Deepfaked helium-chugging Gordon Freeman is becoming my favorite recurring character
apparently his death from radiation was faked
@@stoodle511 there was a fork in the timeline. can you find where it is???
@@PurpleColonel holy shiet, PurpleConel lore!
@@PurpleColonel that explains why you are insane in this one, you also have radiation poisoning and living
That's what I'm saying.
I love how PurpleColonel gets slowly crazier and crazier with each half life video, but returns to normal with a non half life video. Also the random keemstar president one off was a nice way of keeping some continuity.
I can't wait to see when they completely lose it
I'm pretty sure Keemstar being the president isn't as random as you think.
@@liquidexw refrence to hunt down the freeman i think
@@enadopato Exactly.
if anyone here lives under a rock and is viewing the video, uplink has been added to the main game in the 25th anniversary update
map hldemo 1
Uplink was cool. Getting the PS2 magazine disc and actually seeing Uplink on the PS2 was the most surreal Half-Life experience I've ever had. It was insane and I still take good care of the disc.
nice
i miss those discs that would come with gaming magazines. it was so cool to be able to try a few different demos of games to see which you liked
"The Half Life chapter you've never played"
Me, who has been playing Uplink for like 20 times: *I know this one! This is a classic!*
Me, reinstalling Uplink after so many years: *What'd'yah mean you've seen it? It's brand new!*
Guess you guys aren’t ready for that yet, but your kids are gonna love it
HOLD UP WHO TF ARE YOU
Uplink was the first HL content I'd ever played. So the video description doesn't really apply to me
Sven co-op players: Yeah, i played this.
When I was younger, I always imagined Uplink was a nightmare Gordon had the morning of the Black Mesa incident, probably being implanted by the gman, and he just quickly forgot about it after realizing he was late for work.
That’s my new headcanon
idk man nightmares stick with you longer than dreams, speaking from experience. i borderline had a mental breakdown last nightmare i had and needed my boyfriend to tell me it wasn't real, so if i was him i probably would've called in sick when you're having a nightmare in the lab you work at when there was a nuclear meltdown and you were like the only survivor for most of it.
I rather imagine it's an area in Black Mesa he was teleported to during the Lambda Core chapter, somewhat.
@@disposable_income_andy if this was cannon then I don't think this is Gordon but idk if they mentioned his name
I always imagined it was Gordon's dream before he woke up in the trash compactor.
Uplink was recently re-added to the game. It's beautiful.
The "Pre-release" Moments are my favorite section of these videos.
Proudly subscribed c: .
I also played Uplink when it came on a demo CD from a local magazine, it was my first contact with Half-Life.
Back then I felt that Uplink had a more advanced AI/scripting compared to the retail version. The fact that they made it after developing HL may explain that feeling.
Same goes for their progression from HL2 to Episode 2 and why the combat is so good in the latter game.
Well now we officially can
I loved that there is a Black Mesa version of Uplink now, which I have played and enjoyed.
Also of course I want to see you discuss that baffling short film.
Here after uplinks been added to steam
I remember playing Uplink and the Opposing Force demo as a kid, and since I grew up with the Nintendo 64, I was _shocked_ at the level of absurdly detailed gore. I was like, "wait, they can put this kind of shit in a video game? Is that even legal?" Blowing a dude up with a grenade and then watching his organs, half-muscled bones, and jawless one-eyed skull go flying across the room trailing blood everywhere was probably the most fucking brutal thing I'd ever seen. Also, because I played the OpFor demo first, I didn't realize the military were the bad guys in the original game, so when I went and played Uplink, walking up to a Marine expecting him to team up only for him to immediately try and kill me was such a nasty surprise that I actually jumped in my seat. I almost pooped a little. They just don't make games as intense as Half-Life these days.
they do, u just didnt expect it the first time lol
god i love uplink, its such a perfect miniature of all the shit i love in half-life with great combat flow. My only real "complaint" is that its short and makes me want more, which is probably why its a demo.
Started playing half life when they gave it away with the 25th anniversary update. Was curious about Uplink but would never guess how important it was and what it meant Valve putting the option to play it into the freaking title screen.
Really makes you realize the magnitude of that update and all it brings into making the first game easier to get into for new players
imagine if they went with the typical way of doing demo and before you step out of the test chamber in unforeseen consequences it tells you to buy the full game lmao
Surprised you didn’t mention how headcrabs are depicted as much smarter than they are in the base game, setting up ambushes and such
“The Half-Life chapter you’ve never played”
Thanks to this video, that’s about to change.
half life uplink in the game now
1:32 unpopular opinion: episode 2 of doom is better than episode 1
episode 3 is definitely rough but episode 2 fucks
oh also i like episode 4 a lot if we're including ultimate doom
@@xanious3759 I like episode 4 after perfect hatred, that level can go fuck itself.
