For those of you who dont know, this was an easter egg for part of an ARG that Chris Horn, a developer, put on using the game. The story is that Dr. Horn (Chris's self insert) figured out he was in a video game and was trying to build a portal with Dr. Junek to get out of it. The portal used a fuck ton of rare materials however so he disguised them in the budget as expenditure for Pizza and used pizzas to transport the materials. Dr. Stone and others got suspicious of Horn and started stealing his pizzas as a prank, unbeknownst to them the pizzas had Horn's precious materials with them. Thats why he's so pissed and paranoid about others stealing his pizza.

Standard source stuff. Kinda makes me nostalgic for when i played HL2 on my moms old ass desktop (Couldnt even run LEGO Star Wars due to Pixel Shader 2.0 not being supported, and the motherboard couldnt support a new GPU either lol). Happened a lot when things where loading. Small stuff.

Black mesa is the greatest remake in video game history to the point where I personally believe it simply just does it better than the original game, it sticks to the lore and even pays homage to future lore, and thats why black mesa will always be one of my favorite FPS games of all time, crobar interactive is incredibly talented and deserve all the recognition they get for making this game and putting their heart and soul into it :)
That was really wholesome if you ask me! It just gives us a little insight in what their life was in Black Mesa! That’s a cool Easter egg, my favorite one by far!

I can't believe I missed this. Good find.
MAN, I KNOW THIS IS LATE, BUT I ACTUALLY FOUDN THIS AWESOME EASTER EGG THROUGH THE BM (STEAM EDITION'S) SOUND FILES, WHILE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT. WHEN I FIRST EHARD IT, I THOUGHT THIS WAS SUPPOSE TO BE LOCATED IN THE OFFICES (NOT IN OFFICE COMLEX, BUT THE INDIVIDUAL ONES, WERE YOU GOTTA TURN ON THOSE LASERS, THE CHAPTER NAME IS NOT COMING TO ME FOR SOME REASON LOL). BUT ANYWAYS, I COULD NOT FIND IT, SO I REALIZED IT WASN'T THERE AND/OR I MISSED A REALLY HIDDEN SPOT, I WAS WONDERING WHERE THIS WAS AND WHY I COULDN'T/HAVE'NT FOUND IT YET, LOL! SO THANKS FOR POSTING IT MEANS A LOT. :)
P.S I LOVE THE ENDING IT'S THE BEST PART ABOUT THE MESSAGE. I CAN JUST SEE THE LOOK ON BARNEY'S FACE ONCE THE OTHER PERSON TOLD HIM "GUESS "WHO'S" IN THE VENTS!" XD! GOOD GOD, I'LL BET HIS JAW DROPPED TO AN ALL-TIME LOW HEHEHE XD! AND I'LL BET DR. FREEMAN HAD THE BIGGEST SMIRK SLOWLY GROW ON HIS FACE ONCE HE HEARD THAT ENDING. XD!
THOUGHT, I DO KIND OF FELT SORRY FOR THE INSANE DOC THOUGH ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE THAT HAD TO DEAL WIITH HIM.
I HATE TO COMPLAIN SINCE THE GAME IS SO GREAT ALREADY, BUT THINKING ABOUT THIS TINY INCIDENT NOW MAKES ME KIND OF WISH BM HAD A "SCENE"/SECTION BEFORE THE RESONANCE CASCADE WERE YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE VENTS TO BEAT BARNEY TO UNLOCK DR. KLEINER'S DOOR. GOD, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME, BUT I GUESS THAT'S WHY THIS EASTER EGGS HERE, SO IT'S JUST AS FUNNY! XD! FORGIVE MY SPELLING/GRAMMAR MISTAKES IF THERE ARE ANY. :)
excuse me but is your caps lock broken or something
@@hellothere-dw3sf NO, I ACTUALLY HAVE EYE ISSUES (A LOT) AND I TYPE LIKE THIS TO SEE THE LETTERS BETTER. :)
Its really not to read this thing without screaming it
You can play half life induction
@Cory Bernhardt LOL YEA, I GUESS SO, IT PAID OFF IN THIS CASE IF YOU ASK ME. XD!
4:46 Best part!
*Sets down his slice of pizza* What? I'm hungry
At least they didn't censor Barney with loud crashes.
I like how everyone just goes along with it
Nobody can move faster than Gordon Freeman in Black Mesa's ventilation system.
Interesting idea that barney and gordon race to get into liners office
l i n e r
liner
also alyx mentions it in episode 1
nice little easter egg, fleshes out barney and gordon's friendship more
I do have to wonder... what did management think about Gordon & Barney using the vents to get around? Did they even know? Or do the boys in Sector C keep those secrets, too?
Where they ask guess who's in the vents it's prolly Gordon as alyx says about how Gordon and barny would 'race' through vents
WTF!!?? The Gonarch has sounds from the cosmic silverback from cod Black Ops 3, Volatile from Dying Light, Mother Spinner from Resistance 2 and Widowmaker from Resistance 3!
I bet gordon had a real nice chuckle about this in his head
Barney and Gordons vent rivalry spans decades.
