Penny being so dedicated to destruction that she reveals things that the dedicated Half-Life fan didn’t know about is too perfect
It's crazy what new stuff you can find when you got fresh eyes.
The most penny thing imaginable
She also did a grenade trick that wasnt in this video
But was at the vod in like 2:58:00
Like really I didn't know that you can break the cabinets at all lmao
8:16 “Yeah, those were dogs right?” Do No Harm-core
penny is such a menace with a crowbar huh
It makes me extremely happy to know that my favourite educational channel is a fan of my favourite shitpost channel
Wait snapcube is an educational channel
I played bass in Menace With A Crowbar
crowbar talking to her like the green goblin mask
She is literally the dumb ways to die song. And that's coming from an Aussie...
Also@jaebebifi that profile pic is such a culture shock to see.
Normally Penny has issues killing friendly NPCs with friendly fire on accident but Sophie instilled some sorta dark urge into her and now it's her horrific mission she's compelled to complete
Nah, people just view the Half Life scientists as lil' bugs and creatures you can poke with sticks
Sophie bloodlusted Penny
@GorbWasHereThe rest of us have actual souls, and don't enjoy pestering little fellas
to be fair if sophie told me to do anything in that voice iunno if i could say no to that
@quantumblur_314 souls are a skill issue
when i was younger, i often got Gordon Freeman and Morgan Freeman confused
Gorgan Freeman
That's understandable. Similarly, when I was younger, I was taken aback that Eminem wasn't a candy, but a popular, influential icon. I confused the wrapper, with the Rapper.
Not one original experience
@anusername8350 Dead internet theory?
Gordon starts with G like "Gee whiz this guy doesn't talk," Morgan starts with M for "Mgee whiz this guy talks."
vodheading it up
in the snapped club. straight up "vodheading it". and by "it", haha, well. let's justr say. My cube
@lhzoz7 i giggled
First name vod, last name head
"Why so vod?" - The Header
vodhead gang!!
18:40 is the funniest delivery of 'yippee' i've heard. i legitimately could not stop laughing for more than a minute
pennys so good at acting people celebrate in the most entertaining ways
_YYYYYYYIPPPIIIEEE!_
Fun Half-Life trivia: Gordon Freeman was officially accepted as a Black Mesa employee on May 5th, the events that happen in Black Mesa occur on May 16th. It's not his first day, but he's only been there for less than 2 weeks before he unleashes hell
The man is just a bringer of chaos. I wonder if he set off riots at his PhD program
But dude has an "Employee of the Month" picture, and just about everyone you run into has heard of you? I think he's worked there for longer than 2 weeks.
@TheBleggh the employee of the month picture is from the expansions which are non canon! The scientists knowing your name is simply player reinforcement :)
@TheBleggh it was a *very* productive two weeks
@TheBleggh The "Employee of the Month" picture is just Gearbox plugging in a clumsy easter egg for memberberries. Though it could be handwaved as organizations often automatically praising a new guy to gain his loyalty and also because he made the least enemies. (Like City Councils often electing the latest member to be the leader. Or the Supreme Court also doing the same.)
6:34 the silliest thing about this is that opposing force shows that gordon is ALSO somehow employee of the month, despite being new AND being late. that's commitment to the job right there!
my favorite part of this game is when gordom looks to the camera and sighs and says it feels like I've been fighting these aliens for half of my life
Sigh…I miss my wife, Tails.
Alyx: "Yeah, I've been fighting for half of my life too."
@JeffreyThrash no, that's "this vortal coil" in half-life 2 episode 2
@gamertypeawesome yes, he's a multi-headed dullahan
gordom
35:17 you know it's a good game when it makes Penny hit that R2-D2 scream
House Finch
They cut Penny's life in half
so true mae
econony in shambels
I hope they don't shift her blue
I’ve heard she’s been confronted with an Opposing Force
If this continues shes going to decay
To everyone whos feeling insecure about being around or over 27 while gordon freeman was a theoretical physicist- in canon hes extremely young for his profession and everyone in his workplace hates him for being a super genius freak. Also he DID cause the resonance cascade and i dont think you did so i think youre doing pretty ok :)
Caused-a-resonance-cascade-at-30 John is gonna hate this comment
@afinnishfishnet7366 LMFAOOO
I didn't blow up a science building and get sent to alien heck when I turned 30 😔
@afinnishfishnet7366My-god-what-are-you-doing Andy, over here
He has a theoretical degree in Physics, not a degree in Theoretical Physics
GOODNESS GRACIOUS THERES HEADCRAP IN HERE
i love playing with brown crowbars in headcrap
New music in the ending...?
NEW PENNY IN THE ENDING?!?!?! IT'S SO PRETTY!!!
ik right it's awesome!!! so exciting!!
btw, snapcube encyclopedic fact, while it is new to this channel the art was made last year for her ff7 rebirth playthrough over on snapcube 2 :3
ikr??? Its so pretty
a pretty penny...
