"How long can it possibly take to learn SFM" he said. "It can't be that hard." He said. "This will only take me a month or two" He said.

Voice over work done by Mike Hillard of Black Mesa fame. Go check out his website it's neat. (onlyintheory.com/)

Also I forgot to say it in the video but thank you as well to all the kind people in the maplabs discord for helping me with figuring out the hammer editor.
Because youtube has now started scanning descriptions for song titles I can't just post a list but if you were to replace all all the # symbols with A's you'd get the songs. (FILL THIS IN LATER FUTURE JOLLY)

I may have slightly under estimated how long it takes to learn to use SFM and the Hammer editor.
Also a question I'll answer pre-emptively:
Q: Didn't you already play this?!
A: Technically yes, 8 years ago I did "play" this but to be honest those old videos were mostly just me no clipping to the mildly entertaining parts while watching youtube in the background. All my reactions in this are genuine, I had basically zero recollection of this mod. The only parts I remembered clearly were the lift falling down, bolder at the start of the training and the end of the sky tower. All half life mods have basically blended together in my head as a sort of amorphous soup at this point.
Also if you're wondering about all the doors I didn't try and open or places I seemed not to explore you've got to remember I had chat guiding me for most of this. I did explore way more than is show in the video but I do a lot of editing to make things look seamless.
HES BACK
@@OpposingFork😐
Bro i knew it was weird you beating this
3:26 its just a really big birthday candle, don't worry about it.
Welcome back
Jolly: Minimizes use of animated subtitles to produce videos faster
Also Jolly: Takes a year to learn SFM to produce fully animated scenes instead
He also learned Hammer and dedicated a lot of that time to editing the video.
Actual stonks, cuz he learned some new skills in the process.
Also he can make porn now
@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 While that is cool, it isnt exactly a marketable skill
@@GamePilLP If he is making money from this, yes it is.
I didn't even realize it was Jolly who did those edits. I thought they were original part of a mod.
HE FINALLY REMEMBERS
HIS BLOODY PASSWORD
The Star Citizen of TH-cam content :)
RIGHT?! I LITTERALY CHECKED HIS CHANNEL YESTERDAY TO NOTHING AND I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD THEN THIS GUY DOES THIS!
@@superman91111111bro he has a twitter account where he posts updates😭😭😭
@@superman91111111 same here XD i thought he was eaten by some Australian animal.... or just an Australian ;D
I was literally thinking yesterday "sad Jolly doesnt make videos anymore... Hope he's doing fine at least"
I liked the part where Jolly spent 5 minutes trying to get past the moving train only to destroy the train making the tunnel explorable only to lose interest and never check it out.
Yes.
Yeah that was pretty disappointing
And later he finds the secret under the speed test, which told him exactly how to complete the rail maze and forgot about it 😂
ADHD moment
For that scene I was instantly reminded of the Blood 2 review from Civvie11
To quote:
"Last time someone to kill him on a train, he killed the train"
i like to think that this mod is set in a black mesa that wasnt nuked and where everyone just hunkered down and continued doing their thing despite the earth being completely besieged by combine forces
Black Mesa in the “Bought out by Aperture Science” timeline

I'm baffled how most of the comments are about Jolly being alive or how this video is good for sleeping. I just watched the whole thing for a second time and still can't believe how much effort and time you would put just to showcase a half-life mod. It is a true love letter to modding scene and respect to creator. Those SFM bits fit so well and felt cozy and nostalgic, like they would be taken from actual mod cutscenes or a trailer. Chill stream atmosphere and game focused commentary are what makes it simple yet amusing and proofs that talented people don't need a ton of editing to be entertaining. Thank you very much for all the time and love you put into this masterpiece.
I mean, it's his first video in over a year. Like, yeah the vid's great and has just some excellant quality in it and like, the moments of just sheer comedy in the video segments is great. But it's still just nice to say that we're glad he uploaded.
You underestimate the immense amount of editing going on here.
@@LtSprinkulz It's just his twitch vod, but with subtitles...
@@sanitylost4271 As a video editor, that statement couldn't be further from the truth. It's highly chopped up, has intermittent SFM segments (which themselves have quite a bit of editing going on,) has music layered on top for some segments, timers added for some segments, and the subtitles are manually tracked in 3d space for on-screen NPCs, which sometimes have masking to make them blend into the environment, or are edited to have special effects like for the hologram which looks like a custom effect that has to be manually tracked as well, meaning it's animated _frame by frame._
You are mistaking editing for "camera cuts every two seconds."
