Wayneradiotv: Literally the entire inspiration for this. Without the HLVRAI series, this one would never have existed. (Watch them before us, they are WAY better!)
The Soup Crater Team: The cast and crew of the whole thing, 8 idiots with a passion and a desire to create a series.
Valve: HALF-LIFE. Also all the music in this video, it's all them. GO PLAY HALF LIFE!
Since it's a Machinima, we're hoping the entire project falls under Creative Commons. This is not, was not, and will never be a commercial project. If you would like us to remove any of your work we have in here (which, might I add, we will be only including our own stuff in here from here-on-out, given how much we've grown), we can re-upload the video with your stuff removed/replaced. Just shoot us an email at SoupCraterProductions@gmail.com, and we'll update/fix the video asap!
PS.
My microphone was REALLY sensitive throughout the video, so apologies for the ASMR level breathing in the background, we're working on getting that fixed.
Also, since this is our first video, it's rough. VERY rough. It took about 3 weeks to make due to timing, scheduling, and editing especially.

In another world, these series would’ve been called “Civilian’s mind”
clever!
@@SoupCraterProductionsor it could be called CIVILIAN SQUAD!!!!
@@SoupCraterProductionsa freeman mind reference? :O
Edit: Holy shit I hate autocorrect
Indeed :)
or if it was made 10 years earlyer
I like that we have the vision of just a passer-by, not gordon, just a random guy.
We wanted to put our own unique spin on Wayne’s series. We’re glad you liked the idea! :)
I like to think it's still Wayne playing Freeman. Even though the behavior is different.
@@SoupCraterProductionsit so happens that in this series freeman got more respect than in hlvrai, he deserves it tho
He says valuable information
I like how gordon is the true NPC in this story or, a confused player
yeah lol
@@SoupCraterProductions player or npc ?
@@MalcomCotie Idk that's for you to find out ;)
I think of it like a little adolescent is playing as gordon freeman
@@SoupCraterProductions From the confused way he’s acting I think he’s some kid who thought it was some skibidi toilet ripoff. Or he’s just dumbfounded a civilian is sentient. Who knows.
"So a guy walks into a bar right?"
**random pause**
"I love that joke!"
LMAO!
I think you mean a B.A.R.?
(Browning assault rifle)
*fucking dies*
I love how he went to "Who's Gordon Freeman?" then to "There's no way that's Gordon Freeman."
yeah lol... silly michael!
i really like this spin on the idea, instead of being gordon you're just a normal guy in the city that gets caught in all this
yup! bro was just trying to take a nap...
There was a "Mind" spinoff called "Steven's Mind" with a similar premise for HL2 episode 2, though unfortunately that series was lost to unexplained dmca takedown
Iirc, there was a mod where you played as a citizen who had to escape after the Combine raided a building
4:35
"doctor freeman i presume?"
"no :(" fucking lmao
the FUNNY :)
No way dave strider
@@SoupCraterProductions hl2aivr holdover
@@MalcomCotieinspiration is a sin
holy shit its dave strider?????????????
Constantly turning around and just seeing Gordon standing there completely silent staring into your soul is the most terrifying thing.
I'm surprised more people haven't watched this, this series definitely deserves more love.
We’re glad you think so! :)
That’s because we want the real Wayneradiotv version
@@SilverGeFer shut up, this is a fan version not a knock off. The premise is different as instead of a sane player and insane ai, its a insane player with a sane ai with other insane ai, its different and a inspired version.
@switched395 so all that's different is the player is insane
Really love the whole backwards concept of this one, from sane player with a group of insane ai to sane ai with an insane player
And other equally insane ai
Also I think it'd be super funny if this Gordon is experiencing the game for the first time ever ans just thought this was all part of the game
that WOULD be funny!
Thank you! :D
Creative put your own spin on the VRAI self aware idea
We tried lol!
@@SoupCraterProductions did pretty well
Amazing take on the HLVRAI thing, seeing from the perspective of just some Joe Schmo civilian being dragged along on an adventure by a confused yet insane player!
It seems like gordon is the most sentient behind michael as seems to actually wait and respond to Michael and seem to actually care about him
interesting theory!
Bobs mostly sane
@@Interlopers-random-posts exactly!
The perspective of a confused civilian as Gordon Freeman wordlessly tears through the apartment and smashes the TV out the window is the best start to this lmao. That's something that no one can ever resist doing on this level when playing the campaign normally, unless they are a really disciplined speedrunner or they found a level skip and never passed it. lol
Imagine an alyx version of this where a sane self-aware alyx has to deal with an insane player
that would be interesting!
This my first time coming across this, and I’m just getting into HL content so it was nice to see this vid!
I’ve noticed that Gordon checks up on Micheal when he’s behind from the group, hurt in some way, or usually right behind him when he runs forward to get away from the rest of the crazy group. He’s also seems to be the only one to decently listen and give Mike space when he tells him he’s too close for comfort. Honestly, wouldn’t be surprised if Micheal slowly gets used to Gordon’s constant presence hovering around him like a concerned pet owner and just accepts that he and the others now Freeman’s irrelevant assistants he just keeps around for fun at this point lol.
