  • Still one of the best videos that Machinima have put out in their history.

  • @imadethischanneltowa Made by myself, but thanks for the compliment.

  • @ILLRobinson Sorry, I remember reading about this in a book based around Machinima, and I assumed it was put out by Machinima. It's still an amazing video.

  • This song describes the current state of America so well!

  • Makes me wonder how long until we see Half Life 3.

  • The other video in the link you gave is missing the opening audio from Dr.Breen. Please keep this one "Original" Thnx.

  • All these years later, and this is still one of my favorite Machinima music videos. This is perfect.

  • WHERE THE FUCK IS EPISODE 3 ALREADY!?

  • Comment removed

  • This video is what introduced me to Valve 5 years ago. I didn't really understand what I was watching, so all I knew is that this video was awesome.

    Now, I'm a massive Valve fan who has 1400 hours on TF2 and has played every game Valve has made. I'd just like to thank you for introducing me to my favorite company and all my favorite games.

  • @Zyroq111

BEST FREAKIN' GAMES EVER

  • Half-Life²...best First-person Shooter EVER!

  • @Himmelslaub Nobody can deny that. If someone does, i want a really good reason.

  • @Himmelslaub Half-Life² is the best game i have ever played, legendary game.

  • Pure epicness.

  • I still think this is better than teh full FPS version...

    Most likely because this one still has Dr. Breens voice on teh intro...

  • 39 people don't play half life 2

  • I wondor if there will ever be time where you have to kill g-man that would be bitch becouse he would just keep teleporting everywhere

  • @totman98155 It wouldn't make any sense killing him.He is 'neutral' why would one kill him?

  • ...will they ever let us breed again? God, it makes us sound like animals

  • @cray0523 That's because we are animals...

  • we will defeat the combine.

  • 38 people are still seeing Breen

  • Gay-man

  • @JoakimJockeHansson Only you would know. Your the expert.

  • @OliverN3RD I know everything about you

  • @JoakimJockeHansson Yeah right! PROOF!

  • R.I.P. Robert Culp one of the greatest voice actors in the Half-Life Trilogy.Amen

  • By far the best half life 2 music video, you strapped a rocket on that mother f#*$@en bar on a rocket.

  • G-MAN CALLD LIKE THAT BECUSE ITS GOOD MAN

  • @sharonyusimov GOVT

  • @sharonyusimov NOMUTHUSNOTRIGHTITS GOVTMA}|

  • @sharonyusimov he seems very neutral to me. like its just his job at the time being to help the resistance. he did after all, give the crystal to black mesa, thus indirectly opening the portal that allowed the combine to invade earth. 

  • @sharonyusimov it's "Government-Man"

  • @weezing22arbok It is? Huh..I always thought it was "Garry Man"

  • @13vinh itis G-Man but valve never called his ingame charecter this just his NPC name in HL1

  • @fireman1991 .."it is G-man"...OF COURSE WE KNOW THAT.We don't know the "G".

  • good my mom cry

  • 38 people are metro police

  • "I'm glad there are no kids around to see this..."

    -Rebel

  • AWSOME!

  • Wow, Gman is a great singer XD

  • i believe gman is someone like gordon freeman that tried to kill breen and he failed at it.and now hes guiding freeman to kill him.thats my thoughts

  • 0:48 , is that an Hellsing poster?

  • Music videos like this one made me love So Cold. And also hearing it each time I joined a HL2:DM COOP server made it even more EPIC. Rly, thankyou!

  • EPIC

  • i dont think theres a more perfect song for hl2

  • g mans eyes are not from this world :D

    they re glowing in dark whenever i play hl2

  • Gman has a great singing voice

  • @andoconda585 LOL

  • How can 38 human being possibly click the disslike button!? You know what I was wrong, I commented on the "Half-Life 2 - So Cold Music Video" saying I had been watching it ever since it came out but it was this one. I thought that the other one only having 700k views in 5 years was robbery, but this one only has 107,860!? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SHIT.

  • u ddnt make this u stole it :| en upload it

  • I forgot all about Breen was after the Episodes.

