Welcome Resistance Fighter. While you fight back against The Combine, be sure to listen to this guide on how to destroy them. Remember your AR3s to take them down! Some may say there is no such thing as an AR3 - they've just never seen one... This a collection of some of my older Half-Life videos. No intros, no outros. Just lore. Also gimme give a "like" if you also dream about cheese.
Your videos are awesome! So amazing to see how much love and care you put into your content, everything is so well edited and you are simply a great story teller. Keep at it and don't let up! Much love from maple syrup land🦆🍁
Thank you so much for the donation! I really appreciate it. It generally comes from a love of the series. I have so many topics I'm excited to explore too!
Half-Life is hands down my favorite media franchise ever because of the extravagant amount of detail and lore in the universe. I love all the work you do, Skyrionn!
@@SoziFang64 Yes, cause there is so microscopicly little of it. It is like comparing worlds smallest most detailed diamond to a giant gold ancient historical artifacts exhibition. The diamond is neat and cool but it pales in comparison to sheer size and depth of countless historical artifacts on display.
@diamondhamster4320 I really don't see how you think that there is not much lore and story in half-life, when the game is entirely narrative driven, having a lot of questions open for the player to interpret without them feeling like plotholes.
Bruh, watching all your half-life videos is very peaceful documentaries. I would fall asleep from watching the entirety of 3 hours, too good to relax to.
I was literally about to go back to sleep. A compilation of your videos I've already watched is what I needed. After I focus up and watch one of your videos, I routinely go back and keep them on in the background while I game, work, and sleep. Much love man, always appreciate your work
Crazy to think that the microwave was likely gordon's last act of free will, the last real time he did something because we wanted to (if we ignore the fact that he is controlled by the player)
I love this video to death, but the amount of times its autoplayed while I sleep. ive watched the whole thing at least 9 times in the past like week lmao
Omg same, it's like RUclips has decided that if it even suspects I might be sleeping, it will practically interrupt the video I'm currently watching to immediately play this one. 😂
This Channel is so underrated. I love your videos and have watched every single half-life and portal video you've made and thoroughly enjoy your channel.
I have listened to this to sleep so many times now. Such a great narration. The Gman is such a well played and memorable character. Every time I watch and you start on HL2 the "rise and shine" part gets stuck in my head. The voice actor does such a good job. Really hits that uncanny valley. "Wake up Mr. Freeman, wake up and smell the ashes."
Watched this whilst playing with Lego. I was sorting Lego. I also play this whenever I go to bed. And also whenever I wake up I just start watching it lol
109 Half-Life / Portal univerese videos! Keep up the amazing work man! (Also, as a side note, your voice is so soothing) (Also Also your story telling is unmatched, your voice, tone, and over all sound is the best ive ever heard) (Also Also Also i counted the videos with Half-Life / Portal characters in the thumbnail, title, and if the video is about Half-Life / Portal) Sorry if thats alot to read
I have never watched this video, yet every time I fall asleep to a youtube video, this video has concluded and is paused. This has happened half a dozen times at this point.
I would like to extend a personal thank you for this video. I remember when Laidlaw was actively dropping those posts and when he released the script for "Epistle 3", I figured Valve isn't going to take the story anywhere and this guy wrote it so this must be canon. It took a long time for people to even start really including the lore from Laidlaw in their videos and I mean, the topic had already been stale for many years. It just feels nice that someone took the time to organize all the data and to make a full video essay (a high quality one at that) and make it something that can actually be visualized. So yes, thank you Mr. Skyrionn.
