Hey @skyrionn, I really like watching your videos i find the very relaxing but in this video is seems like you are speaking really fast which makes it kinda hard to keep following what you are saying and it feels like I really have to do my best to understand what you are saying, i hope you understand that that's not very pleasant, still i love your content keep it going 🔥🔥🔥
I think it's likely that children were used as slaves in the early days, Cremators were 100% made by them, but after the remaining children grew too big, for the most part Cremator production would stop (There probably would still be some Cremators being made... Dwarfs and smaller individuals in general do exist, which actually does explain why everyone in Half-Life we see is like in the late 5 foot to 6 foot range.) I think that's a really good reason why we don't see Cremators in the games. There aren't any new ones being made, so they've become a rarity. With some of them being discarded with once the Combine made the cities and cleaned everything up a bit. Since the charred bodies in the sewers are possibly Cremator victims and the head in Eli's lab are fairly good indicators that they exist in some form or another, it is food for thought!
Cremator is too big and clumsy to travel in sewers. It was Civil Protection that used explosive barrels to clear out canals Cremators do exist in HL universe but Freeman didn't encounter one
@RedGoldDolfin-ez9iy That's why I said possibly victims! But yeah, valid points! I don't believe there is a confirmed death of those people in the sewers, tbh, doesn't really matter at the end of the day. They're both horrific ideas and highlight the dangers that people would take to escape City 17.
Alyx already had a boyfriend. He was a deaf silent protagonist who was suppose to debut in Half-Life 2: Episode 3, but simply never did for obvious reasons.
@@jackamatyus I don't know who that is, but Wikipedia once listed this information over a decade ago regarding Episode 3. Same with those Half-Life wiki pages. I reckon this was just a conceptual idea that never materialized and was ultimately scrapped.
When playing Half-Life 2, I never really think about what happened to the kids. It always felt like a creepy anecdote in a much darker story. No one ever talks about why there aren't any kids except for in reference to the suppression field. HL2, how Breen said we needed it. EP1, when Kleiner told the Resistance and surviving humans that the suppression field was down and that everyone should take advantage to save the human race. And EP2, when Eli joked with Alyx saying "we all have to do our part...", implying that he wanted grandkids. But that's about it.
@@Skyrionn Its something I never thought of in any game because, well, video games and all. But in Half Life 2 (i started played 3 days ago), I saw the swings, the abandoned playground equipment, and I heard the haunting noises of kids, to the point I looked around, wondering where are the children. I legit had no clue they weren't around at all anymore; my friend who was watching my playthrough told me the kids are gone. It suddenly felt like a massive gut punch.
Draining the earths oceans of it's water makes no sense when you consider how much water you'll find the asteroid belt and various moons compared to what you'll find on earth. Not to mention all of the comets.
The combine don't have FTL, from what has been shown. They can't travel far within a reality, but they can travel to different ones. For all their might, a trip to the asteroid belt would need them to haul spacecraft from one reality through to the other, and then assemble, fuel and launch it... To then bring all that frozen water back to the planet. Better to start with the local resources then move outwards.
The combine just thought they may as well do so, what they really wanted a in-universe teleportation method. They decided to just wait for humanity to finish a in-universe teleportation device.
Better start fucking! As a Bisexual who leans more to guys If I was in the HL2 universe, If I must help humanity by giving a female my kids I will even if I am bi and not straight. It be for the greater good
That moment when you first emerge from the apartments and hear the distant echos of children puts chills up my spine. The first time I played the game that part really freaked me out. I spun the merry go round really fast and started tossing objects at it to watch them get kicked off. Then I picked up the doll that makes the cry noise... oh hell no... ☠️
I just love your videos. This type of content is really rare on RUclips these days, because of poor attention span of people, but you are just crushing it. The editing and the music create an amazing atmosphere to the video and it's a real treat to watch. Not only that, your content is about Valve games which are timeless and also have their own atmosphere! When watching your videos I feel like I'm sitting somewhere in Black Mesa and somebody is just explaining everything that happened. You do this so well that I can literally just sit down and focus on the video for an hour and not get distracted. Keep up the amazing work man!
I've read recently off of a fanfiction that there is a theory that most if not all of Earths remaining children were likely rounded up and sent to one city. Being cut off from their families, with the only adults being those in their late teens, or early 20's or of course the Civil Protection and the Overwatch Soldiers. It would make sense and sounds very much like something the Combine would do. Edit: also, the Children could only really leave until they reached adulthood and just to be transferred around to other cities around like the other Adults
Hi, I know this is a late reply, but I wanted to mention that the only means the children and teens had of contacting the outside world was of the aid of a rebel cell that smuggled in letters via weekly supply shipments.
This is what really gave them the energy to fight… they literally had nothing to lose. Die now, or later. What is for sure… doing nothing and complying would’ve lead to their extinction anyways
Can you do a video on the nature of Gman, specifically his Lovecraftian form? If possible, that is. There doesn't seem to be much information about his true nature, but I bet half life 3 was meant to explore that. Another idea is the Combine empire's true form. Are they a single civilization? Are they multiversal? How old are they? Why does the Gman take actions against their objectives?