    This video somehow reminded me how much of an annoying fuck he was.

    For that I hate you, but I also love you because this video is so amazing.

  • nice opening speech

  • like omg O.o Gman Rocks !

  • G-MAN f***ed the world and he knows it

  • What the fuck, why are people liking this? The quality is absolute shit and the original version is easily available.

  • @Foogooman7 you obvioulsy have never played the half-life series.

  • @paimail21 I'm not talking about the video itself, dumbass. I'm talking about the quality. I like the video, but not when it's such shitty quality.

  • @Foogooman7 All the videos on this website are excellent quality compared to what graphics were only a few years ago. The quality of this video is decent at worst.

  • Why did you put this video if we can find it on youtube, on a good quality?

    I didn't got the point...

  • Breen is dead . the actor for him died on the 20 of march :(

  • @rulejordan5 on 24 of march

  • @rulejordan5 May Robert Culp rest in peace. He was awesome has Dr. Breen, has one of the greatest video game villain of all time.

  • @Jonhol1986 he was one of my favorite half-life 2 characters, just the actor alone made the game evern more awesome than what it was ;(

  • @rulejordan5 The guy who voice breen has passed away :(

  • Even though the frame rate was crappy I still liked this version the best because I felt the Breen intro made it better,but I think Valve had some problem with it or something and it got changed for that reason.

  • R.I.P. Robert Culp, voice actor for Dr. Breen.

  • Yeah I remember watching him and Bill Cosby on I Spy when I was a kid.Which still makes me old.

  • Robert Culp was a good person but Dr.Breen wasnt i say wasn't cuz he died 6 years before Robert Culp

  • @idlemessiah o.o that dude died

  • @idlemessiah He died?! D:

  • @idlemessiah ROBERT CULP DIED?!!?!?!? ... oh god... When? and how are they going to do episode 3 without him? have they been debating what they are to do? oh shit shit shit.

  • @AtomicDonut22

    Breen died (sadly the voice actor did too)

  • @AtomicDonut22 dr breen also died in hl2 not appearing in ep 1

  • @AtomicDonut22 I think that NOW in that moment they are making episode 3 , BUT wait a minute Dr.Breen died in Half Life 2

  • @idlemessiah what? so who'll be the voice actor for breen in ep3?

  • @kampfpudding1 it isnt the question who will be the voice actor for breen(because breen is already dead and uninteresting for the next half life series) the question is, who will be the voice actor for those characteres Robert Culp also synchronised

  • @idlemessiah so that's why HL3 is delayed...

  • @idlemessiah

    has he really died!?

  • @idlemessiah Well...They killed him off at the right time too..

    Surprise surprise.

  • @idlemessiah ;c

  • @idlemessiah His Voice Was LEGENDARY !

  • The combine are so incompetent. They're being overthrown by an MIT grad wielding a woodworking tool.

    Also, anyone notice how the FPS on this copy is utter shit? Made me thought my video card was dying.

  • RIP Robert Culp, sad news.

  • The "Combine" do not deserve the title of "Alien Race"! They are a mindless and soulless war machine, bent on nothing but claiming the planets one by one! No wonder the Humans of Half-Life rose against them. The Soviets AND the Fascists of the 20th century tried the same thing, and the peoples they conquered did the SAME thing.

  • @Bricktopher nonotmindless,curruptdind,soul­essnearrthamaerkormerc

  • i saw this years ago, back before i knew anything about film/machinima.

    i look back at this now and see this was made by Paul Marino.

    Paul Marino was awesome before Machinima was awesome, man. what the fuck.

  • Breen's a consumate politician. "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help you." Think about that the next time you vote to give your government even more power over how you live your life.

  • sweet vid

  • This makes me wonder what is gmans real plan for Gordan Freeman.

  • Combine dont give a shit bout the humans well-being, planet earth is a easy place to conquer, and its a great place to breed an army / keep its forces, they are merely a race based around war, no relations involved

  • not to play along with theorising, but look up "Aliens" by civil protection. It's kinda a nice/funny way to talk about the 7hour war.

