We had a lot more footage that didn't make it in, in case you were interested in watching an idiot manchild play with a dead rat for 8 more minutes

"Don't scare me like that, little guy!" *headshot of affection*
A little 9 mil, as a treat.~ Ɛ>
Before watching the video, I saw this comment and interpreted “headshot” of affection as meaning something like “moment” or “prime example” of, but nope.
He literally shot the lil guy in the head… affectionately.
Like a kiss on the forehead
This all reminds me of that one run where some other dude tried to get a push cart as far as he could through half life 2, but that cart gains way more meaningful powers than long distance toilet torturing, instead it stops a freakin train in its tracks and learns how to launch your character to the stratosphere
i can’t believe camwing kidnapped jerma for his half life video
what a menace
correction: he KILLED jerma, dumped his body in a trash can and then use his carcass to record for his footages
a bloody psycho
Jacquees!
Jerma is real?
*was
@@Moircuus he is actually just 5 rats in a box
@@halfsinenah he’s scout
Playing on one screen will never simulate the primal panic of trying to beat a headcrab to death with a trash can lid
21:42 - I need y'all to understand how funny this shot is.
Imagine yourself in the shoes of a Combine Soldier: Following the collapse of the Vault, you're on high alert, seeking any non-Combine force that dares encroach upon the vault. Suddenly, a rebel charges from out from the shadows straight towards you!
Startled by her sudden appearance, you don't have time to whip out your weapon before she lobs something straight at you.
...it's... a dead rat.
She threw a dead rat at you.
...
You watch as the rebel scuttles back into the shadows.
[Unrelated side note] I agree it IS a shame very few people talk about this... and more-so how very few people can actually experience HL:A in it's intended form... (the recent Steam hardware survey says only 1-2% of all Steam Users have a VR headset)
This comment changed my perspective on the entire playthrough. Incredible
There’s only three more tasks to accomplish before becoming a Crow war chief.
This reminds me of hl1 playthrough where he role plays the entire thing.
My pet rat, Maggie, died last week. It's been hard letting go, and I wish I got to hold onto her for the rest of my playthrough. Thank you for this video, for a moment I got to feel as if she was with me again.
Rest in peace, Maggie. I'm glad you could find some solace in this vid, losing any pet is rough emotionally.
luckily the rat is dead so itll be just like real life! vr is truly immersive!
@@liliths-dog… 💀
Okay not going to lie when I first read this I laughed really hard
the cerveza crystal joke will probably be really outdated in a few months but so worth it for right now.
also good video
Yeah, we really debated including it at all, but there were so many glass bottles everywhere it was hard to resist
@@camwing Please continue, it was very very funny every time lmao
@@camwing the best one is when the zombie launched it and it's revealed the music is proximity based
..cereVEZA CRYstal..
@@idontfuckinknowdude this implies the bottle is playing the music
@@HOURHAK as it should
I not only want to see dead rat become a regular on Camwing, but a legitimate rat% speedrun for Half-Life: Alyx.
worlds first NYC%
I remember doing this when the game came out on my first playthrough, found the lil remy in the trash and kept him with me. My younger brother said it was worth making content out of but I never did. Seeing this video makes me so happy, and I wish I did make a recording back then. It was hilarious fun
Same, actually. I had a ton of fun trying to get him to the end of the game 4 years ago, so I figured it'd be a perfect birthday celebration. Honestly I'm glad I'm not the only one who tried this, because it's genuinely my favorite way to play now
6:00 That's the cutest thing I have ever seen
edit- 6:01 That's NOT the cutest thing I have ever seen
There is no way.
I saw this dead rat too and brought it with me the entire game as well. I talked to it. Named it Jerry. I Literally when playing that no one was stupid enough to do this but me. I was wrong.
Camwing and his iconic dead rat are always a delight in these videos
Wow, this video was such higher production quality than i was expecting from a smaller channel, and i mean that as a compliment haha. Amazingly put together with great voiceover, animation, and a nice clear premise. I really enjoyed this video man and i can't wait to see more in the future. With more like this you are bound to blow up soon, keep up the great work my man!
I highly recommend checking out his other videos, specially the open world traversal, limbo-likes, and heathcliff ones. I fell in love with the channel with all of them, and I'm still CRAVING MORE.
Wait a second, you mean to tell me that the intended way to play the game is the better way to play the game? Say it ain't so!