Also, my favourite moments of Gordon is when he’s right up behind Mike and just stares for a few seconds after he turns around from banging on the entrance door, protects Mike from a head crab that snuck up on him, when Mike frees himself from the barnacle and Gordon was hovering right over him until another person from the group was screaming absolute bloody murder up ahead, and when he aggressively nodded at him when he asks if the helicopter was finally shot down! I’m loving these little interactions between the two, even if Micheal doesn’t verbally acknowledge them all the time! 💕😊
Love the guy playing the POV. He's keeping me engaged with how confused and concerned he's acting. Can't wait to watch the rest of this series!
AWESOME! Glad to hear it!
the part where he goes to the Kliner's lab reminds me of The amazing digital circus like he don't know what's happening he wants's to leave but he can't
oh, most certainly! michael was... discombobulated
i hope that hl2vrai is like this because this is actually hilarious
This is... genuinely the highest praise we can think of. Thank you!!!!!!
20:50 Michael has a strong plot armor because he survived a fists fight against Charles and survived...
The fact this feels like gordon is saving the civilization by destroying the tv to make them lose panic but at the same time i feel like his also trying to defeat the civilization
I haven’t even watched half of this video and I already like to think this series takes place before HL2VR, this is the Blue shift of that series (in a good way).
awesome to hear!
I like how Gordon is in the action most of the time, but when we are looking through the eyes of the civilian, the civilian is usually looking away from all of the crazy shenanigans so we can't see what's happening and in my opinion that makes the civilian less special, and it shows that he really is just a background character even if everything is from his view.
I love the blind praise for Doctor Freeman. Guy in blue is sickening.
Dang. Pretty good first episode. I look forward to seeing how it turns out
it sure do be goin lol
*THE SEQUEL OF HALF LIFE BUT THE NPCS ARE SELF AWARE SERIES WE NEEDED*
THANK YOU!
29:42 michael CINDERBLÖCK
lol. jack was something else!
just finished binging HLVRAI, so while we all wait for HL2VRAI this can tide me over pretty well, I think.
well this is certainly somethin' to find on christmas day.
Merry Christmas! 🎄
@@SoupCraterProductions merry christmas.
Wow cant wait to see the descent into madness . Lol this is awesome reminds me of freemans mind.
Freeman's mind is entertainment!
7:13 "I'm gonna go give this guy a gift because I feel bad for him" "Please don't give me a broken nose"
it really did look like he was gonna wack michael lol
10:28 You wouldn't get electrocuted unless you have a complete circuit, ot you're grounded (aka you;re touching something that completes a circuit)
Also i would definitely love to see more!
ah, a fellow SCIENCE enjoyer! charles would like you lol
It’s cool how the colors of the captions match the color of the persons shirt!
No way, I just had the realization that you’re not Gordon… But one of the self aware AI…
That’s so fucking dope.
thank you!
LMAO THE PART WHERE THEY ALL SLEPT GOT ME
the eepers
that Gordon is so accurate lmao
(Actor for Gordon here) I try :)
This is by far the craziest Type-5 Demo I've seen yet
ikr?
yeah it's crazy
14:09 THE NAME CHANGE GOT ME CRYIGN DUDE LMAOOOOOO]
LMAO
4:44 Mr half life turned sv_cheats on
MISSS INPUUTTTTT, MISSS INPUUTTTTT
The beginning was a bit rough, but once a groove got going it all fell into place I think. Certain details were a bit strange, such as this guy seemingly being a regular citizen, yet he seemingly doesn't recognize the Citadel initially since he is surprised by its size. This doesn't really make sense since the Citadel should be a normal part of life for him by now.
Other than that, very funny.
YES, the first episode was thankfully we figured everything out by the second episode!
@@SoupCraterProductions
Something I think people like you that make these amazing projects would likely benefit from doing more often is to just simply play all the games once or twice again just to refresh your memory.
Make sure all the little details are fresh in your memory, that way it will make the project as a whole much more faithful to the source material, and in the opinions of most, generally improving the quality.
I'm really enjoying how this series is going, and the speed at which you're uploading these is remarkable. I do hope that some of the more serious lore-heavy stuff can still retain their weight and impact, but the humor is definitely important as well.
I think you guys are doing pretty well, just keep up the good work!
I like to think Mike is an abnormality. So other abnormalities and the player can see him and converse with him but not Working NPC's.
good theory!
8:34 “did I just hear a stinger?” 🤣🤣
Only after watching half of this i realized this isnt official HL2VRAI
Well done!
How did I go six months without seeing this!
