"It will delete you as well" actually being 100% true and not a joke is hilarious to me

Imagine you’re a combine and the guy you’re supposed to kill hops in a metal pod laying there like mummy completely immune to your advanced alien pulse rifle

Suit: have a zoom function Also Suit: doesn't have a helmet

2:51 let my man’s sleep, he’s tired.

The train tracks thing could've been the Combine shelling the area in an attempt to slow down Gordon, after he passed through the first time. Dunno what they hoped to accomplish, but even the Combine make stupid decisions sometimes.

"The game now ends" is such a weird message to be seeing there

Honestly, this video should just be titled: "What 3500 hours of Half-Life 2 does to a mf"

holy shit this is amazing laughed a lot at the pod segment, never even knew that was possible

"Watch closely as this train disappears into the tunnel" **Sounds of train getting closer**

Pretty rude of the Combine soldiers not to carry you to Breen after you tucked yourself into the pod. Guess that’s why they invade rather than say please! Oy!

As a LambdaSpecialist these facts are very informative to me.

5:05 not only the fire is larger, but the lambda symbol on the wall is gone!

5:27 I never realized the vortigaunts roast Freeman if the Striders blow up the rocket

5:20 Strider: *destroys rocket and save combine* Also Strider: Adios

I noticed that they sounded weird in that hallway, but I always assumed it was just the acoustics of it. And for that part where the Route Kanal train starts moving again, the razor train goes through the tunnel too, despite being too tall for it.

Fun fact: the HEV suit and crossbow both zoom in at the exact same amount. There's also a part of the mines in EP2 where the ceiling is partially unmodeled and you can see into the void/blue hell. It's completely accessible and is to the right of the elevator.

I'm so glad the merry go round motor is getting recognized, I remember finding that the first time I played through as a kid, and just spent nearly an hour trying to launch myself with the spin physics lmao (also 5:13 WHY does the fire get bigger?)

That merry go round switch is trully wtf. I played the game countless times now and I had no idea.

How dedicated must you be to exploring this 2004 game quirks to figure out that if you go back on that one specific city 17 map the fire gets larger???

I've never actually seen a strider vaporize white forest at the end of episode 2

I just imagine gordon wrapping himself in the pod like a baby just to avoid getting hurt

2:43 and why he eepy 😂

Well the reason why it sound weird in that hallway is because of source's echoing effect and it's not just in that hallway many places in half life 2 do that.

I think my greatest discovery in hl2 was how great dog's ball was at killing and distracting zombies in Ravenholm.

I love this type of content and even more so when done in your style because you can dig deep down and explain most of the cases. Keep up the good work.

I hate it when I get deleted. Happens to highly trained professionals as well it seems.

I'm a Quake modder/coder, and it's funny seeing how various of those quirks are rooted in things that come all the way from the Quake engine

I don't think I'd ever actually seen the fail state of the final battle in ep 2 until now lol

Was the ear**e at the end necessary? Your voice is soothing and the video is quite chill, why ruin it like that?

I just started merry go round in the Black Messa East scrapyard, didnt tryed that before. But there is one weird bug i just accidently figured out just a few moments ago in the same place. Maybe Pinsplash didnt know about this one. When dog starts throwing boxes at the player to catch it with the grafity gun, if you put another box, or a barrel just before a dog grabs one box to throw it from the container, the box that Dog grabs explodes in the container. Im not sure if that is a famous bug, but i just accidently bumped into it.

3:01 The Bad Ending

I love your channel and all of your work

Random girl enters my room also her: 5:37

Love these videos!

The disappearing screen looks might just be intended to be an old CRT. They can look kinda grey when they're off.

man i miss experiencing the streetfights for the first time. that was so awesome in 2004

idk how many more of these you can make but they’re so good

3:49 Thats something we usually do in Synergy[hl2 co-op] a little trolling

Amazing Work

Cool stuff my dude!!

I found this very interesting. Good video.

3:43 the reason why it sounds like that is because Dr. Magnuson has a room that his basically showed of the radio sound

I can't wait another 3500 hours for you to find more stuffs.

2:40 depression dream

Phasers...nice. Also, you can die at the end of Half-Life 2 right before G-Man says hi and it still continues as normal.

After some time, we’ll know about the things in Half Life 2 so much that we would be able to figure out what the entire Valve team liked to eat when they worked on Half Life 2.

6:11 *dies of facts*

I found something interesting: The codebase that ep1 and ep2 use checks your moddir and based on the directory you play it toggles some features e.g. LegacyFlashlight: if start a source game whose directory name is hl1, hl2 or episodic then the game will disable the flashlight meter and use the aux power. If the moddir doesn't match with these names then it will enable the flashlight meter. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything else on this matter.

