When Half Life 3 comes out and when we see this intro again, I bet his head will turn all the way around and stare into the camera until it fades. I won't be playing any Valve games for awhile.
I played portal for the first time last night at 2 a.m. because I was playing bock, I wanted to play something that I would finish by the morning and when I played the intro I was so scared that I automatically turned off the computer, I'm 17
I remember watching a ton of portal gameplays when I was little but never actually playing the game. When I finally decided to get the second game this intro got me so hyped. You just knew it was gonna be good
when i first saw this i thought my pc was haunted so i quickly turned it off and wouldn't turn it back on for the rest of the day until my friend told me it was the new Valve intro
i didn't expect it to move, because i was used to playing tf2 and half life, cs go and stuff like that but when i bought portal 2 and loaded it up first time i was playing at about half 10 at night all the lights were off because i forgot to turn them on when the natural light slowly depleted. i saw this, and absolutely bricked it. quit the game, and went to sleep straight away. :(
The Year Is 2020, And E3 is taking place. People watch as the large black screen fades into the African American dude with the valve on his head, and as the Hazardous Environments half-life theme plays, the guy turns his head enough to see his eye glisten, then turns all the way to face the audience. There is an orange three in his eye and the crowd erupts in excitement as the valve guy fades away and the orange three morphs into a lambda.
One of the most memorable video game company intros ever. The visual darkness and sound design just sticks with you. That drum loop at the end straight up belongs in a 90s trip hop album
Was a bit sleep deprived when I finally saw this intro since I usually skip em. Scared the shit out of me that I had to gather up the courage to see it again to see if that was really part of the intro. Good thing the turning movement was indeed part of it.
This scared the shit out of me as a kid to the point of traumatizing me for years until I became a teen. I had to walk into a different room during the opening just so I could feel safe.
I had a nightmare about this. I was playing some TF2 on the console, until the picture showed up. It was there for a few seconds then it faded. Then THE GODDAMN GUY ON THE PICTURE JUMPED OUT WITH HIS EYES WIDE OPEN.
Q loco ese hombre pelado siempre me traumo cuando entraba ah jugar ah half life y ahora me entero q tambien giira la cabeza despues de 20 años creo 😮 no es humano es de otro planeta amoo Half life hasta la muerte la puta q lo pario aguante argentinaaaa❤

Ik I literally watch this exact video few months ago and I can see his nose now I don't remember that
@@99dazemusic mandela effect? constant secret update? or maybe he just actually turns more every time you launch it?
@@ei991 The guy turning more and more everytime people launch the game could make for a good SCP lol
@@RockyLightyeah but one question… are you alive?

When I first played portal 2 I nearly shit myself
Hawkeyesniper45 me too lol
I got nightmares

Jesus Christ that scared me so bad I wasn't paying attention and in the corner of my eye i see him move
The Intro Guy: Can you get this valve outta my head? *Starts to turn around*
Valve: No! Now stay the Fuck Still!
LOL. This comment made my day.
Bbbccvh

Did you notice that you can see a little bit of his eye?
yeah
yup
TD RollinsR yep, that's creppy
Prepare for nightmares
Open Your Mind

This was unexpected, it scared the shit out of me.
when ever I load up one of the new valve games I just run...
Wish it happens more often. Portal 3... HL3...
@@leberkassemmel lol gayben isn't going to allow any games with ''3'' on the title
fking scared kid

