I feel robbed that we will never have anything like this in HL2RP, City, Outlands or otherwise. Its the same feeling I had when I watched his ANTI-CITIZEN animation but several times stronger.

So, can we just use this guys videos as... LORE Accurate? and start adding shit like this? Models, OTA Types good GOD I've never seen anything this brilliant and it's always a treat.

You're telling me not one unit went rogue and competed in the race with the APC?

not yet, race is on Sunday if there are no delays inshallah

if a cop wants to participate they are more than welcome

they will surely be reprimanded on return to their base but that’s their cross to bare

Reprimanded unless they win.
Promotion to RL if they embarrass rebels with their pro driving skills.

I love anything Half-Life related and anything TPG makes, but in retrospect I really, really wish I would have known just how viscerally violent this video was going to be because the sheer amount of shock that I am still processing is reminiscent of a time when someone maliciously sent me a video that spontaneously cut to (TW: suicide) the guy on Twitch blowing his head off with a shotgun on livestream. It makes me wish I never watched it in the first place.

It makes it really hard to give this the appreciation I think it ought to deserve just because of how unironically triggering it was to watch.

I'm sure some unfunny cunt is going to point and laugh at me for being easily unsettled but I am genuinely not this easily disturbed & the warning in the video was far too ambiguous to be servicable. Not that TPG could really do anything other than like, maybe be a bit more hands-on w/ cutting between shots and limiting the exposure, but I guess I just needed a place to vent about this because damn that video fucked me up.

it wouldn’t surprise me if the entire race comes to a stop five seconds in because the front runner crashed going up the bridge and causes a pileup

To be honest, I've had people who've watched some really fucked up shit feeling queasy after the impassionate slaughter that the Rebels are on the receiving end of. Its quite a jump from the usual one or two shot kills or background framing TPG used up until now. I'm almost certain this was done to represent a narrative escalation combined with how eerie the building that the animation is set in is. The Resistance members react with just as much shock as the audience is expected to minus the one guy whose taken on Overwatch before.

I'm sure most his other animations will be far more reserved with the gore than this one now that the escalation is clear, combined with other people who have criticised just how unrelenting it is with the violence.

Nah to be fair Anti-Citizens had one of the most brutal gunfight sequences I've ever seen, his direction style is similar to Craig Zahler in that sense, people just get FUCKED UP out of the blue, kino.

we did, this is almost shot for shot a drug-bust event that @Blue Wolf did and i helped out with including the antsy music and the bit in the APC. just no alien guy on a counter

Honestly, I'm actually glad we'll never have anything like PATIENT ZERO or any of the other short films replicated in the context of RP simply because I think it sets a bar that is far too high to be anything close to what you see on YT.

What you invariably end up with is something that's a third as good, muddy, and usually a let-down. Its the same thing I felt happened when Lewis made his poses, made clear "these will never work for the basis of any kind of RP" in a post and then everyone jumped on the ideas so hard we got flooded with suggestions related to them for like two years afterwards.

Like to boil that short down; what exactly would that be in an RP situation? Three cops dying to a hidden mine then three rebels being slaughtered by a powergaming OTA? Because that's what you'd have.

That short was incredible though, genuinely a step above the others.

What poses? Do you have them still?

Nah sadly not, but plenty of people probably do.

its a more realistic interpretation of how much damage getting shot actually does to your body

all things considered the video was actually relatively mild in relation to the amount of gore and damage a shotgun does to a head among other things

What poses? Do you have them still?

stuff mostly relating to civil protection operating more like a normal police department with the dispatchers being CPs as well

I think probably the coolest thing for me about these shorts (and HL2 as a whole tbh) is that its not "a resistance fighting aliens" where people are mowing down outer-space horrors on the daily.

Its a resistance killing (sometimes modified) collaborators. Its pretty much a zero-sum cost for The Combine. Its probably the most bleak part for me.

 

[FreeSpy]

The brutality of TPG's shorts is absolutely insane and it is something we have never seen, nor will we see again from anyone else

I understand the feelings of people who don't like such brutality and have a trigger to it, and i fully understand it, but man, I can say I have seen some graphic stuff, and this makes me feel the exact same way.

You, as a rebel, in a realistic scenario are an actual underdog - You will die if you are not careful, and it shows that they planned for the ambush on them with the mine, but did not expect the Spikewall to be there, and because of such most died. It's extremely brutal, and it is as close as we will get to a real life type depiction of an engagement. I love it, because it makes me queasy and it makes me cringe.

It's why I loved All Quiet on the Western Front. It made you feel like shit seeing people die like that, and it was the intended message - That war is brutal. Here it is simply: Resisting comes with a heavy risk, yet there's people that do it. They will be brutally murdered, they know it, and yet they fight for freedom

Man after watching that all I have to think is how do cops and OTA even remotely understand what one are saying to another
