#like the way the half life alyx vortigaunts are animated is fucking STUNNING

[halo-lll-odst]

whats your favorite half life creature

I LOVE THE ANTLIONS SO MUCH theyre so goofy lookin and i think theyre really cute tbh. their sound effects are so good too they just buzz around and screech a bit. whenever i play nova prospekt i treat them like my children they are so goddamn cute. also i for some reason love the fucked up fact that their back legs are their front ones and their front legs are there back ones? like look at em theyre so funky. whats up with them i love them so

houndeyes are probably a favorite too, i remember i once saw on a video analysis of houndeye behaviour i think it was? that someone's headcanon for them was that they aren't inherently hostile, but they just get so excited and unfortunately the sonic pulses they release as energy hurt the player. theyre just little space dogs and theyre really happy and theyre just so excited :( i wanna hold one also also also probably snarks, though maybe to a lesser degree? i think i moreso like how gordon plays with them as an idle animation in both hl1 and the black mesa remake LOL but theyre still super cute.

stupid round thing i love it so fucking much. handheld idiot.

#hl2 #half life 2 #marrsbarrs talk #antlion #houndeye #snark #ALSO if you count it vortigaunts are a SUPER favorite. i love those guys #the way they speak is so interesting to dissect and i love seeing and interacting with them in game #and the way theyre animated.... ooh #like the way the half life alyx vortigaunts are animated is fucking STUNNING #i love the one scene of the vortigaunt jumping up onto the roof of a combine structure in hla #its so cool to see how they move and walk and just function just RAAAAAH im such a sucker for that shit #and i love their accidental humor so much theyre just like me fr #like ofc theres the brain injury bit from hla but like #if you listen to the vortigaunts speak in the outpost just outside of nova prospekt #theyll stop and say sorry we should not speak this language in front of others who do not obtain that power to do so #then they say unless we want to say mean things about you. just in case. ITS SO FUCKING GOOD #i just love them sosososo much theyre just like me fr theyre infj just like me too.... #i could keep going on but i dont want to just dump a thesis statement on you about how i love half life so i'll stop here LOL