This is why some games are amazing you can just give yourself a whole new main quest that isnt the main game
I carried that darn Gnome Chomski clear through Half-Life 2. That's probably "better" than carrying a dead rat. Maybe. Well, I guess not.
well you are a caht
I did that too until I got to the car section and I just couldn't, too hard
As someone who doesn't own a VR Headset, I do want to own one for Hotdogs, Horseshoes and Handgrenades. It's essentially a "gun museum" type of game, where you have a bunch of accurately modeled real-world guns to play around with. What makes it so compelling for me is I don't want to own any firearms, but would love to mess around with them, and the idea of doing so in VR sounds fun. An extra note is that the game can include all sorts of guns, even ones that are very rare or expensive, so more people can get a better appreciation for them that normal shooters don't provide (due to liberties in design or function).
You can get a quest 2 for 200 and an off brand link cable for like 20 bucks rn. probably as cheap as its ever gonna be to get into VR.
@@baniakjr I am poor
"oh also, i generally try to keep this channel pretty PG, but half-life Alyx is an m-rated game with a fair amount of violence and disturbing imagery, so" - proceeds to shove dead rat into human corpse
This was the most wholesome relationship between a person and a rat I've ever seen, and the rat wasn't even alive. Truly an impressive, emotional story.
brain damage brian is the best name ive ever heard in a while
a hell of a video, 10/10
as someone who loves the work behind titles and thumbnails, the title is great! You expanded on "lets bring a rat through the entirety of HLA" into "heres why vr is better". Such a great idea!
holy crap, CreemSmile?
@@Glxch hi
When I saw that you had a 3d model for your “mascot” I knew you were one of *THOSE* TH-camrs…
*The ones I have to watch every video of.*
No matter how old I get, seeing a good model glitching out like your rat buddy will never not be funny
2:30 love the, "or the apple one, if your stupid."
5:55 LITTLE INFERNO MUSIC DETECTED
You know, I'm not sure how this proves VR is better, but I'm rooting for that Rat all the same.
Camwing is becoming a "video essays on digital hands" channel and I'm here for it
Huh
You're right
The cerveza cristál bit made me laugh out loud and I got my phone taken away (it's 2am)
3:52 "But can you do this!?" Jesus Christ I was not expecting a rat to be horrifically stretched out
What a funny yet horrifying moment
Great eding, cheesetastic adventure.
Loved the "Cerveca Cristal" flying by and fading out, made my chuckle.
16:10 That's actually one of my favourite lines in the game, because to Alyx the lightning thing really DOES look a lot like her D0g (pre-upgrades).
Alyx is one of my favorite games!
its a story telling masterpiece. Even if the story was simple. But every environment felt real, and it was so fun peaking around corners to shoot aliens, and solve puzzles. I cant go over every bit, but i spent more then a hundred hours in this 15 hours long game.
I do hope Valve will make more vr games like Alyx. Because they have the basics down pretty great
This was the video that brought to this Channel and I just finished binging every video and I am so glad I came across you!
I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this video! I look forward to every future project!
I lost it every time the rat spaghettified
You're doing an amazing job man. I happened to have seen 3 of your videos now (one of them was the satisfactory video). I gotta say, I had it well withing my mind that you must have at least 1M subs. Your editing is awsome and so is your animation, comedy, gameplay and pacing. I really think it's a matter of time before you hit 1M, and I doubt it will even take that long :)
Holy, your entire personality, editing style and narrative abilities are god damn amazing, instant all notifications enabled fooooor you :D
I don't like rewatching videos, but this one has been out for a month and I've watched it 6 times already. Nice job dude!!!!!!!!
6:00 that sounded so majestic
How DARE you make me tear up for a (long) dead rat?
Another perfect video. Always a delight when you upload.
This video is very well produced, camwing. Very well done. Bravo.
Good video
High production value
Nothing to complain about
Verdict: not enough subscribers
I did not know that you could kill Jeff. I just locked him in that trash compactor and left him for the next unfortunate sod that stumbled upon him
There are several more rats in the game, alongside the one you get after you break out of the transport for the first rat. I only know a few of where you can find these rats.
-Obviously, After you crash from the transport, you can get the one in the trash bin on the right.
-After you get off the train from Russell's lab, once you go down into the sewers there is a rat that scurries away at the bottom of the stairs, You can shoot it and carry 2 rats.
-In the place where you do your first multitool puzzle, there's a rat underneath the fence grating.
-In some Combine Interface puzzle "brain jars" (the things you rotate to get a laser through a hole in the Combine Interface, there are a select few models of these which consist of Brains, Circuits, and alive rats.
-There probably are a few more before you enter the QZ, i don't know where they are though
I'm without words... Your videos are amazing, I can only imagine how much work you put in each one of them, but you """only""" have 50k subscriber. I feel privileged to know you. Thanks for the quality you bring to this platform and gaming word.
