VALVE CUT CONTENT V2+1: Digging through Valve's trash since 2003! - Games

[QUOTE=Frying1Pans;52707738]Someone on the discord, Jasper, managed to find unused Episode 1 sound files and VCDs in one of the earliest versions of Ep1. These include G-Man swearing and snarling at the player.[/QUOTE] I need to hear this.

gman saying "well shit" is the funniest thing ever to me

going to need a video on these

Mhm, I originally saw these before Episode 1 was released, and luckily I managed to get people on the hunt and we finally found the English version of those Gman files :3

[QUOTE=Frying1Pans;52707738]Someone on the discord, Jasper, managed to find unused Episode 1 sound files and VCDs in one of the earliest versions of Ep1. These include G-Man swearing and snarling at the player. The preload also has ep1_intro in episode 1.gcf and test #2 G-Man image of the Half-Life 2 ARG from 2004. The version is dated to be no earlier than May 2nd 2006. Edit: They will soon be uploading the episode 1 shared.gcf to the Valve Cut Content discord. Edit 2: They're for download on the discord[/QUOTE] The readme says "Half-Life 2: Episode 1 pre-load disc contents". I remember people snooping around those back in 2006, but back then it was only possible to view the names -somebody managed to "decrypt" them? Is that even possible, they were probably partial files. Also, the voice lines kind of make it sound like the intro was originally playable, and the multiple "come back" lines were the "it's time to choose" of Ep1. [B]EDIT:[/B] oh, crap, it says "disc". I actually had a retail Episode 1 disc that was distributed by Buka in Russia - did it come from one of those?

I would have thought the discs would be encrypted too if they were pre-release but maybe not?

There are programs out there that can decrypt them. They also contain all the files needed to run HL2 minus one or two dlls that have to be patched and a soundbyte that's corrupt

It's kind of hilarious how oppressive Ken Williams Dick Sleeve, Sierra, released a more coherent and stable version of Half-Life twenty years ago, whereas the company that originally made it could only manage to scrounge together a literal baby to make it (barely) work on modern systems. [editline]24th September 2017[/editline] Makes me want to suck-start a twelve gauge and take the ole' double-0 buck train to pain town.

[QUOTE=halfer;52712709]A literal baby?[/QUOTE] Alfred has been confirmed to be the eternally-youthful spawn of a scornful witch, doomed forever to waddle around on his hands with his little bitty legs trailing behind him as he hastily tries to duct-tape together a game that nobody wanted updated, and which gets worse with every update.

How does Valve explain the fact that Gordon did not eat any food or drink any water during the entire events of Half-Life, Half-Life 2, and episodes?

[QUOTE=Sphoonerino;52713343]How does Valve explain the fact that Gordon did not eat any food or drink any water during the entire events of Half-Life, Half-Life 2, and episodes?[/QUOTE] dunno about you but my gordon drank plenty of sodas and breen's water reserve. medkits are also full of healthy nutriments!

[QUOTE=Hell-met;52713355]breen's water reserve![/QUOTE] don't drink the water, it makes you forget it made gordon forget how to speak

[QUOTE=Koray;52713609]I'm working up the nerve to go on[/QUOTE] Doctor Breen AGAIN? I thought I'd seen the last of him in City Fourteen.

I like to pretend the HEV suit just kept him running on adrenaline for days or something. Or off screen he is fed that nutrient goop that Robocop eats.
