After years of getting used to _Half-Life 2_ being the most recent game people bothered to make mods for, the level of visual polish on this one is really messing with my head. It looks better than the last AAA game I played. And it has way more prerecorded footage playing on a TV screen. Remember when the only way to have working TVs in Source games was to point a camera at a live actor in another room? How far we've come.
The way Vinny is talking to Gnorts about V-dub makes me wish there was a fan game in the same tone as terminal 7 where Vinny confronts his multiple personalities
The Vinesauce Holiday Special was fantastic. I particularly liked the DesertP intro segment, the Jerma GASGASGAS reference, and the fact that the VHS tape of the 'Star Wars Holiday Special' played the entirety of the animated segment. PrimaryDenizen, you've done it again.
The Vinesauce Holiday Special deserves the same level of recognition that fangames like Mystery Meat or Supra Binyot Lande get, it has so many quality details packed into it
Thank you PrimaryDenizen for giving Vinny a christmas cabin he could spend the holidays in with his friends! I feel like he genuinely enjoyed just hanging out
That second map felt like one extremely long, fever dream of an ATHF episode but with vinesauce references. The fucking Jerma bit had me in tears, the gnorts bit had me chuckling, and the scoot snowball fight was fucking amazing. The map creator is a genius. I wish I could have witnessed this live. Best holiday special ever. Seriously.
I love revisiting this video so much. Just seeing Vinny have so much fun and have such a perfect Christmas is wonderful, hearing how happy he is and especially how emotional and thankful he is at the end, it's all one of the most wholesome Christmas streams ever and perfectly captures part of what I love so much about this time of year. ♥
My favorite part had to be when Vinny discovered that V-dub got Gnorts addicted to MTN Dew and acted like a disappointed mother finding coke in her sons room
I LOOOVE that cabin. Almsot makes me wish for a big event, where people would get together and hang out at a cabin village-thing. edit : gotta love that tactical stealth CAPUSSI
Damn, I wish I was there to see that heartwarming and wholesome moment of Vinny hugging scoot, live. I had a big dumb smile on my face the whole time seeing that.
As cheesy as it might sound, you do help many of us through tough times, and would be willing to bet you have saved a handful of lives by doing what you do. Consider this a thank you gift for helping so many during this awful year
This was super blessed in so many ways, I can't even pinpoint all the best parts because there are too many. The only thing missing was Maclanky, but I guess a gherkin can serve as a replacement.
PrimaryDenizen does it again. I wasn't sure that Half Life Alyx Vinesauce maps could be made as good as the Half Life 2 maps, but you have proven they can be just as good, if not better.
The Jerma "Saw" bit at 57:52 had me in tears. The fact that everything Vinny did in the bathroom caused more gas was absolute gold
That caught me off guard so hard. I was a giggling mess right alongside Vinny, and had my suspicions that it was Jerma immediately.
gaS GaS GAs gAs GaS
it was so good
i was in shambles after it stopped
*gyas*
Chat randomly saying "GAS" and "G A S" for the rest of the stream was fun too

Vinny hugging Scoot is heart melting levels of wholesome.
vinny throwing a glass bottle at him a minute later was also very keanu reeves wholesome 100
So was him playing airplane with the rocketships in the first map
I got a little verklempt when he hugged him ;w;
30:20
Came here to look for this comment and found it
Vinny hugging Scoot may have been the most wholesome thing I've seen all year.
It made my day
He was so excited to see Scoot in VR too it was very sweet
💯 🅱️ig ☪️hungas
My heart absolutely melted awwwwwww
Funny Peepee Poopoo Man's Bizarrely Wholesome Christmas Special
Vinny survived the smelly smells
The nerve agent
the G-G-G-GAS
gyass
Gas.
Gas.
Gas.
The smelly smells that smelled...smelly
Vinny hugging Scoot and having a snowball fight with him has redeemed the entire year.
What a time to be alive
Streamer reunites with his son live on stream
Who knew that vin would ever actually hug scoot irl(ish)
I love that Scoot’s model even has that felt texture of the New Horizons models. It’s a nice touch.
I read "irl(ish)" as "irish" and was confused.
What a time to be alive
He hugs scoot but then throws bottles at him and he steals his eggs I see how it is.
you always hurt the ones you love
Ahh... Just like my parents did.
Leaving rats on his beak in his catatonic state.
It's foreplay
not just that, but [gas]lighting a-dub about throwing the dew cans
57:58 I *need* Jerma to see this bit
I think they might've actually gotten him to do the voice for that? it sounds like actual Jerma. In which case he's probably already seen it.
@@jamesgaming7198 the audio is from one of his house flipper streams where he made a Saw house
@@jamesgaming7198 It is Jerma, Jerma streamed the Saw games in which he did multiple bits where he used a voice changer to act like Jigsaw
28:03 vinny hugging scoot was so precious
absolutely heart melting
The funniest part of the Vin not recognising the Jerma bit was he just went along with a Saw joke in a 2020 Christmas map.
Vinny: Do the- Do the noise.
Gnome: **SHART**

@@princesstamika
I'm trapped with a man with multiple personalities
@@alfiegordon9013 terminal 7 is the best of all time.
The game however has multiple endings where one of the personalities takes over. The true ending is having them all in harmonic balance
Vinny's reconciliation with Gnorts after the two drifted apart was the strong emotional core that I feel really elevated the special
23:22 SPEEN

5:40 One of the biggest crimes about that city carpet is that it's designed to tile seamlessly but I've never seen more than one in a room.
I want to get a house and cover every floor with that exact carpeting.
@@Brainwave101 why stop there? Why not carpet all the walls and ceilings too while your at it
Carpet the furniture and appliances too.
Oh my God, the second map was exceptional. The part at the start with helping desert was great.
I am still in awe at the cross-overs between Jerma and Vinny memes. They mesh so perfectly together, and make me happy. Happy Christmas everyone.
Jerma and Vinny are an absolute power duo. Whenever they do something together, it's always a goldmine.
I wish i could get myself a friend who could treat me like vinny treating scoot.
Someone to steal your eggs and put a dead rat on your beak?
All of the above.