This is editing done right, it takes skill, it's time consuming, and chances are that 99% of people (like you) aren't going to notice it because it's subtle.
Don't take it for granted.
@@LtSprinkulz OK sorry, that was rude from my part, I thought he spent about 95% of time on sfm animations and completely forgot he tries his best to make subtitles look gorgeous.
I adore that even the narrator guy sounds like he's been working on this video for over a year.
bro's like a Dollar General half life scientist
should've just done sentence mixing if he was gonna take that long smh
@@imploreyoutoreconsider5092 Because the narrator IS the scientist from Black Mesa Source
@@ikahanung2154 If thats true, that would be crazy
@@2DaysOld it's Mike Hillard, check the description
HOOOOOW HOW DID ALL THE SCIENTIST LINES IN THE AQUATIC MAZE SECTION FIT SO PERFECTLY. EVEN EDITED THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
:D yea I noticed as well but no one talked about it! The ai is listening!
10 years of playing half life
that part was so funny
@pizzawithbuck6982 only 10? Rookie numbers, gotta get those numbers up haha@
For anyone who wants to try this mod but is put off by the tram car maze that Jolly got stuck on for an hour, here's some advice for completing it (relatively) painlessly:
1) the code Jolly finds at 1:32:17 is actually the sequence of turns you need to make to reach the exit. Only the intersections that allow you to change directions count.
2) if you'd rather not remember the code, there's an easier way to keep track of where to go: whenever you reach an intersection **always** change the direction. If I'm not mistaken, this will always put you in the right direction. If it doesn't, mindlessly doing this is still a foolproof strategy, as going the wrong direction will simply loop you back around.
3) despite what the narrator says, there's nothing stopping you from parking the tram right next to the button (and therefore, on the tracks that are supposed to shift). Doing so just causes your tram to course-correct as soon as it starts moving again, immediately locking onto whichever track you've set it to regardless of which one it started on. Doing this is a good way to avoid the many falling deaths and electrocution damage.
4) upon entry and exit of the maze, set the tram to go slow, as this will significantly reduce the odds of the physics glitching out and making you take damage when the tram turns 90 degrees vertically
Do you know if economy mode in the maintenance room turns off the electrocution damage of the track allowing you to scout out your route?
@@CowCommando I never ended up finding that secret, so I don't know, but I'd assume that's what it does.
@@CowCommando It's been a while since I've played, but from what I recall yes. I'll double-check with the official walkthrough and confirm.
EDIT: Yep. The walkthrough is in german, but I translated and confirmed that economy power turns off the electric damage.
@@YesterdaysMinder Thanks for the follow-up.
The easiest way to get through the tram car maze is to pay attention and if you see a button immediately stop the tram and go and press it, you need to press every button once to reach the end, also be sure to hop on the front of the train once you see the climb to the end and be careful if you hear the jumping sound being spammed as you'll take massive fall damage if you let it go on for too long.
I love how this mod has some of the most visually impressive and satisfying set-pieces made in Goldsource.
And it's in THIS MOD.
echoes win for best set piece in gold src ngl
Echoes is quite literally PEAK of Gold Source visuals
Fun fact: Both this mod and Echoes require max_edicts to be raised to prevent a crash. In HC2 the crash occurs while trying to load the tram maze. (EDIT: The 25th anniversary patch raises max_edicts by default, so this now only applies to the legacy builds.)
This mod that would filter most people out in the first hour.
I always had a fascination with the way the set pieces are built in GoldSrc ever since playing a lot of custom maps in Team Fortress Classic so this mod in particular got my interest to put up with how unforgiving it was.
The reactor especially was the most impressive for how realistic it looked compared to the actual Half-Life franchise.
things i enjoyed throughout this video
6:02 the left Barney’s text showing even at the least visible angle
25:35 the absurd text masking on the bars
28:15 the flashlight affecting the text’s brightness
35:30 the entirety of this psrt
There is just an inhuman amount of effort in these subtitles.
Who asked pizznitch 😂😂😂
It approaches SovietWomble-levels of detail, which is amazing.
The amount of time it took the dev to make this map is equivalent to the amount that it took for Jolly to make this vid. Yet both are hilariously funny
First a new Duck Song, then a new Sam O'Nella video, now you've returned. This weekend has been amazing.
Wait a new duck song???
@@theencolony5595 yup. The Duck Song 4 came out yesterday. First one in... I think 13 years.
