Hello, Gordon!Have you ever wondered what would happen if Gordon Freeman weren't alone during the events of Half-Life? What if, instead, he were accompanied by a small band of AI-controlled survivors of the Resonance Cascade, and had to shepherd them through the dangers infesting Black Mesa? Now what if those survivors suddenly developed eccentric, frantic, and downright moronic personalities? It turns out, the end of the world becomes a lot sillier.Half-Life VR but the AI is Self-Aware is a roleplay Machinima series by WayneRadioTV and other members of Radio TV Solutions. All episodes are almost pure improv, performed live through the medium of Garry's Mod with minimal scripting and preparation. Wayne takes the role of Gordon Freeman, with his friends playing the roles of his NPC compatriots. The core cast is comprised of Benry, a standoffish security guard obsessed with passports; Tommy, a childlike scientist with a surprising acumen for nuclear engineering; Bubby, a long-suffering particle physicist who brings his problems on himself; and the ever-babbling Dr. Coomer, whose AI appears to be just a bit broken. Only through teamwork will they be able to survive alien invaders and government assassins, if they can go five minutes without killing each other or themselves first!The first Act was streamed onto Wayne's Twitch channel on March 5th, 2020 with the fourth and final Act being streamed on April 9th. Edited versions of the streams were then uploaded to Wayne's YouTube channel between March 13th and April 19th of 2020. More VR but the AI is Self-Aware series have been confirmed to be on the way, although if any of them will be a continuation of the Half-Life story is yet to be known. On November 12th 2021, a streamed playthrough of Half-Life: Alyx on Wayne's stream would seemingly reveal itself as the next part of the series, Half-Life: Alyx but the Gnome is Too Aware.Wayne and the crew would also return to play their characters for their "AI-Crushes-All-Banks" Justice Drive charity stream on May 31st 2020, where the Science Team makes good on their promise to rob a bank in PAYDAY 2 VR.

Conditioned to Accept Horror
 Half-Life but the AI is Self-Aware (Web Video) / int_1b465242
comment
Conditioned to Accept Horror: In Act One, Gordon is horrified by his murdering people, shown through his killing three people through an elevator and being shaken by it. But as the series goes on, he becomes more and more desensitized to murder and traumatized by the horrors around him. While in Act One he killed three people and was clearly shaken and horrified, in Act Four he kills three people on purpose to test the gun arm, and while Darnold, who has been fairly isolated from the events of the Resonance Cascade, is shocked and horrified by this, Gordon isn't.

Act Three: Part Three: The events of the last few episodes have clearly gotten to Gordon's head, putting his Only Sane Man status into serious question. G-Man at one point shows up (and he seems to be a self-aware NPC as well), and at the end of his usual schtick, he reveals that he has a child. And then at the very end of the episode, the skeleton shows up, and it's implied that he's been controlling Benry all along. Oh, and Gordon drinks the soda.

Mythology Gag
 Half-Life but the AI is Self-Aware (Web Video) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: The videos have plenty of references to Wayne's past streams and in-jokes between the members of Radio TV Solutions: Gordon's locker contains a baby photo, which he claims is of his son Joshua. "Joshua" was the name the crew gave to a weird text-to-speech voice they made via a machine learning service, declared to be Wayne's "son" and would torment him with onstream. The reason Dr. Coomer starts reciting the Wikipedia article on chairs in Act 2 is because Holly, who played him, memorised it back in the early 2010s to annoy her friends. It's not the reason why everyone kept namedropping Wikipedia throughout the act (that was because they were joking about the infamous cock and ball torture article prior to the stream), but there was a mutual understanding between them that it was only a matter of time before Holly used it as an excuse to do the chair bit. During Benry's Motive Rant he talks about using "YouTube Yownloader", a typo that has been a long-standing in-joke between the group. In the Act 4 commentary stream they note that Scorpy, who works as a professional video editor, once managed to sneak "youtubeyownloader.bat" into a commercial he did for a major brand. Gordon and the G-Man's debate over whether or not Chuck E. Cheese's is a restaurant is directly based off of a similar debate that Wayne and his friends had during a stream of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. One Wayne admits they included purely for themselves is the clip of Tommy sitting on Vin Diesel's lap like he's a mall Santa during the credits, calling back to an old series of GMod videos Scorpy made for their movie nights in which Vin Diesel would interview various characters via text-to-speech.

"Let's Watch Our Show" Plot: After Tommy's birthday bash, the part 1 commentary starts when the G-Man forces Gordon to accompany him and the science team to watch a movie... which, to Gordon's confusion, is the commentary footage. As usual, no one else questions what they're watching. The openers for the succeeding commentary videos continue building off of part 1's.