I love how there’s still so many things I still don’t know after playing for almost a decade and a half now.

Thank you for putting on your ASMR voice for this video

I love the fact that things are still being discovered about these games

The highway debris blocking the train track blew my mind. Holy shit.

Great video as usuall m8. Do you think you would do such content for L4D2?

Now the vaporized pod one is just weird and creepy.

0:00 This is a normal occurance, because if you zoom, you're telling the game that your FOV should be like 50, but with holding Z, you tell the game once again to put it at 30. Now because both are acting upon the player's FOV constantly, it will be switching between 50 and 30 really fast, but most of the time it will never go to actual 50 FOV since this function is way to fast. One way to fix this is if there was a boolean call of whether which zoom was called upon. If it was the Z keybind Zoom, or the crossbow zoom, and then you can temporarily disable the other until you let go of said hotkey. (Right Click or Z)

Very slightly related, but in the last battle of EP2, _any_ strider you spawn can start to walk towards the missile silo and blow it up. For people less familiar with the source engine, this seems unremarkable, but for 14 y/o me that had it drilled into my head that 99% of npcs in HL2 needed to be named in order to be affected by a scripted command, it was the wildest thing. That fact alone let me play for hours on end on that map, making huge npc battles in a modded EP2.

In Episode 2 in the area with the first Hunter fight, depending if you visit the transmitter before or after powering up, Alyx's line will change.

thanks for the earrape at the end

3:27 same thing happens but to most or all weapons if you use the commands "sv_cheats 1" and "impulse 101" in Portal 1

That Potemkin Village thing when you stand on top of the drawbridge is pretty neat.

I've never seen the failstate for the White Forest Strider invasion - I've always either cleared that section first try, died by other means, or just reloaded a save of things weren't going well. That game over message is hilariously condescending, essentially saying that the game knew you were this bad from the start before ending itself. Would've been even better if they went the extra mile and just have the credits play along with it, to really sell the "the game ends now" line.

There was two things I didnt know of and this did make me want to play it again 100% :D

Wow, amazing attention to details. I haven't played for 3500 hours, but I must have played for 400+, and I haven't found 1/20th of these things.

Love ya vids

As a day 1 Half Life and Half life 2 player I can telll you this: WOW You really know Half life! Respect!

Sua dedicação será fruto de muitas vitórias

3:05 Ah, so that's where entities go to when they're deleted from the game.

Nice outro bro :) ngl

As a fact hater, I really hated these facts

You certainly saved the best for this video, this was really interesting

as a fact enjoyer, i enjoyed these facts (early 😉)

0:36 for some reason I thought he was gonna say "In the finale you can stand on deez nuts"

enter pod = nap time

I still have nightmares about that cat.

i think the biggest shock ive learned from this is what happens when you fail to stop the striders, i've always saved/ loaded at every strider so ive never let one get to that stage before o.o

holy shit your mic is pristine

@pinsplash I did this on the 360 Orange box. I pushed Alyx through a door that she wasn't supposed to enter (you two split up), and the game copied her to the next area with me. She would be talking through the loudspeaker, while her doppelganger followed (and assisted) me through the level. Later when she's supposed to join back, there became 2 of them :).

Gordon got sent to the backrooms when that pod got deleted

Time? Mr Freeman? Huh what are you doing?

It's like facts & glitches series

Might I say, Pinsplash, your voice is sounding quite deep. Half Life 2 Factoid ASMR

delicious content

You can take the ball you play with The Dog up to a point where you crawl through the window before antlion guard fight in Nova Prospect.

1:40 this is so cool!

3:12 That looks similar to TF2's impulse (already don't remember which one exactly) command which erases objects when implied to you.

About those train tracks, perhaps they blew up that highway bridge in the hopes of stopping freeman or something and so on etc. etc. Dunno.

the same effect happens if you get near the window between the airlock and the control room in eli lab

1:34 train: goes normal* Wee.. disappears*

2:45 Huge Mother 3 vibes

the strider literaly died of ligma

fantastic

I've never seen that fail state in ep2 with the rocket getting destroyed

I didnt even know you could zoom with the suit

The one with the train moving again was so goofy

5:27 something about this message just scares me "MAGNUSSON'S MISGIVINGS ABOUT THE FREEMAN ARE COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED. THE GAME NOW ENDS."

I actually found some of these out of bounds places when playing Temporal Assassin, because the player has much higher mobility in that mod.

1:40 I learned that one on my first playthrough

you should do some of the bugs and glitches in the previous versions like the release version of hl2 or maybe the day 1 patch

The smg and pistol sound thing happens in every portal test chamber

Pinsplash fun fact : in ep1 in the last chapter there's normal sound o nothing like of start hl2 but beform the last chapter you can here attack's etc