@@infinty_yt there was one for last christmas
@@nnikitov57 i meant a normal one, not a special kind. The last regular Duck Song was 13 years ago

This was absolute comedy GOLD. Normally when I watch a video, especially one this long, it gets a bit overplayed and kind of old. With this I literally had to stop about four times because I was laughing so hard, I couldn't breathe and it hurt. Thank you Jolly for this amazing production!!! Sorry your pain causes me such joy.
Thank you for the kind words :)
@@JollyWangcore who is this person
watched this video in 144p, great job
15:45 the image of gordon freeman jumping onto a spinning saw and just rotating while trying to keep balance is really funny to me
wrong timestamp dude
@@noahomar7393 thanks
"Please set video to 1440p for an optimal learning experience."
me: sets to 144p
accurate.
You fit right in with Black Mesa
Me who watches most videos at 144p. Pretty accurate
he got that Jollyvision
My Ipad only sets youtube video quality to 1080p. So I cannot get the optimal learning experience
@@SpencerAndZekeHarveyunlucky, my iPad lets me go past the limits.
>Jolly video drops
>It's straight heat
>HD models
My hot take is the HD models are vastly superior. The one thing gearbox nailed.
(not the PS2 ones though they're hideous)
He prefers the HD pack, cope.
@@JollyWangcore you're wrong i am right
@@xlelightthen go make youre own video
@@neonryder8897 i will make a 10 minute essay on why this video is so bad and point out how jolly manipulated the barney AI to look bad
1:25:28 When he made text above the scientist explode out when he got diced in the turbine in editing as a special effect is amazing. totally cool you went through the effort to do that it looked like it came from the game!
Shoutout to Jolly for not using AI voices, and instead getting a chad to do the voices for this thing. We love to see it.
The voice of some of the scientists from the Black Mesa remake, no less!
That's what all content makers should do!
@@TheManinBlack9054 when you can*
some people don't have such contacts or money to do it
This is absolutely one of those cases where an AI voice would have been acceptable, given this whole thing is a one man show, which frankly makes going to extra miles to get a proper VA *rad*.
@@Detahramet The video didn't *need* a VA to do this, though. At worst, Jolly could've just done an impression himself, scuffed as it might be. Using other people's likeness without consent shouldn't be seen as acceptable, especially in a production that'll likely earn money. If a VA is okay with AI? Go ham! But we're far too quick to assume they all are.
i love how the npcs seemingly respond to jolly
It's like Twitch chat donating to vtubers. Perfectly timed.
the part around the 36 minute mark has me _cackling_
hazard course 2 but the AI is self aware
Respect for going out of your way to learn SFM. You’ve done a really nice job already.
The animation is simple, but it came out great despite of that!
He learned SFM for this?
yes@@Salithin
I don't watch Twitch and not a fan of unedited streams, so thank you to those who do love them supporting Jolly live on the regular. Because my goodness do I love these edited videos and happy anytime there's a return to youtube.
Jolly is a great entertainer and excellent editor. The man is an expert of the cut, whether it thinking about the overall flow or perfect comedy timing. The subtitles, the SFM additions, the music. It's invisible work but Jolly does it so damn well and I appreciate all these videos because of that work, elevating the piece.
I mean I just watched a movie length piece and felt entertained throughout.
this video has the quality of a 10 minute once a month one but every time i check the time theres so much more left
So much more jolly suffering, incompetence and misplaced confidence
I love it
57:40 Wait, that's.. that's the Barney that's actually there, cut in half, on that obstacle. That attention to detail is incredible.
im so glad you replayed this, hazardous-course is one of my favorite videogame mods of all time. so much personality and care was put into this mod, its nothing like anything ive ever seen in other videogame mods. missed you jolly
my favorite part of the mod is the environmental worldbuilding of the black mesa facility. how it goes from a carbon copy of the initial hazard course chambers to completely original chambers that feel like they would fit inside black mesa. its all so well made
I also absolutely love the attention to detail that black mesa constantly manufacture health and charger stations in a onsite factory because of how they malfunction and stop working when you fully drain them
Cant wait till you diiscover others like doom mods
I LIKE CRACK LIFE CAMPAIGN MODE
@@thundercockjackson crack life's humor is so outdated now but the campaign is still so much fun to play through. i agree with you
6:10 Jolly actually makes a scientist scream out of surprise x)
IT SOUNDED SO ACCURATE LOL
I appreciate the amount of time you took to properly mask/occlude the scientist and Barneys floating text behind the bars
I swear these scientists may as well be self aware at times with the perfectly timed lines
All those SFM bits... man, I thought they were part of the mod until it mentioned adding music for the viewer's sake. Great job on this one, man.
same
HE LIVES
It's great to have you back Jolly! I've missed the well edited boobery of this channel.
