Hi guys, this one had been requested a lot and put it this way, I now understand why! I didn't want it to end and that tells you that it not only won me over, I was invested.

Short films are difficult because you don't get long to set up the world let alone build a relationship with characters. As you can see in this one, it's all about world building. As a cold caller, this is exactly what I needed but how did they win me over... Let's find out.

Not only is there a reaction but I did a deep dive breakdown on this one it was that good.. Exclusive breakdown may I just add. What did I like, what did I love and what did I hate!?

Nice short film to watch. Its a shame its so short, and the ending its maybe too open I think. If you had to do a short film about any of the games you have reviewed so far using this source filmmaker, which one would you choose?

2 things. The sequence where the rebels are prepping their weapons has a shot where the rebel shotgun pulls back the pump to reveal a armor piercing slug, a previous short had that same character use regular shotgun rounds on soldiers with basically no effect, one of my favorite little details. I’d love to see you take apart parrygod’s other half-life shorts, Patient Zero is basically his magnum opus but his prior work still has plenty of love and attention to detail.

Did you watch the last Tha Batman movie? If so how did you like it?

ammogreed

I'm talking about the 2022 batman with Robert Pattinson starring.

Aw ..... Even though I'm on the rebles' side and "team Freeman/Vance(Kleiner)" all the way.... I still would've loved to see "the manhack" really doing its thing🙈

The world of Half-Life is wild… You're not the only one who has trouble understanding the Combine's speech. Their masks were designed to sound inhuman to outsiders, while being perfectly clear to themselves. Also if you pay attention, the civil protection units (the normal soldiers that got wiped out with the explosion) that are still normal humans, comunicate in a more human way, but the spikewall (big dude) is way more inhumane in his comms and even harder to hear than the others. That's because even though the spikewall was once a person, they wiped out all his memories and transformed him into a mindless killing machine. The lore is deep...