Vinny hugging Scoot is honest to God one of the sweetest, most wholesome things I've seen.

@@No_Life_Alex It's somewhere near the beginning iirc
*"Scoot can drive?"*
Considering he's possibly a child that's a "Home Owner" in the Animal Crossing series, anything goes!
30:19 I know you are here for Vinny being cute at this moment
I think you’re projecting
@@pormpfspimperton6804 They aren’t wrong tho
Nah I'm here for the GAS
Vinny is cute yes
why did it feel like vinny was talking about V-dub like theyre married
Or divorced
They are
Vinny married a COD player, adopted an alien son with him, and then divorced him- all in his own mind
36:53 that picture has excellent comedic timing
not only was vinny hugging scoot ridiculously wholesome, but he also didnt ruin the moment with smth bad for once :')
Watching vinny just genuinely play with this stuff like a kid is heart warming.
*Everyone in the comments: VIN HUGGING SCOOT SO CUTE!!*
Vin: -Instantly starts throwing metal objects and glass bottles at him after he finishes...
Even if that's true it doesn't make the latter false
It's some good ol' nature ribbing.
for me, i'm more interested of the rat :D
@@bluie1238 GAS
I think my favorite parts were when Vinny talked to A-Dub and when Vin heard the gas bit from Jerma.
Same and when Vinny hugged scoot and when he watched long solo
*Gnortz
this entire video is pure gold
"i'm not a naughty kid"
*Proceeds to replace Santa's cookie with a turd*
I cant stop coming back to this video, its just the perfect wholesome Vinesauce Christmas special its just so good.

Too bad the alien was in the bedroom.

The Vinesauce Holiday Special deserves the same level of recognition that fangames like Mystery Meat or Supra Binyot Lande get, it has so many quality details packed into it
Vinesauce fan games are just the best
I hope there's a sequel next year with more vinesauce memes and characters
You never cease to make us laugh Vinny. Have a happy holidays man
Thank you PrimaryDenizen for giving Vinny a christmas cabin he could spend the holidays in with his friends! I feel like he genuinely enjoyed just hanging out
People getting to hang out with their favorite video game characters is what VR was made for.
I will never get over the hug to Scoot
I hope there's a ton of art of this moment and it better make it in both the best of December 2020 and vinesauce rewind 2020
@@xanedivinedragon6553 Better yet we need to get him a lifesized scoot akin to the alien
The good news is that map is on the Workshop so anyone with a VR headset can download it and give Scoot a hug too!
Vinny hugging Scoot has legitimately made me happy.
Time for my annual re-watch. Merry Gasmas, everyone!
I like how Vin treats Scoot and Meat like actual friends :)
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the level of detail and dedication that was poured into the Cabin map, like that was incredible.
Never thought I would hear vinny say supermega. Even if it was just a small mention from a chat member. I would kill to see them do something together
Well the Supermega boys are friends with Ross and Ross is friends with Vinny so its not that impossible.
"plus we don't have any real plumbing so I'd have a real problem on our hands if people shit in there repeatedly"
vinny commenting on the object physics and/or textures before throwing them as hard as possible destroyed me
im actually tearing up-- from the scoot hug? no.. from the jerma jigsaw bit.
from the gyas that is filling the room
I was howling from laughter during the Jerma bit. Nothing could have prepared me for it
that P E A C E A N D L O V E really brought the whole radio bit back together
That second map felt like one extremely long, fever dream of an ATHF episode but with vinesauce references. The fucking Jerma bit had me in tears, the gnorts bit had me chuckling, and the scoot snowball fight was fucking amazing. The map creator is a genius. I wish I could have witnessed this live. Best holiday special ever. Seriously.
1:14:36 was something I was hoping to be in this sooner, but brilliant for putting it as the outro XD
Vinny hugging Scoot made me warm inside. So wholesome
That cabin looks exactly like the one from the White Christmas episode of "Black Mirror".
God damn Half Life holiday maps have come a long way.
i love how vinny's first reaction to picking up a dead rat is to stretch it
and use it as a weapon
This was the coziest way to spend the holidays away from home this year. A range of every emotion in just over an hour.
G A S
I hope we get more vr/hl2 Halloween and Christmas maps from this guy he's really talented
never i thought itd be the day where i find matt watson of supermega in a vinesauce stream

Vinny had real dad energy trying to scold and then comfort norts
The pure /genuine/ joy in vinnys voice when he talked to scoot put the biggest smile on my face.
8:45 love that when I hear jenkem I immediately think of avoiding the puddle's Aris rofl.

Yeah that's definitely Matt singing the credits theme lmao
The way Vinny pulls his hand away from the gnome after it braps feels like actual disgust

I always adore these holiday maps, they're so cozy, fun to watch, and clearly made with a lot of care
I’m probably gonna revisit this stream every Christmas. This shit is way to cozy and wholesome not to be a Christmas tradition.
Holy shit this holiday special map is insane

Finally, Vinesauce X SuperMega. The crossover we've all been waiting for.
PrimaryDenizen does it again. I wasn't sure that Half Life Alyx Vinesauce maps could be made as good as the Half Life 2 maps, but you have proven they can be just as good, if not better.
I cannot believe the map maker made a puzzle out of DesertP's computer problems with Sea of Thieves, that was absolutely genius.