Hehe boobery
I'm glad we've come full circle. It's the mod that introduced me to the channel, and I'm so happy to see it again after over 8 years.
35:30 that whole part IS crazy, UP until you leave thé room your having a full blown conversation with the scientist and the guard, it's really crazy how well that works
I love how the secrets all make the challenges easier but not trivial - it's clear a lot of love went into this mod! Loved the SFM segments as well, they really tied the whole thing together
Why does this give me a sense of deja vu? I feel like I saw the first parts before.
Edit: nvm, saw the jolly comment
WHEN WE MOST NEEDED HIM
funny to admit I kept checking to see if any new videos had came out
even though I have all notifications on 🔔
this being a replay after you've forgotten the map is fascinating cause it actually shows how far you've come both in editing, source game skills, and also mental fortitude. :)
6:09
One of the best Dr. Kliner impressions I’ve ever heard.
I like to imagine Gordon walking through the test chambers constantly talking about a "chat" talking to him and all the other scientists just looking at him talking to nothing like a crazy person.
The subtitles glitching around with the hologram, is a very nice detail!
as somebody who loves editing in those types of subtitles (lacking masking and 3D transforms, but I do do the 2D motion tracking by hand), I know that took a hot minute. Even if you used motion tracking software to do it for you, still things like masking and the 3D rotation are not easily automated. Also, it's _really_ nicely timed with the speaking, great job on that!
as a longtime viewer this is an absolutely wonderful evolution of your content, your sfm's are well-shot, especially for beginner work and they lend themselves to the editing very well
The Cutest little Chunk of a Mascot
So Jolly
Those scientist lines in the secret above the water maze are so perfectly timed it is beautiful.
Great description Jolly "(FILL THIS IN LATER FUTURE JOLLY)" 🤣
He didnt
Holy fuck no wonder this took a whole year.
The wait was worth it tho
him falling down the lift shaft alone took him 6 months to clear XD
and he still has what is basically a mount everest on steroids to climb
Holy shit this is so hilarious and amazing. Feels like a perfect mix of classic jolly with all the editing, alongside the new live commentary, and the whole training video segments with the actual scientist are peak. Amazing job man
He took an eternity to drop a video but it was worth all the wait, this is by far Jolly best produced video ever.
For those trying to get through the underwater maze:
F: Forwards
L: Left
R: Right
B: Backwards
D: Down
U: Up
Instructions given at every intersection (e.g. if you're coming up on a T intersection and are meant to move forwards, I will give an F instead of just skipping it) and every turn. Orientation after moving U or D will be given relative to how you entered the vertical tunnel (e.g. if you were facing North as you swam into the tunnel, then moved U or D, for the next command, F would be North, L would be West, R would be East, and B would be South). Instructions grouped by floor.
Middle (starting) floor: R, L, L, R, D,
Lower floor: F, L, R, R, R, L, R, U,
Middle floor: R, R, F, R, U,
Upper floor: R, R, F, L, R, R, F, L, D,
Middle floor: L, L, L, R, L.
If you're having trouble remembering, just memorize this mnemonic:
RLLRDFLRRRLRURRFRURRFLRRFLDLLLRL
Good luck!
I am impressed by the quality of writing in the SFM intermissions. You are still as good as I remember you being.
jolly is really following the "Quality >>>>>> quantity" plan, and i f*cking love it
This video is the last thing I expected for his return. Thanks for giving me PTSD of this mod.
Also good job with the SFM stuff, I'd say all that learning was worth it :)
Dude the editing in this is impeccable. Even down to the text wavering for the Black Mesa hologram glitches.... Absolute banger of a video. Hope to see more high quality stuff like this from you!!
The last thing I expected was looking through my notifications and actually seeing you upload... Even though TH-cam notified me 5 days late.
This made my day much better. Thank you.

I'm more impressed by the perfect masking job at 25:38.
THE KING! I was just binging your older vids the other day and absolutely adore your editing style, it’s clearly improved even more!