I gotta say, your videos are what keep me invested in Half-Life, I love your content, you have to keep these kind of videos up, I like the slow transitions into scenes while your calm and soothing voice narrates what did happen, what is happening, and what will happen. Skyrionn, your content is great.
My question is: why bother?? Like, the combine have such immense numbers, once they find all individuals willing to join their army, why even keep the rest alive???
@@spiderplant to drain the earth of its resources also. The combine also saw humanity as an 'infestation' and wanted to slowly kill them over time. They reduced life to only the basic necessities and killed anyone for any reason. Humanity was essentially going to be dead soon no matter what.
Out of the two, I can’t help but feel the utter lack of children is far more haunting and devastating. Compared to having them act as slaves for the Combine. It’s one thing for children to be in terrible conditions. It’s another for there to be none at all. For the main purpose of humanity to have been stripped from them, for our futures to have been forcefully ripped from us. The feeling must be beyond painful, a devastating loss the likes of which we couldn’t fathom. To know that you’re the last of your kind, and that no matter how hard you may try, you just can’t have any children. People may say they don’t want children, but to not even have the option is something no one could fathom. And it isn’t like they don’t know what they’ve lost, the fact that “Non Mechanical Reproduction Simulation” is a perk you can chose as a part of the Civil Protection Unit suggests that it’s a valuable commodity. It isn’t just that people can’t have kids anymore, it’s that the suppression field in effect completely removes the “urges” meaning you can’t even attempt it. Your body can’t make the proteins needed, and it lacks the ability to initiate the act. I personally believe that the released build has a more terrifying way of handling children. It’s so foreign, so alien, that it fits the Combine in ways unfathomable. Plus who knows, there is a chance that the beta plans did happen in universe after the 7 Hour War, after all there were billions of children alive at the time, they just grew up into the people we’ve met in the game. Those children are what we would consider “Gen Z” since that’s when they were born, before the events of Half-Life, and since Half-Life 2 takes place somewhere in the 2020s, it means that anyone born in between then and now doesn’t exist. There might be versions of us in that universe who have suffered under the Combine’s rule, it’s just not exactly a pleasant thought to consider. I wonder where our alternate universe counterparts have settled into, are they working for the Combine? Do they fight for the Resistance? Or are they just normal citizens? Who knows… we obviously never prepared for the unforeseen consequences of Black Mesa and Dr.Breen’s actions, no one did.
Gives me an idea for my AU of Half-Life. The Birthing Factory. It’s a place where the Combine would make humans by combining DNA samples, without over-populating reproduction. The human would be born at the age of 20 and be kept in the facility for 5 months before they were escorted to the selection process.
The reality of HL2 is arguably worse than, but unarguably different to 1984. We're living in what's pretty close to George Orwell's 1984 right now. The difference is not everyone has given in, yet.
I think the last generation aspect of retail, while understated, is so much more enthralling than kids being industrial slaves. I can free slaves, I'm down with that, i cant solve 20 years without making more people. That is functionally a truly lost generation.
i feel like it could be a middle ground, where at first the children were used for labor but after the task they were used for was completed they were disposed of. Another idea i have no evidence for could be that the children were turned into the combine soldiers and stalkers
I want to ask something about the number of citadels on Earth, first of all English is not my first language so may be thats the problem here. When I read this sentence: "The destructive pulse forced a damper on the entire network of linked Citadel reactors." I think that is talking about the reactors inside the Citadel, a single one but, people always say that there are more so, does this sentence truly implies that there are Citadels in plural?
I can’t imagine living under the Combine. And so suddenly too. I went to bed free, and woke up with a whole war having started and ended, and we have new overlords. Oh… I didn’t plan to live my life the way I wanted anyway.
I wonder how the original devs who made the lore, thought up a way how the combine could prevent people from partaking in coitus? The only way that would be possible to achieve it, is to have citizens literally segregated. Yet I think in HL2 we saw that citizens weren't segregated. The combine offering the civil protection this benefit also implies that people still had these urges, you think the combine would have developed some chemical to put into the water to just kill off peoples urges.
Well, I mean consistent world building is not Half-Lifes strongest point cause while making the series Gaben and the team used what is called Scientific Mysticism Narrative - it allowed both for plausible sci-fi elements like evil highly advanced alien Empires with energy weapons and teleportation from another universe and mystical Noosphere psionic hermit green lighting magic lighting bolt from DnD flinging mini-cyclops to exist in the same franchise. Kinda like W40K where you have advanced powered by science, atomic energy and fuel giant robots, massive space ships and exo-suites/power armor on one hand and on the other hand literall magical demons from figurative-literall Hell and Chaos space warlocks and sorcerers.
hey, skyrion, i have been meaning to ask: do you have enough material to maybe cover the cat that is mentioned throughout half life 2 by barney and kleiner?
I wouldn't want to bring a child into that world. I wouldn't want to brought into a world like that. Our job is to protect our innocent and give them a happy innocent childhood, it would be almost impossible to do so.
I need to take a break from terrifying thoughts. I've already read too much (seen too much) and this is too much for now. It makes me weep that there is a segment of people who prey upon the completely helpless. To say it's degenerate is polite. You screw with children's minds or their bodies, you have signed a pact with evil which can never be undone.

