No dude that's why I literally came back to re-watch this, I was reminded of how well Wayne makes Gordon seems like he's always having a nervous breakdown
I love how the premise of this is that Wayne is just playing a secret prototype version of the game with hyper-advanced ai, but the second he is in game, he *becomes* Gordon and suddenly has a son and graduated from M.I.T.
Wayne got so into it more people make fan content of it not being a game and gordon being naturally part of the story than the og concept, i adore it. 🤭
i mean the explanation wayne gave on stream was "i have to get in character to make the ai work", which worked well lore-wise for the initial bit of "oh yeah this is totally ai". production-wise it's just obviously better if wayne has a pretense that allows him to method act. hell, there are moments later in the series where wayne is stressed out of his mind irl over things going wrong behind the scenes and/or chat misbehaving and man he just masterfully channels that energy directly into gordon.
I really enjoy that Dr Coomer in this isn’t just a malfunctioning tutorial NPC, he feels like a tutorial NPC from a much more light hearted childrens game who’s somehow been implanted in a gruesome horror shooter and can still only react jovially
I like how this is the opposite of freemans mind. Instead of crazy asshole freeman going through the game, dude rolls like a Lovecraft protag, just horrified and bewildered constantly by people and world.
"it's okay I'm not human" and "tommy likes mean people that's why he talked to you" are such heavy foreshadowing sentences and yet at the time they were just jokes. Goddamn.
Gordon goes from "what a freak" to *I have only known Tommy for a day and a half but, if anything happened to him I would kill everyone in the room then myself.* by the end of of the series.
He got to know Tommy and realized he's just a 30 year old baby boy that needs to be protected at all costs. Plus he's the only one who didn't EXPLICITLY betray Gordon and/or displays some sort of super science super powers.
7:02 This one moment did so much to set the tone for the story and Benrey's character arc. It blows my mind that it was an accident. It was so perfect.
My take on Benrey is that he's an anti-piracy measure and the whole passport thing is a prompt for someone to look at a monkey island code wheel type thing to verify their copy of the game. Because he's self aware and hard-coded to prevent pirates from progressing normally, he becomes the antagonist. Should've bought the game, Wayne.
Since it was revealed that they were playing Half Life on Gmod, Benry's programming could have thought that they indeed pirated a game through another program.
More like people are dying and now the local mom and pop store got BBQ'd because people are stupid. Congrats, big media wins again and everyone else loses.
i love the fact that so many people are convinced this is real ai. honestly i’m impressed they managed to pull off looking like plausible advanced ai: able to have somewhat fluid conversations & solve problems but at the same time absolutely nonsensical & seemingly having a death wish with the amount of times they are killed in absurd ways
I actually thought it would be AI until I watched the 'behind the scene' videos. It's amazing how perfect this AI is played. Some parts looks scripted like for AI but some parts are just madness. There smart and stupid the same time, like AI would be. Such a great series.
Just Some Goblin With internet access it’s a meme. It’s a picture of a black hole taking earth and the caption was “wwyd in this situation” (like bruh you can’t do anything) but one guy commented “intervene” and someone replied “how are you gunna intervene?” Then he said “I’m just built different” it reminded me of Benrey

