to Half-Life 2, I know they talked about doing it before
Can't wait for them to get around to 2, I've looked around and HL2 is one of those games that just doesn't have any good LPs.
Well, you got your wish!
Love Woolie's hightlights.
Half-Life 2: Update is how I'd recommend playing it. Mainly just polishes it to have the fancier graphics that came with the later episodes without messing with the gameplay.

Another day, another watch through of this. We're never getting Half-Life 2 bros 😭
Did anyone else quote Freeman's Mind throughout the whole playthrough?
If I recall, someone posted quotes on each corresponding episode.
Look Woolie, ropes! We can use these to- HELP ME, WOOLIE!
41:25 Pretty sure that guy was just behind the box...
Hoping for the Best of Kotor 2 next year.
I'm waiting for the complete series in one vid. All 100+ hours in one go
Part 1 is here, baby
Most people would snuff tf out of a pupper for a shine spark
Who else wants Woolie to play crack life black mesa?
Best of Black Mesa Stream/TH-cam/Reddit Comments: (basically _Freeman's Mind's_ script)
Anyone else noticing ads are staring to play before notable parts in videos?
Don't forget opposing force!
Or at least I pray that you will do it before HL2
Opposing Force and Blue Shift aren't cannon though, the only thing from them at is is the nuke destroying Black Mesa, and that doesn't even come up in any of the HL2 games anyway.
@@RipOffProductionsLLC Not canon?! What are you talking about?
@@Tuikkal Probably cause they were technically made by gearbox, so not canon until a main half life game says otherwise
Great to see the compilation. Personal OCD bug: This video is shimmering/showing trails when moving. I don't know if its a capture of a youtube of the original, but it looks super off to me. Can't wait for Half Life 2!