Though I really just wanted to hear what the G-man has to say, in that distinctive voice and talking pattern. Actually I am aching to know what role the advisors play in HL3, But I will put aside my desire to actually fight one if I only get a book to write about it. @@Skyrionn
@@Skyrionn I ask if it’s okay cause my girlfriend said an hour before you uploaded this “I’m coming over, you better be able to tell me the full lore surrounding children in half-life or I’m breaking up with you.” I didn’t know what I was gonna do until you uploaded this. You saved a man’s relationship!
I think the suppression field is spookier because it's something that no human power, however awful they might have been, has been ale to do on that scale.
I can't imagine how horrible it would have been to actually live through the invasion. you'd be separated from you loved ones not knowing if they are still alive. your home getting destroyed or forcibly removed with no way of returning. Some pretty scary stuff

Hyped for more half life beta stuff
*C H I L D R E N*
Whats sad is that if humanity wins, the countries wont be the same they might have to form new ones

I double dog dare you to not use Triage At Dawn at the end of the video in your next video

Mr. Corporal Adrian Shepard it's time for your.....re employment.
I pray one day we hear those words.
At this point I would love just a book to close the Half Life story. Is that too much to ask?
I'd love a book too. More lore could be added.
Though I really just wanted to hear what the G-man has to say, in that distinctive voice and talking pattern. Actually I am aching to know what role the advisors play in HL3, But I will put aside my desire to actually fight one if I only get a book to write about it. @@Skyrionn
What a thumbnail!
I don't understand. Why are there no kids?
Watch it again and take notes
Skyrionn, is it okay for me to say that you are my hero? :)
That''s kind of you to say
@@Skyrionn
I ask if it’s okay cause my girlfriend said an hour before you uploaded this “I’m coming over, you better be able to tell me the full lore surrounding children in half-life or I’m breaking up with you.”
I didn’t know what I was gonna do until you uploaded this.
You saved a man’s relationship!
A child 👁️👄👁️
so dark and griddy
There must have been a mission where we save the children. (I hope)
Come Girls lets get Busy😂

One has to wonder how the trout population is faring..
I think the suppression field is spookier because it's something that no human power, however awful they might have been, has been ale to do on that scale.
A great point
I can't imagine how horrible it would have been to actually live through the invasion. you'd be separated from you loved ones not knowing if they are still alive. your home getting destroyed or forcibly removed with no way of returning.
Some pretty scary stuff
My buddy you just described not only combine invasion but also normal invasions and wars
Sorry, Gordon! The princess is in another Citadell!