  • @folken53 You underestimate us. If you really think about it, we're very advanced right now and I KNOW we are not based around war. There's just too much bad stuff in the paper and not enough good stuff. People find bad news interesting. And besides, any intelligent life would know that taking over an entire planet and species is completely wrong. I don't call it a race because it sounds so competitive. Oh well, that's just my opinion. If you wanna be a public pessimist, that's your problem.

  • "any intelligent life would know that taking over an entire planet and species is completely wrong?"

    By that criteria, humans aren't intelligent. Because at least two bunches of humans (Nazis, Communists) have tried just that.

  • @DoomShepherd Intelligent life that is not suffering from a mental illness or anything of the such. The Nazis were brainwashed and Hitler had his beliefs all screwed up. I suppose you'll just make some clever reply to this, but trust me, it's not worth it. My belief still stands. I may be depressed but I don't tell everyone how goddam weak we are just to make them feel inferior. I really think it's just YOU that's pathetic, not US.
  • @Ancubius Alien minds won't work like human minds. Life isn't like it is on Star Trek, where all the aliens' thoughts are easily comprehensible to humans. It's likely that from our points-of-view, they will ALL be suffering from a mental illness. Aliens might not want our resources or our living space... but they may want to wipe us out because we live in an area of space that is "sacred" to them... just like the Native Americans, when white men mined for gold on sacred mountains.

  • @DoomShepherd Ah, touche, DoomShepard. You have seemed to prove my point null. Well done. Although I do actually believe that any aliens whom are intellingent enough to be able to invade our planet SHOULD have a similar way of thinking of things. Not even we have found another planet able to sustain life. So I would think that if aliens are more advanced than us they should understand how wrong enslaving an entire species is. You do prove a point but I do have a well standing fact just as you do
  • @Ancubius Thing is we realise it's wrong as long as we consider the beings we enslave as "equals". To my point of view we're still enslaving pigs, cows, horses, other species in general that we consider inferior. The combine consider humans as inferior as well, they use them as mindless mechanics. Inferior beings used as a tool. PS I'm no vegetarian at all =)

  • @ldenolf its natural selection, the inferior being chosen by the bigger ones. but the inferior sometimes prove to be bigger but in a lesser stage of life, therefore one day cats will rise up and enslave the mice, making small weapons and rallying a war against all humans. except for me. cus i am awsum. and cats love me. lizards too...

    maybe octopuses will make weapons first...

    hmmm...

  • @Ancubius

    When you say you "KNOW" what they will act like, you're only fooling yourself. The world you live in may be nice and pleasant and shiny-happy-non-depressing... but it isn't Earth.

    Oh, and folkenb didn't say HUMANS were based around war, he said that the Combine was. Which, of course, is why the Combine defeats Earth so easily. Advanced tech + warlike beats Less-advanced tech + semi-peaceful every time. Just ask those Native Americans.

  • LOL WTF

  • my favorite song and game in 1!

  • I felt it was about how breen acts nice, smiles, and 'thinks' what he's doing is 'for the greater good', but in the end he's just in it for his own gain; it's saying that gman is the same way, that he's just 'helping' gordon (even tho it was his fault for both gman and breens victems situation) before ultimately using him for some ultierior motive, only he's WAY more of a threat since by the time u realize that u have to get away, he has u in his grasp.

    Great work! This sucked me in!:)

  • such a old game i miss it :( it had a great story line and action it was perfect but is just so old

  • @meatwad253 Get a game for the 360, PC, or PS3 called The Orange Box, it has Half Life 2, HL2 episodes 1+2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2!

  • It's not fucking old, you dolt. How old are you?

  • @meatwad253 At the time of it's release, it was epic compared to all the other games at the some time, and for me, today, it's still epic.

  • NIce Dude...

  • I have to play Half-Life 2 again (5th time)

  • i love it

  • lol gman is singing in that voice xD

  • This song was made just for this video! And those who made it didn't even know it.

    This is so fantastic, such a great music video!

