hm. so it turns out I've been using the rocket launcher wrong in hl2. you're supposed to point the laser where the rocket needs to go... ��
no wonder I was struggling so hard with the gunships and striders on my first playthrough skjdjdsk
#half life#half life 2#artemis rambles#idk where maybe in the documentary or somewhere else I heard that the rocket flies where you point the laser at?#idk how I missed this on my first playthrough. i struggled so hard with the parts in nova prospekt and city 17#where u have to shoot down gunships and striders. man. listening comprehension 100#been replaying hl2 on my steam deck and JESUS CHRIST why do the gyro controls fuck up every time i start the game?!#i have to recalibrate them all the time#i wanted to add a clip of me drawing a dick with the rocket launcher in the sky btw. but it took too long to upload from the deck 2 my phone#also uploading videos on tumblr is a pain anyway kdjsjs#okay rant over bye

From 2021-2022, this was an assignment where we turn characters into text.
Quite glad how it turned out.

BUG STRIDER
They sticbug
I decided to combine my insect exposure therapy and my favorite half life creature
it has similar body shape to an insect,it has segmented limbs, its head area looks like it had a proboscis, in HL2 they look similar on texture to antlions (before in HL:Alyx they got redesigned).
Conclusion: bug

On a more positive note as a fan of regular half life the hl2vrai trailer is so pretty and feels like a hl2 trailer for me
besides the obvious memes like Alyx smoking or The Giant Truck and chuck e cheese it is so fucking impressive and gets my half life brain rolling
The transition with the strider leg infront of the chuck e cheese was SO cool. hell taking the classic chuck e cheese map and making it destroyed with the citadel in the background. ive never seen a shot with a strider leg that close to camera. im sure someone else has done it but its So fucking cool
One thing they KNOCK OUT OF THE PARK is the lighting in the cinematic shots. oh my god
Breen sitting at his desk in that pose with the atmospheric lighting and the Breen statue bust (the sfm eyes always look a bit odd and super bright but what can you do)
Kliener/Bubby(?) in the dark with just the screen illuminating him
The shot of the combine in the foreground and the two others searching civilians in the bg
The guy in his bar wiping the glass illuminating out of the ground
RAVENHOLM OH MY GOD RAVENHOLM IS SO WELL LIT. I am interested in what the giant green jelly bean thing is.
and the MOVEMENT of the characters too. The guy stumbling when the headcrab shell lands. Alyx leaning against the wall. The guy getting beat by the circle of combine. I know its supposed to be haha funny thats way too many combine for one guy but the close up shot of him is SO impressive. and they edited his texture to have scarring and bruises and a missing tooth!! they did the effort!! THE TWO GMEN. UGH SO GOOD THE MOVEMENT AND LIGHTING. I mean even the giant truck!! the way it moves and the way the camera moves and the way the smoke moves and the way the seagull reacts its all so fluid
The over the shoulder shot of coomer on the train. in this lighting. with this music. The HL1 model looks SO correct. it doesnt look out of place at all. it looks NATURALLY out of place. he is not supposed to be here. but the lighting works so well on him.
This is half life 2 trailer quality for a jokey web show im so impressed
#hlvrai#hl2vrai#rtvs#wanyeradiotv#half life 2#half life#i know i shouldnt crosspost HL and HLVRAI. but if you like SFM animation#and incredible storyboarding and lighting and music#and dont mind the memes#and are a half life fan#go watch the HL2VRAI trailer#it has got me buzzing

what are your thoughts on the HL2VRAI trailer?
GOD I am so pumped. They created so much intrigue with that trailer, it's fantastic. Here's some of my favorite details:
The scene transition with the Strider's leg was Artful
The tone set with Coomer's monologue tells me that there will be effort put into telling this as a story. That story will be an improv wreck full of crass jokes and shit made up on the spot, and I wouldn't have it any other way, but they're approaching this with the understanding that they created a hard-hitting story last time and look forward to doing it again. Complete with dick slips.
Alyx
The scene of the two G-Mans, which most of us viewers instantly took to mean Tommy and his father. That is a compelling tease.
Adding to that-- the Kleiner model with opaque glasses seems to be Bubby, meaning that the science team are using the updates designs... except Coomer, who had no HL2 counterpart. This is not a mistake, this is an excellent choice.
Okay, I know I just put "Alyx" and nothing else as a kind of "enough said", but we don't know for sure that this character will be Alyx by name, and that's exciting! Who is this cigar-chomping stranger? We get to meet her! Fuck yeah!
I'm psyched and pumped

