  • Apologies for the inconsistencies in audio/editing/my voice. When I started the high quality videos I did not yet have a good video making process and was speaking soooo quietly. I have fixed some but not all of it cause I have to get this video out eventually and I want the files off my drive already.

    FAQ
    Q: Why reupload??? (for the millionth time)
    A: When I made the original fact videos I was using my phone's shitty mic, recording and uploading in 720p on a cheap laptop, and in general didn't polish things as much as I could have. I've had plenty of comments about these problems and I couldn't really disagree. I couldn't even run with all the graphics settings on high, when NOT recording.
    Now I have an actual microphone and record in 1440p 60 fps with much better bitrate. Some lines are re-written to work better. The intense red effect from dying has been reduced to make it easier to see and not give you a headache. Text has been added to places where commands are used so people don't have to ask about that anymore. Certain facts which I thought were not that good have been removed or merged with other facts.
    Even if my existing viewers aren't interested in these re-recorded videos, new viewers will be. New viewers will be less likely to click off because of the lower quality video, audio, editing, and voicing I simply had to work with/didn't see as a problem back then.
    Q: Well I don't care, youtubers are all evil greedy capitalist pigs!
    A: Did you know I can ban you from my comments section in two clicks?
    Q: Mr. RUclipsr! Despite not being familiar with the source code, I disagree with your informed description of how a thing works because I think it actually works like such-and-such.
    A: No.
    Q: What does "loading directly into a level" mean?
    A: Entering the level by using the "map" console command or through the chapter selection screen, and NOT by entering it from another level or by loading a save. The text in the corner shows what command you would enter to go directly to that level.
    Q: Does this video have anything new?
    A: Yes

      Decimation was a control technique, where a conqueror would go round up and randomly kill 1/10th the male population in an uppity vassal state in order to enforce control.
      The idea was if you found out there were rebels in your subjugated group, you would report them to prevent any more decimations.

    Something to add regarding the glass concrete at 5:33
    Seeing it surprised me so i went to boot up the original xbox version of Half Life 2 to see if it were present there as well (the version has several maps edited to save whatever performance possible)
    The glass concrete was still there however in its exact shape, so i moved on a bit.
    However when i turned back to test another glitch with the npc right before, the path got blocked by a headcrab shell i had never seen before, it happens right at the opening with the glass concrete.
    Upon re-loading and triggering the event again the concrete part ends up breaking. (As well as some bits of geometry above)

    2:32 something notable about grenade interactions is that enemies can shoot your SMG grenades out of the air and cause them to explode early. this is more noticeable if you try to fire a SMG grenade at a combine shotgunner while he is rushing you. they will never intentionally aim at the grenade but they can hit it incidentally and cause it to explode. they can cause you to blow yourself up this way.

    I always thought the point of the head crab pushing you was added danger feature.. since it knocks you down to one health and then pushes you off a ledge where you'll die at the bottom from the one health.. it's happened to me more than a few times lol.

    39:24 This can also be done in a different way after the tunnel battle when you have gone through the flooded zombie-filled area with the toxic waste.
    45:38 I really wish Valve had used this far more often with both regular and fast headcrabs. Headcrabs hanging upside-down from a ceiling waiting to ambush someone is such a cool detail and yet it's rarely seen.
    1:02:54 In the area with the zombies and sentry guns just before meeting up with Alyx (the building with the hole you need to jump down from before the plaza standoff), Alyx will shoot at infinitely spawning Combine soldiers. Waiting a long time will result in a pile of SMGs at the end of the hallway near the door to the zombie room.

    10:12 my guess about the reasoning behind this (assuming it isn't just an oversight) is that the knock back is required for the headcrab to correctly return to the ground, and in turn COULDN'T turn of knock back without breaking this behavior. In my head I'm picturing a scenerio where a headcrab tries to enter it's idle state after hitting the player too soon, begins clipping inside the player, and that interaction makes the engine freak out, potentially killing the player or launching them into the air, and thus the developers made the player recoil from a headcrab attack to avoid this. Therefore, when it came time to impliment the poison headcrab, they couldn't disable this feature without the player and headcrab turning into gmod props being shoved into a wall. That said, I've never read the source code, and this is all a complete guess. I remember hearing that you have actually read the source code, right after calling me out on my bs about how the crane-buggy interaction worked, so if you had a better idea, I'd love to hear it! :)

    • @Werty715_25
      @Werty715_25 2 месяца назад +1

      Maybe it's the knockback from the damage. More damage=more knockback. So when you lose 99 health, the game applies a massive amount of knockback.

    Thanks for the up. It's very Interesting as well as entertaining. One of my greatest joys in gaming is after I've beaten a game, is finding the glitches and unplanned responses. Conversely it saddens me whens the fun ones get "fixed". I mean where would Quake be without rocket jumping, bunny-hopping, and twirl jumps? Originally and for quite a few years in HL2 right after the "alamo stand" in the square, if you manage to keep a few followers alive to escape behind the barrier, you could suck up crates and stack them in an inside corner near the blown out bridge and corral newcomers to stand on the crates and then yank them out so they fall into the lower area. They will continue to follow you through the underground area until you enter the ductwork, which of course they physically cannot mimic.
    Another trick at the same barrier location is to stack the crates so you can jump over the barrier back to the square. You can still collect loot as well as charge up health and suit if any remained. Stacking furniture will get you back over the barrier, but neither direction is easy..

    not sure if you are still looking to compile any more glitches/bugs from the game anymore, but i did still want to share a game quirk i discovered many years ago but never shared with anyone in the community; i'm not sure if this is known or not? In episode 1, if you stand on the first light bridge you must fix to cross the gap, i found that the floating energy ball spawns from the broken transporter become more and more frequent over time (> 5 minutes). it get's pretty crazy and it'll eventually crash the game lmfao. anyways, great content, i subscribed!
