I like how the VOX even made its voice heard all the way to Xen, a completely different dimension. Nihilanth must be so confused that he's not the only one with a telepathic voice
Starting with the scientist on the platform and then cutting back to him gone is actually the most perfect scene and really sums up the amount of screaming and horror that is happening just off screen
@@SuperCatfire You are wrong. MarphitimusBlackimus said he used AI to clone the voices. Probably he used some software like RVC. Just read the full video description to confirm that.
I commented first on the full cover (link in the pinned comment) but I'll say it again just in case: I've been working with VOX for the past 7 years and I've collected a lot of phrases, lyrics and words that are not present in the VOX folder of the game. I refrain from using AI so everything is done by hand and if my collection of songs can aid to build a stronger VOX model I'd be a very happy (free)man.
To think, a lot of black mesa's personel last songs were all star before clocking into work considering the song was released right around the time this game is set, along with other gems from the year 2000
I imagine they just got a voice actor/employee to record a bunch of words, then slapped a filter over it. Why would they go through the effort of finding a good actual tts, if they're just gonna use prerecorded words anyway?
@@nixel1324 Possibly. It's been debated though not only if VOX was done with an actual voice actor or a TTS program but if a vocoder was used or not as well.
Something like this happening would even fit in the game, though. To suit the theme of a total breakdown. Except maybe have it sing "Daisy" like HAL9000.
@@lewdslurkeragent I guess cuz it's way easier to do this than spending 10000 hours listening and editing existing Vox lines to make it work.

VOX, I admire you showing off your newly-developed/discovered singing abilities, which are excellent, but don't you think this really isn't the right time, with aliens & chaos everywhere? That aside, great job Marph! I'd love to know what AI voice program/site/bot you used, it sounds _amazing._

Pretty sure he heard it because of a teleporter in his chamber.
Black Mesa does a little trolling
Worst part is that it's lore accurate, as All Star released in 1999
_I weep_
Plus Half Life 1 is set somewhere around 1999-2000
@@OperatorMax1993200X, so it can be anywhere from 2000 to, based on the tech shown, 2005.

This is exactly what the entry HECU team would do while overtaking the VOX system.
0:47 imagine this being the last thing you hear before your demise
When VOX said Auuleegli-ers is gold... we felt that.
Never knew VOX could sing so damn well
It could't.
I think it's a trick using AI.

1:17 That green scientist in the back sure looks.... swampy... 😳
ATTENTION, EMERGENCY SECURITY TEAM. UNAUTHORIZED SHREK FORMS DETECTED IN SECTOR C.
Imagine bleeding out in the hot sun while snipers are hidden around, then hearing Smashmouth playing over the speakers just to rub it in.
I love even the tentacles shaking their heads (upper bodies?) in disbelief
That is pure art.
My eyes and ears were blessed today by this masterpiece... thank you

I hope so. As much as this "sounds" like vox, it's just missing so many qualities that manually done vox lines have.

Simply genius. Very well made, great job.
the way how the hgrunt's reloading and firing sounds were completely in sync with music is pure gold
I don't know what demon possessed you to make this, but it gave me a good laugh.
Wowwww. When he says "Mowwwowwwlld..." That was smoooth.
That sneaky Shrek in the last 2 seconds
Lolol Fuckin died when I saw the scientist at the beginning caused himself to fall so he wouldn't have to suffer the VOX's singing.
we makin it outa black mesa with this one 🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥
God damn it, Marphy.
1:18 what the hell is shrek doing up there?
He's the G-Ogre that oversees the Resonance Cascade.
Thaw was scary
Of course the scientists would never have heard of the song.
None of these Half-Life videos are machinima btw. MarphitimusBlackimus both lives and works from within the Black Mesa facility.
All that glitters is gold (source)
0:36 poor grunt.had nohting to do but just listen to the announcher and kill headcrabs
This would be more scary then the rest of the timeline how intertwined it would be to Aperture.
Question: do you know if the Half-Life VOX is based off any existing model? And if so which one it was?
At least one user on r/HalfLife tried tracking down the source of VOX's voice, with little success.

This is actually how the residents Cascade happened
The AI system stopped doing its job and everything went to hell
H.E.V. scientists are like onions, they have layers
GlaDos makes a song
Black Mesa VOX: Hold my text to speech.
Now this is real music, you can't deny it.. no.
you are not allowed to deny it.
"Orges are like test chambers."
"They stank?" "No" "Oh they make you cry!" "...Yes"
Chickety China the Chinese Chicken my man.
0:55 I love how we don't see the scientist fall. It just cuts to the end of the sequence lmao
It's cursed hearing the announcement system breath in
Something like this happening would even fit in the game, though. To suit the theme of a total breakdown. Except maybe have it sing "Daisy" like HAL9000.
This needs 280k views not 28k views
Love how even GMan is confused xD
Such a lifeless and monotone voice usually but god-DAMN can it sing!
Thank you Mr. MB very cool
A long awaited banger video
0:55 he made the right decision...
Attention! This... AnnounCeMeNT...... SYSTEM... NOW... UNDER... SMASH... MOUTH... COMMAND!
legend says it's also the combine portal code
WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY RESEARCH FACILITY?!
It had been ages since you last posted, and what do we get? QUALITY CONTENT.
I 100% expected this to be a video about all the lines the Vox could say
what a masterpiece.
They've assured the administrator that *nothing* will _g o o r o o o w n g_

@@DiocletianLarius Still takes effort to make it sound good, it's just that the result is not as cringe and choppy as it was before.

so no one gonna talk about Shrek running around in Black Mesa..

I like to think the HECU programmed the VOX system to do this.
Instant System Shock vibe
Kinda similar to System Shock 2, where somebody hacked the AI XERXES into singing Elvis Presley for 3 hours.
lmao that shrek at the end, probably going to maul the hgrunt for trespassing his swamp
He's not in a swamp though
@@PrisonMike196 black mesa is worse than a swamp
@@haydolimposofficial Well, I guess it is
the hecu shouldn't have been allowed to commandeer the vox announcements
It's a cool place, and they say it gets colder!
an eye that plitters is guhhhh
Is this entire video just to show off how env_sound works in Goldsrc?
the black mesa announcement system doesn't need autotune!
Its pretty clear that the black mesa incident had an outside source.
Marph covered everything at this point.
Amazing work 👍
*Paging Neil Cicierega, paging Neil Cicierega.*
Love it or hate it, bangs like a Resonance Cascade.
1:16 omg no, shrek is love, shrek is life again no please
The nihilanth had to use portal to hear all of this
Portal storm can't come quick enough, smdh.
the lore is immense
1:18
Him.
The song would actually help with the tentacles, so there is that
All-star?
Don’t you mean All-sun?
Probably the Greatest Half Life 1 content produced this Year
Amazing
This is so powerful... I'm in tears
Vox should be used to cover Idol from YOASOBI.
we can close the half-life facts, we cant get any better
tbh someone probably would do this if they got into the controls for the thing during the incident
Did anyone else see what ran across the catwalk in the background at the end?
Marph you silly little goober, Its about time you give us another banger meme! Love you lots, muah
I can't believe this was in the base game!!!
Our ekk gleddrs iz gourd
Moments after disaster
Yes
aw man if only Nihilanth was singing along it would've been perfect

1:18 what are you doing shrek?
What "M O R P H I N E A D M I N I S T E R E D" does to a mfk,
Peak content marph, never fail to disappoint us.
I want to know what that thing was on the second floor bridge
Do you know who ate all the donuts?
damn.
Better to die to Smash Mouth than die to the slience of nothing, tbh.

So epic lmao