28:26 the ps2 exclusive multiplayer expansion Half-Life: Decay actually canonically shows that yuri helped *cause* the Resonance Cascade
Penny Parker in the flesh, or should I say in the Twitch stream.
3:48 ok, crazy story, I was at a gas station, and I lock the door as any normal person would. I’m just doing my stuff, going through the motions, and out of nowhere, I hear someone push on the door, and I thought maybe they’d get the hint that it was locked. NO. THEY BROKE THE DOOR DOWN. THEY SOMEHOW GOT THE LOCK TO DISLODGE AND SAW MY LITERAL WHITE SHINING PALE ASS. I WAS SO SCARED AND SO MAD. Like it was locked! It was all the way in! What was this guy thinking?!
Dude had to dump so bad he Heavy Attacked the door.
ooooohhhh
i thought you were at the gas station, in your car
not inside the station itself
i thought some person just randomly broke into your car with no rhyme or reason
thank you for the story, Faust Guilty Gear Strive
Great story, Faust Guilty Gear
What the hell???
7:54 penny saying “it’s geen!!!“ has become permanent echolalia to me and i first heard her say it a week ago
17:05 Sophie being Penny's symbiote
Penny played this like a LEGO game
I am screaming over the fact that the second after Penny said the "I get two heals joke" at 18:45 I actually got an ad for Wicked
13:54 fun fact about dumpster scientist! He's actually standing on a tiny elevator that you can't see unless you noclip. When he ducks back into the dumpster you can see him smoothly slide down from the tiny elevator descending
I actually brought that up during the VOD if I'm not mistaken!
@SophieBaybey_VODS oh shit I'm thwarted
penny doesnt need to hear all this, shes a trained gamer
She’s the biggest girl alive
I love how a majority of game play is trying to see who will be Gordon's friend at Black Mesa
7:53 *_IT'S GEEN_*
my ritual of watching snapcube nightly resulting in nearly 400 hours watched this year has finally paid off time to buy a lottery ticket
i saw this in my notifs and literally went "yaaayyyyy!!!"
smiling, kicking my feet, giggling, twirling my hair, spinning around, doing a little dance... happy!!!
@nebelung_nebula So real
oh my gosh me too
no you didn't. i have equipment in your home monitering you and you did not do this. stop lying to these good people on the internet or the FULL FORCE of the FURY of the KING of 10 MILLION sunsets will barrel down upon you like NOTHING which you have EVER seen
5:05 "Laser! Caution! Laser! Caution! Laser! Caution! Laser! What could it mean?"
Shoutout to anyone who gets the reference.
I literally say it out loud every time i replay
Is it a Freeman's Mind reference? It feels like a Freeman's Mind reference.
Ah geez, I'm running _late..._
I remember playing Half Life on my phone solely because I was playing with nothing but emulators at the time and thought given how old the game is and how simplistic the graphics are, I might as well see if I could do it, best mobile gaming moments of my life
No joke, you can play Half-Life on a 3DS.
IT EVEN GOT A VIDEO GUH
16:14 "he doesn't even know how to eat box" my mouse cursor was JUST about to pause the video to type out "haha lol idiot doesn't even know how to eat box" as a cunnilingus joke but then the editor beat me to it.
26:45 holy shit Penny, I haven't thought about the Phil Collins/ NSYNC, acapella, exclusive-to-the-album-of-the-film-of-the-same-name version of Trashin' the Camp from Disney's Tarzan in literal *decades* but damn if you didnt bring it rushing back just now.
Oh god me too
Penny and the devil on her shoulder
This is my first experience of either of you and I am not only thrilled with more HL content but delighted at your dynamic. Here's hoping you finish the series!
The full vod for this video (and two more vods since they've progressed even further into the game) are all on Snapcube 2, and it's all super entertaining and worth watching if you like their dynamic! There're so many memorable jokes that were cut in this video so I highly recommend watching the full unedited one ^u^
44:56 for a split second I thought Penny was wearing a Wedding dress
Is she not? That’s still the only thing I see
@weszszszszszbrides usually don’t wield Spear like weapons during their weddings, as if they did then it’d be a VERY different kind of ceremony
@kylebooface6359 some brides are special
they should
Literally the way the scientists treat Freeman feels like hes a cat. And his reactions make him seem like a cat too.
0:11 Is that a new intro!?!
44:54 _and_ new outro babyy!
@galaxychill9578Omg it's so pretty!💜💜💜
In the you'd tube straight up watching it
in the mesa straight up blacking it
in the life straight up halfing it
In the cascade straight up resonating it
In the free man, straight up gordon it.
