I remember it's early 2018. I see this video for the first time ever. I had very limited knowledge of Half Life at the time and that bit where you throw a nade at Alyx at the sniper rifle and a combine soldier pops up. This intrigued me cuz I was like "What the shit? I thought she sticked with you until the end. How can that be if she gets replaced with a combine soldier and you take your revenge?" So I look up the ending of Ep.2, and there she is, I obviously get spoiled of Eli's death (but I mean which modern HL fan hasn't) and she sure as hell looks just like she's supposed to." I say to myself. So I knew I had to play the games from the start and learn it by myself rather than watching it from UA-cam. I start, not from HL1, but from HL2. I thought HL1 was too dated and generally knew what happened. Big explosion happens, aliens start coming in, some guy in business suit takes you blah blah blah, it all gets retconned later anyways. So I boot up HL2. I finish it in like 13 hours. I actually really like it until the Nova Prospekt, I know this is a hot take but beyond that point I think HL2 is just a slog to play through, up until the very last chapter with the charged gravity gun. I am aware that the game looks really old but I can look past it, it came out in 2004 after all. So I finish it and I'm like "That was not so bad I mean it turned out better than I expected from a 2004 game." So I continue with the sequels. I play Episode 1, I finish it and I go "Well, that was fantastic." Because it was. I think the episodes are really overlooked, especially Ep.1. Anyways I boot up Ep.2. I play until the sniper sequence and we meet up with Alyx and I'm fishy of her, at that point I'm thinking that a bunch of combines captured them or something and left two combine soldiers with some kind of alien disguising device to make sure they look identical to them. Obviously as I'm driving around I keep waiting for the betrayal sequence and us recapturing Alyx. It obviously never happens and as I realize that her personality and shit is pretty much the same since we left her, I start to theorize shit like how she's been a combine disguised as a human for years and she's waiting just the right moment to strike. I reach the game's ending, and say to myself that the plot point was probably reserved for HL3 which obviously never came out and disclose the "combine corpse coming out of Alyx" as an easter egg for the curious fans. five and a half years pass, I've obviously forgotten the theory and as I'm rewatching this video I'm reminded of all the memories and I just say to myself "Well shit I guess what Valve did was just put a combine sniper entity there and adjust the AI to not shoot the player, I'm fricking dumb" So to finish off I guess thank you for making me a HL fan. I hope you see this
I agree with you on hl2, it's kinda the slowest longest most tiring one. I never even finished the game once until many years later when people were watching my videos and I felt like it was worth seeing if I could get any more footage (the Breen video lol) I'm glad to have caused you much confusion, even unintentionally
some gay dude that likes anime and Astolfo when you hit the last few hammer units of a edge in the source engine you end up sliding of the edge like a slope, which is what happened
technically it has one,the official story for hl3 is out,it was made by the story director for hl2 btw so yes it is official and canon edit: no you dumb crab from long time ago it wasnt canon dummy dumb dumb
I have found a plot hole in this video. The first place to find the RPG is in the second radar cache in the chapter ‘Under the Radar’. This is where the plot hole lies - when Mr DeSinc shoots the Combine Sniper posing as Alyx with the RPG, it takes place in the chapter ‘Freeman Pontifex’ which is before the chapter ‘Under the Radar’, meaning there was no possible way for Mr DeSinc to obtain a RPG in the game world.
hey all, thanks for watching, looks like you like hl2 vids I read all comments. I actually got the idea for this vid from a comment! bonus points if you find that comment. no really I lost that comment if you could find it that'd be cool.
that jailbreak server went down sadly, no more jailbreak servers running in CS: source so can't do any crazy bhop videos like the last one. only csgo jailbreak is left. bhopping is worse in csgo compared to CS:S where you could sometimes get lucky and go into hyperdrive
well reading comments isn't about how many views it gets, but since you asked this video gets still quite a decent amount of views. maybe between 100-200,000 a month
@@DeSinc as a person who's very data analytical I am happy you replied. Also it makes me happy since i often come back to these videos. So it warms my heart to know these videos still get a ton of views.
Was messing around at the bridge part, and figured out that if you stay on the top of the side railings, you can jump down onto the grass and initiate the sequence normally. Allowed me to skip the whole part below, though I didn't use the pickaxe, I just stacked boxes to get over the side building towards gman. Thanks for making my gnome run easier :)
The one that's causing the pickaxe to go all weird in that level isn't really the pickaxe itself but rather the elevator. Put something else in the elevator when its still on the ground level and activate it. Once the elevator is on the top, any physics object would have the same quirk as the pickaxe.
The source engine is both a state of the art engine and a complete mess coded by a trillion monkeys on typewriters with faulty keys, and it’s beautiful
DeSinc well I couldn’t use it as a cannon in the vents, but I did manage to skip the entire zombie section and break the game from that pickaxe. It’s quite interesting
doesn't it's inconsistency have something to do with the elevator gate? pretty sure to get it to launch you you have to stick it through the gate a few times to overload the physics
*Remember kids, jumping backwards make you faster than:* A boolet A big boolet The Combine A.I A V-6 powered sand buggy A V-8 powered 1970 Dodge Charger Rockets A Hovercraft Light Source Engine
From experience, its a lot easier without the enemies, but even then without a way to instantly spin yourself 180 degrees with the push of a button, it took me at least 30-40 tries. Without antlions screwing up the pallet