Mad Scientist: Black Mesa's projects are all either insanely dangerous, like the Peeper Puppies and the Pita Cutter, or completely nonsensical, like replacing the fluoride in water with blue Powerade. Darnold, in spite of being the most stable member of the cast, is definitely one of these, since he makes regenerative potions that cause Gordon to grow a Hand Cannon that shoots fingernails where his hand used to be.

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Occasionally done by the scientists, less as a joke for the viewers and more for Wayne's benefit. A good example is Bubby saying that the Helicopter Heap "probably wasn't in God's plan", which is Gir trying to get across that it was caused by a freak map glitch that nobody saw coming, without breaking character.

During Benry's Motive Rant he talks about using "YouTube Yownloader", a typo that has been a long-standing in-joke between the group. In the Act 4 commentary stream they note that Scorpy, who works as a professional video editor, once managed to sneak "youtubeyownloader.bat" into a commercial he did for a major brand.

Then we see the skeleton running around, and so disappears the last vestiges of normalacy in Gordon's life. In Act Three: Part Three, Benry can see the skeleton, and it has a passport. If you look closely at it, its name is "You." When the party gets to Xen, Benry is suddenly floating in the air and way bigger than he used to be.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Half-Life but the AI is Self-Aware (Web Video) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: A lot of these were pointed out by the crew in the Act 1 commentary stream. The stream notifications and mediashares were left in the Act 1 highlight videos, since no one was expecting the series to blow up as hard as it did. This leads to a lot of immersion-breaking moments such as Morshu suddenly popping up in the middle of the screen, or a Russian cooking video playing over an otherwise tense scene. Starting with Act 2, Wayne made the notifications smaller and less obtrusive, put strict rules in place as to what could be requested through mediashare, and recorded the audio separately for the highlight videos. During Tommy's first appearance, Gordon is noticeably disturbed by him and calls him a freak. Compare this to the later parts, where Tommy is the only Science Team member he fully trusts and the one he gets exasperated with the least. In Act 1, Gordon claims the baby photo in his locker is of his son, Joshua. This receives a Call-Back near the end of the act, but after that there are no other mentions of Gordon being a father. Gir theorizes that the photo just came with the picture frame and Gordon was too embarrassed to admit he never removed it. During Act 1, Coomer would get Benry's name wrong every time he mentioned him (his actor, Holly, assumed they were doing a Running Gag about nobody remembering his name). From Act 2 onwards, this is no longer an issue. It took until Act 3 before the series implemented a custom model for passports, which meant that before then, everyone was forced to make do with what they had. This led to moments such as Benry calling his Pulse Rifle a "passport" and Gordon trying to present a toolgun as his during Act 1.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: In Act 1: Part 1, as Gordon is sprinting towards the door at around 4:50, you can see a scientist dancing on a ledge on the other side of it. He was put there as a small gag by Holly, and the scientist is given a nod in the Dance Party Ending where some of the cast bust a move in that same awkward pose. At 5:49 in Act 1: Part 2, while Benry is shooting the pigeons, you can see Father Grigori standing in the corridor for a split second. At the end of Act 1: Part 2, after the Science Team gun down the skeleton, you can see a Pikachu holding a crowbar appear behind Dr. Coomer. In the commentary for Act 1 it was revealed that this appearance was their stagehand photobombing them.

Driven to Suicide: Gordon. At several points. In Act 3 Part 2, Gordon, who has been betrayed by his team, lost his arm, and is actively being attacked by one of his friends, yells that he's just gonna kill himself and attempts to swim into razor blades. In Act 4, Gordon says that a portal is probably "a painless way to die" before stepping into it. During a chaotic moment in the boss fight, Gordon yells "Fuck it, just get it over with, kill me please!"

Ambiguous Time Period: Nobody is exactly sure on what year it is. When Gordon asks about it, he thinks it's 1998, Bubby guesses it's "2000-and-something", and Coomer ominously says "2020". Most of the older things mentioned to set the series in the recent past* Heavenly Sword, the HD DVD/Blu-Ray format war, Justin.TV, etc. are from around 2007, but then there's Gordon's favorite game being Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days from 2010. It's probably not worth worrying about.

Mechanical Abomination: The "regenerating helicopter"/Helicopter Heap. It's this out-of-universe too, due to it being a fuckup with the map that infinitely spawned helicopters rather than an intentional creation.