The single most impressive thing of all these videos is Jolly's dedication to funny subtitles. Those behind the doors at 25:38 got me good
2 hours? 2 HOURS?! Actually I missed your vids, gonna watch this one to its fullest
If this doesn’t end up being the most viewed video on your channel, I’ll be mighty surprised. Solid work.
i was happy to see you succeed with that KZ course thinking "wow what a rollercoaster of emotions" and then i saw its only at 1/3 of the vid. oh no
35:28 The npc responds accurately to what you say!that was the first nonprogrammed NPC-Human conversation

This is some of the most effort I have seen Jolly put in a video and in my opinion, this was worth it. Keep up the great work, and for quality like this, I can wait a year for the next one. (Note: I actually did enjoy the video and am not just teasing you)
Jolly is like the 4th channel I follow in the past week that's returned after several months with a feature-length video project
The effort put into both this video and this mod amazes me.
Holy shit he's back, I actually thought something had happened.
Fantastic video. Glad to see he's still in Half Life mod hell.
Jolly streams on Twitch on a fairly regular basis, FYI.Occasionally, he even plays normal videogames.
@@Volthoom I don't watch Twitch anymore because of excessive ads, but I'm happy to hear that he's at least active over there.
Jolly, your old video on Hazardous Course 2 was what led me to your channel in the first place... and what convinced me to take on the course myself. I'm delighted to see you do the same, for real this time.
Aint no way, Jolly finally did a new vid! Thank you charmander god!
So the legends are true. Jolly actually finished the video.
I love the classical music segments. Its like watching a fool solve problems. Welcome home ya lovable fool
Okay, who else thought the SFM bit at the start was part of the mod itself?
Jolly reaaly did go an extra miles and above for us.
Sky high production value
Missed ya Jolly
After a long wait the man did it, the determination to do the SFM work while following up with the vod is something to be proud of.
Love this way of content even your old way you did it jolly!
Keep having fun with your games and community, we the community respect your content!😊
God I love the work you put into editing the text behind the bars (and in general)
1:48:00 where Jolly realizes he was the Barney all along.
I also like how Black Mesa uses multiversal travel for something relatively mundane, while Aperture uses it to scam literally every other universe they can.
The wait was absolutely worth it, this is one of my favorite videos of yours ever.
Not only is the map fucking hilarious, with the constant unfair traps and something breaking or falling apart every minute. But your reactions and the... Entertaining, attempts at some of the harder sections, were comedy gold.
Welcome back, Jolly.
The bloody legend has returned!
Welcome back, pro-gamer!
well this is only mildly insane
welcome back to youtube
Jolly, that was amazing. Excellent work with the sfm sections!
Well worth all the effort that went into this, I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. Having some experience in SFM myself, it's no small feat what you managed to accomplish. The writing and scenes for the SFM moments fit perfectly and made the whole thing even better. Thank you for the joy & laughs, the Barney obby was my favorite part.
Jolly disappeared for over a year and suddenly returns whipping out SovietWomble-level of effort into editing
this is the exact high quality of editing that this mod deserved. great job jolly
omg, i remember watching you during some rough times in 2017. Today i suddenly got a notification of your upload, those memories of watching you suddenly rushed in, idk why it got me bit emotional. Anyways Hope you are doing well buddy ❤.
i've been kinda silently hopign you'd do this for a while and man am i glad to see it and also the nauseating amount of effort you put into the subtitles
wallah i notice the SFM animations too and goddamn 🌋
the SFM sections were really good. great comedic timing, and their tone matched the mod so well i thought they were part of it
the text shattering when someone died after saying something also made me laugh every time
This is so damn good, Jolly. I can smell all the hard work you have put to make these amazing animations alongside the voicelines. This needs more recognition for sure, truly a masterpiece! I seriously watch it pretty much everyday and laugh a lot, the Barney babysitting is the most hilarious section to me. Keep it up my boy, much love ❤
Love all the SFM bits so many small details that add so much, but so easy to miss.
HOLY SHIT
Glad to see you back!
Holy shit, Jolly's alive.
Hearing and seeing all the teasers during streams and VODs it's finally here... The day be truly blessed!
Finally, a labyrinth puzzle more obtuse than Daggerfall's dungeons.
IT'S HERE
Good to have you back jolly!
HES BACK
it doesnt matter how long he is gone for his fans will always be here waiting for him its good your back jolly ❤
This was absolutely amazing! Great editing!
Can you string all the animations together into one video?
bro doesnt know how calming his videos are, nice to have you back buddy. you dont know what you do for people!