This is the funniest shit I've seen in a long time . Please make this into a series where Gordon has to guide these idiots through the whole game, it would be amazing!
@@wayneradiotv I can't wait!! I'm watching the whole recorded stream now, didn't realise you guys got up to We Got Hostiles. I assume you'll edit parts of this stream into the next TH-cam vid?
When I first saw this I thought Dr. Coomer was really a npc. Edit: can y’all fucking chill for a hot minute. Jesus fucking christ, it’s really easy. Let a person live as who they want to live, it won’t affect you.
"Get the soda, it will help you see faster!" I think by that, he meant process the things you see faster, like, you know a table is a table when you see it, 2x faster.
Looking back, I’m surprised that “You should have brought your passport, Gordon!” didn’t become one of the most iconic lines in the series. Seriously, it’s so friggin good.
Honestly that’s something that I would do while voice acting a character, is like have 4th wall breaking comments like “hey this reminds me of another game” or something like “wrong game dude, get with the.... *program* “ heheheh....
@@tagadhur_malaguld Doing that ruins the immersion of acting a character anyway. 4th wall breaks are SUPPOSED to surprise you, you need to be fully immersed into whatever show or movie you're watching, and then they need to surprise you. Doing it repeatedly, especially with Mr.Passport guy, ruins the immersion of the idea this guy had. Also, that's an awful 4th wall break, never break the 4th wall like "This reminds me of another game", thats just awful, and low effort. Wait for a moment whereupon you can make a genuine reference, and don't ever mention the reference, specifically just make the reference so as to allow people to come to the conclusion that you're referencing something else on their own. 4th wall breaks get old fast, not acting the part gets old fast.
As of today, this series is now four years old. So let's talk about this. I think that Half Life VR but the AI is self aware is a genuine showcase of the power of improv. As stated by wayne, everything in this series was not planned. Every piece of dialogue was made on the spot. And for people who (at least to my knowing) have no experience with acting, this is impressive. The ongoing story is super funny and creative, without even needing a plan. Most players didn't even know what there characters name was gonna be until they had to. It's incredible. This series is machinima at it's best. HLVRAI, even for how stupid it is, is improve at it's finest.
never seen it before im 4 minutes in and i want this to be a real mod in theory its possible we had other games do that already like GTA we can start slow with simple commands like come with me or stay shoot that etc
The whole passport thing is extra funny to me because i lost my passport a couple months ago and yesterday i finally found it tucked under one of my pillows, so every time they talk about passports, i look over to my desk and see mine just sittting there
Holly's Dr. Coomer has inspired a new form of self care for me. Whenever i'm too depressed to eat or get water, etc. I just announce, "Gordon, I'm Hungry/Thirsty/etc." And I keep doing that till i annyoy myself into taking care of myself. Thank y'all for all the laughs and thank y'all for the new self care method.
New idea/headcanon at 15:44 Gordon says, "Do you know who this guy is? I've never seen him on the job in my life." I think it was Benrey's first day, and that explains why he was so determined to get Gordon's passport. And that explains why the other guards didn't care about why Gordon didn't have his passport.
My favorite part is a 10:01, where Bubby is safe, away from the explosions, and then hops through the window, and freaks out about the explosions happening around him.
9:22 I played half-life today and during this part, I felt something was missing since I didn’t hear Tommy says “push it slower than molasses dripping of a spoon” lmfao
The person who acts Dr Coomer is definitely the most convincing. He feels like he has a few bugs as he repeats sentences and sticks with a tone of voice which sounds consistent every time. Edit: The ‘he’ I’m referring to is Doctor Coomer. I’m aware that Holly is female.
@@zizthefirst Regardless, I'm glad people are supportive of Holly, especially outside the Twitch chat. That's part of the reason why they had to get rid of it in later parts.
I like the idea that Black Mesa needs a passport to enter because it is considered not US soil as the US does not want to be involved with whatever the fuck they are doing. Black Mesa is in the country of Black Mesa
Imagine G-Man at the end of this glorious adventure: "Well met, Mr, Freeman. Your efforts to halt the, ah, invasion from Xen have my... clients interested in your... t-t-talents. *creepy inhale* While I would love to offer you... a spot of e-e-e-employment, a man who fails to bring his p-passport to work is... clearly unfit for such a p-position."
@@nostalgicfeeIs I mean, we've already met G-man in the first episode, where he phased through the wall and into the stairwell, only to transform into a low-poly version of himself behind a locked door before transforming back into his HL2 model in the hallway.
I just imagine Magnusson at the end being like: "Oh, and Freeman! If you pull this off, I might just forgive you for that debacle at Black Mesa. You know the one I mean... involving a certain *passport* ."
Almost all of this was improv, and according to Wayne, up until act 3 and 4 pretty much everything was unplanned. In conclusion, it was most likely accidental foreshadowing.
It’s a shame too. Bubby does technically have the most accurate scientist voice compared to the half life scientist NPCs which could lead to some good comedy if he chose himself a character that would fit with that, (one example: like only communicating in the pre recorded voice lines the original scientists used in his voice and the odd sentence). That would be unique and funny if done right. But as a character right now he never achieves his potential as he seems to his act like he wants to rush things along with no running gags or things that make him stand out.
Can we take a second to appreciate not only the great comedic timing of the cast but the editing too, like perfectly cut screaming and cutting off after a character says the darndest things? It’s almost professional editing you’d see in high-budget flicks. I love it. ❤
I love how they never made it not feel like he didn’t miss like a core aspect of the game. They always make it feel like he missed an important mechanic, and accidentally sequence broke his way into all this.
@@ClankyOtter i didnt mean it as if the whole series was unfunny . If you pay attention to my First comment a said that i watched the whole series eight times. I also said its still good
I cant help rewatching this series again and again. It's still so breathtaking to watch Wayne and RTVS band in their roles roam around the Black Mesa, trying to make this time as memorable and enjoyable as possible rather than actually survive the Resonance Cascade. And it's always so heartwarming. Wish I had that many friends to recreate this. And I look forward to the next part of this adventure, HLVRAI2.

