Civvie 11 - Retro FPS Boomer

>fedora-tipping video filled with comments from bitter basement dwellers whose parents wouldn't let them smoke weed on Sundays and forced them to go to church

Holy crap, could that video be any more of a stereotype? I refuse to watch that degenerate shit but I'd bet money it's got at least one citation from the Bible where it cherry-picks a verse to "own the Right" and totally misses the point.

Everyday Civvie inches towards becoming the channel awesome tier content producer he parodied at the start.

I mean, he already has awful skits and "lore" that interrupts the review. He's had that from the beginning and it doesn't seem like a parody.

He had the forethought to at least keep those skits short (usually 10 seconds or less), so it's still bearable.

Now, if he starts dedicating fucking minutes to this shit is how you know he's gonna be going downhill.

Implying the dude ever had an uphill to start with.

I don't mind that sort of shit on a silly grabbag video like that. It's not my cup of tea, but it's clear he just wanted to fill in space. The whole video is filler anyway.

I watched it on the side while doing other stuff and it's not really about Christmas so much as notable crazy right-leaning commentators profiting off of the idea of a war on Christmas, but hbomberguy is an insufferable faggot in all of his videos who tries way too hard to be cool. Not that I've seen them all, I've seen 3, but still. One of the others I saw was him jacking off New Vegas, which is certainly a great game, but he reads too deep into things to try to find social commentary that isn't there because he's a fucking crazy person where literally everything is politics to him.
ps he makes a ridiculous amount of money from patreon for barely producing any videos

anyway regarding civvie, I wish he put more effort into his Thief vids now that they're all said and done. I know it's not really his thing and his core audience is probably not into slow-paced games like that, but he glossed over a ton of what makes Thief awesome and it was clear he was just rushing it by the end. Makes me wonder why he did it to begin with but I'm still glad he did.

Does he bring up how distorted the audio sounds? I’ve never been able to getpast that with OG Half-Life.

Are you talking about that weird digital echo you sometimes hear in the footsteps?

Also I never knew you could shove a crate in "residue processing" and skip the rising platforms.

When I first got HL, it came with Opposing Force and Blue Shift so I always had the HD faces, and I think they look fine. Why do people not like them?

Speaking for myself, and as someone who also started out playing the HD models, I thought they felt out of place with the original game's aesthetics. They look a little too clean in contrast with the low-poly environments, and the models look too good for the wonky animations they have to work with from the original.

Also, maybe it's because I grew up during the PS1 era, but I have a soft spot for that phase of early 3D gaming so the original models fulfill some of my personal biases.

Maybe it's just my ears going the way of the boomer with age, but back when I first played Half-Life I thought how echo-y the audio engine sounded like was really distracting. These days, though? I don't actually notice it.

I wonder if Civvie is ever going to do a video on Black Mesa. Of all the remakes-by-people-other-than-the-original-creators out there, this is the only one I truly enjoyed. Them taking an axe to half of On A Rail definitely helped with that, although Xen (once it was finally released) dragged on and the aesthetic was way too hit-and-miss once you got to the alien factories.

It was a great remake. They even went back to On A Rail and redid it again for their final update a couple months ago.

Xen was 10x better in the remake imo, especially interloper. You don't need to fight the Vortigaunts and you get an achievement for avoiding to kill Vortigaunts and just kill the mind-controller flying niggas
