The mystery of the Half Life babies.

Original post here!

Info under the cut !!

I got a lot of comments on my last post about old half life advertisements asking what the hell is up with the three separate posters including scary babies and children with lambda symbols burned into their eyes. I didn't really think much of it at first but in hindsight, yeah, that is really weird.

I decided if I wanted to keep my self-made title of "Black Mesa's Historian" I should go digging.

After searching and searching I've found...... nothing.

Old reddit threads and forums theorize it's supposed to represent the Nihilanth, the only baby-like creature in the game (ignoring the photo in Gordon's locker.)

In the Half Life 2 book Raising The Bar, Gabe Newell states the Nihilanth's design was heavily influenced "by the horror aspects of pregnancy and childbirth, to which Valve turned after being inspired by the birth of Gray Newell, Gabe Newell's son."

The Nihilanth's wiki entry.

BUT this doesn't really answer much. Because these ads were NOT made by Valve. They were made by Sierra, a European publishing company responsible for publishing the Half Life series. After going through their games history I've discovered a crucial detail.

They had no idea how to advertise this game.

Police Quest (1987), Leisure Suit Larry (1987), Quest for Glory (1989)

You see, these were the games Sierra was making. 2d point and click adventures. How they somehow managed to get their hands on Half Life is beyond me, and for another post.

All I can assume is Sierra didn't know how to advertise this 3D survival horror FPS made by rowdy Americans to their European audience.

Postal (1997), Resident Evil (1996), Doom (1995)

Remember, this was the 90s. Gaming was the next big hobby for boys. Advertising wasn't meant to show you gameplay, characters, and story. It was meant to be rough, scary, gorey, and awesome. Sierra probably took inspiration from the dozens of other dark shooters around at the time and based their campaign around that. Why they picked babies with evil eyes.. I don't know.

In the end, we may never know the true thought process behind the evil Half Life babies, it doesn't stop me from trying though.

sell me on yiffos without using the letter E or barking

can i howl? a brain such as my own can fail to find words to fit into such a tricky condition

yiffos is a fantastic option for a distribution wholly faithful to maintaining an outward front of yiff consumption to any body looking on you with a suspicion that you, in fact, do not look at yiff on a daily basis. Running with it as an addition to your basic input/output program is as if you stay, constantly, grasping at and analyzing striking and artistic possibly pornographic crafts of all forms of anthropomorphic animals. you will find your body and mind in a vast and rich world of humanistic dogs, rats, big cats or six-foot-two bats, all of which may sport a lack of pants or bras, or both.

Anything contrary to this goal is simply a way to show off your prodigality to a passing of any particular occasion. Pragmatically, if you do no carry a wish to display a proclivity of yiff consumption to a fault is not your plan, as shown with your indication that i cannot bark, why study this distribution's utility? run along, scallywag! you will not find dissipation in your goal to troll an old and graying wolf-dog such as I! my distribution is archaic, its programs carry a proclivity for fucky, fatal flaws for a notion of unassailability typically sought from such a critical part of such a combination of silicon and algorithm such as that which is a driving topic of this ask.

anyway: awooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Just had a great idea for a Love-Bullet fanfic Koharu’s wings get messed up during an attempted matchmaking outing and the others clean and preen them for her and like that’s how cupids bond

Chat did I cook

[trypo-p]

My artstyle lately has been very iffy and I COMPLETELY forgot how to draw for the past few months- And then all of a sudden today I COOKED THIS?? HELLO? I did NOT know I was capable of doing this. I think I just found my new favourite artstyle.

I spent a solid hour analyzing the artstyle of Hi-Fi RUSH and Pop Art and came up with this. Obviously tons of reference from the in-game art, but I DEFINITELY COOKED SOMETHING HERE! NEVER BEEN PROUD OF MY ART THIS MUCH WHAT
