Time to once again play as everyone's favorite Swedish physicist; Jorgen Freudman.

36:12 Joel is being mega gaslit by chat In both Windows release (and maybe original? idk, never had it) he does spin the thingy on the Gauss gun

I would love to see Vinny and Joel do Half Life Decay together since they both love the series

This update has reminded me of when Joel played hl1 plus the two expansions and even the ps2 multiplayer. That was cool. Do it again 8D!

The goldsrc reverb will probably never be replicated, but holy hell is it perfect

I’m happy for all the yoeys and vinnies who grew up with this and get to see the old features again Ik how yoey feels when he says he wishes he could take an NPC through the whole game :(

I like to how the deathmatch revolver only has a laser and iron sights but it zooms in. I like to imagine the reason beta Barney has broken eyes is because they ZOOM out of his head cartoon style and everyone else can do it too.

I spent ages trying to figure out how to open ports as a kid to host servers and one day my dad changed ISPs and magically the servers started to work. I learned years later that it was because of the fact that the previous ISP didn't hand out public IP addresses. Hamachi was used a lot because of it but man it was a struggle and 99% of the time it would show my friends with a blue icon which meant a massive ping and you had to reset it tens of times to get it to green

Loved playing Half-Life Deathmatch with everyone that night. Really made my evening :)

Man, this game was such a revelation back when it came out. I absolutely loved it. 😊

can't believe skibidi toilet is already 25 years old

I ran my own server called “Vargskelethor joey” and I was Vargskelethor Joel no fake and got to pay for like 10 minutes before my eardrums exploded, thank you John Life for making this game

36:45 I cant believe chat successfully gaslit you. He did do that, you can look at the model in HL model viewer to see the animation, it's called "fidget"

Chat ofc gaslighting joel saying "mandela effect!!!""" when he was completely right

i know you'll never see this or bother to read it, but i have a story. i've grown up watching your streams, and also with half life. real life however isn't easy, and over the years things have been total shit for me, and i have struggled to sleep at the best of times. coming back to your streams, hearing you and especially hearing you talk about something i/we love so much in this particular low point to me, is like coming back to an old and trusted friend regardless of the fact we've never met. i haven't felt this comfy for a while, and i'll probably have fallen asleep comfortably for the first time in a while by the end of this video. thank you joel :)

don't know why people said "set max FPS to 20" since I always remembered H-L running at 60fps. I think the max fps people remembered H-L being at depended on their potato system set ups at the time. H-L, like Quake and Quake 2, forced people to upgrade their PC's to the latest graphics cards etc. back when PC games really pushed hardware.

Half-Life Deathmatch was a highlight in itself for me this year but gunning down Joey in Deathmatch? Highlight of the year. 👍

If you want to make "Change Game" menu appear again, make a shortcut and launch the Half-Life executeable directly from the game files instead of using the Steam-created shortcuts.

Been binging Vinesauce Half-Life content ever since the update came out, great to have yet another one!

This is the sort of thing where any other studio would completely ruin it with raytracing, shadows and upscale textures, but valve actually went a few steps backwards, and improved it that way.

happy holidays

1:00:37 Oh no, it's murder! :) GG Joey.

I’ve been a console gamer my whole life, but decided to make the switch to PC in 2020 because all of my friends did. Best decision I’ve ever made! But now that I was a fully-fledged PC gamer, I felt it my obligation to try Valve’s premier line-up of games. I played Portal 1&2 on 360 via The Orange Box. I tried playing Half-Life 2, but my dumb ass at the time was like “This is just Garry’s Mod but not fun!” It wasn’t until I gave Half-Life 1 a shot in 2021 (and had the time of my life) that I decided to return to Half-Life 2, and it was in doing so that I had a much greater appreciation for the series. This series is a masterpiece!

I showed Half Life to my nephew and he screamed Skibidi Toilet on the top of his lungs.

HYPE!

Sound effects back in grandpa day were recorded in substandard environments and pitchboosted or doubled up to sound louder. So it sounds natural and more crusty, with resonance. Now everything is recorded in a perfect vacuum so it sounds artificial and "too good" or not created for the game at all - ie: audio jungle.