Penny doesn't need to hear this, they're a highly trained professional
they call me mrs half-life trifecta: streamhead, vodhead, mainchannelhead
samus as mom png and chief as dad png on her desktop i love herrr
Wait till penny plays whole life
7:53 this has infested my brain with worms, i now say "it's geen" when i see green things.
33:06 i cant articulate why this is making me laugh as much as it is but oh my god the terror, it was like she was fallign forreal. i have tears in my eyes XD
Omg the way she gasped 😆
Pure fear
4:54 is it any wonder people are afraid of technology
4:33 “HELLO GOR-“
She should have brought her passport.
28:05 Good lord I'm crying at that scream
"HELLO GORDAN!"
26:55 Glad to see that my favorite bit from the vod with the nosferatu hands zombie made it into the edit.
Sophie is 100% a certified Half-Lifer with her thoughts on Black Mesa and the HD models. It's so wonderful to watch a video of a kindred soul losing her mind.
4:25 I think it's crazy that this baby is now about the same age as Penny, assuming that image was in the game when it came out in 98
11:20, I played Half-Life dozens of times since 1999 and even I didn't know you could smash the monitors.
Oh good, I wasn’t the only one who got that “dancing through life” song stuck in my head for the next two months after seeing Wicked in theaters.
By the way thank you so much for including the speaker names in the subtitles, Sophie!! I really appreciate it and I'm sure others do as well!!
4:56 powerpoint jumpscare
5:56 the range on this RUclipsr is INSANE. Fr made me think some random guy just walked in
15:54 i can't beleieve she guessed that half life is older than the snes and sonic the hedgehog before she guessed 1998
being early to a snapcube upload feels so weird to me
Rise and shine people, rise and shine!
Not to imply you have been sleeping on the vod
The right vod-head in the wrong place can make all the dif-ference in the world, Ms. Parker.
5:06 “CAUTION! LASER! CAUTION! LASER! CAUTION! LASER! CAUTION! LASER! What could it mean?”
"My god, what are you doing?!"
"Fiiish bone"
this is infinitely more exciting than half life 2 rtx
the "uh oh y'all it's gettin kinda hazy" reference is insane
3:19 Dry Chip had taken over for a moment
OH FUCK YES THESE ARE BBEING UPLOADED TO THE MAIN CHANNEL TOO LETS GO
Gordon! I saw myself in the video Gordon!
39:28 Fun fact: grenades deal 1 damage on contact and make a comedic clank sound when a grunt hits you in the head with one, complete with blood vfx!
P (16) - E (5) + N (14) - N(14) + Y (25) - P (16) - A (1) + R (18) - K (11) - E (5) - R (18) = 3! HALF-LIFE 3 CONFIRMED!
23:31 penny starting a joke and getting scared and screaming as she finishes it is like maybe one of my favorite things
5:06 Obligatory Freeman's Mind reference.
wait the editor is ellie spectacular of dathings fame???? how do all of the youtubers i watch end up collaborating!
26:44 A Disney Tarzan reference? In MY Half-Life?!
19:08 the idea of Fyero from Wicked being a black mesa employee and being the reason everything goes to shit is so funny to me
33:08 SAME THO. EVEN IN MINECRAFT, FALLING MAKES ME FEEL NAUSEOUS
Ive been watching the vods, seeing an edit pop up feels so weird
20:40 omg sonic underground ref /j
look I know fandubs are your main known videos but I do love these vod edits
23:31 guinea pig at the comedy club
27:00 jeez Penny's doctor/gman voice just sounds like Doug AND Rob Walker
Penny playing half-life is everything I've ever wanted
Hell yeah!
43:23 damn, my dad bought the game for us and giggled when we startled the witch
Fun times
God the captions are great lmao
I’m so vodheading rn
23:35 I need this animated with the sciencist doing the Spooky Month dance for like, 8 frames tops.
7:08 Saul Goodman voice: My TORSO or my PELViS or my TORSO or my PELViS or my….
"🎶You. Are not Freeman. You'renotevencapableof BEING Freeman. I had Freeman but now I don't
You
Are not
Freeman 🎶"
17:05 "I'm so tired Finn....."
Did I already watch this on Snapcube 2? Yes. Will I watch it again? Yes. Yes I will.
Hello Gordon
Loving these full life consequences
"Im... slowing you down, am I?" Pure evil
I hope she played the entire game
Dancing through life, dancing through half-life
Sophie's commentary makes this so much funnier, holy shit, she's bullshitting you so hard, Penny and I love the way you vibe.
this is like that weird youtube video with the coomer
Penny has theater kid energy
*Nooooooo...*
Remembering that Gordon Freeman is younger then than I am now hits a bit too close to home.
Tarzan music jumpscare brought me back tbh
New outro music? Kinda a banger
I did not need the fact that i am 4 years older than Gordon Freeman today.
