This video is an off shoot of the Half-Life: Blue Shift - Hidden Entity Names and Jokes video which is currently in production. As a sneak preview of that upcoming entry, the entity name of the elevator func_button you press that brings you down to the Power Struggle chapter is "ajsdfkdfjjlscvnxmd". Also, I offer a free heart to whoever can identify the music used for the mockup arcade sound restoration.
It sounds kinda like Duke 3D arcade sound but. A fun fact: The game you see the scientist and Barney play is a cancelled valve project Correction: It's not a cancelled Valve Project in fact it was made by Gearbox Software and later on cancelled
@@usamazahid3882 I mean, that's the line it's in reference to. It's good to throw it out there for people who are unaware, lol. No need to tell them to "shut up." Have a nice day though ;)
"You know, you repeat yourself sometimes." Bold words from an NPC whose sole purpose is to exist for a looping conversation the player isn't even supposed to fully overhear.
plot twist: he's fully aware of the repetition and has given up on trying to warn them, now he just sits there bored, making fun of the dude for "repeating himself"
I wish he wouldn't, these videos are too interesting. I've played Half Life all the way through so many times and yet I still wasn't aware of some things he pointed out in his videos, like the Xen stealth route.
As a kid I used to just sit there and explore as much as possible before triggering the incident/experiment, just soaking up all the atmosphere and ambience, even pretending I was going to work that day in-game at other stations/computers/etc, lol. Roleplaying basically within the game :D
The mockup sound for the arcade machine is pretty good. Fits the overall sound design. It also has what I think was the intended effect: drawing the player's attention to that object that is easily missed otherwise.
1:49 “Did you submit _your_ status report to the administrator?” When he said that he remembered and telekinetically submitted his status report to the administrator, accidentally destroying the table and chair in the process
I wonder if anyone In Black Mesa has ever fully explored every area in the facility. It looks like it sprawls underground for miles and miles of hallways and rooms. I think even Gordon missed a good chunk of the facility since many parts of it were destroyed or inaccessible after the cascade.
@@ManLikeEddy Their combat is terrible as hell, but their voice lines are pretty good. If scientists didn't have such pauses between conversations, then maybe they'd feel more human. Take Black Mesa for example, they feel MUCH more human than HL1
I just love the 90's early 2000's games. the textures. the look and feel. not too realistic it leaves a lot left to the imagination without trying to be photorealistic. love it. miss it, these games will never die.
Anyone else love the aesthetics of Black Mesa? The whole underground laboratory with the tram and all the connecting walkways looks so fun to explore but we're so limited in where we can go. Anyone else want to fund millions of dollars into making a real Black Mesa?
The two guys above the tram at the beginning, I think, are debating wether or not to spit over the side. “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” “Your not going soft on that ethics issue again are you?”
I love these videos. Like you, I always wonder what goes on in places we’re not allowed to go. I use to no clip to these areas and see what is going on. This was my fav tram ride of the series. It really showed the inner workings of blackmesa. I really wish someone would create an actual black Mesa facility prior to alien invasion. An actual Alive and working facility. That Would be amazing.
I'll be honest... I never took the time to understand what they say because all I remember is doing "impulse 101" then killing all NPCs as I tram along. I only took attention to detail after the tram ride.
4:50 "Why do we all have to wear these ridiculous ties?" "You know, you repeat yourself sometimes." "Why do we all have to wear these ridiculous ties?" "Stop asking that question." "Why do we all have to wear these ridiculous ties?" "Shut up!"
It depends on how the lines are being played, either scripted or unscripted, but it's usually the animation from one of the parties that delays the response. In this video, the Einstein scientist at 2:00 asks a question to the sitting Luther, but the Luther won't respond until the Einstein walks to his mark and finishes playing his gesturing animation, at which point the game finally registers that Luther is scripted to react.
"You know, you repeat yourself sometimes." I always thought this line originated from _Black Mesa_ ! I had no clue they weren't the ones to come up with it!
Hey Marphy! I had a thought yesterday: "Is Blue Shift the blandest out of all Half-Life games, content- and secrets-wise?" I was planning to ask this question in the next video I would see from you -- but you beat me to it. Thanks for the video once again!

I hate it when my tables disappear when I talk to people
Lmfao glad I wasn't the only one to notice this.
but everybody noticed that
Yeah I know it's fucking annoying
That's because player couldn't see that area anymore and table fell out of potentially visible set.
insert \Name\ yeah it gets me a jumpscare anytime it happens...
The day that Marphy runs out of Half Life 1 facts will be the day that Half Life 3 will be released

Exactly, thank VALVe's care for minor details!
Really? RELEASE MORE VIDEOS WITH HL1 FACTS - STAT!
The day Jesus comes back is the day that Half-Life 3 will be released.
A Cypriot. I never thought I would see. Come to Kyrenia to drink some zivania friend.
He was so hungry he ate table and chair
why the fuck did this make me collapse of laughter
"why do we all have to wear these ridiculous ties"
Eh forget you, my voice falls on deaf ears. I don't know why i even waste my time on you sheep.
Shut up
Thanks Ross Scott.
"why do we all have to wear these ridiculous ties"
In Black Mesa, it's rather to look fancy at your funeral in case you'll have one
2:09
*Table disappears*
*Recognizes the inexistent table*
"Is anyone else getting hungry?"
He ate the table and yet still hungers
It's these bits at the start of Half-Life games that I love, the atmosphere created by the walking and talking NPCs and setpieces is just glorious.
I just love games with good NPCs

