That actually did catch me off guard with the silent rebel just breaking his neck on the table for no reason. Almost seems like it should be funny but it just unsettled me.
I think it would've been easy for valve to just remove the incorrect voiceline from that scene to not have Mike shapiro just randomly be there but they didn't, so maybe Barney is hiding somewhere nearby, probably without the pizza and John freeman.
Good evening. Today's Richter Overtime tribute comes straight from the man himself, so I'm definitely eager to get started. Today's video is called 'Creepy Barney Easter Egg', present in half life 2: Episode 2. Barney, being one of the main characters in the series and first seen in Half Life 1, is a fairly cheery guy and treated more as a comic relief than anything. Let's see how they subvert that expectation, shall we? Immediately, we see the lowered resolution, implying the player is either using an outdated, early version of the game, or scaling it down to work with less capable hardware. Using this effect is quite common with ARGs and helps add to the mystique We see Gordon entering a rebel outpost, where they all cheer and shout his name, one of the rebels, however, keeps quiet and only responds when interacted with. Odd, sure, but could just be a scripting bug The players attention is brought to the clutter on the floor, and moving it aside, they reveal a secret hatch. The half life games have always had a lot of secret locations to explore, often rewarding Gordon with ammo or weapons, these are called Lamba caches. Stepping inside, we see a door, and dropping from the lader... They approach The hatch above closes, catching the player off guard. It's quite common for doors to shut behind the player, but the timing definitely seems unnerving... Regardless, they open the door and proceed. Barney is there, along with another Rebel. Barney offers the player some pizza, an object I'm fairly certain isn't actually present in the Half Life games. However, with no way to 'eat' it, the player fires the pizza into a wall, clearly a little disappointed It's here we notice the Rebel, slamming his head into a table. It doesn't look like an error, the animation is very fluid and realistic, and you can notice their neck bending, as if breaking, after a few impacts. Barney isn't at all bothered, adding to the unnerving air, and instead excuses this insane encounter with: "Don't mind him, Gordon, we've all been on edge" The video ends as the player shoots the Rebel, and still, Barney says nothing, staring blankly forward, clutching himself. The Barney A.I is coded to shout when the player commits friendly fire, seeing him not doing so is definitely strange The video ends abruptly, leaving us in the dark There's not a lot to theorise on, but it's definitely a well made little snippet. A reflection of the possible mental trauma fighting the combine has on Barney, or perhaps Gordon, as this could be a psychotic episode We've all been on edge, after all...
you can make an npc enemy to the player using ai_relationship, and there is a setting that you can make both ways, but likely it was set that the player is a enemy to the rebel

same here
Same
Yeah, that was really creepy, especially how crudely animated it was compared to most of hl2's character animations
I don't think that rebel is human
The low quality actually gives a 2009 vibes to this video.
I actually thought it was.

the most creepy thing is that he somehow killed the rebel.
Let the man enjoy his pizza and beer. He clearly needs it
Where's Gordon's beer??????
1:23 me after the lobotomy
true
Just saw u in another comment section on interloper 2 lmfao

Ok
Is this the holy bible of the one and only barney?
Bro wrote a whole book
yes-🤓
I am the only one who actually read this.
Bro went insane 💀
He can't take it anymore
Thanks for this video! I didn't know it even existed in EP2... Honestly im still surprised there are many easter eggs ive missed myself in HL2.
This man found Barney and gave me goosebumps
I would've believed it if it was 2009 or smth
POV : mr when playing tf2 and there only bot when i join the server
1:24
this is real.... typler mcvicker showed it to me in his dungeon where he hosts the bots..
my dumbass thought this was real for a sec💀
☡︎
My dumbass actually booted up my xbox one and orange box to find this but it wasnt real
1:24 guys I’m gonna try this irl !!!
Most likely this is in Garrys Mod as you can’t kill NPCs in Half Life 2 and so on. Unless you use a console command.
But it has hud hints (removed in gmod) and that animation when looking at a friendly npc (also removed in gmod)
@@insertnamehere2062 Half-Life 2 Episodic mods are pretty easy to make, so that's probably it!
I don't know much about hammer editor but maybe he made it so that the rebel could be killed (if it was used)
you can make an npc enemy to the player using ai_relationship, and there is a setting that you can make both ways, but likely it was set that the player is a enemy to the rebel
Or it implies that maybe he shouldve killed the rebel.
Wow thanks for the pizza, Barney!
I really love this, this flashes back to the early 2000s where little kids make these clickbait videos
proof that barney is just hiding his drunkness from gordon
Was I the only one expecting a “cleverly done, Mr. Freeman” moment?
The npc is alive he beafed his head so real
I Know This Isn't Serious Or Real, But This Is Now My Favourite Video On RUclips.
I remember watching this a Year ago and thinking It Was real (I didn't have the game to check at The time, and i thought It Was a 2008/9 video)
This... isn't real.
Why did i try this, i am so gullible
Lore of Half life 2 episode 2 creepy barney secret momentum 100
Is this a callback to that one video from years back where it said barney was in episode 2?
I hope in next Half-Life we'll see Barney again.
Barney is not ghost. He just going for beer that he owed Gordon.
If this was made 6 years ago I wouldn’t have thought it was fake right away haha
I.......didn't know about this place 😮😮
The low quality video is spot on as well.
Were the Barney voicelines actually from Mike shapiro himself or were they made with some A.I voice app and are being masked by the low audio quality?
Probably A.I
@@RichterOvertime for real? Also hi richter
@@Danblak08 or actual voicelines
so crazy!!!! rated five starss
