Alright. Let's do this.

The video doesn't actually start until 1 minute and 14 seconds in the video. Sigh.

I am on an abondeded trolley car in the middle of nowhere.

I traverse outside, trying to escape but, debris pilling up from inside the trolley car, is blocking my path.

I'm greeted to Krystal (voiced by Estelle Ellis) and she uses the Gravity Gun, to immediately pry off the debris.

"Here you take the gravity gun. You're better with it than I am."

Thank you Krystal.

"We've got a long way to go to find my Dad. It would be nice to have some extra help."

That is dialogue straight up taken from Alyx Vance. They just had Krystal/Estelle Ellis say that instead.

MOUSE 1 launch object.

MOUSE 2 grab object.

That's just-never mind.

4 minutes in.

"What the hell is happening?" is subtitled, even though Krystal clearly says "What on earth is happening?" instead.

Same text dialogue boxes and everything implanted into this game.

Me and Krystal are struck by some kind of "portal storm" and it completely demolishes the bridge, overhead of us.

We both look on from the distance.

The two of us, head through back where we started and I blast through gated/blocked woods with the handy dandy notebook-I mean gravity gun.

I guide Krystal through a trench, knocking out more wooded confines out of the way with the Gravity Gun.

We see a dead person on the ground, covered in blood.

Suddenly all of a sudden, the body we tried walking past, starting making gargling sounds.

"Zombies!"

Yes, zombies.

I immediately hurled a propane tank (why it's laying on the ground, of all things here I don't know)

And the "zombie" was immediately dead.

More of the same old retread, as Krystal shoots a few of them with her pistol.

And I just continue hurling propane tanks at them.

We go inside a "communication center"

Krystal tries to contact them but, the display computer goes array and shuts itself down.

She goes up top of the rafters of the cabin, trying to see what she can do.

I come across a loose plug and I plug it back into the wall with my Gravity Gun.

We managed to get the computer back on.

The dialogue box reads "White Forest. White Forest - this is Alyx Vance. Do you read?"

But in actuality, Krystal says "White Forest. White Forest - this is Krystal. Do you read?"

We managed to get a hold of Dr. Kleiner.

"Alyx! My goodness, is that really you?"

Isn't her name Krystal?

I immediately roll my eyes.

We had escaped City 17 and Krystal tells her "father" and Dr. Kleiner were okay.

Apparently the "Combine" are trying to open the "Citadel" with some kind of super portal.

The one that, me and Krystal were hit by earlier, was just a "litmus test".

And they plan to make a super-duper powerful one.

A random scientist we weren't familiar with at all, barges into the room where Dr. Kleiner and Krystal's father were at.

He wants to know if Krystal downloaded some data earlier (probably from Half-Life Episode 1)

And yes, Krystal says she has it.

Her father pleads for us to hurry up.

"Get here as quickly as you can, you two."

End transmission.

We leave the little house, hideout or whatever we were in and venture back outside.

We smash through a few wooden areas, splattering splinters near us but, me and Krystal were okay.

We then see a group of "headcrabs" try to attack us and I take care of them swiftly, with a propane tank.

The explosion causes me and Krystal to find, a factory of some sort.

We leave the forest area, we were in and investigate the factory.

The factory has a locked gate, impeding our progress.

I head to the top of the roof of the factory, to see if I can find a bypass code to the gate.

I find a button in two seconds, while on the roof.

And in stereotypical fashion, hitting the red button turned it green and it opened the gate for us.

As I hop down, Krystal is attacked by some kind of giant arachnid.

As Krystal is about to be mincemeat for the spider?

Some kind of Cyclops monster, kills the spider and Krystal is gravely wounded in the scuffle.

I was pinned down, as I was far too big to realize, I couldn't squeeze through there fast enough to save her.

Good thing, that cyclops monster or whatever showed up.

He appears to be friendly.

"Alyx Vance..."

Her name is Krystal.

"But the Alyx Vance...her condition is grave."

The cyclops monster, frees me from me getting stuck underneath the factory, and blows a good chunk of it off, so I could escape.

The cyclops yells out some kind of a screeching call for help.

"My kin will meet us at a sheltered location."

The monster carefully wraps Krsytal's near lifeless body, in his arms.

"Help awaits us, in the mines."

Okay.

I blast open crates and gates fences, as fast as I could in attempt to reach this "hideout."

The cyclops monster continues to point out the obvious, and I'm surprised I don't say anything back to him.

"Her state is delicate."

We come across an elevator with a crowbar, wedged in between it.

I immediately use the Gravity Gun removing the crowbar, trapping two gears, preventing us from using the elevator.

I hop in and before the Cyclops monster with Krystal could too?

