Thanks for the really thoughtful video, I hadn’t thought of the game from they perspective before but I totally agree!
Thanks for watching!
Love the transitions, this goes so smoothly!!
😍
Beautiful video! A lot of "video essays" try to put big words to mask the fact they're just saying what they feel, like they need to rationalize it and fail. You went straight to embracing the human experience, your own experience and pour it into the essay and I really, really appreciate that. The editing feels exactly like what goes through us fans' minds when reading about HL, every scene coming to mind so clearly with each sentence, chosen so carefully yet naturally.
Thank you for finding time to comment on my work! Really appreciate it. You are right, I do stick with more emotional approach here -- I think it fits, and I'm glad you've liked it! Editing this was a journey, but I did my best and am still happy with the result. Good to know I'm not the only one :D
This is superb. What a personal analysis. The word "nostalgia" doesn't do it justice; fortunately, we have a word for it in my native tongue: saudade, that melancholic, bittersweet yearning for the past. Half-Life is a deeply personal series for us older fans who spent thirteen years waiting for a new game. I'm grateful you shared your own connection with it and, honestly, after a rough day (following a rough few months of, you guessed it, work and routine), this really brightened my evening. Thank you, and I hope you keep it up.
Thank you for your kind words about my work! Funny thing is, I know the word you are talking about. I discovered it years ago and wanted to name my... Portal/HL fanfiction with it :D
This is a really interesting view of the story and the themes of childhood transitioning into adulthood match Alyx's journey to a T. As it looks like she's grown into an independent player of the series as a whole, possibly becoming the new lead of Half-Life itself. It makes sense as the team need a different and fresh direction for the games after a decade of growing expectations. Amazing video by the way, keep it up!
Thank you! Yeah, I think my point stand as part of the meta, too. Alyx is young blood of the series, an NPC made player character as you said. From this perspective it's understandable why Valve got a new actress to play her in HLA...
@@AlexRedacted Yeah, Alyx has definitely gotten more attention over the games (of course leading up to HLA). I do think though Merle Dandridge should keep her role, in interviews she talks about how much Alyx means for her and to switch actors might not be the best choice. Both actors are great and if Valve could create a new and exciting character for the new actress then maybe we could get the best of both worlds. As well as that HLA also returned back to the core mystery of Half-Life, not knowing what will be install for the next game as now time and space is flexible, the wims of the Gman's power is unknowable for the time being.
I love how you analyzed the story through the perspective of childhood and coming of age! I got chills at the "No he hires her" and "Its a job" line, what a great comparison of the game's plot to growing up.
Thank you! I remember the moment when it clicked for me -- how the game can be interpreted this way. I had to share!
A wonderful essay.
Thank you!
Great video! Would love to hear more about your perspective playing Half-Life games. As an American, City 17 feels truly foreign to me, but I’m curious what its like playing in a place that looks a lot like home.
All of the Half-Life hits extremely close to home for me -- I've worked at a scientific research institution, for example. So the games are truly personal (:
Awesome ❤️
Nice Video 👍😊
The best character in the Star Wars saga!🙃🙂 But they could have enjoyed It more!😞
This is absolutely epic

I don't understand how some people can dislike LOK. This show gave us Wan, the best avatar. His story was the true master piece. Before, it seemed like avatar was just some god or so, but no. Avatar is a soul of a human, who fought for peace all his damn life, the only thing he was thinking before death being well being of the world. The LOK made avatar a human, who became a god. AND THEY NAILED THIS IDIA AS GREAT AS THEY COULD.
Hey man how are u?
Τελειο
Ontos
I wish Wan was the deuteragonist and narrator to both ATLA and LOK. And for him to have his own series.
His life is not intresting we have seen his origin story and his death
Avatar wan and Avatar roku is my favorite avatar!!!! Cause their both fire bender....
Wan was not born a bender thats just the first element he got
Ohh yeahhh.....
Yeah but they both the coolest avatar so i think avatar roku and avatar wan was my favorite avatar everrr!!!!!!
Glady Cruz thats cool
Wow😍😍😍
I swear to god that I destroy the resistance by myself, no matter what comes. Soon the first order will dominate the galaxy and every single system. Everything that comes in our way will be shattered!
So about that...
@@Cobra_125 Yeah that...that didn't age well. At all.
I will rule the world
I will not die... I hope...
My faforiete avatar
El primer avatar el comenzó todo que hicieron los guionista unos capítulos después eliminarlo en verdad bravo genios son unos hjp 😒
Avatar wang es mil veces mejor que korra
The first avatar
Hail to the Emperor Hux ! ♥️
This black anyone like he
look kind of zuko
I saw “I will not die”. Did not expect “Time of Dying”
If only with two episodes managed to be one of the most incredible characters of all, imagine with a complete series? It would be incredible, because he could tell everything in more detail, how he learned to master the other elements, the fights between him and Vaatu until the day of harmonious convergence, wanted :'c
Wan reminds me of Hashirama
If the avatar cycle is water earth fire air then why is wan a firebender the legend of korra didn’t think this one out
Song is- my angsty rebellion by edglords with curfew for anyone wondering

I think it would be great if they made a short 12 episode series about Avatar Wan . These two episodes with Wan were really great ^_^
Korra villains are way more powerful than Wang's villains. Just saying
Esta perron
Did you see Avatar Wan statue with Raava behind him... Wan doesn't have hands...
Wow! I love this! ALL REMAINING SYSTEMS WILL BOW TO THE FIRST ORDER AND REMEMBER THIS AS THE LAST DAY OF THE REPUBLIC!!!😀
I love it
I love this too
So the first human bender is a FIRE BENDER🔥🔥🔥
.... There are other lionturtles who give people water, air, earth bending. But this episodes show us that the Avatar cycle started with Fire. Fire > Air > Water > Earth
Snazzy.
Hello there.
That's just great, there are two of me now.
@@GeneralAHux Apparently. Did you hear Captain Phasma is actually dead. Im soo mad about that because her character was totally wasted! She is great in books and comics but not the best in movies.
I just needed to get that out.
May she be remembered. She was quite useful.
