Thanks for watching this video on the best doggo a person could ask for. Would you like your own DOG? If you liked this video, please consider commenting and liking to appease the algorithm, it'd be greatly appreciated!
I wonder if his ability to sense incoming combine attacks had to do with the technology he was made out of? If the combine sent a signal to their robots prepare for an attack, it's possible DOG also recieved it.
Seeing him taking down a strider and a dropship was pretty cool. But yeah I would LOVE see him fighting a horde of antlions for example. I really hope he will be thoroughly used in the next HL instalment and maybe we even get a chance to play as him? That would be pretty cool.
They really should have put Bullsquids in watery areas, had Houndeyes in the wilderness/abandoned buildings, and added in different cut Xen flora/fauna into the game. That would have really improved the lacking enemy variety, and made the world truly feel like it’s infested with all kinds of weird aliens that have integrated into Earth’s ecosystems.
@@shreksnow1918 In HL2 we learned that antlions built their hives underground but yeah I would love to see more animals adapting to the new eco-system going on rather than just rush to humans attempting to eat them lol
I have a theory on how Dog knows where Alyx is all the time, and it's that he is linked to her EMP tool that she keeps with her, so he tracks it because he knows that it is most likely with Alyx.
In Episode 2 Beta Ending, Alyx mentions that she and Gordon going to test out Upgrades in to Dog, and in Episode 3 Leaks or whatever the leak name was. 2 Maps containing Dog Upgrade System
@@Skyrionn just want to say there's links on a tyler mcvicker video that contains a couple maps from episode 3 that leaked that got fixed up and are actually playable
I just realize that in The Perfect Resistance Member Gordon Freeman was attacked by the combine advisors and you can see that gordon freeman he's just sitting while being attack
I love this video, DOG was always my favourite character in HL2 and the episodes. However 1 quick note, the rocket itself didn't take out the portal, it launched a satellite which connected to the same satellite launched in HL1 to close the portal.
God you made me miss my own dog!

Dog was one of my favorite characters in half life 2 one of my favorite moments in half life 2 episode 2 was the race with dog the choice to bet him or let him win was always fun to make
Awesome video as always, been using these to get to sleep recently. Ever consider making a video on the finest mind of this generation, Laszlo? 😉 Edit: haha just saw your Russel video, looks like you’re way ahead of me lol. Good stuff!
I saw this comment a little late - but yeah, I covered Russell. Laszlo sadly doesn't have much lore to cover into one video. I have been told that a lot that some people fall asleep to my videos. I'm considering doing a one off ASMR video but I'm on the fence about it.
I Think His 6th Sense May Have Something To Do With His Combine Parts, Perhaps Hes Picking Up On Something From The Combine And Thats What Tips Him Off
I really liked Dog. Seeing him take down the Synths was definitely really cool. I really like how he helps you at key parts of the game. If only we got to see him fight against the various different Xen creatures (it would be like Omni Man vs bootleg Justice League). They really should have put the different Xen creatures into the game because it would have made 2 tie in a lot better with the original (personally I think the beta would have been a much better sequel because of just how dark and oppressive it was. It truly feels like earth has been completely taken over by aliens with all of their technology everywhere, their various cybernetic abominations are roaming the streets, and they’re draining it of all it’s resources. In retail it just feels like the Combine are there, but don’t have a super big presence in comparison. The game we got was truly great, but it has some major drawbacks. Luckily we can fix all these problems with mods), as well as making narrative sense with all the portal storms dropping in Xen creatures across the world. It’s interesting how Dog’s design changed overtime. Between the beta and retail it’s mostly just a visual upgrade with a few minor tweaks. But, the version in Alyx looks really different because of how high poly/res he is. Why did they change Eli’s voice actor? Did he just not want to reprise his role, or did he sadly pass away? There’s this Half Life rts called Lambda Wars. It’s a standalone mod you can get on Steam so it’s completely free. It has two factions the Rebels and the Combine. I haven’t played it yet, but fr what I’ve seen and heard it looks really good. ESCalation has a good video about it. This is kind of off topic, but have you played any of the Halo games? Luckily most of them are now on Steam (with the exception of 5 and Halo Wars 2). What I suggest you do is wait for the MCC (Master Chief Collection) to go on sale and buy the ones you want. When you critically analyze the story in the games it is really dumb at times and consistent. But the strength of Halo’s narrative is in the presentation. It has really good voice acting, music, and gameplay with fun enemies and cool set pieces. Plus, it has a lot of really cool and deep lore. If you want to learn more about the universe without having to read a bunch of books that range in quality (they’ve been just pumping them out since 343 took over) the channels you should check out are Halo Canon, Hiddenxperia, Sametoken, and Instalation00. It’s probably one of my favorite universes because of the lore. I’ve also grown up with the games so I can overlook the flaws, while acknowledging them. Fortunately now that they’re on pc the different aspects that haven’t aged well can be fixed with mods. The new Halo Infinite was fun, but it’s sadly really bare bones. There was so much cut from the campaign, and it’s not really worth buying at this moment. Wait until they add a bunch of stuff. Luckily the multiplayer is free, but it has horrible cosmetic monetization. The Halo Wars games were pretty fun. Admittedly they’re really bare bones and don’t have a lot of unit variety. Luckily they work really well as introductory titles to the genera. They also both feel really good to play on a controller because they were designed to be played on consoles (I’m aware that’s weird). Unfortunately 1 doesn’t have crossplay so Steam, Xbox, and Windows Store users can’t play with each other. Wars 2 also isn’t on Steam for whatever reason. One thing that’s really funny is since you can’t really import custom assets so any new vehicles are mashups of different assets. The new units are just reskins with swapped out weapons/abilities. Luckily the Flood is playable because of mods. One thing about the lore that’s truly disturbing is the Flood. They’re this truly horrible parasite that can infect pretty much everything, and can even spread through the air. When you get infected you will feel your bones snapping, organs liquefying, and various other changes happen. If you’re lucky it will result in you dying. There’s been some cases like Private Jenkins who have been infected by an aged/damaged infection form so they remained alive and could fell everything, and were well aware of their actions that they couldn’t control. When Keyes was turned into a Proto-Gravemind he could slowly feel his identity was slowly stripped away as the hive mind was looking for important information. You’ve probably heard about the fact that there’s a new Halo show on Paramount Plus. Admittedly I’ve never watched the thing because I don’t have said streaming service. I’ve mostly just seen clips. Apparently the audience reactions are very mixed. You have some people who really like the show and others who hate it. One thing that is consistent is you have both sides agreeing it’s a mixed bag with a lot of different aspects they liked and disliked. Part of the reason it’s been getting so much hate is because they’re making all these weird changes to the lore. Luckily the thing isn’t canon, and is it’s own thing. What they should have done what the Marvel movies did where they loosely adapted the source material (in this case games and books) while changing the things that simply don’t work for a tv format, and put their own spin on certain things/added in new ideas. Great video. I’ll be awaiting your others.
Yesss! I'd love to play as Dog. How stunning was his new design though for Alyx! Hal is a great name. What type have you got? I'd love a doggo of my own!
Imagine how scary those tunnels were for the combine when DOG was in there with them, like I can just see these soldiers running away as this giant machine tosses a combine soldier like a toy at the rest of the group
I f--king loved DOG.... every playthrough I ever did, I could have easily sat there playing fetch with DOG for at least an hour or so, maybe even longer!
Hey if you're hearing this kids today don't remember DOG because the sounds that dog makes is similar in the dog vs strider battle because it's similar to titan speakerman