Dude ur animation style is so goood
Stumbled in from Shorts, subbed after 5 minutes because I know what top tier content looks like. Good luck man. You're small now, but you'll blow up I'm certain.
Great video, keep up the good work!
This is my first video with this channel, and I must say I love how your sona looks and moves
I can't believe you got me with the cerveza cristal gag
Virtual Reality is dead in the water if the only thing it has going for it is one story game and a weaboo chatroom experience going for it.
Didn't expect to spend today watching camwing playthrough my favorite game franchise of all time with a dead rat, But I'm not complaining.
I tried to keep the companion cube in portal, I was not successful.
Who needs gnomes when you have rats?
I played the game for the first time recently (borrowed quest 2) and it was amazing
pro tip, you can pick up dust masks to equip to your face before jeff, keeping your hand free and stoping the cough
nice 3d model and d2 animation implementation :3
4:20 (nice lol) there's actually an addon on the workshop that replaces every green bottle in the game by a Cerveza Cristal
17:21 this is pure gold!
so underrated love this yt channel
Keeping it pg: carries around a dead rat. Adds up yep :D
3:53 i was caught so off guard when the rat just extended
"someone ate a bat" wait ozzy is touring again ??? ... oh that bat
i genuinley shouted at that cervesa cristal, now its time to watch the rest of the video in hopes there isnt another one
god fucking damnit
god fucking damnit
This game sucks. It’s so obvious there needs to be two rats for double handed rat% runs that it’s insane valve never considered this.
An unbelievable oversight from such a good studio
i love videos like this because they are so uniqe my fyp has just been "the BLANK of blank in 9-15 minutes"
Everywhere I go, cerveza cristal haunts me
I love Bob’s Burgers so I genuinely gasped when I heard one of the songs from the show being used 😭
I think you're the first person to successfully identify that song, well done
You made me gigle, well done
I completed the game carrying wooden crate with dozens of caned bugs, injectors and grenades since your wrist pockets can carry only 2 items. Where jump was involved, I tossed box and then picked up every single item.
this channel is so underrated
This video slaps so hard my guy
I’ve always loved the half life franchise. I wasn’t interested in VR. I wasn’t interested in HL:Alyx
Now I am. To do the run
4:55 looking forward to seeing how a whiteboard marker helps with rat transport.
i feel like VR as a whole was more destined for arcade titles rather than story games
"or the apple one, if you're stupid."
subscriber earned.
6:15 right here is when i realized the fibage theme from jackbox was playing
Im glad you were able to overcome the allegations and avoid the long arm of the law long enough to make a new video, great stuff keep it up!
Flashback to theDOO trying to pick a dead rat off the floor for close to an hour and carrying it across Halflife as well XD
HUH, can’t believe 2 of my favorite youtubers did the same kind of “challenge”
Every time a Cristal ad popped up, I collapsed giggling lmao
I did it too. I have a clip proving it, not uploaded, but I carried the rat along as well in one of my playthroughs. No else else knows, I think. Do not let my sacrifice be forgotten.
I absolutely did not expect cerveza cristal to make an appearance
I played it in VR and never had any regret. It was one of the best experiences in my life. I'm all for VR but I still wouldn't like if flatscreen would be dead in the future.
its confirmed, cam isnt tall, his head is just really tall
Anything with Rats gets my like.
I'd love if the rat was like soap in dusk where it makes enemies explode into gibs
7:51 I guess Alyx is a rat now lol.
Glad to see Halo 3 rat has lived on in a new medium
Imagine if they add an achievement to carry the rat to the end of the game just because of this video. I'm sure they would give it the same object interaction as the gnome so you can use the gloves on it at least.
Now this is how a game should be played
I did this same thing but with a bucket, top 5 gaming experience
holy crap i thought this guy had a couple hundred thousand subs wtf this is so high quality
“You’re my friend now, we’re having soft tacos later!”
On my first playthrough of HL:ALYX I carried the spoon from Russel’s lab, until around that place with the manhacks behind the chain gate, and an infested area with a ton of explosive barrels, that was a sad time, the spoon clipped through the floor and my save before it was too far back 😭
another youtuber called thedoo also did a rat% run but never finished it should absolutely be a speedrun category
Right next to his video I saw “Playing doom on rat neurons.”
i tried doing this late 2020 and gave up at the jeff chapter i’m very shocked you were dedicated to playing like this
Gonna have to come back to this later, but im loving it so far roughly half way in.
I uh, didnt make it past a bit where yoy need to crawl through a dark tunnel...
It was very dark.
Please let rat% become an actual thing that valve acknowledges.