"You know, you repeat yourself sometimes." [entire conversation loops]
That's such a simple gag but I love it.
reminds me of those postal 2 conversation bits
"keep talking, and i'll keep ignoring you"
"You know, you repeat yourself sometimes."
Litteraly a second later
"ArEyOuThInKiNgWhAtI'mThInKiNg"
I don't think so.
you arent going soft on that ethics issue again, are you?@@Pancakewafflers
The food court is weird, there's no railing to keep people from falling off.
It probably dissapeared, same as the table and chair.
Thats how they get their.. food..
I’m glad that I’m not the only one to notice that. Black Mesa truly is a one giant death trap.
Well hey at least there is water at the bottom to break their falls
@@farawaygaming_
Man can’t wait to swan dive and then proceed to break my body

Looks like both Black Mesa and the SCP Foundation have problems with the ethics comittee.
DatGameh we most certainly do not
Love how the cascade made Rosenberg 20 years younger
4:31
The Devil May Cry game we never got.
I wonder if anyone In Black Mesa has ever fully explored every area in the facility. It looks like it sprawls underground for miles and miles of hallways and rooms.
I think even Gordon missed a good chunk of the facility since many parts of it were destroyed or inaccessible after the cascade.
For a second I thought it would be some unique dialogue, not the same phrases we've heard before. Oh well!
Still, enough to show that you're between real human beings and not just mindless NPCs with no sense of communication.
@@charmyzard Nah, scientists and security guards still feel like robots to me still. HL2 citizens seem like they have more character.
@@dfrozen4022 HL2 A.I is completely bullshit
Me too. Disappointing, but at least now we don't have to wonder!

"Did you submit _your_ status report to the administrator?"
*chairs and table vanish *
"I believe so"
I was looking for this comment.
666 likes
XD
His status report was so bad the administrator decided to permanently delete the table they were sitting at
How tf did u made the comment not have "Read more"?
1:57 Tesla's Tacos is the most dangerous place to eat, there are no railings.
Live fast die hard for them tacos
Ay atleast you can just shit the taco's out with no railings blocking you

They will never make a Stalker out of me!
2:21 Devs: "You know what would be funny? A BANANA PEEL ON THE FLOOR!"

So that otis slips on it
Oh my God, the table disappeares.

"What is that smell."
"Hell if I know!"
"With friends like you... Man."

when i try to make conversation with my crush
Oblivion before Oblivion
"You know, you repeat yourself sometimes"
*This dialog then loops.*
They're like Oblivion conversations.
I saw a headcrab today. Disgusting creatures.
Have you heard of the high administrators?
I believe so
Good day!
I never even noticed there was an arcade machine.
Shea Agnew hey the scientists and guards need something to entertain themselves during their off time
It really needed that sound so it is not missed so easily.
Can you make a video about how the human NPCs start talking when you bring them close to each other?
You know, you repeat yourself sometimes.
*SCENE LOOPS FROM NOW ON.*
Black Mesa's main research subject isn't physics, but the psychology of awkward silences
These conversations have the pacing of Oblivion NPC dialogue
Anyone else love the aesthetics of Black Mesa? The whole underground laboratory with the tram and all the connecting walkways looks so fun to explore but we're so limited in where we can go. Anyone else want to fund millions of dollars into making a real Black Mesa?
be very careful
Woa you finally found a way to listen into their conversation.
But why do we all have to wear these Ridiculous ties
you wanna know why? it is symbolic. Management wants you to know you are their dog, so you are wearing their lease.
You repeat yourself sometimes
@@dontspikemydrink9382
You don't see me wearing a tie, now do you?
You know why? Because I'm a rebel.

Elder Scroll NPCs in my Half-Life?
It's more likely than you think.
Always glad to see notifications from this channel.
What bewilders me the most is the quality of that grilled cheese model.
The arcade game music sounds a little like megalovania
is it just me that loves the audio quality of speech in half life. Idk why I do.

Right, I see why we weren't meant to hear these in full
Leave it to Marphy to uncover small details like this that I barely acknowledged when playing ;).
3:20
That floor mirror
White Scientist: Anyone hungry?
*Table and chairs disappears
Black scientist: Absolutely
I think we all know that he ate the table and chairs.

I'll be honest... I never took the time to understand what they say because all I remember is doing "impulse 101" then killing all NPCs as I tram along.

Start: "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
End: "Do you know that you repeat yourself, right? Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"You know, you repeat yourself sometimes."
"Why do we all have to wear these ridiculous ties?"
"Stop asking that question."
"Why do we all have to wear these ridiculous ties?"

Best small detail in Half-Life series.
You know it's a bad day when your chairs and tables disappear.
Please do more of those videos. They’re so interesting and I love the details they’ve put into the NPCs
3:26 this room just defines half-life source perfectly. Broken features and shiny ass textures for no reason
Black scientist: *casually sits on nothing*
So much things unnoticed in Half life series! I love it!
1:11 I'm sure a lot of people didn't realize that was the helicopter on the landing pad in the original game.

Cause of these much content, I wonder if there's a mod that lets enable so many cut features and scripts that didnt play due to errors

Shoutout to that one scientist who managed to beat that Security Guard in Prax Wars.
As a kid I used to noclip and go listen to these conversations myself the second I hear any murmuring of people talking, lol.
Wow. This page is a hero to the half life community.
If the accident didn’t happen that day the employees would have bored to death instead , their conversations just kept on looping... 😅