Hi i'm the guy that askes for resistance settlements video. Have been wondering if it's comming, or is it not enough content for a vid.
please tell us the lore of grady the core and the toilet turrets and the other turretsin from aperture desk job please
Dog is the goodest boy of the series
i would like a D0g and a C4T
I will forever cherish the moment when I was playing Half-Life 2 and Alyx called "Dog" and this thing comes out.
I wonder if his ability to sense incoming combine attacks had to do with the technology he was made out of? If the combine sent a signal to their robots prepare for an attack, it's possible DOG also recieved it.
it's probably the combine radio/antenna he has built-in
you my frend need to work at valve
correct
his head is a combot, he probably recieves all signals just as city scanners do.
Fucking hell this makes me think if the resistance had an army of "dogs" they would have a good chance against the combine.
An army of DOGS would be fantastic!
@@Skyrionn cok
Good chance? No they would have a garenteed victory
we all need a DOG in our lifes.Only wish we got to see him in action against Xen wildlife. 🐻
Seeing him taking down a strider and a dropship was pretty cool. But yeah I would LOVE see him fighting a horde of antlions for example. I really hope he will be thoroughly used in the next HL instalment and maybe we even get a chance to play as him? That would be pretty cool.
Download the Improved DOG NPC in Garrys mod workshop and spawn him in against Xen creatures
I would have loved to have seen that
They really should have put Bullsquids in watery areas, had Houndeyes in the wilderness/abandoned buildings, and added in different cut Xen flora/fauna into the game. That would have really improved the lacking enemy variety, and made the world truly feel like it’s infested with all kinds of weird aliens that have integrated into Earth’s ecosystems.