I know this is unrelated to the video, sorry DeSinc. Coming back to watch this every few years really brings me back good memories. I was 8 years old when my dad bought me a copy of Half-Life 2 Episode 2 in 2007. Still shocked it has been that long. So many phases of life can pass you by in 15 years. I’ve met very few people who had the same relationship with these games, TF2, Portal and CSS. I’d even met several folks who passed away thinking we’d get to see a sequel one day. Even after thousands of clickbait thumbnails, fanmade trailers, the 240p fan tributes sinc’d to Linkin Park and all the ongoing support spanning 20+ years, it felt like Half Life Alyx was a little slap in the face. It was a new half life game, but it was made exclusively for VR, and while it was exciting to see a new title, it felt a little like filler to wipe away any expectations we still had of a sequel. It was a smart move, and it seemed like an easy one any company would make to cash in on the VR scene. I think our nostalgia for the franchise is what kept me from avoiding that game. Instead of announcing they wouldn’t be continuing the series, they’d kept us in the dark for over ten years instead of being forthcoming about it. I believe this has been due to the amount of overwhelming pressure and rising expectations. Sorry to be critical. For all those memories, the friends I’d met because of Valve, they are no longer the same company we knew. Valve, like any other developer has changed - and time is a reflection of that. I just think it sucks that I’m the only one who sees they’ve taken advantage of our nostalgia for the games, and because of that clingyness we have for Valve, it’s hard to let go or come to terms with it.
No, you're not the only one that's noticed all of this. I've lost so much faith in valve, especially after half life alyx was yet another linear single player experience with the typical un-funning treatment that portal 2 received. Can't explain what they did to it exactly but it's just bland. Just like old blizzard, old valve seems to no longer exist. I agree with everything you said. It was so weird to see you randomly show up and say all of that but I'm glad you did. Then again I would like to offer my own perspective. I would posit that valve never made great games in the first place. Half life and have life 2 were both actually boring games in my opinion. In fact before my channel became popular I hadn't even finished half life 1 or 2 even once in my life. The only half life games I'd finished playing from start to finish were episodes one and two. The first source game I played was Garry's mod. The second was Counter strike source. To date I have 10,000 hours between the two, likely more.
@@DeSinc That is too true. Thanks for sharing. I was not expecting a response. Thought I'd throw a small potato into a potato sack with thousands of potatoes and their little potato families, and someone finding my potato would be a 1 in 1000 chance. Now I realize I was the potato all along. We were all just Valve's potatoes from the start. I'm really hungry now. Coming back to these games leaves a strange feeling, like going to see an old friend, but now that friend has been arrested for selling anime, which is of course the worst offense of all. So to seek closure you go to visit his hot mom, but it turns out his mom has been diagnosed with a terminal illness, half-life syndrome. Highly contagious and is known to infect by word of mouth. Now your only connection with that friend is through another's experience. You can finally reflect on those memories you share in common, and for a moment it's gleeful but quickly fades. Now after moving on, you can see not everything was as great as it seemed. My metaphor game is terrible. I think I'm trying to say, the only reason I go back to these games is because of the memories associated with them. If not for the community that's kept it all together, these speedrun videos, and the simplicity of Valve's games, I think they would have faded into obscurity long ago. When you can step back after years and see games for how they are, these are really just simple for most players - which has worked well in Valve's favor. Today Half-Life and Portal are just a modding platform. Garry's Mod was a good example to start. Since 2009, I have more hours in that game than any source game! If not for one of my favorite developers, we wouldn't have such hit classics, like SchoolShooter roleplay and PonyRP. Truly, they could've had us. But CS:S, Team Fortress, Left 4 Dead and all of these games were only special to me because of friendships we forged from them. That's the point behind this video-essays-worth of a comment. It's probably not necessary, I know most folk don't want to read that much, but i've been holding this in for years and felt it was necessary to explain where I was coming from. It might be better than a "this game sucky sucky" comment. Even if no one agreed or it got overlooked, at least I can get it off my chest. :) Thanks chad
I agree that they are boring games, but I do like the middle stretches quite a bit. It's the beginning and end parts of Valve games that tend to suck, which makes them hard to revisit.
4:27 still my favorite part. In fact, I did not remember where I had seen this scene and I was thinking about it for two days and now UA-cam recommends that I watch it again, I did not remember that it was part of your video. Thank you UA-cam for invading the privacy of my thoughts to help me find a video.
I remember playing episode 2 and accidentally finding out about that combine sniper, i shot a rocket at it and i remember it blowing my mind so much, and when i was watching this video for the first time i was so happy that you mentioned it because now everybody who's seen the video knows that :b
@MasterOfBunnehs r/woosh to you too. I'm getting really fucking tired of seeing this. Especially with morons like you who say it when someone is clearly joking. It so ironic that it's not even funny.
Raid city 17 on level 1 in halflife by giving yourself weapons. Then turn on noclip when you get out of the train and just explore the level. I found that when you get off the train, and go into noclip, look around for a box outside of the map where Brean is, then kill him. Game over. He prob won't see this but I just want one more half life 2 vid ;((
Himanshu Bhoria As long as the command doesn’t require Sv_cheats 1, it will work. For example the ent create command will work and not disable achievements
hey, desinc after you taught me about abhing before i got my pc, i got my pc, bought the orange box, was gonna play the half life games, forgot about them, remembered about abhing, finished hl2, learned to abh, and speeded through ep1 and ep2 all in a matter of days, thanks for letting me become faster than light
the lab boys told me to stop asking DeSinc to make Half-Life 2 gameplays, shouldn't even mention it to him. That gave me an idea: ask him to make more Half-Life 2 gameplays. I subscribed to his channel and can ask him all damn day!
Probably my 100th view of this gem again, thanks for making this historic video Desinc I hope whatever is going on in your life is VERY prosperous, you could always come back and make a lot of money with your content at any point there's no doubt in my mind that you have a career here just from the couple of hl2 videos you've posted.

