Description
Gonzo still life video essays for the overly romantic

Hey, I'm Penelope. I run a channel where I talk about my successes, failures, introspection, and everything in between and try to extract life lessons and truth from my experiences. I also cover a lot of games, and the intricacies of how they convey the ideas I get out of them. Of course, all art is subjective, so you'll learn as much about myself as you will about the games I cover.

The best place to hit me up is my discord server, I've also got a twitter where I just tweet constantly without much thought, a second channel for shitposts and lore, and a Patreon if you wanna support my work, and get early access to my vids.

You can find the links to all of these below. Thanks for reading!

“yo why he hopping like that”

Considering how dark and hopeless this world seems, it kind of makes those sub 1h speedruns even funnier. While The Combine is throwing the entire force of its hive against Gordon, the guy is just flying through everything and breaking the laws of physics left and right, blowing up the citadel faster than The Combine can even realize what's happening.

This makes GLaDOS seem like a caring mother.

The combine is bad in both ways:

With how much the Combine wants to prevent rebellion, it's surprising that Barney is able to work undercover without being detected immediately.

I once saw someone describe Half-Life as "when you're playing a first person shooter but the antagonist is playing Stellaris."

imagine the amount of families died because of your gameplay

What baffles me is that you made me become horrified of the Combine without even mentioning their inherently alien elements like the Synths or the Advisors themselves...

One of the spookiest parts is that we have never actually seen in cannon what the real intelligent life behind the combine look like.

What interested me about the Combine was how it used trains. You'd expect it to put in some fancy new transport technology but no, the trains work great and the Combine even makes its own rolling stock. It realized that humans had good transport technology and simply took it over and expanded upon where it was needed, and let rot anything that wasn't deemed useful.

Freeman riding the coffin to Breen's office is like a blood clot heading straight for the brain.

The Combine as a whole are perhaps the most Lovecraftian-military faction. The more you look into them the more horrifying it becomes and the more hopeless and insignificant you start to feel.
