hl2_osx has stopped working. is a project in the remix tree, and the fifteenth in the main branch.

Summary

In a glitchy subway, G-Man dabs, distorting the background. He asks the player character, Corporal Shephard, who ate all the donuts. A portal appears. When Corporal Shephard enters, he is driving a flying bus across a distorted world with Pico and some dancers in the background, and turtlehat tells him to touch the 2-3-1 buttons. The buttons have a secondary number over them, making them harder to identify. Once he solves the task, he is greeted with a distorted version of ZiqwerkelSharda singing Despacito.

Trivia

  • The Instructions and Notes and Credits reference lines from Half-Life (1998)[1] and Half-Life 2: Episode Two (2007)[2], respectively.
  • The black-and-magenta checkerboard patterns drawn over many costumes are an homage to the default texture the Source game engine draws when it cannot locate a texture file.[3]
  • The costumes G-Man uses while talking are homages to other famous poses.
    • "talk2" is based on a pose Jonathan Joestar is well-known for.[4]
      • This is also referenced by SL's pose in the "cooler doods" backdrop, which is drawn with "ゴ" characters used commonly in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure as onomatopoeia to convey a menacing atmosphere.
    • "talk3" is a reference pose, a pose commonly used for making 3D models of humanoid characters.[5]
    • "talk1" isn't a reference, it's just G-Man flailing his arms in a silly manner.
  • The bus has the message "Node Graph Out of Date. Rebuilding..." written on it. This is an error message that appears in Source engine games.[6]
  • The text shown in the costumes of the sprite "oof1" have multiple references in them.
    • The main body of the text reads, "Unreal Engine contains an extremely powerful and robust particle system, allowing artists to create mind-blowing visual effects ranging from smoke, sparks, and fire to far more intricate and otherworldly examples." This is a blurb written for the Cascade particle system available in Unreal Engine 4, which turtlehat found funny for some reason.[7]
    • The characters highlighted in magenta in "costume2" through "costume5" spell out "According to all known laws of aviation," the first few words of the Bee Movie script.[8]
    • The characters highlighted in magenta in "costume7" spell out "oraoraoraoraoraoraora," a battle cry used by Jotaro Kujo and Star Platinum.
  • The background "brick wall2" from the previous project has been renamed "duck walk2," a reference to an infamous line from the 1993 game Link: The Faces of Evil.

I never thought I'd ever see a resonance cascade, let alone create one...
