Back to the basics - The Security Guard

[joefreeman856]

That's why HL1 was funnier. Because there wasn't important characters at all, only you. So you could go shooting to everything and everyone and nobody would give a shit.

[Broadcastermaster29]

Gman better sound better...

[DragonMaster861995]

wow, one video about the new security guards replacing the old barnies, and everyone goes crazy.

[Kaweebo]

Whoa, if Sisk sounds exactly like Barney, no wonder they chose him to play G-Man too. I just hope he does a perfect job with him too.

[cheezybrotherstudios]

...You have heard of half-life: source, right? I mean it's already on steam.

[onekopaka]

@cheezybrotherstudios The point of Black Mesa is to completely redo the game in Source, to take advantage of all the new features in the Source engine. Valve's Half-Life: Source has the same old models, and in general isn't that much of an upgrade over the original GoldSrc version.

[SniperHero915]

@cheezybrotherstudios This is gonna have hl2 graphics.

[Dimbark]

Was that you doing that voice acting? I could use you...

[laitela01]

@Dimbark  "I could use you..." Get ready to pay for it, then. Voice actors have standards, they don't have time for some random 12 yo kids. Unless you pay a crapload of money . Sorry. That's how our crappy world works currently.

[semillasdelorto]

Actually the original voice is not better at all, the voice acto sound much more real and smooth.

[xalener]

MICHEAL ORGANISMS.

[GMAN4PREZLOL]

just step in to one of these... byewfs?

[GMAN4PREZLOL]

you should make a BLλCK MESA: BLUE SHIFT, BLλCK MESA: OPPOSING FORCE and a BLλCK MESA: DECAY 2-6 years after the release XD

[destroyer129steam]

@GMAN4PREZLOL That is being done already,

Blue Shift - Guard duty

Opposing Force - Operation black mesa

Decay - Hazard Team

Uplink - Uplink: Source

[GRxSHADOW]

i had a deja vu

i had a deja vu

[Darvon]

Step into these boofs?

[robloxguy23]

@Darvon Or is it... *Dramatic Headturn* BOOTS?!?!?

[dragonbaas]

barney met gordon 2 times in hl1: when they pass him at the start (like WeretFilms said) and when gordon is being dragged away and the soldiers talk: S1: and what if they find the body? S2: body, what body? S1&2: ohaahahahahahaha (and throw gordon in a waste crusher)

[GTK3392]

If they wanted to do it right they should have got the original voice actor

[Judes6647]

@GTK3392 They tried, but he declined the offer.

[hidnshadows]

so wait, when did he say that? Or is it just gonna be in this remake??

[goombaguy2]

there better not be voice acting for gordon...

[Torchaan]

@goombaguy2 wth no its for the security guard -.-

[goombaguy2]

@Torchaan actualy i saw a podcast after this and they said they are putting voice acting for gordon :( they said bcuz other games at the time that sold better had the player talk. but now i just hope you can mute it but keep the other sounds :/

[Torchaan]

@goombaguy2 oh no T^T

[Torchaan]

@goombaguy2 oh lolol ur talking about the april fools joke XDDD :)

[goombaguy2]

@Torchaan seriously? wow hahaha XD well it was on itunes... omg, i feel so retarded; but happy :) haha

[Torchaan]

@goombaguy2 hehe ^^

[taltigolt]

@goombaguy2 that was a april fools joke lol

[ArtemisJami3]

@goombaguy2 I think that was the april fools podcast...

[Munjeej]

I have played Half-Life all the way through probably around 50 times and to be honest your take on Barney is so good I would completely not notice if your voice was played at that point. Great job!

[Danerd9]

damn perfect voice

[ElChrisman99]

nice voice-acting. You hired some good people

[WeretFilms]

You dumb whores. Barney is the file name of the security guards of HL1, since they were not an important character they were "Barnies.". Barney Calhoun is derived from that and is the security guard in Blue Shift, and the same one in HL2. He is also the one who is locked out and you pass by on the tram in the beginning of HL1.

[nopushbutton]

Furthermore, I imagine that "barney.mdl" was (at least at first) a reference to Barney Fife, Don Knotts' character on The Andy Griffith Show, as older iterations of the model looked a lot like him.

[TheFamine123]

@WeretFilms That is where he is? SO why does he owe you a beer in HL2?