I think I'm trying to say, the only reason I go back to these games is because of the memories associated with them.
If not for the community that's kept it all together, these speedrun videos, and the simplicity of Valve's games, I think they would have faded into obscurity long ago. When you can step back after years and see games for how they are, these are really just simple for most players - which has worked well in Valve's favor. Today Half-Life and Portal are just a modding platform. Garry's Mod was a good example to start. Since 2009, I have more hours in that game than any source game! If not for one of my favorite developers, we wouldn't have such hit classics, like SchoolShooter roleplay and PonyRP. Truly, they could've had us.
But CS:S, Team Fortress, Left 4 Dead and all of these games were only special to me because of friendships we forged from them. That's the point behind this video-essays-worth of a comment. It's probably not necessary, I know most folk don't want to read that much, but i've been holding this in for years and felt it was necessary to explain where I was coming from. It might be better than a "this game sucky sucky" comment. Even if no one agreed or it got overlooked, at least I can get it off my chest. :)
Thanks chad
@@AussieBleuu That's poetic, I can feel my starchy yellow appendages reeling.
I agree that they are boring games, but I do like the middle stretches quite a bit. It's the beginning and end parts of Valve games that tend to suck, which makes them hard to revisit.

5:32 Mad respect from that CP. He realized how far that throw was, missing his days back in the NBA, and decided to let you off with a verbal warning.
4:27 still my favorite part. In fact, I did not remember where I had seen this scene and I was thinking about it for two days and now UA-cam recommends that I watch it again, I did not remember that it was part of your video. Thank you UA-cam for invading the privacy of my thoughts to help me find a video.
I remember playing episode 2 and accidentally finding out about that combine sniper, i shot a rocket at it and i remember it blowing my mind so much, and when i was watching this video for the first time i was so happy that you mentioned it because now everybody who's seen the video knows that :b
NICE TRY MATE
I haven't played in a while but isn't the rocket later on?
@@whythehandletho yeah
@@smeggiamagarwine i used to throw nades, and use the grav gun to throw the nade up there
either this or you get the rpg by then i dont remember that well it was long ago
For some reason whenever im hungover or real sick I always come back to watch all of desinc's bhop videos
simple man that’s actually so true. It just radiates positive energy or something
"for some reason"
4:52 De sinc: *"SHIFT IT INTO TURBO"* alyx ten frames later: * *ragdoll mode* *
Also Alyx a second later: *WAy tO GO, bOy!*
This is the video that made me play all the half life games 6 years ago. Still one of my favourite games of all time.

