I like how they start off with the visual inspiration for black mesa. If you watched the previous no clip documentary, you will know why this hits different.

I thought it was going to have any hint whatsoever, however small, of a future project. The closest was gabe saying he doesn't look back.

It’s insane that Romero might have been the reason Half Life happened

My favourite part of Valve lore in this was the company in-joke behind the microwave gag being the genesis of Valve's soup menu today.

39:33 - 40:05 Easily going into one the Hall of Fame of the funniest (when out of context) Tyler McVicker moments. Jokes aside, this was a dope stream, man.

Just finished watching. It's funny re-watching it with Tyler and realizing that we paused at many of the same points to geek out! I'm grateful for this documentary, because it showed that as amazing as the game itself was, the people behind it are the giants whose backs the industry stands upon today.

Those early discs need to be submitted to the Internet Archive.

Fun fact: Grab the crowbar at the end of the HL webseite and smash some enemies. There is even a achivement for this. Awesome Valve!

Glad they did this

"The wall is ignoring me. I'm getting a narcissistic injury." -Gabe

Simply amazing! What a fantastic gift, a very well-done documentary!

I get that Gabe doesnt like to look back. But holy shit is it worth looking back in the case of Valve.

Mike said that they both wanted to leave and found a game company but independently. So it's both of their ideas really

Wouldn't it be funny if some of these original Valve employees being together again at Valve HQ sparks something magnificent?

Tyler has a very nice day, doesn't he That's a lot of amazing infomation

imagine if we get one of those for half life 2

1:13:30 - Funny to hear it from him. Around 10-15 years ago I remember being attacked on some forums for daring to suggest that Valve had no idea who G-man really was, didn't know his origin story and origin details about alien civilizations etc. They thought I was ridiculous implying Valve would be coming up with answers on the go and it's not all sitting fully explained in their drawers, waiting for future games to be told. Even Tolkien had no idea the ring would be a huge deal when he was writing the Hobbit and he is often used as an example of the masterful world building with everything planned ahead. To be honest I don't like this common method for mystery writing that you don't need solid answers, just keep asking questions. This is why the LOST tv show broke down, despite creating amazing mystery at the beginning. Or why AoT was such an amazing success of storytelling, because it was so well planned from the beginning. Half-Life is great and the trick clearly worked here, but I have huge respect for writers who don't take this easy route of "secrets being better than answers" and put a ton of effort to have most of big answers actually written down.

Regie: "The game is fun" Gabe: "Bitch, why tf do I want realism. Real life sucks, get that shit out of my game"

Starts at 5:53

I wish Valve took interviews and made updates to other games on their anniversaries, HL 2 and the episodes.

Realistically, what is the likelihood of Geoff Keighley releasing those discs? How possible is it at this point?

Most importantly we got to see the real Mr Coomer

How do I apply this update? I keep opening Half Life from steam and I can't see the changes.

Cool stuff

um I just wanna ask and this is not related to the video but how did you set your windows UI into xp UI?

The immense discounts on all Half-Life games, including Alyx. That is leading up to something for sure man, they're bringing something soon. It's suspicious hah

OMG!! You're Running It on Windows XP !!!!

Tyler McVickers. Say happy 25th birthday to Half-Life 1. You using Windows XP???

they should just make all valve games free forever

Can wait they discuss about burnt face in half life 2

I'm reading some stuff that I've known for years of my time playing HL, and some of these fixes I find it funny how they even thought to look in it, like: Improved satchel charge controls: primary fire now always throws a new satchel, and secondary fire always detonates Fixed some cases where the player could get stuck in place on level transitions. Fixed some cases where characters would interrupt important dialogue with their "greetings" dialogue. Fixed the flashlight HUD showing empty after loading a savegame. Fixed singleplayer weapons not auto-switching away when exhausted (grenades / snarks / satchels / etc) Like seriously, 25 years later and we got fixed like these? I mean they probably didn't had to yet they did. I'm happy to see this day come. .... Many did not live to see this, even as we speak lives are being taken away because of others who think they are in state of power. I don't want to get more into this. The HL news are good but the sadness in our hearts is bigger.

narcissistic injury..

How did Valve could just continue the development when they left sierrra? Wouldnt Sierra want their money back?

_Buys hl:source with its

So they are marketing half life 3 basicly

He missed the last 5 seconds of the video?

1:25:13 Of course according to Tyler diverse group of people means different skin color, why am I not surprised?