Just about everything Bubby said was incredible.
mine is "I believe the kids say, you "Pogged" it." at 24:24
"Get the soda, it will help you see faster!"
I think by that, he meant process the things you see faster, like, you know a table is a table when you see it, 2x faster.
9:58 "YOU SHOULD'VE BROUGHT YOUR PASSPORT, GORDON"
for me it’s between “grab the cola it makes you see faster!” or “mmb... bubby.”
still love Bubby telling Gordon to push the cart and nothing will go wrong and then screaming WHAT DID YOU DO? WHAT DID YOU DO???
it really goes a long way that source engine voice chat sounds like half life 1 processed voice audio
All the lip-smacking sound effects sounded like they had been in the game all along.
Wayne always sounds like he’s either on the border of laughing or the border of crying through this whole series
Yes .
he mostly is
This really managed to capture the spirit of old 2008 Gmod machinimas

Hello, main account!
Looking back, I’m surprised that “You should have brought your passport, Gordon!” didn’t become one of the most iconic lines in the series. Seriously, it’s so friggin good.
"I did have a wife, but they took her in the divorce" simply overshadowed it
@@lone_stick I quote that on a daily basis.
"I did have a wife, but they took her in the divorce."
"They took your wife in the divorce?"
@@rynnex "HELLO GORDON! Yes."

Best line in this entire series.

this is just incredible. I almost died from laughter and the concept is just so original. I love this so much.

Hello Gordon!
Ikr
God, I know right?
19:21 “pick up that can” “wrong game dude” *fourth wall breaking and future telling*
Lol
Honestly that’s something that I would do while voice acting a character, is like have 4th wall breaking comments like “hey this reminds me of another game” or something like “wrong game dude, get with the.... *program* “ heheheh....
@@tagadhur_malaguld Doing that ruins the immersion of acting a character anyway.
4th wall breaks are SUPPOSED to surprise you, you need to be fully immersed into whatever show or movie you're watching, and then they need to surprise you.
Doing it repeatedly, especially with Mr.Passport guy, ruins the immersion of the idea this guy had.
Also, that's an awful 4th wall break, never break the 4th wall like "This reminds me of another game", thats just awful, and low effort.
Wait for a moment whereupon you can make a genuine reference, and don't ever mention the reference, specifically just make the reference so as to allow people to come to the conclusion that you're referencing something else on their own.
4th wall breaks get old fast, not acting the part gets old fast.
Jeesh, was just saying an idea I’d do, thanks for the info, but ya really didn’t need to explain everything, just a tip ;).
That is my favorite part
As of today, this series is now four years old. So let's talk about this. I think that Half Life VR but the AI is self aware is a genuine showcase of the power of improv. As stated by wayne, everything in this series was not planned. Every piece of dialogue was made on the spot. And for people who (at least to my knowing) have no experience with acting, this is impressive. The ongoing story is super funny and creative, without even needing a plan. Most players didn't even know what there characters name was gonna be until they had to. It's incredible. This series is machinima at it's best. HLVRAI, even for how stupid it is, is improve at it's finest.
I MISSED THE ANNIVERSARY NOOOOOOOOO
never seen it before im 4 minutes in and i want this to be a real mod in theory its possible we had other games do that already like GTA we can start slow with simple commands like come with me or stay shoot that etc
The whole passport thing is extra funny to me because i lost my passport a couple months ago and yesterday i finally found it tucked under one of my pillows, so every time they talk about passports, i look over to my desk and see mine just sittting there
COinCiDenCe? I THiNk NoT
That's funny
sittting?
"he's incasing him in a cocoon!"

HELLO, GORDON!
HELLO- beciarfull gorden
Holly's Dr. Coomer has inspired a new form of self care for me. Whenever i'm too depressed to eat or get water, etc. I just announce, "Gordon, I'm Hungry/Thirsty/etc." And I keep doing that till i annyoy myself into taking care of myself. Thank y'all for all the laughs and thank y'all for the new self care method.
Look Gordon, A rope! We can use this to tra- HELP ME GORDON
(this is a joke dont take it srsly pls)
Good job dude
That doesn't sound healthy, but at least you are taking care of yourself.