The elevator crashes down, leaving me alone by myself.

"Press on, Freeman! I will take her to my kin by another path!"

Oh, great.

I try using the elevator to go back up as far as I can but, I immediately go back down.

Very pitch black and quiet down here.

Only helped by a few string of yellow lights on the sides of the wall.

Then when things are not going well and take a turn for the worst?

A few spiders, lunge out and try to attack me.

I use a laser gun equipped on the Gravity Gun to take them out.

I overhear a sound in the distance say "25%"

What?

I undercover some kind of passage way leading me, to a different route.

It doesn't make a lick of sense.

I destroy a few pieces of plywood, underneath me, opening up the hole in the ground, beneath me and further in.

I jump down the said hole.

A few spiderwebs block me way and I quickly take them out with the Gravity Gun.

I continue through, this little tunnel I'm in for a good 2-3 minutes.

I'm outside, actually near back where I started from.

Not making any sort of progress whatsoever.

The spiders then try to spew some kind of acid at me.

I retaliate with hurling more propane tanks at them.

"Mouse 1 - Fire one barrel"

"Mouse 2 - Fire both barrels"

I don't even know anymore.

It's a confusing route, I'm in as I accidently stumble back into the hole, where I initially came from.

I veer off to my right, to see a new part of the tunnel I hadn't venture in through yet.

Yes, it's confusing I know but, I just go with the flow and see where it takes me.

I hope Krystal's alright.

I pick up some kind of shotgun and I take care of more of the spiders, chasing after me.

I overhear "18%" in the distance again.

I think I should safely ignore, something like that.

After getting lost in there for a good 5 minutes, I'm finally out there.

I'm now in some kind - railroad crossing.

"It's Gordon Freeman!"

Yep! That's me!

"Dr. Freeman! Alyx Vance is over here!"

Why do you people always mistake her for Alyx? Her name is Krystal.

They don't even advise or help me, go in what direction Krystal is at.

I head, directly into the middle of the railroad crossing I'm at.

The Cyclops monster has Krystal on a green table, and she's still completely passed out.

"The Alyx Vance clings to the margins."

What is this dialogue I'm overhearing? Even I, don't talk like that.

"My kin is still a bit far away. For now, we much not be disturbed."

The cyclops monster is using kind of green funky, mojo magic with his hands. I guess using it as an energy source to keep Krystal alive.

"We got some health and ammo for you to use Gordon."

Thank you. I'm already well aware of them, since my time on City 17.

"The spiders are attracted to light. So we put some turrets out to attack them. Get ready Gordon!"

Okay, sure. No problem.

The railroad crossing, with the passage way were in, guarding Krystal is pretty quiet for a few minutes.

The spiders come in to attack us, just 1 minute later of me saying that.

That was short lived.

The turrets actually do a pretty decent job, taking care of the spiders for now.

I barely use my arsenal at all, to kill them.

I use my Gravity Gun to move the turrets in certain corners where they are coming from.

I move them at my own will. I didn't know I could move them.

For the next 10 minutes, this is literally all I am doing.

Krystal's condition doesn't seem to be improving.

The Cyclops continues to not say anything, as I turn to see if he is actually helping Krystal or not.

Another 10 minutes go by, as all I'm going to getting some help from two guys, and moving turrets around everywhere in our hideout, killing spiders.

The spiders actually start to outnumber us, as both of the turrets end up getting destroyed.

"That nest must be bigger than we thought."

The last of the spiders, are finally disposed of as the "Vort Army" arrives.

Friends of the Cyclops monster.

"Freeman. Our delay - regrettable."

Surely.

"We must attend to the Alyx Vance."

No comment.

We are 36 minutes and 20 seconds into the video.

The four members of the "Vort Army" surround Krystal.

"This will necessitate deep submersion in the vortessence."

I just stand beside her in silence.

"We require...the larval extract."

What?

The Cyclops monster says the following.

"I will make the journey to seek the extract deep within the nest, in the sacred nectarium."

This is real dialogue. 100%. I'm not pulling your leg.

"We must remain to keep the Alyx Vance alive."

Cyclops: Join me, Freeman!

"Yes! Take the Freeman!"

The three Vorts, guard Krystal while I go off with the Cyclops for the "larval extract" or whatever he said.

40 minutes into the video now.

Were basically retracing our steps here. Oh geez.

More spider monsters but, the Cyclops is doing more than his holding his own, helping me take them out.

He's doing a better job at it than I expected.

"What did the Freeman expect to find down there?"

I'm just trying to find a way to get this thing, back to Krystal.

"Truly, the Freeman leaves no path unexplored."

No comment.

Some zombies attack us but, the Cyclops uses some kind of green magic and hurls it at them, killing all of them in one blow. Nifty.

