    Really cool how you put this together. Looks like you're actually using a PC from that time period. I remember using Steam back then and I hated that I had to use it for Valve games because I was used to just putting the CD-ROM in and installing straight from the disk and playing right away. Updates would take forever to download lol. Never expected it to blow up and become the main hub for PC games like it is now.

    Nostalgia is a funny thing, my memory of this is that Steams servers went down for a frustratingly long time and people were declaring Steam a failure at launch. There was a lot of rage due to the fact Valve were forcing you to install their service just to install the game, everyone was so used to just installing directly from the disc, the idea that you needed to sign up for this service seemed insane at the time

    I remember in 2004 my PC was in my room. But for HL2 launch I moved it downstairs since I needed internet access to unlock the game (even if you had the CDs like me).
    I was 13 at the time and this was such an anticipated launch. I had been waiting for it for so long. I remember getting my dad to take me to Best Buy the day before launch after reading that some stores were selling it early (even though you can’t do anything beyond preload it prior to the launch date).
    Was living on east coast of US at the time so I remember either staying up til 3am or waking up til 3am (midnight valve time) to start the unlock process.

    I had a love and hate for Half-Life 2's installation like many back in 2004 because of the concept of having to install Steam. For those who don't remember or weren't around; Steam was a massive resource hog that barely worked at times during its heyday. If you wanted to multi task, you best made sure you had 512mb of ram or over in 2003-04. And usually, you'd immediately close the program if you weren't playing any of Valve's games on it.

    I was born the year after Half-Life 1 released, and I used to play the "non-steam" multiplayer version on the school computers back in primary school. I also played CS 1.6 and CS Source. The teacher would make a LAN server and then he played with us boys instead of having us learn boring computer stuff 😂

    My first time playing HL2 was on a computer that wasn't quite up for the task. It was slow to load anything, so G-man's dialogue went something like: "...Well, let's just say your hour has... come agai-agai-agai-agai-agai-agai-agai-agai-gain."

    And great videos, its really interesting getting to go back in time like this.

    The fact that Valve originally created Steam as a way to house all of their current and upcoming games.
    Now, it has become a huge gaming platform complete with VR and Console compatibility.
