Welcome to my Let's Play of:
LPHL2logo.png

300px-Halflife2cover.jpg

Yes, another Let's Play of this game of epic proportions, but what makes it different? You say. Well, I added a little twist with the help of a mod called Synergy I can play the game with one or more friends, so that's what I did, I brought a friend in who will go through this hell of combines, zombies and antlions with me. We do not take the game very seriously, we mess around a lot which we think should make it more fun to watch.

What does Wikipedia say about the game?
"Half-Life 2 is a science fiction first-person shooter computer game and the sequel to the highly acclaimed Half-Life. It was developed by Valve Corporation and was released on November 16, 2004.

Half-Life 2 takes place in a dystopian world in which the events of Half-Life have fully come to bear on human society, which has been enslaved by a multidimensional empire known as the Combine. The game takes place in and around the fictional City 17 and follows the adventures of scientist Gordon Freeman who must fight against increasingly unfavorable odds in order to survive."

Characters: (More characters added when we get to them)
The protagonist, Gordon Freeman

Enough with the introduction, let's just watch the videos already!

    Okay, not to fellate you, but there's already more production value than I expected, and it's like a two player version of Concerned.

    Ever heard of the Life and Death of Gordon Frohman? Trust me, it's a compliment.

    Anyway, an enjoyable first set, can't wait until things pick up action wise.

    Oh yeah, it's been a while since I read it.

    Thanks! :)

    Okay, let's just not focus on the music then, it's a 30 second intro with the song Mr Torture, I didn't make an entire Let's Play so you could bash the song, some people are going to like it and some aren't, and that's fine.

    It does not make a good first impression

    I am not first impressed

    On the plus side you both have decent mics, which is good

    Oh so you're not impressed by a Let's Play that doesn't have music that appeals to you? I'm sorry, I can't please everyone, but would you please look aside the fact that a really small part of the videos will not appeal to you and just focus on the Let's Play itself?

    Dude, just take the criticism and move on. Getting offended over nitpicking isn't going to get you anywhere.

    I'm not offended, if I were offended I would probably have gotten a little bit mad at least. As I said, I understand you don't like the music in the intro but that's not even 1/8 of the point of this whole Let's Play.

    Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that you even take your time to look at it and post here.

    Look, I get that you want feedback on the LP itself, I really do, but you've just posted the first video. People are going to post first impressions, possibly even while watching the LP. Give it some time so people can make up their minds.

    And if they have a criticism, keep it in mind so that you can improve future sets and future LPs.

    Part 2 is up! Up until after part 6 the quality won't be so good because the recording settings were wrong, can't believe I realised it until now.

    I think to counter the silliness of this LP, I will do some posts about what you would have gotten if I ever finished my LP, which is a whole bunch of cut content and beta stuff and all that jazz.

    First up, City 17
    hkgoq.jpg
    City 17 in the old concepts was a lot more dreary than in the retail game, it was originally supposed to take place in a American city, the idea of having the citadel be a more organic looking construct was also toyed around with very early on, but was eventually dropped in favor of more mechanical everything.

    An early breen screen. In addition to the early propaganda eye, you can see a early citadel, and some posters. Originally, instead of Breen, there was supposed to be the consul, which is pretty much a different looking Breen.

    Finally, a early concept of the consuls office.

    Oh yes, I've seen a lot of the stuff from the first ideas and the leaked beta. I like some ideas from their early concepts, it gives much more of an idea of the "Big Brother" and so on.