 Half-Life but the AI is Self-Aware (Web Video) / int_82a631b8
comment
Present-Day Past: The series is seemingly set in the late 2000s, with topical mentions of Heavenly Sword, The Irate Gamer, and Justin.tv. This adheres to the original lore of Half-Life, being set in 200X. However, there are a few anachronistic mentions from the year 2010, including Kane And Lynch 2: Dog Days, Despicable Me, and Playstation Plus subscriptions. In one of his bouts of "seriousness", Coomer answers a question of what year they're in with "ᴛᴡᴇɴᴛʏ-ᴛᴡᴇɴᴛʏ".

Super Mode: After gaining a minigun hand, Gordon is told that he can "PRESS ALL BUTTONS TO ACTIVATE DEVIL GUN MODE!" Not knowing what that means, he attempts to clench all of his muscles at once, accomplishing nothing, and is later informed that "IF YOUR BODY IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH, YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO ACTIVATE DEVIL GUN MODE!" He finally manages it upon reaching Xen; the mode temporarily gives his arm a significantly higher rate of fire but requires a cooldown afterwards. In the final battle against Benry, Gordon gives Dr. Coomer all of his Playcoins to activate "Super Player Mode," which causes Coomer to Hulk Out.

Deconstruction: In a roundabout way, the series serves as one for Gameplay and Story Segregation in a coop multiplayer game. The four companions, with their goofy antics, itchy-trigger fingers, and general trolling, wouldn't seem out of place as a random group of friends going for a romp through the game with a handful of cheat codes turned on (which of course is not so far from the truth). Poor Gordon meanwhile, as the Only Sane Man, is stuck inside the fourth wall and treats life-and-death dangers and the loss of human life as Serious Business, and quickly becomes unhinged when he's the only one doing so.

These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know: In the G-Man's final conversation with Gordon, he mentions that knowledge of Benry's origins are on a "need-to-know" basis between the former and his "employers". Gordon, unsprisingly, doesn't need to know, nor does he want to.

Wham Episode
 Half-Life but the AI is Self-Aware (Web Video) / int_8e20979

Wham Episode: Act Three winds up being a whole string of these. Act Three: Part One: Benry and Bubby, who've obviously been plotting behind Gordon's back during the entire episode, trap him in a pitch-black room as HECU soldiers start beating the shit out of him, before ultimately severing his right arm. Dr. Coomer does nothing to stop this because Gordon is out of Playcoins™, and Tommy is the only one genuinely concerned about Gordon. Then he's captured by the military... Act Three: Part two is even crazier. Gordon wakes up missing his arm, traumatized beyond belief, and barely able to function... then he discovers an army of Dr. Coomer clones, revealing that Dr. Coomer is aware he's in a artificial world and that there's a world inside Gordon's dreams. Act Three: Part Three: The events of the last few episodes have clearly gotten to Gordon's head, putting his Only Sane Man status into serious question. G-Man at one point shows up (and he seems to be a self-aware NPC as well), and at the end of his usual schtick, he reveals that he has a child. And then at the very end of the episode, the skeleton shows up, and it's implied that he's been controlling Benry all along. Oh, and Gordon drinks the soda.

Been There, Shaped History: Black Mesa runs Wikipedia, and uses the donations for Wikipedia to provide the budget for the experiments they run. Later, Dr. Coomer claims that Black Mesa also uses Wikipedia to fund the U.S. Military, who they provide with weapons in exchange for being allowed to conduct their deranged experiments. Discussed by Dr. Coomer and Gordon when he asks if Black Mesa invented the nuclear bomb after coming across a missile silo that Coomer claims contains "ᴛʜᴇ ʙɪɢ ᴏɴᴇ".

Foreshadowing: At the end of ACT 3, Benry is suddenly able to see the skeleton and asks for its passport. It shows it to him, and he accepts it. If you examine the passport closely, you can see that the name on it is "YOU". In the finale, the skeleton is revealed to be either Benry's true form or some kind of extension of him. When Gordon first meets Benry, he innocuously crouches down in front of him. This was actually Benry's player, scorpy, planting the seeds for Gordon's supposed dick slip. Also during the first act, Gordon warns Benry not to go into the test chamber, to which the guard responds that it's okay since he's not human. He's right in more ways than one.

In Act 1: Part 1, as Gordon is sprinting towards the door at around 4:50, you can see a scientist dancing on a ledge on the other side of it. He was put there as a small gag by Holly, and the scientist is given a nod in the Dance Party Ending where some of the cast bust a move in that same awkward pose.

Dungeon Bypass: Various parts of Half-Life are skipped through a combination of god mode to bypass obstacles that are meant to kill you, or by having someone trigger map scripts to open doors to before from the other end. Occasionally the group will teleport past segments, or just skip them between videos, either when a mazelike area causes them to become completely lost or if they won't work in VR/multiplayer.