The way his head flaps went back when Eli died... 🥺
Dog has more personality than Bumblebee in all of the live action movies combined.
That's a bit of a reach.
I have a theory on how Dog knows where Alyx is all the time, and it's that he is linked to her EMP tool that she keeps with her, so he tracks it because he knows that it is most likely with Alyx.
In Episode 2 Beta Ending, Alyx mentions that she and Gordon going to test out Upgrades in to Dog, and in Episode 3 Leaks or whatever the leak name was. 2 Maps containing Dog Upgrade System

The amount of detail on DOG in Half Life Alyx is insane.
most memorable dog-scene ever

dog: shakes head

Classic Gordon
I love this video, DOG was always my favourite character in HL2 and the episodes. However 1 quick note, the rocket itself didn't take out the portal, it launched a satellite which connected to the same satellite launched in HL1 to close the portal.
Wish I had this smart dog, he would fling me in a wrecked car and catch me as well.
Sounds dangerous
spent at least two minutes at the end of Alyx trying to pet DOG instead of taking the crowbar. i love him sm.
Great work Skyrionn as always !
You're so underrated hope this changes soon :D
Thanks so much! The algorithm seems to be being a little kinder lately so we'll see what happens!
Uploaded just in time for lunch break. Thank you.
Perfect timing! It was meant to be
God you made me miss my own dog!
I just love what you did here, also at the end involving the 2020 game - it was a new way to describe what hapenned and also stay in perspective of Dog for the sake of your documentation.
Yes, your videos are since you arived in youtube Half-Life Documentaries cause nobody else realised them in the way you do, that is no joke - i mean it serious.
Now your work here made me think about the continuation ☺️
After having Half-Life Alyx in VR and also Steam Deck it seems very logical to have Dog also as playable character in a future Half-Life game!
It is just an idea.. a slight 6th sence or a hope after seeing your documentary.
Greetings

Love watching your videos alot! Keep up the good work :)
Thanks so much! Will do. I hope you enjoyed this one too!
A good boy for sure
The best boy
DOG actually fought a strider dog jumped on the strider and ripped a armor plate and ripped out its brain killing it

finally another video from half life cant wait ti watch it to the end.. and i hope you make more videos from half life alyx ♥♥♥♥
New Half-Life every 2 weeks. Any Alyx suggestions are welcome ☺

i like how at 15:13 alyx just dies
It wasn't a great death tbh

Anything Marvel is great in my book. Wanda is the Hero we all need.
It's an older reference, sir, but it checks out.

Eli's voice actor did pass away.
That make sense. It’s sad that he’s gone.
It would be great if we played as dog in the next half life games. Watching this vid with my dog Hal.
Yesss! I'd love to play as Dog. How stunning was his new design though for Alyx!
Hal is a great name. What type have you got? I'd love a doggo of my own!
@@Skyrionn Dog in Alyx looked really cool. Hal is a gold retriever… corgi mix. He is also a big Half Life fan.
Sorry Dave, I'm afraid you can't do that.
Imagine how scary those tunnels were for the combine when DOG was in there with them, like I can just see these soldiers running away as this giant machine tosses a combine soldier like a toy at the rest of the group
If Gordon Freeman, Corporal Shephard and DOG all teamed up at once the combine wouldn't last 5 minutes
If they captured dog, they’d reverse engineer him and recreate him in their own image. Combine style DOG mechs
That'd be a disaster for the resistance
@@Skyrionn agreed
Imagine what would this machine do if it wasnt literal scrap
Dog looks kinda similar to Peabody(?), the tall Portal Co-op robot, it makes sense becuase Portal and Half Life are in the same universe and all that
He also looks similar to a combine city scanner
In what way?
I can see that. Black Mesa were six to have stolen from Aperture. Maybe Eli took found a design or something
The upper half carapace seems *very slightly* similarly shaped, but besides that I absolutely don't see it
Dog is a good boy
I love dog

I f--king loved DOG.... every playthrough I ever did, I could have easily sat there playing fetch with DOG for at least an hour or so, maybe even longer!

Hey if you're hearing this kids today don't remember DOG because the sounds that dog makes is similar in the dog vs strider battle because it's similar to titan speakerman
Oh so this is where decay boom found speaker mans Screech
WOOOP! Thats a dog that will never leave you
8:32 so this was intuition and not his antennae detecting local radio chatter, from the combine forces that never shut up?
The most beloved character in all universes.
I feared a riot
so basically when dog runs off randomly gear up for combat because its bound to get pretty dicey.
Dog is one of the best video games characters ever along with legion from mass effect
I find it interesting how similar Dog's physiology is to Vortigaunts.
half life people, think dog
gen alpha people think, titan speaker man
my friend : you have a dog
me : yes
my friend : that's not a dog that's a robot
That was super interesting! Thank you.

Awesome videos!
Glad you like them!
I wonder what would Dog be like if he saw real dogs. Interesting.

Best character in the game.. Do not argue this..
never underestimate DOG

Also , Alyx added to him . Eli only created the first prototype
I.. think... that's what he said
Is it just me or did gordon in the concept art that he showed kinda look like the postal dude?
good thing dog is smart enough to have emotions, apparently, but not enough to question the nature of its own name.