"The thing I'm gonna be remembered for when I die"
"Pre-Release Moment?"
"Pre-Release Moment"
"yeaAAAAAAAAA!!!"
8:11 just making this timestamp so i can click it over and over
The only thing I want HDTF to be known for in the future is having Keemstar as president during the HL1 Era.
Probably already mentioned in the comments, but Valve added Uplink to retail HL1 as part of the 25 year anniversary update. When hitting New Game, you get the option to play HL, the Hazard Course, or Uplink.
Since everyone's getting introduced to Uplink, I can't recommend Signal Lost enough. It's a reimagining of HL-1 with a darker atmosphere by a talented goldsource modder, that includes all of Uplink.
A lot of other prerelease content makes appearances in it. For just being Chapter 1, it's really good, and looks beautiful. It already extends way beyond the content of Uplink itself.
DO THE HALF LIFE MOVIE!
(Also you forgot the link.)
YES, i don't see a lot of people talking about that one. It may be because it's also called Uplink
it's crazy - just because they officially released it, i actually bothered to play it - and i can recommend wholeheartedly
My cousin had the Uplink demo on cd and i played it literally years before hl1. It was so amazing an experience for me, and it got me interested in half life!
Never played? I used to play Uplink after clicking the "Custom Game" function on the GOTY Edition Case which had TF classic too. It could be activated by a simple click and you could play it.
I love the mod of Uplink called "Uplink extended". It a nice little expansion of Uplink, featuring one last combat arena.
1:20 nowadays you buy a gpu (unobtainable) and it comes with the amazing bundle of either Battlefield 2042 or some Ubishit
1:18 o God, I thought I would never see a running G-man
6:42 valve: prepare for unforeseen consequences
So basically the title is just a lie. It's not really a chapter. It's just a stand-alone demo version of _Half-Life._
Creepy baby voice gordon being a reoccurring character is literally my favorite gag
I want a comp
You know, my parents are watching a show right now and at the Very same moment you zoomed in on "Pentagon" a character said "the Pentagon"... Your videos are very impressive.
it's surreal to see my dumb idiot keemstar joke being made into a real, tangible thing. It's legitimately such a weird feeling
Yay yay!
Famois last words 0:20
-gotco
The best demo for a game
aand they put it in the menu (25th anniversary)
I like the energy, keep it up!
Dunno if you care, but I think you should start branding all your thumbnails with something unique to your channel because a lot of the time I've glanced over your uploads (on mobile especially) and not even realised that you've put out a new vid until I check my notifications
I played this a lot as a kid. Didn’t have the full version of half life so I played uplink instead.
I'm becoming obsessed with your delivery of "The G-Man"
ourple colonel is scary when he tells me to subscribe
why is the helium smoking gordon freeman kinda cute
Pretty sure tons of fans have played it before this video, myself included. Clickbait title.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
he didnt mention that uplink is on sven coop so.
there you have it :)
We played the shit out of uplink in middle school. A pal of mine got into trouble with his ma after she saw him go bananas on a barney with the crowbar.
Why do you keep on using the face capture on gordon 😭
I remember seeing this on a fan made windows, windows 96
epic uplink W
Me who played it on a random sven coop server: Ha.
"Hey, I've seen this one!"
"What do you mean you've seen it? It's brand new."
Uplink add-on is a great mod to try if you like this chapter. It adds Uplink into the normal Half-Life campaign in a very smooth way
....Uplinked mod makes the most out of the mission pack + added some unused maps. It also seamlessly work with the base game, accessing it before the lambda complex.
@@johndexterzarate6663 Mission pack?
@@hunterketch989 I think he means Mission pack=Uplink demo unless I'm wrong.
ha, i already played uplink. your premise is ruined! HA take that
*THIS.*
I can't tell you how many times I finished this Demo with my Dad!
It was our introduction to Half Life, and it will always have a special place in my heart!
In signal lost video you rated blue shift above opfor, I’d like to see a video on two expansions by you, a very dedicated half life nerd.
I liked this video too that deepfake freeman and all.
UMM ATCUATLY! YOU SAID "____" WHEN ITS "_________"
8:02 You sound like Wallace Breen
THE GA-MAN
Let’s not forget the ps2 port of uplink
Um actually 🤓☝️ oh oh….. oh. Shit
I'd love to see you review the unauthorized short film.
Well I've played it now.
it was also in freemans mind
I like to call this dude child freeman 0:01
Deepfake helium-chugging Gordon is making me feel uneasy and safe at the same time.
I remember playing this at a friend's house way back in the day. Until I saw this video I wasn't even sure if this chapter was real! It was like one of those Mandela effect moments lol. Glad to know I didn't just imagine it!
Damn.. what's uplink
0:00 now I can understand why Gordon doesn’t have a voice
Uplink may not be the objective HL demo but to me it is. I clearly remember playing this before my much older siblings got the actual game. More so watching my older brother and his friend's playing this. Infact I remember a lot of demos within this era of PC gaming [worms Armageddon, POD racing, Kingpin, MDK, RC racing] So in my mind Uplink has a special part in my gaming history. It got me into Half Life and basically FPS games in some ways
I played Uplink back in the day, it was quite a lot of fun but the ending was damn disappointing. Not the end I'd see for Gordon.
Yoooo I had uplink back in the day, it was the demo for half-life, I replayed this over and over again. Always trying to get past the ending to see more, glitching myself out of the map. sequence breaking the game. I had so much fun man.
lol me too i must have beat this 4000 times back in 2001
I did play it at the time! There was a gaming magazine I started buying at the time when I got my first computer...
It was a Portuguese (from PORTUGAL, not Brazil) called BGamer. For whatever reason, the GUI installer of their demo discs used Soul Reaver's Raziel in every single release, and I don't think they ever changed it in the many months I bought them.
Sadly, all those discs are lost to time. This Half Life demo came in one of them, and you bet I played the hell out of it.
I don't remember that well what else I played that came on those discs, though. The Soul Reaver demo was definitely one of them (duh) and it was interesting how it was also its own very unique level that isn't in the full game at all. I miss these days; you'd always get something new whether you played the demo or the full game. It's such a cool practice that few developers did and it's a shame it died out.
hi
I don't think so man, I think more people played Half Life Uplink than they played through XEN
When all of it came out Half Life uplink was the shite I tell you and then alot of people bought the game, never finished it, and played Counter Strike forever, the rest is history
I don't think that in the dome is a crack... xD
... I guess.
Could be the most perfectly shaped crack ever!
At first I thought... Uplink? Oh you mean the co-op ps2 game? But no that was Decay... watched a little more of the video and oh yeah Uplink! I played that! Couldn't tell you when or where but I vaguely remember playing it once a long time ago.
I still remember getting the Half-Life: Uplink demo disk with that issue of PC Gamer as a kid...I really miss PC Gamer and GamePro .
Reddit user and dumbass commenter: UMM ACKCHUALLY THIS IS A CONCEPT OF HL AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN AS LORE
Also, i saw a mod on moddb that implements this demo in the final game. After jumping in 7 portal in lambda complex chapter, it teleports you to the beggining of uplink
and that's the perfect way to place this chapter into the game!
As a person played HL:Uplink, HL:Day One and HL:Decay, I didn't know about the uplink video
I think purples gone full insane
Thanks for the heart purple!
for a long time (due to the lack of internet and me being in a small town in india in 2001 with almost no pc gaming scene) this demo was the only chapter i had ever played lol.
I only got my hands on full half life just 6 months before the release of half life 2
Honestly, the concept of a reporter breaking into the Black Mesa facility while the incident is happening
I played this before I got half life and never found this out till now iv been thinking about this for years
4:56 the president keemstar is the best meme came from HDTF xDDDD
of course after "my MOM IS DEAD"
I played a uplink lifetimes that's because I don't have Half-Life and half life is expensive
you've done some videos on other Half-Life mods, and I'd love to see what you think of Half-Life: Echoes personally
it's a really good Goldsrc Half-Life Mod
There are also mods like uplink addon which integrates the uplink level to the main game and uplink extended, which is a remaster of the original uplink and adds new sections after the gangartua boss fight.
Actually, I have played Uplink, after googling half life in browser
Uplink was my first exposure to Halflife in the year 1999.
I played like 10 years ago.
Ez
i swear to god i played this as a part of the original game, I know for a fact i played it at some point, but i dont remember doing anything special to have to play it, and i sure as hell wasnt even alive when it was relevant
assuming I haven’t played this game is like assuming birds don’t fly
Boo, I was hoping for a deeper cut! Guess I'll go play the new Field Intensity mod then.
I wonder if the Uplink character you play as is someone else that has an hev suit instead of Gordon Freeman
Is the narration delivery intended to mimic Hunter S. Thompson? If so, well done
There is no Half-Life character better than JAZ MEADOWS.
