  • Hello, world! I'm a new creator who wants to make high quality videos about games... but with a twist.
    In "How a Stupid Man DESTROYED the World," witness a different side of the Half-Life universe. This original story follows The Gordon, an unhinged Black Mesa scientist, as he succumbs to madness and embarks on a destructive path to wipe humanity off the earth.

    I mean yeah, I always wondered why everybody treats Gordon as a hero. He could've just as easily been portrayed as a villain who plunged the world into disarray - he was technically responsible for the resonance cascade (even though we know he was just doing the manual labor), and while the canonical explanation is probably that Gordon wasn't a sociopath who killed every fellow scientist and security guard he came across in HL1 (I think this theory is supported by the fact there's no friendly fire at all in HL2 and subsequent games, so you're probably not meant to kill allies in the first place, you can just do it for shits and giggles in HL1), the average person would most likely think of Gordon as the reason why the world went to shit. Aliens started invading Earth, then he launched a satellite that inadvertantly caused the Combine to notice Earth because of the portal storms that followed after Gordon kills Nihilanth, and I think I read somewhere before that the Combine used that satellite in order to be able to teleport to Earth and defeat it in the Seven Hour War.
    I think the whole Messiah-like status of Gordon post-HL1 is quite unrealistic, and while the science team would know that Gordon wasn't responsible for this by any means, good luck explaining that to the average person.

    I am so glad this video found its way into my recommended. All those random cuts of Gordon 'talking' to the various members of Black Mesa got me giggling. I hope you keep making these videos and that your channel grows big. Keep up the fantastic work and I hope you have a great day!

    Crazy to think a creator this new would so easily become my favorite! Keep doing what you're doing, it's comedy gold!
    I'd love to see you play some other titles with characters doing unnecessarily destructive stuff, like, say, Terraria! :)

    I recently watched the video of a playthrough documentary of how Gordon can save as much people as possible (impressive results and very wholesome!)
    And then there is this XD The duality.

    I am 99.99999 percent sure that this is what plays on City 17 TV when Dr Breen isn’t talking. The other 0.00001 is that Dr Breen doesn’t stop talking.

    That was amazing, the memes were fantastic, the narrator was just fabulous. The casual switches between a perspective of the player, a narrator, and Gordon himself were so artful. I want more, I Need more, and I need everyone else to know and need more too.

    What a surprise to see that your channel at the time of writing this only has (almost!) 800 subs, you deserve way more for the quality of this vid. Still, congrats on 1.6k likes and 17.2k views! That's insane for a first video, I'd say

    You ever wonder if, for every minute of Half-Life 1 and 2, Gordon Freeman prays that nobody finds out he was the cause of the Resonant Cascade that ended the world?
    And that he doesn't talk for fear of letting it slip he was the one who ended human civilization as he knew it?

    Fun fact: Canonically Gordon wears a helmet, but they decided not to depict him with one so he can look cool. The helmet is why he has a HUD and is immune to headcrab latching.

    • @acebecks6288

    • @someguy1894
      @someguy1894 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      most people who die by headcrabs (in scripts) are usually unaware/busy
      a scientist killed one, cheers, then gets killed by a headcrab
      so, no, you dont have to be immune by a helmet

    • @miloradowicz

    • @xxfalconarasxx5659
      @xxfalconarasxx5659 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Canonically, we don't know. Marc Laidlaw did receive emails from fans questioning about the helmet thing, and he gave some sarcastic responses, with one saying that it was like a Schrodinger's Cat situation, and another saying he probably lost it because it gave him "helmet hair".

    If you would do a Video liek this about the fnaf series (games 1-6) it would blow up especially with your type of humor. Fnaf is at a all-time high because of the movie and the community is all over youtube crawling for content. You could use shorts to market your humor and quality content that you produce. Me personally would wish this type of video for Minecraft but in the end it is and always should be up to you what you do.