The begining really shows you the small details in the textures of half life, like the strider in the seven hour war poster. Also im sorta confused why someone who goes by skyrionn never talks about skyrim(except that one time 5 years ago) . I need a video on the most emotionally brutal ways to steal faendals crush from him
Half-Life is full of those small details. I did consider Skyrim, and the Elder Scrolls but there are already some amazing content creators that cover it!
Spectacularly done video. I never realized how utterly terrifying this all would be. Something similar happening feels more plausible now than ever before, imo.
I have great memories of playing half-life 1 for the first time and Blue Shift immediately after. I was and still am fascinating to play through a game from a different perspective and allowing a deeper understanding of that world.
@@SkyrionnNot a problem, mate. You could say I am a little obsessed with Half-Life. I rather like watching your videos on repeat! Just wondering if you accidently Hearted then UN-Hearted my comment. Love your work and the way you narrate and thank you for the hours of easy listening.
for Jeff's section Valve basically look at the last of us part two saw the rat king section and said "let's make that incredibly horrifying and make jeff basically immortal till the trash compactor."
1:23:53 ubironicly when the hakf life zombies scream for help unreverse its "hjælp mig" which is danish for help me, it scared me at first when i noticed it when i played half life for the first time
A new fantastic discovery! The best content to listen to while relaxing 🔥 Maybe one day there's a really thorough Diablo lore series, which is as calming and thorough as this 🙏
As a Half-Life fan, I'm so excited to watch this video, thanks bro ♥️ I know it's been a loooong way to play the next Half-Life. Love it more than GTA VI
Wow. when you posted your last video on G-man i thought finally! this is the one I've waiting for since discovering your channel and amazing content, and it was brilliant! and then you top that by bringing all the lore together I one video for me to watch at work in my excavator, thank you :D
Love all your work, man! I'll always enjoy the HL videos, without a doubt. I have a suggestion (yes, I am THAT idea guy) if you're looking to branch out a tiny bit, like with SOMA.. Prey (2017) is an unbelievably fantastic game that I think is overlooked too often. The world is fantastically created, it has a somewhat rigid timeline of events, and so so so much background information that fill in the blanks. Is it obvious I am too into Prey? :)
@@Skyrionn No worries! The storyline in it fits in so well with Half-life and portal that it's difficult not to consider it cannon! But you still need to do what works for you
I love your lore videos, but let me ask you something, why did you never make a Left 4 Dead full lore video? People believe that Half-Life, Portal, and Left 4 Dead are from the same universe, I would love to know how with a deep lore video like yours.
Next up : Manhacks because i think they where used by humans to dispatch zombies and perhaps antlions and barnacles before the combine invaded Earth. As the name suggest manhacks are man made and where never designed to attack man , but the combine took these toys , improved them and made them more deadly for everyone.
Interesting theory, what are some ideas pointing towards humans making them? I always saw them as another tool by the combine. I like the idea of them being used on areas that are infested since it’d be dangerous to go in by foot.
@@Ccberry98 there is an unused assassin in Half Life 1 with adapted saws. When bullets ran out and im sure we used the nukes , we used saws but when combine came they made it deadly and used it against us.
I'd love to see someone do a lore video of Half Life but IRL lore, all the pop culture references and influences up until 1998 that went into the world. Gordon really reminds me of The Arrival (1996). Scientist with goatee and glasses fights aliens in the southwest desert.

