Also a cross-series Brick Joke, as in one of the very first Freeman's Mind episodes, Gordon complains about being unable to find his oxycodone in that very locker.It is possible thought that Gordon simply overlooked it, as Shephard did find the pills hidden inside a thermos in Gordon's locker.Cue a Funny Moment that lasts all through episode 19 and partly into episode 20. Brick Joke: In the Barney's Mind/Shephard's Mind crossover episodes, Shephard finds a bottle of "antidepressants" in Gordon's locker, with the brick dropping in episode 18 when he finds out that it was actually oxycodone after he had already taken about four of them.Parker's Mind in episode 4, where Parker traverses through Half-Life, Doom 1 and real life.īarney: "What's this? Microwave, soda machine, bloodstain, plenty of soda.".And he jumps around several other games in an extension of the end of Blue Shift where Barney is stuck teleporting between Xen and Black Mesa in-game as well as Counter-Strike, Half-Life 2: Episode 1 (Which is also heard from the other side in Felix's Mind), and Sector C of Black Mesa where he meets up with Corporal Shepard trapped in Gordon's locker. Art Shift: The last half of the final episode of Barney's Mind are recorded in Microsoft Flight Simulator.This is somewhat subverted however, when he first fights the Mercenaries, who actually have proper combat training. Artificial Stupidity: In Parker's Mind, he is constantly raving about how stupid the Ultor guards are.Armor Meter: As in the game, Sheperd has a shield meter.
BLACK MESA VS APERTURE SERIES
This became Harsher in Hindsight when he cancelled the series for real. April Fools' Day: The author of Felix's Mind pulled off a very convincing April Fools prank, having everyone think he was giving up his series with this episode.More or less Shephard, when he attacks the Black Ops agents that he wishes to go on a date with.Apologetic Attacker: Parker's Mind episode 6, when he shoots the technician who won't lower the submarine.Aperture Science began as a shower curtain manufacturer, who got into theoretical sciences looking to build better shower curtains. Aperture Science's portal technology, however, started as a replacement for shower curtains, because their leader, Cave Johnson, was basically senile and hit his head on the ground one day. The shit that started half life was basically a response to aperture science's portal technology, as they and black mesa were rival companies. The portal side of the story is all a lot more light hearted, actually laugh out loud funny in lots of places. The combine in Half Life 2 are actually sort of the old parts of humanity and other worlds that the combine have collectively absorbed. They assimilate everything, from languages to resources like the oceans to the things that live their themselves. They go from planet to planet, taking every resource they can and making it their own, then using that planet as a base to launch new attacks. The Combine are like this mix of the flood and the borg, who are slowly conquering the entire universe. The combine aren't a singular race or entity of creatures, they're genetically engineered "things" that they assimilate like the borg. The stuff about the combine in particular is pretty horrifying. Humanity has already lost in Half Life 2, we're being extinguished essentially. The world in Half Life 2 is really fucked, they're right in the middle of teraforming it in an awful way. It's called the 7-hour war, because that's how long it took for humanity to surrender. There is actually an enormous backstory to both Half Life and Portal, all told entirely through secondary background items that are super missable if you don't pay attention. Go read news paper clippings and listen to radios as they chatter and letters left on desks and such. You need to go replay Half Life 2 and pay attention to the story told through the surrounding areas, lol.