[WeretFilms]

@TheFamine123

It's more of a reference for nostalgia's sake. Being canon or not didn't matter much.

[Pjake7]

@TheFamine123 well after all hes done dosnt gordan deserve a beer? i mean really!

[Lunelitius]

@WeretFilms Yeah that is the part always confused me, if Barney is the first security guard we see locked outside, then they work in diffrent sectors, so they never saw eachother then HOW CAN BARNEY OWN A BEER TO GORDON

[Kaweebo]

Also, that line is from just a random line when you talk to a security guard where he says something like, "Hey stick around, I'll buy ya a beer." But for all we know Barney could've owed Gordon that beer BEFORE Half Life.

[JSK19951]

sounds OK

[deoradude]

"in order to differentiate the "Black Mesa" security guards from the "Barneys" of HL1, and of course, Barney Calhoun. But not so much to completely deviate from the original stereotype, as you can surely agree that a complete reinterpretation from scratch would be considered a sin."

and a cardenial sin at that too!

[BleachShippudenCards]

this is a 3rd party mod they cant use valves voice actors so give them credit

[Gilboron]

Step into one of these boofs.

[ThatsNotPoetry]

@Gilboron

I am so glad I am not the only one who heard that. Boovs.

[killerimaha]

I think he sounds too young

[irio333]

@killerimaha but barney calhoun is 23

[mvwil]

micororganimasms

[mickeymouse14]

i never herd this...

[seusgordo]

man, I still thinking that Barney is the best character in HL series, if you look with attention you can see it to cause alyx vance is just a "helper" in the game her father is just someone made for a "scenery" of the story, a supporting guy, and the other characters are another part of the scenery, to continue the story

But that not happens with Barney, Gordon, Gman and the Aliens/Zombies, they are the true characters of Half-Life series.

[Flubly]

Not bad!

[roxasfruit]

i know whats hes talkin bout

the vaporizing chambers in questionable ethics

[coldroll6]

booths

[XXcod5winnerstudioXX]

apeture science is better

[lighteelco]

He's not a real character until Blue Shift. Barney is the npc name of all the security guards.

[gmanhell94]

Also note that Blue Shift was released in 2001. So barney was a fairly new main character with the release of HL2. Without Blue Shift, Gordon would've been sent to Nova Prospekt at the beginning of the game

[atidiaX]

Are you fucking retarded? Calhoun is Barney. Barney is Calhoun. It's Barney Calhoun.

[raptormarlins211]

in hl2 Barney says he is from Black Mesa and sas he remembers you in hl2. Calhoun is Barney. he even says his full name in hl2. and in hl1 you hear both Barney and Calhoun from 2 diffrent people

[RigaudonAS]

Calhoun is Barney you idiot

[dudude11]

>Barney Calhoun

>not until HL2

>there was a HL1 game based on him

durp durp derpity

[Pyro627]

Boofs? :P

[j3buswtf]

the voice acting sounds amazing, good job guys

[IanWatson55]

Would it be possible to have morgan freeman do some voices for the game? hahaha

[paulbottomley42]

@IanWatson55: I hear he's playing Gordon Freeman.

[GangstaHedgehog]

Sounds similar! Good job!

[AirVol2]

boots sound like boobs

[clockwise3559]

its booths

[anonymous6366]

sounds just like the old one except less noisy

[zenophas]

If i didn't know better, i would mistake these new voice actors for the old, original ones, from the original Half-life.

[TheAssassin047]

Thats really really good.

[yukyuk21]

The original speech files where pretty noisy, i used to mess with them back in the day.

[plandercozeron]

dammit...christmas??? again christmas??? omg

[KINGROYBOY]

It sounds fresh and clean, but I'm not a fan of the heavier southern accent. It just seem a bit out of place to me.

[pintend]

Well,it does kinda make sense since black mesa is located in a southern state,The security guards are most likely locals.

[davvvvo]

bip

[CSPSpy]

Wow, nice.

[SplinterCell37]

I want a mic of that quality. :o

[ThefirstChank]

the first voice sounds like other security guards in half-life 1

[Akimitsu18]

It is.

[Lordmarkus93]

When the hell in the game does he says this?

[atidiaX]

I also would like to know.

[joeydestructo]

Maybe in Blue Shift or Opposing Force? I don't remember ever hearing that in HL1 either, so maybe it was in one of the expansions. Never played them so I dunno for sure.