i dreamed about cheese before it was even cool (aka before the "sometimes i dream about cheese" meme)
have you played the Like a Dragon series? (aka Yakuza) you should make lore videos on that
When L4D lore?
There is no AR3 o_O
welcome fighter, take up your Ar3 and prepare yourself. Don't forget, don't let it overcharge
Random thought i had while watching this, not related to HL lore but
I'd kill for an official Half-life lego set
Sadly never happening.
I would listen to a podcast that just discusses Half Life lore for hours, days and months
Maybe one day!

"No intros, no outros, just lore"
Me seeing a part of the video called "Introduction"
This cracked me up beyond reason.
Reminds me of another comment, but on a Metal Gear video that went like
"-Buys anti war game.
-looks inside.
-War."
Your videos are awesome! So amazing to see how much love and care you put into your content, everything is so well edited and you are simply a great story teller. Keep at it and don't let up! Much love from maple syrup land🦆🍁

or like 1/1000 of DnD lore or 1/10000000 of Warhammer 40K lore.
@diamondhamster4320 half life is the definition of quality > quantity when it comes to lore though

a lovely 3 hour mapping and modelling session, how perfect! thanks skyrionn!!
Happy to help out in any way!

When you fall asleep while watching some random bs on yt and wake up hearing „oh god please help me“.
Whole new level of half life immersion.
Bruh, watching all your half-life videos is very peaceful documentaries. I would fall asleep from watching the entirety of 3 hours, too good to relax to.
Glad you like them!
I’ve been putting these on as I get into bed. Something about the content and your voice helps me fall asleep. That’s a compliment not an insult lol.
same, but what if we were together 😮
How bad are the other employees when the guy who is chronically late is awarded Employee of the Month?
I was literally about to go back to sleep. A compilation of your videos I've already watched is what I needed. After I focus up and watch one of your videos, I routinely go back and keep them on in the background while I game, work, and sleep.

I'm so glad! Thanks for watching them! I appreciate you
Same he is the perfect person to enjoy and sleep too his media is top tier
Nice! I know what I'm going to listen to while working on DBs today. Thanks for putting out the compilation!

@@Skyrionn Thank you! I wouldn't post it if I didn't mean it.
As a half life “fanatic” I love your videos never stop making and creating
It is an incredible series. I have so many more topics to cover too
I always love seeing the perspective of half life almost everyone knows and understands after learning the half life lore
Thanks for making these videos, they're a great listen while I'm busy building models or cleaning my room. Keep up the good work!
This is absolutely GREAT for DEEP CODING!!!
Thanks Skyrionn 😁
You're very welcome! Perfect timing
your voice is so calming oml
I woke up to this video in the middle of the night and immediately vomited, coincidence?
Weird, me too
dank u well.
im on a week holiday and im basically just chillin in bed, just what i needed.
Have fun!
I have listened to this to sleep so many times now. Such a great narration. The Gman is such a well played and memorable character. Every time I watch and you start on HL2 the "rise and shine" part gets stuck in my head. The voice actor does such a good job. Really hits that uncanny valley. "Wake up Mr. Freeman, wake up and smell the ashes."
I was introduced to this legendary game in 1999. I don't remember how many times I finished it. Maybe more than 10. Half-Life is the game of my life.
Watched this whilst playing with Lego. I was sorting Lego. I also play this whenever I go to bed. And also whenever I wake up I just start watching it lol
I fall asleep to your videos they are oddly relaxing lol
Glad you like them!
Somehow RUclips always recommends this whenever i finish watching videos.. and always end up watching thi in its entirety
I appreciate your service
watching the stalker lore high asf im terrified 😂
Just what I needed. You’re a godsend.
Perfect timing
As I started listening about the stalkers, the first thing that came to mind was - Warhammer 40k sends it's regards.
i had no idea i needed it until now. This right here made me wanna play half life and watch more lore videos
109 Half-Life / Portal univerese videos! Keep up the amazing work man!
(Also, as a side note, your voice is so soothing)
(Also Also your story telling is unmatched, your voice, tone, and over all sound is the best ive ever heard)
(Also Also Also i counted the videos with Half-Life / Portal characters in the thumbnail, title, and if the video is about Half-Life / Portal)
Sorry if thats alot to read
>brutal fight
>he fired a single RPG
truly traumatizing amounts of action

I have never watched this video, yet every time I fall asleep to a youtube video, this video has concluded and is paused. This has happened half a dozen times at this point.
was thinking about rewatching to renew my knowledge and this is perfect for that
This video pops up in my feed constantly, I'm tired of waking up to it.
I fell asleep watching youtube… apparently this played while i was asleep
3 hours Half life... I LOVE THIS SO MUCH 😍😍😍😍
I love that you love them. I appreciate you watching them

3 hours? well aight bet. let me get my Pop Corn and Drinks
This is going to be fun
I hope you enjoyed it!

I have great memories of playing half-life 1 for the first time and Blue Shift immediately after. I was and still am fascinating to play through a game from a different perspective and allowing a deeper understanding of that world.
There is NO FORGIVENESS for Valve to never produce the last Borealis episode!
just found your channel. Listening to these got me to reinstall the Black Mesa Fan game. I also do SFM content around stuff i like.
I thought this would have been longer.
Great watch and really well assembled. really like watching this.
I appreciate you putting the time into such a long video!
@@SkyrionnNot a problem, mate. You could say I am a little obsessed with Half-Life.