There are rumours, Elon Musk is gonna use HL2 pickaxe as a space rocket launcher
If there ever was a person to break physics IRL...
@MasterOfBunnehs r/woosh to you too. I'm getting really fucking tired of seeing this. Especially with morons like you who say it when someone is clearly joking. It so ironic that it's not even funny.
pickaxe while cycle
For me the pickaxe didn’t work BUT the gnome acted the same way the pickaxe did... weird
@MasterOfBunnehs m8, look closely
“Thank god your alright”
Shoots himself with rocket
This is a friggin masterpiece. I love the glitch where Alyx tells you she is glad you're okay and the rocket launcher fires itself into the ground :D
2:55
I love how the grenade explode exactly when he said "Snip-"
1:20 that was the *sexiest* maneuver I've ever seen
I did it took me a long time
This showed up in my recommendations for some reason.
Thank god it did because that was hilarious.
Raid city 17 on level 1 in halflife by giving yourself weapons. Then turn on noclip when you get out of the train and just explore the level. I found that when you get off the train, and go into noclip, look around for a box outside of the map where Brean is, then kill him. Game over. He prob won't see this but I just want one more half life 2 vid ;((
Out of map secrets Desinc. Bet I can find more than you.

how do you not have 1 million subscribers, your comedic style is hella entertaining and unique.
thanks bro. I guess because I just don't ask for subs too much. people like to watch my vids and so long as they enjoy them that's all I care about

Bro, whoever recreated those english subtitles from zero, i love you bro, you're a great person.
I had to do it cause they got deleted at the same time as community captions being removed
@@DeSinc then i love you even more bro
I just spawned the gnome with the console at the end and got the achievement.
No, that's not how you suppose to play the game
Enabling cheats disables achievements
WHAT COMMAND
Himanshu Bhoria As long as the command doesn’t require Sv_cheats 1, it will work. For example the ent create command will work and not disable achievements
@@himanshubhoria1832 you can disable that too
We need a Gnome% Half-Life 2 Episode 2 Speedrun
hey, desinc after you taught me about abhing before i got my pc, i got my pc, bought the orange box, was gonna play the half life games, forgot about them, remembered about abhing, finished hl2, learned to abh, and speeded through ep1 and ep2 all in a matter of days, thanks for letting me become faster than light
Probably the designers really AI'd that sniper to treat the player as a friend but posing as alyx
.. Noooo
....
yep there are even console commands to change who the ai shoots and who it doesnt. its "setrelationship"
Funnily enough, when Alyx uses the sniper rifle in episode one, she cannot be killed.
*_Oiiii DeSinc, hows it goin' mayte?_*

1:24 You can hear the smile in his voice, if only very slightly.
man, it's stuff like those notes in the captions at the end of the video that make me love people like desinc
thank you for sayin it cause wow its just such a nice kind touch
im comin back again because of how much i love these videos, prob the 17th time ive watched this and beat hl2 ep2 like a mopnth ago
3:30 "I don't really like zombies, so..." *flies into the air*
That got me XD
4:02 XD desinc is the funniest guy I've ever seen
the lab boys told me to stop asking DeSinc to make Half-Life 2 gameplays, shouldn't even mention it to him. That gave me an idea: ask him to make more Half-Life 2 gameplays. I subscribed to his channel and can ask him all damn day!
Freakin' Magic what about the lemons?
Probably my 100th view of this gem again, thanks for making this historic video Desinc I hope whatever is going on in your life is VERY prosperous, you could always come back and make a lot of money with your content at any point there's no doubt in my mind that you have a career here just from the couple of hl2 videos you've posted. Cheers
"alright guys DeSinc here and were about to watch our first hentai" ;D

Me too.