[Akimitsu18]

At one point in the game, you start fighting these strong aliens that shoot these ricocheting guns at you. You run through these labs where you have to duck away into a control room and press a button to sterilize the room after they run in after you.

[joeydestructo]

Oh, yeah, I remember that room, when you first find it you turn it on and kill some headcrabs in a cage...I never thought to bring the soldier aliens back there...also I never had a Barney survive with me to that point lol

[irio333]

it did not happen in blue shift so maybe in opposing force

[coldroll6]

This game is 10 years old dumass.

[me67063]

This game isn't out yet dumbass.

[Ekioskari]

The original game is 10 years old dumbass. It's this remake that isn't out yet dumbass.

[xxTheSametxx]

youre really the dumbass:D

[oceanwave20]

Lol, step in these boobs,

[ElChubbaChubba]

i think this appears arround when u first meet the alien grunt

[Trampboy931]

ive never heard this line b4, where is it in original?

[NightmareGanon]

Which is the original?

[BlackOpSource]

The first one sounds like it, but I've never heard this line in the original game.

I have no idea what he's even-

And now it hits me. This is the Questionable Ethics thing, right?

[AlicanC]

First is the original.

[toxic996]

first 1

[circulation211]

Damn, he does a good ass impression of Barney! Sounds just like him...

[MATTHEWGU4]

Pretty nice. I get the urge to pitch shift this.

[zenophas]

In half-life 2 Gordon is really around 49 years old, about as old as Eli. But since he's been in stasis for 20 some years his body, i guess, never aged in any way. I wonder when valve is going to let him take a piss.

[Spellmyname25]

Lol, I guess alyx doesent mind :D

[JeffLeong1993]

XD'ed when i see this.

[mattsgp]

im not so sure about him being 49 zenophas...

[jaimsC]

Ithought he was between 25 and 30, but i have no prrof to thi sor the contray.

[BlackMetalMod]

It shows the age of him in the very beginning of the game in HL1.

[gamefan1997]

lol yeah,or at least drink or eat somthing.he would be starving and dehydrated by now!XD

[akeel456]

He doesn't piss because he doesn't drink!

And I don't think Gordon aged during his time with Gman. I can remember Eli saying to Gordon 'My god you haven't changed one bit!'

[brickct123]

one iota, not one bit =)

[LucanJacups]

But he was only 21 or so when he got put in to stasis, so while he may be 49 in numbers, in body and mind he's only 20-ish.

[coldroll5]

barney in hlaf-life 2 looks older look at is wrinkles and shaved goate and he's getting older looking not really old ust old.

[Airoton]

IF I get it right, when GearBox made Opposing Force HL1 Expansion, they had their own voice actors. When Valve bought opposing force from GearBox, they changed the sound to - with the voice actors from Half Life =/

MEaning, if Valve buys this - it will probably be the PROPER voices!

[ShadowGirliee]

I doubt it, they will only re-do the "not so good" voice files.

Anyhow, still 10months 27days  5hours and 32 mins remaining til this mod gets released.

[phobos001]

lets see.....

the mod is coming out somewhere around christmas? :D

[rareschamp]

this summer!!

[Reddles37]

its coming out around Christmas

[SaberUmbra]

Sounds good!

[JPleal10]

It would be awesome to hear "The Scientist" voice actor. From what I heard from the newest trailer, it sounds pretty much like the original.

[hollow334]

the guy who plays barney in BMS sounds younger (which is logical cause hl2 begins years after the first game).

[youarepwned]

True, but the original barneys also seem a lot older to me. Like the Barneys in the original halflife? They look like they're in their late 40s. But the Barney in Half Life 2 looks like he's either in his late 20s or early 30s. At least that's how I see it. Barney and Alex and Gordon all look like they're the same age to me (i.e. 27-32).

[hollow334]

i agree, the original model of barney made him look old, but the HD version of barney made him look a lot younger, if you were talking about the about the original barney than yeah i agree.

[Zidayftwffs]

Yeah lol, thats pretty weird actually concidering gordon was in stasis for about 20 years, and barney is 25+ ish now? xD

[Grannn]

10 years

[oscillik]

official "story so far" text on episode one states that Gordon has been away for almost 2 decades

[DarkRisingLord]

And Barney has dinosaur powers that let him become ageless... At least thats what I think :P

[TheBaconator7]

but dinosaurs don't have powers!