No. It stands still on half lite alyx
@@BirthdayIsALie yea but he's freakin' *HUGE* now, still got me spooked
@@BirthdayIsALie He turns a bit.
he turns a bit, but doesn't turn the way this guy does in portal 2
yes but actually no
*Plays portal 1*
Me: Woah! This guy with a valve in his head is kind of creepy
*Plays portal 2*
Me: Nope nope nope nope nope
Nightmare dosent just ends there
@@ynog0978 GLaDOS: *allow me to introduce myself*
That literally scared the shit out of a lot of people including me.
I remember the first time see thbe new intro and i turn my pc off cause i was so scared ;D
@@p_filippouz Wait So that Glados Crush 0w0 no wonder
Portal is a masterpiece and this opening is one of the many reasons.
the power of valve holds him back
Portal 2: rated E for Everyone
Portal 2 startup: Rated M for Mature
I Hide Every Time I Boot Up Portal 2
I immediately click space
imagine if someone rotated that valve
lol
"I fear no man, but that thing... it scares me."
This is one of the reasons why Valve is, and always will be my favorite video game company.
The first time i saw this intro i got some mean goosebumps
weak
remember seeing this the first time when booting up portal 3, its so scary!
Woah you be livin in the future. When does portal 3 release?
@@bogiesmigforl1 Let me guess, Sadly never.
No valve can't count to 3. Fake
Huh, it will never be Portal 3, because Valve had no interest in making it, seeing it as a 'joke'.
when i first saw this i thought my pc was haunted so i quickly turned it off and wouldn't turn it back on for the rest of the day until my friend told me it was the new Valve intro
The first time I played a valve game I made fun of the thing on the back of his head. When I played Portal 2 I never slept again.
That thing in his neck IS a valve 💀💀 thats where the company got its name from
I remember seeing this on Dota 2, I was like: "Dafuq just happened?"
DaBaby
My heart was beating fast when I saw this
wow this new intro seems really cool I wonder what games will release with it
Pot roll too
Oneshot pfp detected
i didn't expect it to move, because i was used to playing tf2 and half life, cs go and stuff like that but when i bought portal 2 and loaded it up first time i was playing at about half 10 at night all the lights were off because i forgot to turn them on when the natural light slowly depleted. i saw this, and absolutely bricked it. quit the game, and went to sleep straight away. :(

Same here, except I was like 6 years old when it happened lol.

Man I only played the first 10 minutes of Half Life 1 but I want a HL3 so much. Humanity needs it. I just can't believe Valve won't do it
i know when my portal 2 updated this i was scaring my ass off
me too

