    First time seeing the channel? I'm HALF PEEPS (aka peeps4321 or Samuel). I make video game animations here on UA-cam, mainly using SFM (Source Filmmaker, animation software running on Valve's Source game engine) and S2FM (Source 2 Filmmaker, the updated version of SFM running on Valve's Source 2 game engine). Most of my videos are related to Valve Software (mainly Half-Life and Portal) but don't be surprised if another franchise pops up occasionally. Starting UA-cam back in 2013, in 2020, I hit my first 1,000 subscribers (took me long enough, I know...) and subsequently hit 10,000 in 2021. My ultimate goal is to reach 100,000 subscribers. As unrealistic as that may be, I would love it if you subscribed and joined me on this journey! I hope you enjoy the content!
    Half-Life is a series of first-person shooter (FPS) games developed and published by Valve. The games combine shooting combat, puzzles, and storytelling. The original Half-Life, Valve's first product, was released in 1998 for Windows to critical and commercial success. Players control Gordon Freeman, a scientist who must survive an alien invasion. The innovative scripted sequences were influential on the FPS genre, and the game inspired numerous community-developed mods, including the multiplayer games Counter-Strike and Day of Defeat. Half-Life was followed by the expansions Opposing Force (1999), Blue Shift (2001), and Decay (2001), developed by Gearbox Software. In 2004, Valve released Half-Life 2 to further success, with a new setting and characters and physics-based gameplay. It was followed by the extra level Lost Coast (2005) and the episodic sequels Episode One (2006) and Episode Two (2007). The first game in the Portal series, set in the same universe as Half-Life, was released in 2007. Over the following decade, numerous Half-Life games were canceled, including Episode Three, a version of Half-Life 3, and games developed by Junction Point Studios and Arkane Studios. In 2020, after years of speculation, Valve released its flagship virtual reality game, Half-Life: Alyx. Set before Half-Life 2, players control Freeman's ally Alyx Vance in her quest to defeat the alien Combine.

    Portal is a series of first-person puzzle-platform video games developed by Valve. Set in the Half-Life universe, the two main games in the series, Portal (2007) and Portal 2 (2011), center on a woman, Chell, forced to undergo a series of tests within the Aperture Science Enrichment Center by a malicious artificial intelligence, GLaDOS, that controls the facility. Most of the tests involve using the "Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device" - the "portal gun" - that creates a human-sized wormhole-like connection between two flat surfaces. The player-character or objects in the game world may move through portals while conserving their momentum. This allows complex "flinging" maneuvers to be used to cross wide gaps or perform other feats to reach the exit for each test chamber. A number of other mechanics, such as lasers, light bridges, tractor funnels, and turrets, exist to aid or hinder the player's goal to reach the exit.

    So he allowed himself to get captured even before being put into the Vault, just to set the injured Vort free (to help Alyx later on)? You have some interesting ideas. This was really well done, too.

    • @KorianHUN
      @KorianHUN Рік тому +26

      It is so well animated too. You can see the elites being confused or straight up scared. The Overwatch announcer voice even sounds scared. It seems like the Combine know who that is and that they are bound by certain rules when interacting with them, but they know that a Gman being visible to them is a BIG thing as they only show up when they want to.

    • @Hyde-dg7ef
      @Hyde-dg7ef Рік тому +18

      one theory involving gman is pretty much that:
      that for whatever reason(s) known only to gman or his employers (if such "employers" even exist in the first place), he was disappointed with how hl2 ep2 turned out with eli's death and dissatisfied with freeman's performance and wants to find a replacement. Then thats when gman notices alyx and sees something in her that makes her a worthy replacement. Knowing that her father dies in the future and that she rly cares for her father, he lets himself get captured and then waits for alyx to free him, so that when she does, he can lure her with "something you don't know that you want." ie: prevent her father from dying in hl2 ep2

    @Dicerollball Рік тому +49

    It’s very clear he got himself captured on purpose to do two specific things. 1: Of course, save the Vort who will be important for future events…
    And 2: Attention.
    G-Man had to grab the Combine’s attention, so he made himself known and allowed them to see just what he was capable of. That way the Combine could focus on creating the vault in order to capture him later down the line.
    By itself it’s an odd string of events that those present at the time wouldnt be able to explain, but in the future it all makes sense and connects

The lighting as usual is just ... jaw dropping. Amazingly well animated, and thought provoking. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