[Emild00d]

They do. They can travel in spaceships too.

[alynnidalar]

Fifteen years, isn't it?

[jjcolo123]

hmm i thought it was 7

[Username23x23]

Where the hell did he go what an asshole! :P

[kevin6495]

20 years

[SAMPMoviesTFS]

28 days later

[nerdelicious5]

sounds good!

[maniamme2]

Not bad at all, however permit me to express my opinion. I liked the original better. But it was still pretty good, and I can definitely play a game with Barney's voice like that. Nice job indeed.

[jella11]

lol it is a different voice actor..well you can hardly hear the difference in the voice (not quality you can hear that difference very well xD)he sounds pretty much the same but that's probably mostly because of the bad quality of the original. still, the voice actor did a good job, though, ofcourse, he didn't time everything EXACTLY right, but hey, there's no need for that. it'll only sound forced. can't wait for the release. incredibly good job..would believe it if it wasn't even a mod.

[VHASE]

Kick ass voice acting!

[banmenow16]

I don't have any problems with the graphics from the original Half-Life, even today. From today's standpoint, the only actual problem I have with the game is the level of detail. For a game that is 10 years old, it ages very well.

[jollyross]

so this is a mod that accuratley recreates the amazing but poor quality first half life using the more advanced engine of half life 2?

[ballsopt]

"poor quality?"

gtfo.

[Opalauge88]

HL1 has poor quality.

[Lopo27]

dude it was released in 1998

gtfo

[Opalauge88]

Yeah well, but it had poor quality.

[ballsopt]

because it came out ten years ago...

[Opalauge88]

Yeah.. still has poor quality though.

[Deremixproductions]

Dur shit tard its a very old game back then everyone was like WOW! Holy shit thats kickass graphics....

[Opalauge88]

..and now everyone is like "WOW! Holy shit thats awful poor graphics quality...." :D

Ppl just don't get that I'm bullshitting them, I love it. xD

[Gammerman12]

dude, id like to see you make Crisis in 3d on the NES.

[jollyross]

yea, im not saying it's the games thought but it's an old game so it's graphics obviousley arent gonna be fantastic

[halflifehelpline]

fucktard. Half life was the best game in history and was the one that completely changed they way people play first person shooters.

[Opalauge88]

And it had the most poor quality in history too.

I love to bullshit stupid fucknuts like you. :D

[halflifehelpline]

So it was better than pong? NES? Atari? you are a stupid asshole.

[Opalauge88]

Yeah well.. you could say Half-Life 1 had the same crappy quality like Pong but.. in 3D !

Now isn't that something ?

And you're still a Fucknut, you don't get it, that I'm actually bullshitting you all the time, eh ? :D

Cretin.

[halflifehelpline]

Oh shit i thought you were serious XD

[Opalauge88]

No way ! Look at my other comments, I just love dipshit-reactions. I love the game and especially the "Opposing Force" Add-on. Oh Gawd, I hope they make "Opposing Source" or something like that, after they've released Black Mesa Source ! (:

[ballsopt]

no. another team is doing opposing force. ill let you decide on that mods "quality".

[RicochetSaw]

regardless, HL1 was THE best game ever made for any platform in any genre...

period...

[Opalauge88]

Yeah, are we over with that, yet ?

Because I already told all of you, that I was joking around. It was an intense experience and had a deep-story and awesome effects and graphics for it's time, though I hated the part where you're in the other Dimension with that gravityjumps. x_x

[ballsopt]

you made it pretty clear you were joking. it just wasn't funny.

But yes, the gravity puzzle difficulties have indeed been taken into account for this mod, along with All of the original's shortcomings.

[Opalauge88]

Yeah, not funny.. for you. I love to see the kiddy-like reactions of pissed ppl. I like to provoke.

[ballsopt]

yea. its childish of you.

[Opalauge88]

Yeah, well then I'm childish. And now ?

[ballsopt]

And now we FEAST.

[Opalauge88]

Yay !

[jella11]

naw it wasn't.

twas good, but, not the best.

I respect people's opinions but it's just not true.

[NERFER2]

Dude, for the time, it had some of the best graphics and gameplay for its time...

gtfo

[Opalauge88]

And best poor quality nowadays ! :D

[adamjanga]

Ya the only poor quality I know is the audio.

[Opalauge88]

And the graphics. (:
