quite a lot of people think the voices are ai generated. i absolutely do not think this is the case. they just sound like crappy video call recordings edites with something like that dumb adobe voice enhancer, with laura and marc's at the start (and later danika's) being the smoking gun for me

You're finally back from the 3rd vacation within 2 days, CS2, now HL2

"...contact me, at, Gabe N..." Is seared into my memory. I dont know if this is common because ive never seen any memes of it, but ive been referencing it with my friend since Portal

It even sounds like 2004 VOIP audio. They did a great job staying authentic. Or they were just lazy and recorded it on phones in their living rooms. Both are fantastic.

sarminder

just finished replaying the whole game to listen to these lol

Gaben didn't reassure us he reads all our e-mails :c

Imagine being the dumbass who thought dropping items put them into an inventory lmao

4:35 you accidentally making the chinese food box float away 😂

I love the point in the box stacking tutorial that it can teach players the wrong lesson. I remember trying to stack my way out/around so many situations when I first played the game. I also remember one friend of mine got to the canals section and missed the boat. He saw two boxes and started leapfrogging them through the canals and didn't know he had missed the boat until I told him the next day at school.

I was hoping you'd do this! I started replaying hl2 to listen to these but I don't have the patience to stop so frequently; I just want to play the game. This way I can treat the dev commentary like a podcast

Thank you so much Philip. I'm currently suffering from the bi-annual bug of "2x everything", and after going through my daily youtube routine at a grueling speed I couldn't bear listening to all of these at normal speed in-game. This fixes everything, much love.

"nailing alyx" is not the title i would have given that specific bubble lol

14:40 Thank you for the replay there! By the time I was listening to this node in game and got to that point where he mentions the bird I've already triggered it, so cutting in a replay there is super nice

0:55 I like how much emphasis he puts on the 2 syllables of his email. Trying to stop a new sound bite from forming.

Just played HL2 for the very first time, and I'm amazed how much goes into environmental storytelling

It's definitely a fresh air to see (2 decades late lol) in the current landscape of video games, I hope we'd be seeing more of it in HL3