"Ah, a puzzling predicament of the sort which the Freeman is famed for swiftly solving."

I-I'm ignoring you, until we get this "thing" back to Krystal from here on out.

"I will observe with great anticipation!"

Sigh.

Things pretty much get tedious, from here on out.

I go from an elevator shaft, to an underground crevasse with zombies, I kill easily with one bullet of my shotgun.

It's a very overpowered weapon. I don't even remember using it that often, back on City 17.

I don't know how much further we have to go.

We stumble across a headless body.

Cyclops: "A poignant scene. An eternity's repose. It brings peaceful thoughts, does it not?"

No, it doesn't.

As we progress on directionless, the Cyclops suddenly tells me the extract, isn't far off.

Suddenly as we go further into the cave.

[Picked up larval pellet] is displayed on the dialogue box.

I pick up a few more of these, as we march on in the cave.

I blast a few more zombies in my path to kingdom come.

"I descend!"

You should shut up.

"The Freeman has done his task magnificently!"

So...all I had to do was pick up 8-9 different larval pellets?

The Cyclops directs me to a cave, how we got there, I don't have the foggiest idea.

A bunch of honeycomb shaped larva.

"Larval extract!"

Nice.

"Secretions of the finest quality."

Just shut up and hurry up.

"Let us return to the Alyx Vance."

You mean Krystal.

The Cyclops monster leads me back to where Krystal and the others are in the underground.

Step by step, I follow him.

"Truly, Freeman, well done."

We are 1 hour, 6 minutes and 43 seconds into the video.

The Cyclops hurries me to an elevator.

"Her heart has stopped!"

We're suddenly right next to the three Vorgs or whatever with Krystal, still unconscious.

"Behold! The extract!"

"Ah, yes!"

"Make haste!"

"Join now as we imbibe the extract."

I don't know anymore.

The four Vorgs suddenly change color from green to purple.

Is it working?

Krystal's eyes roll in the back of her head. (Seriously?!)

I see images of a strange man, glaring at my vision, that only I could see - as the others try to revive Krystal.

This whole hallucination lasts for a minute or two.

Krystal starts making weird grunting, noises.

"She stirs!"

Krystal moans as she continues to catch her breath.

"Oh my god...I thought...I thought for sure for dead."

Krystal's back alive and back to normal.

And it only took 1 hour and 10 minutes into the video.

"We knit shattered bone and restored circulatory integrity."

You guys, just...never mind.

Krystal reminds them, that we have to get to White Forest.

The Cyclops directs us to an elevator shaft.

"Travel well!"

"Farewell!"

His friends, saying goodbye to us.

"Okay, Freeman! Be adequate!"

"What the hell does that mean, anyway?"

"Ah, I dunno, sounds like something the vorts would say."

The three of us, get to the top of the elevator shaft.

Very quiet.

No real drama to speak of for the next 2-3 minutes.

The three of us head back outside.

Numerous helicopters spin above us.

"Oh my god. The Combine's on the move."

Yes, the name of the villain-never mind.

"I know of humans with a vehicle, not far from here."

How would you know that, you little Cyclops?

The three of us, work ourselves down the cliffs.

The spiders return and we all make mincemeat of them.

Nothing to fuss about.

"The humans have their enclave on the rim of this canyon."

At least, that was helpful for you to say.

A giant spider, shows up and tries to hurl cars at us. (I'm serious)

The three of us, hide in a little bubble of plywood with small openings.

We all continue to spray bullets at them from a distance.

They eventually stop the onslaught and there's dead spiders, all around us.

We are 1 hour and 20 minutes in the video.

Krystal: "Nice work, Gordon. Sorry I couldn't be more help. I'm still a little weak."

Cyclops: "Freeman! You dispatched those guards with great dispatch!"

Fantastic dialogue with repeating the same word, twice.

Cyclops: "Come now. The vehicle we seek is in the encampment above."

Roger that.

We head to the encampment via a lift, the three of us take.

Nothing but, empty hallways for the next three minutes as usual.

We continue on.

The three of us, see dead human remains.

There's at least 5-6 of them just dead, covered in blood.

Cyclops: "Headcrabs have had their way with both parties."

I see a strange man, walk by overhead of us, looking over the broken bridge.

It's the same man, that was shown during my hallucination, while Krystal was being revived.

I don't say anything.

I'm surprised Krystal and the Cyclops didn't notice him.

The Cyclops and Krystal find a working computer.

It's a white and blue vehicle.

"That's our getaway."

So, that's our little rendezvous right out of here.

The video ends at 1 hour, 26 minutes and 55 seconds.

Just like that.

To Be Continued.