HL3 Theory: Half-Life 3 is taking so long because they're trying to find the Valve guy so they can get a full head turn.
not bad.
Sadly, that won't happen as they have no idea who he was. He was just someone they plucked off the streets, and then he disappeared again
they could just use anyone with a similar look
Half life 3 will not be
Holy shit! This intro gives me soooo much nostalgia!
this is gman's employer.
At first i was like "oh it's just that weird guy again"
and then he started to look toward me and i was like " HOLY %^$&ING $%^*
“I fear no man, but that thing……”
Valve Guy turning his head
“It scares me….”
everybodys gangasta until he turns around the entire way
everybody gangsta til Mr. Valve's head starts turning
I’ve played so much of portal 1,2 and still alive and how have I not noticed this
gosh this always used to freak me out when i was a kid.
Was a bit sleep deprived when I finally saw this intro since I usually skip em. Scared the shit out of me that I had to gather up the courage to see it again to see if that was really part of the intro.
Good thing the turning movement was indeed part of it.
In portal 3 the guy is gonna finally look at you
I used to spam click to skip the intro before he turns around
you can skip the intro?
@@KwikBR Just press Enter.
i remember i was seeing this intro and scared as hell
Still the greatest video game intro ever made. You know you're about to play one of the best games you've ever experienced when you see this.
I bought both Portal games on Steam the other week. When I opened Portal 2 I was so scared and it was the middle of the night!
I remember when I was 6yo and my father bought me a cathode ray tube pc and bought me half life1 and this intro make always me cry
that had a completely different intro
When I saw this intro it gave me so much excitement
I have the GOTY version of Portal 2 and the intro is just the static image version. I didn’t know this one existed until years later.
This scared the shit out of me as a kid to the point of traumatizing me for years until I became a teen. I had to walk into a different room during the opening just so I could feel safe.
While everyone was scared, my 7 y.o. self back then was vibing to the beat while looking at this
Thumbs up if you saw one of his eyes
this scared the living shit out of me when i first played portal 2
I had a nightmare about this. I was playing some TF2 on the console, until the picture showed up. It was there for a few seconds then it faded. Then THE GODDAMN GUY ON THE PICTURE JUMPED OUT WITH HIS EYES WIDE OPEN.
I got so inspired by this intro like 10 years ago that I made it my own style and put it in my upcoming (release date: never releasing) game intro
This should be an intro for both Left 4 Deads
Scared the shit out of me the first time I saw this. I was like "WTF??? That guy never moved before!!!" 😱
This is so cool, it got some really good symbolic deep meaning to it too
what happens though if you turn the valve on his head?
@Marty Fourre nah BLUE valves are used for water, RED valves are used for STEAM, when you turn his valve he farts
in half life 3 this dude is gonna look at you, then look at somewhere else and fade
Dude, he fully looked at me
Also this is an optical illusion, btw lol.
music gets me all the time
When you stare at your crush and she look back at you.
I have Portal 2 numerous amount of time but I never seen it when I boot it up as I only get the old one
The guy: *Turns around* Are we done taking photos of the back of my head? we done this two times.
Dev: You did what we asked u to do turn around!
That one nano second of him fully looking at you and that cut where you could see his eyelids
Edit:OH FUCKING GOD I SAW HIS SKIN
Imagine playing portal 2 for the first time in the dark at 3am, and then you sh*t yourself and go hide under the covers with the game running idle
Everybody gangsta till this guy turns around and sees you.
man that has to be coach for left 4 dead 2
I thought I had dreamt that the valve guy turned around! Guess he really does.
**plays DOTA 2**
**sees the head turn around a bit**
**anedilntlty regrets it**
I first saw this intro when I was 12 and it was traumatizing, today I'm 24 and this shit still gives me the chill lol
I fear no men.
But that thing..
*valve guy turning head*
..It scares me..
Weird that on the PS3 version he doesn't turn around. When I repurhased it for PC and he did I had a heart attack.
And the Xbox 360
Pov: when me opening csgo 2012 and i hear this song from Valve
Scared the shit out of me when I first played DOTA 2
When I went to play portal 2 I was only 9 years old, I saw this intro and I quickly turned off the Xbox, I almost shit my pants 💀💀
Just imagine in the near future, Valve make a new game and then see the Valve intro man turn fully-around and look at everyone
That would be scary
everybody gangsta until the valve guy starts rotating his head towards you
Valve guy: hey valve get this valve out of my head please turns around: Valve: NO STAY THE FUCK STILL!!!!!
This logo looks like what a creppypasta would say! "And then the head turned to look at me and let out a blood curdling scream."
it's all smiles and jokes until it starts to talk...
everybody gangsta till valve man turns
Guys he is chris walker without blood
Left 4 Dead 2 is going to have The Last Stand update, I wonder if they will use this intro on the updated game version
Apart from the moving head that theme that plays after really is a bop
This scared the shit outta me.
Portal 1: oh
Portal 2: holy f*ck
Half life alyx: back off man BACK OFF
It started in Dota 2, and now it does this in Portal 2 as well after a recent update
Q loco ese hombre pelado siempre me traumo cuando entraba ah jugar ah half life y ahora me entero q tambien giira la cabeza despues de 20 años creo 😮 no es humano es de otro planeta amoo Half life hasta la muerte la puta q lo pario aguante argentinaaaa❤
I love this aesthetic
everybody gangsta till the head turn
Yo, what he hell? He just turned? Like
...he knew we were watching him!
Good ending (Halflife 2 update)
He protec
He attac
But most importantly he has no necc
How is it I've only JUST seen this?! Scared the shit out of me!
When I was younger I thought it was scary, But now I think it sounds good.
I'd like to hear the full version.
Everyone gangsta until he start to turn his head...
Everybody is gangster, until the valve dude turn around his head.
I legit didn't remember this intro. And I played Portal 2 like a maniac (xbox 360)
Wasn't on that, but then suddenly console players went PC and had nightmares
Couldn't agree more....
Bro when i booted up portal 2 for the first time, I ACTUALLY, NO, ITS NOT A JOKE, I ACTUALLY SHIT MYSELF, IM NOT KIDDING I LITERALLY DID