  • Gman is does also mean Goverment man

  • I Love this music Video! Do More!

  • G-man is only refereed to as G-man because that was his file name in Half-Life1... I believe the Half-Life universe goes deeper than "G-man is Gordan from the future"...

  • this guy is right. That is the real reason he's called g-man.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome!

  • Everyone who thinks Gman is Gordon Freeman.

    The reason why Gman gives Gordon a choise in Half Life to fight or to live, Gman is Gordon, so he makes the right choise. I dont believe Gordon is Gman, i think Gman is the "Safekeeper" of Gordon. Maybe he made a deal with Gordon and took his power to talk away so he could guide Gordon. So Gordon needs to do Gmans "tasks" to get his voice back...Or the Black Mesa test screwed him up cause he didnt had a helmet.

    Thats just what im mthinking

  • The reason he doesn't talk is not part of the plot. Its a cliche of the fps genre. It removes you from the immersion when the character in an fps speaks.

  • you're right, this cliche is used by valve quite a lot, the half life series is a prime example as is portal

  • good job

  • I can't wait for Episode 3 to come out! I'm so excited to learn more about G-man, he's the the main reason i got ALL the HL games =P who the hells is he, and what's his agenda!?

  • w8 a minute..... IT'S SO COLD! :D

    by breaking benjamin. :P

    5/5 ^^

  • Comment removed by youtube editor

  • MOST EPiC!

  • Please vote a Half life 2 scariest creature

    Me : Fast zombie and Hunter

  • I miss the super gravity gun.....

  • well then valve accepted the name but it was community made it wasnt made buy valve

  • Comment removed

  • but this is a copy!!!!!! no nice!!

  • Why the fuck are you bitching about it? Fuckin trolls.

  • song:So Cold breaking benjamin

  • Not true. He's called "gman" in the directory files.

  • i kinda like gman..

    i think hes the good guy..

  • I really think he is some king of god being able to pull Dr.Freeman out of reality and put him back in, BUT also the game makes me think that Freeman is his slave/bitch of sorts.

    My personal (MEANING DON'T READ IF YOUR IGNORANT) thoughts are Gman is like Freeman's personal Angel/Lawyer ,for better or worse, and his job is to keep Freeman on the right path of sorts, BUT ever since episode 2 Gman lost his grip on Freeman because of the vortigaunts and Freeman is just going along with the ride.

  • something like that yeah..

  • DOH! I mean ever since the beginning of episode 1 not episode 2.

  • Good theory.

  • @SpartanA47 I find it funny that you said don't read if "your" ignorant, it's you're

  • @SpartanA47 my thoughts on gman are that he is not real but a creation of the nihlianth when earth made first contact with xen was made he was imprinted on everyone inside blask mesa or the world wich explains why more than one person could see him the. why gordon took so long to get out of black mesa (20 yrs) is because it was a slow teleport like in nova prospect but bigger and gman was just a dream/nightmare.

  • He's hired by somebody, but who? My thoughts...

    The Combine is an empire spanning through multiple realities, not just planets. They've bested dozens of civilizations, and some fear they're next. An opposing force looks for a way to take down the Combine Empire, and sees promise in the human race and Gordon Freeman. They send this unnamed messenger to direct the human race and Gordon Freeman onto the path to destroy the Combine Empire as a whole and save countless civilizations and realities.

  • @AmunRa1 best theory iv come across so far

  • @AmunRa1 There's actually a canon ya know. I used to have it all written down but I lost it. But a cool thing is some/most of your theory is kinda correct.

  • @CptKitKat

    I thought Valve wasn't gonna tell us anything about the G Man until the next Half-Life is released. Meh oh well.

  • @AmunRa1

    Similar to my mine. :-)

  • @AmunRa1 and the unnamed messenger is freeman ? sorry ima lil confused in all that :S

  • @shit4brains222

    We've never actually gotten the G-Man's real name, if he even has a name, it's only the name that fans have given him. He's obviously not working for the government, at least not earth's government, and he's not working for the combine, so there's some force that we have not been introduced to yet.