RUclips went 6 months without recommending us sadly, but thankfully we’re starting to get on the algorithm’s good side :)
@@SoupCraterProductions That’s great, this series really needs views and more support
Basically, the interlope but the NPC does not get teleported out of bound and D I E
i just found out this even existed and i love it
Better late than never :)
im 7 months late to this masterpiece but i can tell it's definitely in a great direction
I hope Wayne acknowledges your work in his hlvraii
yup
spending the next hours of my life binging what there it is
i especially love that you guys kept breaking the map and used bullshit magic to make things work again. it adds so much random comedy that makes it 10X more enjoyable
Glad you’re enjoying it so far! We knew going into this that a lot of scripted scenes would just stop working cause the game felt like it so we mentally prepared ourselves for random bullshit. Have a good time and have some good laughs! 😄
"We have been moving so fast that we created a devide in the world"
the second best thing since black mesa npc aware thing
"It was just a matter of time"
"time... doctor freeman? Is it really that... time again...?"
@@SoupCraterProductions oh yeah btw guys wayne already announced that they're making oficial HL2 Self-Aware AI
@@beggarsbazooka9517 We've seen, and we're SUPER exited!
@@beggarsbazooka9517I’m pretty sure that teaser was for a troll stream of them doing breaking bad but the Ai is self aware 😭😭
citizens in release hl2: oof, aahh, aa,, HELP!
citizens in hl2 beta: Ok, im ready... LETS GO!
imagine a 7 year old is playing gordon freeman and unknowingly encounters some sentient npcs and just thinks its part of the game
7:58 THE MAN BEHIND THE SLAUGHTER
I love how gordon throwing a prop at him
This is now my second favorite series next to HLVRAI its amazing lmaoo
You definitely deserve a sub bro
WAIT THERE WAS PARTS AND IT WASNT IN MY SEARCH WHEN I TRYED TO SEARCH HALF LIFE 2 BUT THE AI IS SELF AWARE?!
This is just like the half life version but we are the citizen
8:00 CIVILIAN BEHIND DA SLAUGHTER
michael... afton?
Bro only in city 17 💀💀💀
What if you wanted to Half Life 2 but the AI is self aware, but Soup Crater Productions said:
R E A L
Freeman is coming.
Run.
r u n
It's weird . . . Cool, but weird
Hey...
Don't forget to reload
@@CL3NRcProductions no
This is genuinely SO fucking well made. 9:55 and 13:04 made me laugh so much harder than I expected, this is gold.
awesome! glad you're enjoying it!
MY GOD! I've been waiting for something like this since ages! I'll do everything I can do help out this, really!
though, I don't have much money to spare so... big L on the monetary field.
Thank you, but our cast is a bit overflow-y as it is!
You can join the discord though, we're active there ALL THE TIME!
(We even have a minecraft server!) discord.gg/H2eXFD3yxy
We got a half life but the npcs are self aware sequel before GTA 6.
we need behind scenes footage with all guys in a discord
We’re planning on doing something like that in video form when the series is over, but if you personally want to ask us some stuff we have a discord for people that enjoy the series. We chat in there a lot and sometimes host events! :D
6:19 just the short wheeze brought my guard down
Dam Gordon's Acting Is Oscar Worthy As Always!
rewatching episode 1 hits diffrent after watching the last one
POV: You are not Gordon
fr
I really do like this, and i love how its just some random guy that got picked up off the side of the road
Bro just joined the Resistance not at all by choice.
Im only at 3 mins but I feel like Gordon is going to be the benry
we'll see!
Bro this series is funny as fuck thanks for making this man
26:40 The only san guy other than the character we're taking the POV of
dont worr mike they have the aim of stormtroopers
they aren't short either lol
Alyx: doctor freeman I presume
Citizen: nouh
This is the flavor I needed before Hl2vrai, thanks so much lol
Holy crap this was one of the best things I’ve watched
Never thought anyone would say that, thank you :D
Half life 2 but the ai is self aware
Now this is what I like to see already! Earned a sub for the long run!
thank you! :D
quite the pogger.
4:38. It make so much sense for the mistaken identity by alyx here. If you have heard of the legendary gordon freeman, the one who free blackmesa. You dont see a psychopath who throw paintcan and tv
what a gem was recommended to me, omg, keep it up!
Thank you!
Gordon freeman and John freeman
cant wait for HLVRAI2 to come out, this is a pretty good fan project you guys did.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING THIS FOR SO LONG
glad you enjoy it!
Ah.. yes… skibidi-bop (and not, dop.)
we were first! RRAAGGGHH
@@mr.smashbrick3081HHGGGAARr…
We did infact, say it first. >:)

GAAaaahhh!
the meme of this would be AMAZING
Saw this in my recommendation, already a absolute banger
Great stuff, def joining the discord.
I love the coomer model scientist dude his accent just makes it so much better he has to be my favorite
300 subs? i thought you were some popular yt!
awesome content
really? that's incredible! Glad to see you enjoy it!
This is a rather refreshing take on this kind of thing. c:
Even if Wayne hasn't posted his second series yet, I still like this
babe wake up HLVRAI 2 just dropped
Lets wait for HLVRAI 2 Episode one now !!
4:35 was by far the funniest moment of 2024
First time watching this, and I think this video is severely underrated. So much hlvrai vibes. Keep it up guys.
Hope you enjoy! 😄
This is amazing! This is such a great twist on, what is in itself, an interesting concept. And I love it when people, instead of just copying the idea, recycle it into something more.
