Danny O'Dwyer's Half-life Half-Marathon

I watched the whole thing anyway...till 8 am.

The dance-offs:

(I hope someone archives these)

The stream yesterday was absolutely fantastic. Jumping onto the GB chat wasn't even necessary when it became available. The twitch chat was surprisingly entirely civil for the majority of the thing.

indeed it was! remarkably so. Although there was a small group of people who seemed to despise GB and GB mods, which I did not really get but hey you cant win em all ;)

That is a fantastic gif.

I look forward to more of this insanity tonight. I have two bottles of wine and 40 cigarettes. Danny better be streaming or else I will be even more technically drinking alone.

Looking forward to more Half life streamin later today!

@themanwithnoplan: Any idea when he's streaming today?

@finaldasa: Danny has to work a normal shift today apparently, so probably the stream will start roughly around 8pm(ET)/5pm(PT)

More? OH BOY! How far did they get in the first one, i stopped watching at the start of blue shift, because... blue shift.

They remained civil even though there was a lady on the stream, yay internet!

I assuming sometime after his normal work shift, judging from his earlier tweet.

Well, they stopped after completing Blue shift. Danny said he plans on playing the rest of the Half life line up (Hl 2, ep 1 and 2) later today.

Kinda sad he didn't play Uplink.

What is he going to play now? HL2, Ep1, and Ep2? He beat HL1 and said "Just 6 more" but the only thing I can think of is either Lost Coast or HL coop missions from ps2

Any chance this will be archived?

Edit: Found them, sorry I wasted your time internet.

Hours 1-2

Hours 2-7

Hours 7-11

Hours 11-13

I really wanted to make some art for them but alas I run out of time!

It's back!

Its back on, Over here!

Donate, Over here!

Half life! Wooooooo

The video is playing at a rapid FPS, it is really screwing with me. It seems unnatural and is giving me a headache with how fast his mouse flicks go.

Also I'm pretty confident the game is running at a faster speed. Story sequences are flying by with less pacing, it is really awkward.

Fake Drew: "Remember when the first rotisserie chicken started coming out?"

I stepped away for five minutes and now amazing things are happening.

Edit: The sad thing is large amounts of this stream will now be muted thanks to the licensed music they're playing. :(

Sorry, I can't help it

I love Half Life.

They're calling people and making poop noises into the phone best stream ever.

Man, this latter bit of the charity stream turned to shit. Get it? Cause of all the poop talk. jk :)

Let's get this trending, ya?

What is love

Damn, I missed most of today's stream and I'm not looking forward to seeing 50% of it muted.

I would say yesterday's stream was crazier but today did not fall short of being awesome and full of nonsense. I think tomorrow will be HL2: Ep 1 if Danny is continuing.

EDIT: of course as soon as I post this he confirms.

Sounds like Day 3 is happening soon.

@dannyodwyer I wanted to keep watching but had to stop because the mic blowing out was so bad, please get a proper microphone Danny!

Day 3, what? MADNESS!

Not sure this going to happen. Looks like Twitch is being DDos'd at the moment.

competing streams danny vs patrick.

Yeah, I wouldn't count on having a HL stream tonight. Damn Lizards DDoSing Twitch and Battle.net again. At least we have the memories....

Hopefully we'll have some HL2 Ep1/2 tomorrow when Twitch has recovered from any attack/issues.

Have been some great streams these last two evenings.

That really sucks twitch got DDos'd. Hopefully stuff gets back to normal soon.

Why'd this have to happen after I've been off from work for four days? Godamnit. Hopefully I'll get to watch those archives before they go poof at least...

I really hope somebody archives these streams on Youtube. I've looked into it, but I'm not entirely confident my internet could handle it.

Might very well be the last time we see someone eat an entire crab during a video game live stream.

Day 3 is streaming live: http://www.twitch.tv/dannyodwyer

@dannyodwyer Nicely done, Danny...

I remember really liking Opposing Force, but it has been years since I played it myself. Blue Shift, though, that was a fucking disappointment. Sure, it was "only" half the price of a normal retail game back then, but it didn't introduce any new weapons or enemies, with Rosenberg's "hi-res" character model being the highlight. On the top of that, I finished the whole thing during the same day I bought it. Like I had bought a fan-made mod, guh.

...though Gunman Chronicles might still take the cake on the topic of priced mods...

When Danny was making jokes about all of KISS having their way with Mary's mom I was thinking "man Danny is doing some RISKY jokes" then Mary takes it to another level by saying "yah she got some backstage passes, to some dick" like goddamn Mary doesn't play around.

"Some of my best friends are moms!" haha

@oldguy: On the Divinity thing, you can assign characters to players in a game freely through the ESC menu.

@dannyodwyer and these wonderful streams kind of made me fall asleep at work for half of the week (because of stupid time zones), but it was all worth it. Fun seeing some more Gamespot people too and Alexis of course.

@wardancer: Spiffy! We'll have to try that, thanks!