Alternate title: Gordon is having a mental breakdown while Benrey is just trying to get his passport
Thats not the title....
@HelpfulUser8423 dingus alert
@@HelpfulUser8423that's why he said "alternate"
New idea/headcanon at 15:44 Gordon says, "Do you know who this guy is? I've never seen him on the job in my life." I think it was Benrey's first day, and that explains why he was so determined to get Gordon's passport. And that explains why the other guards didn't care about why Gordon didn't have his passport.
This should be confirmed as canon because it makes so much more sense. Unfortunately, its head canon for now.
That would make sense since (spoiler alert) He's a demigod
Explain why everyone else has their passport then
My favorite part is a 10:01, where Bubby is safe, away from the explosions, and then hops through the window, and freaks out about the explosions happening around him.
LOL
Bubby made a poor choice that day
@@velvet1371 He really did.
"What are we arming our guards with? What was that weapon?!"

9:22 I played half-life today and during this part, I felt something was missing since I didn’t hear Tommy says “push it slower than molasses dripping of a spoon” lmfao
The person who acts Dr Coomer is definitely the most convincing. He feels like he has a few bugs as he repeats sentences and sticks with a tone of voice which sounds consistent every time.
Edit: The ‘he’ I’m referring to is Doctor Coomer. I’m aware that Holly is female.
It must be done.
*she
Edit: okay maybe not.
Edit 2: holy schools did a guy with 23k subs write a transphobic comment rn?
She*
But yes she's insane at having a consistent voice
Well I think the 'he' here is referring to the character, not the VA
@Gryff Maybe.
@@zizthefirst Regardless, I'm glad people are supportive of Holly, especially outside the Twitch chat. That's part of the reason why they had to get rid of it in later parts.
Benry: I'm not human

Or as Benry would say, "Oh no.." in a disinterested voice.
Never look at the comments before the video
I like the idea that Black Mesa needs a passport to enter because it is considered not US soil as the US does not want to be involved with whatever the fuck they are doing. Black Mesa is in the country of Black Mesa
*Everything starts exploding*
"You should have brought your passport Gordon!"
XD
Passports save lives
for three playcoins i can tell you where your passport is
Imagine G-Man at the end of this glorious adventure:
"Well met, Mr, Freeman. Your efforts to halt the, ah, invasion from Xen have my... clients interested in your... t-t-talents. *creepy inhale* While I would love to offer you... a spot of e-e-e-employment, a man who fails to bring his p-passport to work is... clearly unfit for such a p-position."

Spoiler alert for Act 3:
Gordon does meet G-Man before the start of Surface Tension.
@@nostalgicfeeIs I mean, we've already met G-man in the first episode, where he phased through the wall and into the stairwell, only to transform into a low-poly version of himself behind a locked door before transforming back into his HL2 model in the hallway.

2:54 “it’s okay... i’m not human” holy shit the accidental foreshadowing for benrey HAHA
Wasn't accidental.
Benrey is all knowing
I was thinking that the whole time of act 4
i thought it was just a random joke
Almost all of this was improv, and according to Wayne, up until act 3 and 4 pretty much everything was unplanned. In conclusion, it was most likely accidental foreshadowing.
the first time i watched this i literally couldn't tell Dr Coomer wasn't apart of the game. The Voice actress did a great job!

Half-Life: Gordon Doesn't Have His Passport

*ALTERNATE TITLE: SKYNET IS BEGGINING*
BRUH I WAS JUST WATCHING THAT VIDEO~
Benrey: refused to leave Gordon alone
Coomer: HELLO GORDON
Tommy: Mind of a child
Bubby: Completely forgot his name
Luke Beadles Gordon: *Having a fucking aneurysm*
Tommy is a child, you got that wrong, and Dr. Coomer is a god amongst men.
Tommy is 36.
It’s a shame too. Bubby does technically have the most accurate scientist voice compared to the half life scientist NPCs which could lead to some good comedy if he chose himself a character that would fit with that, (one example: like only communicating in the pre recorded voice lines the original scientists used in his voice and the odd sentence). That would be unique and funny if done right.
But as a character right now he never achieves his potential as he seems to his act like he wants to rush things along with no running gags or things that make him stand out.
Great team...
It's just so heartwarming to see Dr. Coomer and Gordon Freeman just greet each other like good friends.
Hello Gordon! That line!😂
And also that line, you should have brought your passport GORDON!!!
Hello Gordon :D
I believe Coomer was the only character who was actually discussed before the stream and not made up last minute, so wayne already knew his name
Can we take a second to appreciate not only the great comedic timing of the cast but the editing too, like perfectly cut screaming and cutting off after a character says the darndest things? It’s almost professional editing you’d see in high-budget flicks. I love it. ❤
I kept losing my shit throughout the video but those random 'HELLO GORDON' screams from Coomer just killed me, god, this is beyond perfection

Wish I had that many friends to recreate this.
And I look forward to the next part of this adventure, HLVRAI2.

You know most of the people in the chat were doing a bit right? When people asked they’d keep insisting it’s AI to keep the bit going