I love listening to Joel talk about Half Life. Reminds me of how I felt about Half Life 2 and me trying to play it on the family PC. I finally got to fully experience it on 360 which was great. Half Life is such a great FPS. It's on a league of its own, a true "thinking man's" shooter. Not really a quake style game, not really a stop and pop shooter.

Let's go check it out.

Look Gordon, a rope! GAAAH

The recent half life sale is pretty good for people trying to get into half life.

I never actually realized it's a different Barney model on the recruiting poster

I moov away from the mic to breev in

Another Half-Life marathon, 5 years after the last one and including Alyx?

It was a pleasure to take part in the madness!

Funfact, valve actually *removed* some lower graphical settings because they're essentially pointless now. So it actually could still look worse.

This game saved Joel life

vargskelethor joel

gordan did spin the tau cannon thang. i saw it in the ps2 port

frooman got his groove back?

I want joel to be my cool uncle

I’m 18 and my childhood was also sven coop xd

I don't know why people don't just turn down their own volume if its too loud lol

1:00:28 notcorc: ayy Joel: *taste rocket*

the feeling he's describing of being dependent of the other npcs and how he wants to save them through the whole entire game also happened to me. almost 2 years ago. i'm 13 now

THAT'S FAKKEN IT

now that this update is out they allow you to do proper controller remapping you should play half life 1 with guitar hero controller

Wait, Crossfire also popular in the west? I thought Crossfire only popular in Asia along with Point Blank

Half Life but awesome

My name is IVAN, _CYKA!_ You know what I've been thinking about for awhile? Natural Selection. Ever since coming back to TF2, I just felt like wanting to play NS2 for SOME REASON...But I wanted to pay the original some tribute. Never proceeded with any of that. I got lazy. The Funneh Belly Sliding Alien still slaps me on the knees, though.

I love that new\old black white orange Main Menu

1:12:05 ROBWO HATES WHAT??????????

Half Life Generations does NOT have 1.0 in it. but close.

the walter white edit makes me think of the last short from eltoro64 banger btw

fordin greeman

such a long video wow

does he actually not know the won version installs and works on windows 10

1:03:54 it me :)

I've been playing Half-Lalf since I was 6 years old. I can theoretically handle a Glock 17 and SPAS-12 better than I can speak.

I feel like me, a guy that mainly grew up with HL2 and Portal has better movement than Jobel. I want someone to make a challenge map where 100 chat members do a run and their average is rounded up to compete with Joel.

They need an "og_crust" alias that sets everything to the true og settings.

Joels half life skills are impressive

Dude you're like Vinny but faster

Of course Joel would drop 25th anniversary stream of HL1 to play skibidi games.

when I was in elementary school I wrote letter to valve as part of an assignment and asked for them to please make the third installments in their serieses

I had a Mandela Effect with this game. I thought Gordon can talk

This should ship for free with steam deck from now on. (its free for now on steam but it wont be forever)

Goddammit i cant believe I just freaking farted

I love that Joel is playing it in such low res at 4:3

Hi

I have never played any Half-Life game, but when I saw this free on Steam I knew it was time. Will get to it soon.

i put the stream in 144p for the true experience

I wanna see The Barney in the sequel to Vargverse.

Why do people act like Half-Life ran at potato speeds?

Joel doesn't know how evil NAT is

Half-Life is a game you can play if you hate actual aiming (down the sights) and love dying on Easy.

Oh Joel is 100% onto something with video game sound effects sounding weak nowadays. I LOVED Halo CE's Assault Rifle. Sounded like you were popping football sized popcorn. Then it returned in Halo 3 six years later and it was like. dropping a handful of sand on a table. In the hunt for realistic sounds they forgot to put the fun in. Or audio mixing is just bad and you can only fully experience sounds in modern games through a full-on cinema audio setup.

i thought killbox came from CS:S

Frist

I find it crazy that Valve has such a cult following that they can update a 25 year old game and still get as much praise as if they released a whole new game. I don’t know a single other studio that could successfully pull that off. Valve could make a 10$ HD Texture Pack DLC for HL1 and you’d think Half Life 3 dropped with the amount of praise they’d get.

why does this look like skibidi toilet

I prefer to play the WON versions of GoldSRC games and it's cool they brought that menu back but the submenus are still old 2003 Steam, ugh.
