Half-Life 1 Summarised - Part 1

For those of you who don't have time to play it, I played through it again the other day for you and will try to summarise each of its 18 chapters for you so you feel as though you have played it. I did it on medium difficulty, and it took 5 and a half hours.
0:00 - Chapter 1 - Black Mesa Inbound
1:42 - Chapter 2 - Anomalous Materials
3:27 - Chapter 3 - Unforeseen Consequences
6:57 - Chapter 4 - Office Complex
9:44 - Chapter 5 - "We've Got Hostiles"
12:15 - Chapter 6 - Blast Pit

"You finally meet the army. BUT TO YOUR HORROR..."

I really love hearing this calmed British accent while playing the game even though i have played infinite times of half-life

I thought the pace was good. It's interesting seeing this game from someone else's perspective. My memories are fairly fresh, I only completed it two years ago when I didn't have internet for a couple of months. Haven't played hl2 since the orange box came out though so need a refresher there

11:02 "Don't shoot. I'm with the science team!"
Damnit, I can't stop thinking about Projekt Melody whenever I hear this. Damn you, Rimmy!

I’ve played this game at least four times, and I NEVER knew that you can escape the Blast Pit tentacle monster by sneaking past them. My mind is blown. I always brute forced my way through the platforms by making a mad dash for it.

When I was a kid, any time a Vortigaunt killed me, I angrily yelled "Vorticunt!"

[JamieTheEnby]

I personally really liked this type of narration story tellling type format, keep at it and I think you could do this for every matter of game.

13:50 "Because this is a Valve game, and so ladders are as fiddly as balls.". I image this read in LGR Clint's voice.

6:10 Didn't know there are vents. I always jumped to the ledge

[partypopper]

I watched this video straight after beating the game to get a better sense of the storyline. Thanks a lot Phillip.

[zxk]

13:40 lol i didn't realize that it won't hear you if you shift until now i always tried rushing through that level and it took me so much time

[jtkgames]

I’m like the security guards, the buttons don’t do any noise, but whenever I press one, I say “boop”

[hawk]

I have a friend that just won’t play through this game no matter how I would sell it to him. Maybe this video series is a good alternative for him. I completed the game a few times but still would love to watch your series on it :D Great work man

[Jiedel]

Really good vid for those of who played HL2 and the episodes but don't feel like playing an even older title, I feel like getting your gameplay experience also helps me remember the story more than those shortened plot recaps.

[nexpressin]

absolutely more contents like this, plus it bring back so much nostalgia.

"It's a Valve game, so the ladders are as fiddly as balls"
I fully agree.

[grindersky]

Scientist: "I've told you a hundred times, I am opposed to pushing this equipment beyond its test levels!"

Gman: This is not your decision to make.

You must not get in the way.

I won't be giving you an answer (There is something else at the end, I don't know what he's saying though.)

"If I had one of those suits, then I would, certainly" (I'm not entirely sure about this one.)

My employers don't agree with that!

You're a scientist and a fraud. Ta-Ta.

[luckyrail]

Look Gordon! Ropes! We can use these to help with pits!

Philip it's 3:27 am go please let me sleep and not intrigue me with your amazing videos

I think it is important to mention that the black scientist seen first at 3:03 and later at 3:38 is Dr. Eli Vance, father of Alyx Vance, the protagonist of HL:Alyx. Dr. Eli was an integral part of HL2 and its episodes. When the game HL1 was first made the scientists were generic, but were later retconned as having names, backgrounds and important roles in the story, like Eli and Isaac Kleiner.
This is from the website combineoverwiki:
"The African-American scientist model ("scientist03", or "Luther") was turned into the character Eli Vance for Half-Life 2. Eli is said to have lived at the Black Mesa Research Facility with his wife (Azian) and daughter (Alyx), although they are not seen or mentioned in Half-Life. Eli was retconned in Half-Life as being the scientist who sent Gordon for help right after the Resonance Cascade.[2] In Black Mesa East, Eli tells Gordon after meeting him again: "The last time I saw you, I sent you up for help after the Resonance Cascade. I never thought it would take you this long to get back to me!""
Not sure if you forgot about it or thought is was not relevant, even though its the father of the main character of the new game.