Just wondering if you accidently Hearted then UN-Hearted my comment.
Love your work and the way you narrate and thank you for the hours of easy listening.
It's a great story, really. I'm sad there are people out in the world who have never played any of the HalfLife games. :P
for Jeff's section Valve basically look at the last of us part two saw the rat king section and said "let's make that incredibly horrifying and make jeff basically immortal till the trash compactor."
severely underrated honestly :3
every time i fall asleep this video ends up on queued videos and end up listening to 3 hours of half life lore
Can't believe RUclips autoplayed to this when I fell asleep watching a 1 hour iceberg vid. Then my phone died at the 1:50:22 mark.
Finally! Now I can become a highly trained professional!!!
and you can dream about cheese!
Gordan doesn't need to hear all this.
1:23:53 ubironicly when the hakf life zombies scream for help unreverse its "hjælp mig" which is danish for help me, it scared me at first when i noticed it when i played half life for the first time
I fell asleep to this and woke up at the end where everything was described with different names and was so confused
A new fantastic discovery! The best content to listen to while relaxing 🔥 Maybe one day there's a really thorough Diablo lore series, which is as calming and thorough as this 🙏
If it all ends with a time loop, I'd cry.
this video is probably more engaging and entertaining than any illumnation movie ever has been
I haven't seen any of the but I appreciate the compliment regardless
My favorite series on RUclips rn
My lovely Ichtiosaur, this is the exact thing I needed to go to sleep, this one video will feed my entire week.
you are king my sir... got myself 2 tattoo´s of half life, i love it + ur voice + all the things i didn´t know. you my friend, you bow to no one!
This man has been my sleep track for so long now
This + Portal lore video = good workshift
It’d probably taste like layered cake with different flavors every layer, but it would still come out to tasting pretty great.
You know……
When you say “no intros or outros,” that in itself is an intro…….right?????
I don't even remember clicking this video and I woke up with almost all the lore in my head
As a Half-Life fan, I'm so excited to watch this video, thanks bro ♥️
I know it's been a loooong way to play the next Half-Life.
Love it more than GTA VI
Hopefully one day in our lifetime we will see another HL game 😂
time for a marathon. A game marathon
Best kind of marathon
This is just what I needed!
Keep up the great work bud!
😁👍
There's so much more to come!
I’ve never played half life but I’m super into the lore,sucks there will never be a new one or episode 3? Either way excellent video
Finally gonna get my assignments and worksheets done for the next 3 hours
Happy to help

"Here, we explore in the lore and story behind the combine..."
HARVESTER?!
"...advisor"
I'm too much South West England
I think i fell asleep accidentally then watching this for over 22 minutes
Dang it! Going to be hard not to fall asleep at work with this one
I believe in you
Love all your work, man! I'll always enjoy the HL videos, without a doubt. I have a suggestion (yes, I am THAT idea guy) if you're looking to branch out a tiny bit, like with SOMA..
Prey (2017) is an unbelievably fantastic game that I think is overlooked too often. The world is fantastically created, it has a somewhat rigid timeline of events, and so so so much background information that fill in the blanks. Is it obvious I am too into Prey? :)
Another excellent video from Skyrioon absolutely fantastic work
Oh man... i dont think that even mark laidlaw would expected what would become out of everything
watching one long vid always feels longer than watching all of these separate
even when this is shorter bc no intro
Other people search for hours of asmr, I search for 3 hours of hl lore
Nice 3 hours skibidi toilet story
Did someone say Skippy The Toilet ?!?!?!?!?
Oh yes i love that skippy skippy skippy skippity oh yeah oh yeah toilet person
I Love Deeply that you have made this, Thank You.
You're very welcome!
you are the reason why my chilhood obsession to half life story triggers back! haha
Have you ever considered doing lore videos about the Entropy: Zero games? That would be an awesome addition!
I have considered it. I did have a plan to make some around December but another video took a little too long to make
@@Skyrionn No worries! The storyline in it fits in so well with Half-life and portal that it's difficult not to consider it cannon! But you still need to do what works for you

People believe that Half-Life, Portal, and Left 4 Dead are from the same universe, I would love to know how with a deep lore video like yours.