Black Mesa - Interloper
Black Mesa Interloper is actually good, the 'I got bored and decided to make this' rant.
So like... you jump through the Lambda Core teleporter and are greeted by this absolutely stunning skybox in Xen, and towering in the distance is the Nihilanth's lair, the 'Interloper Tower' as I like to call it. And you spend a good couple of hours moving your way slowly across Xen towards it.
Until you're finally standing at the base of this absolutely massive megastructure. Journey less than half over because you've still got to climb it.
And the god damn chapter makes you feel that climb. That's always something I've felt HL2s Citadel lacked, its like 8 kms tall in lore but it does not feel like anything other than a skyscraper, which after towering over you for much of the game is so anticlimactic. Like yeah the Super Gravity Gun is nice but the tower don't feel like the behemoth its supposed to.
Interloper does, and it is glorious. It's a slog as you slowly push your way up, as the Nihilanth throws all these forces at you trying to stop you from ascending, and you're burning through your ammo until, when you're close to running out, you come across the Gluon Gun recharging crystals and it goes wild. The tower itself is an absolutely amazing bit of worldbuilding too, it's like a massive living organism with technology sewn into it, enslaved by the Nihilanth to produce Alien Grunts like everything else in the factory.
And you climb, and climb. Reach the elevator and ascend, you can feel Nihilanth's desperation as you get closer. You're hurting, and tired and running on fumes but its a battle of wills between the two of you as to who will crack first.
Until you, at long last triumph, and are standing at the top of all that, overlooking everything you've come through over the last third of the game, conquering the tower. The catharsis of this moment would simply not have worked if the tower was half that height. Without the struggle the payoff is nothing.
This chapter is good, and I only wish the Citadel was like it. Imagine getting stocked up by Barney right before entering the Citadel, only to slowly burn ammo ascending through the Combine's manufacturing plants, going up past Striders and weapons and up to ships. And then hitting the confiscation field just as your ammo is hurting. And then bam, Super Gravity Gun. And then the catharsis of finally reaching the top and knocking Breen of the pedestal you've fought tooth and nail all the way up.

I’m so glad you’re back. I finally have someone to yell about all of half-life two’s problems to even though it’s a amazing game for its time that I’m beginning to appreciate more and more
HAI ROB!!! Glad to see you again! So happy to hear you're on your HL2 journey.
Heh, you got wasted by a bunch of Striders, didn't you? Don't feel bad if that happened. We all collectively hate those things.
#robcosposts#tess is talking#tess answers#I remember us talking about those things on Discord#God they are the worst#I also don't mind the driving sections but they do have their issues too

what would you say is your favorite part of half life 2?
Hmmmm idk how popular of an opinion this is but... Defending the base from Striders is certianly the most memorable moment. Was it enjoyable? Hell no. I was running around like a chicken without a head most the time
But I remember hearing the rebels cheering and I think it was this moment, in their joy, that I realized how much I love those lil guys. It solidified to me that they're actually the best part of this game for me and I really cared about their joy and their misery and UGH
THEM 😭😭💜💜 I CARE THEM SM I WANT THEM TO BE FREE AND HAPPY I WANT THEM TO HAVE HOPE AND A REASON TO CHEER AND AND---

So I guess the real answer is... The Rebels. Obviously. They're my favorite part of hl2

CONCEPT ART for TEAM FORTRESS 2: INVASION (2003)
"Early TF2 explored multiple pathways in art direction and game design. It first started with Modern warfare TF2 then to Space TF2 with aliens. After more exploration, War of the Worlds TF2 was getting some traction. We had a steampunk flair to all the designs. This version had a truck with a big battering ram driving around. And we were using Striders from HL2 as the Tripod aliens." — Chuck Jones on TF2's artistic development