Take That!: By indirect means, in that Forzen is very insistent that The Irate Gamer most definitely did not rip off The Angry Video Game Nerd, yelling that this is not the case multiple times and getting very angry with anyone who disagrees. Gordon is incredulous that Tommy's last name is Coolatta, not only because it sounds ridiculous, but also because he (and by extension, Wayne) hates Coolattas and finds them to be lame, sugary junk.

Shout-Out
 Half-Life but the AI is Self-Aware (Web Video) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: In the commentary streams, Holly mentions that the SuperPlayer Feature was based on the "Super Guide" from Donkey Kong Country Returns, where you can have a white-furred "Super Kong" complete a level for you if you die too many times on it. Super Player Mode Coomer bellows out "TRAIN AND FIGHT, GORDON!" before charging into battle in reference to the popular Tumblr inspirational blog warriormale. When Dr. Coomer activates SuperPlayerMode, it's accompanied by the Super Saiyan power-up sound. Gordon makes a pretty subtle one to this Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff comic in Act 2: Part 2. Tommy's favorite TV show is Invitation to Love. Whenever Bubby says "oh yes" he always says it with the same inflection as Bob Page in the intro to Deus Ex. Gir has confirmed this was intentional, and was a reference to his favourite part of "Deus Ex: The Recut". Coomer gleefully tells Gordon he was "thinking with portals" when he was able to solve the teleportation puzzle on his own. In the middle of Gordon's big break down after Coomer makes his surprise attack, Gordon pleads for Tommy to kill Coomer because "he can't keep getting away with it". In the final act, Tommy wails that "[they're] not in Kansas anymore" when they're up against aliens. "[Gordon] knows how to suck and he does it well" is a Mega64 reference. The time stop effect that heralds and shows out the G-Man is intentionally based off of The World's time freeze effect as shown in the David Production adaptation. Gordon's gatling arm shooting out fingernails is an intentional reference to Steel Ball Run, as its protagonist Johnny Joestar uses his fingernails as a weapon in conjunction with his Stand Tusk. The G-Man decides to surprise Tommy with poorly-made mascots of Despicable Me's Minions during the birthday party. Benry excitedly cheering out "Road Trip!" during the car sequence recalls similar phrasing from the Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! skit of the same name. In the commentary, Holly says "I know people who use subtext and they're all cowards." "I can do anything I want, but I choose to rotate!" references the webcomic Super Mega, but the line is changed from "to oscillate". The enthusiastic "We have to JUMP!" Bubby says in Coomer's passport room on Xen is an unintentional one to Dangeresque.

Dr. Coomer does nothing to stop this because Gordon is out of Playcoins™, and Tommy is the only one genuinely concerned about Gordon. Then he's captured by the military...

Red Herring: In one of the G-Man's first appearances, he requests that Gordon take care of his "progeny". Initially, one might assume the G-Man is referring to Benry from his similarly supernatural powers and intentionally similar speech fonts (in the edited releases), but he's actually talking about Tommy.

Blue-and-Orange Morality
 Half-Life but the AI is Self-Aware (Web Video) / int_e8e56799
comment
Blue-and-Orange Morality: Benry and the Science Team, sans Gordon and, to a lesser extent than Gordon, Tommy. They are more than comfortable with murdering other scientists and each other based on the smallest of whims, yet chastise Gordon for vandalism and for not saving scientists they killed, amongst other things. Benry in particular has no qualms with killing every NPC they happen upon or luring Gordon to the HECU and instructing them to cut off his arm, but is deeply offended by Gordon's lack of a passport and seems to consider it more important than anything else. In Tommy's case, while he is the most "human" of the three and generally reacts to situations as a normal person would (such as when he begins panicking and freaking out as Gordon's arm is forcibly cut off), he is seen on more than one occasion participating in the random violence (more often against other Science Team members than others, though). In addition, although he is shown to be very caring toward Gordon in particular, he has no qualms threatening him with a gun when Gordon suggests that he cut down on the soda (though given Tommy's lack of knowledge on firearm safety and Reckless Gun Usage, it's possible this wasn't actually a threat).

Darkest Hour: The party is trapped in a hopeless fight with Benry on Xen, though they destroyed their own passports. Bubby uses a gun he found in Darnold's lab that sends Gordon back in time to before the Resonance Cascade test, where the giant Benry still chases him down. He goes and destroys his passport, but needs to go back to Xen. So he begs a pre-sentience Dr. Coomer to let him give him his Playcoins to him, begs him to remember anything, as Benry slowly closes in.

comment
