>Mr. Friendly[2] is an alien enemy cut from Half-Life. It can be found in the game files.
>Mr. Friendly's model is the size of a small horse. It was to be a crawling creature walking on hoofed legs on its back and spurs on its front, moving in a very awkward, shuffling manner and making a noise resembling "fingernails on a chalkboard".[1][2] It would act as a scavenger that ate the corpses of dead enemies.
>He presented sketches of several very sexual-oriented monsters to him and Gabe Newell, managing director, the kind of material Birdwell did not expect. Among them was "Mr. Friendly" displaying an obvious penis.
>Birdwell was worried that Newell wouldn't approve of this material, but it turned out that was exactly what he was looking for. Newell and Backman then began a discussion about possible psycho-sexual alien behaviors and clinical descriptions of disturbed adolescent sexual fantasies. The sexual themes of some of these enemies were intended to elicit a response from the innate homophobia of 14-year-old boys, a significant portion of the targeted audience for the game.[2]
This wasn't okay, but a giant ballsack on legs was.
Anthony Clark
Here comes the xenophiles everybody take cover.
Josiah Turner
Don't forget the giant tentacles, "head humpers", and so on. HR Giger would be proud.
Caleb Ross
We only get to post outside of /aco/ like once a year please have mercy
Leo Robinson
this enemy was cut from HL2 for some reason
Nathaniel Adams
is the xenomorph going to fuck her? please say yes
Dylan Hernandez
Tons of shit was cut from HL2. You could spend all day reading about the planned content that never made it. Most theorize that they had to rush the game because of the hack/leak. If they ever release HL3 at least they won't have an excuse this time.
Hunter Bailey
I just came back from a SS13 round where someone was reading The Lusty Xenomoph Maid over comms. Is there nowhere that is safe anymore?
Ryan Bell
he was also supposed to be able to knock your glasses off and make your vision blurry but they weren't able to make it happen with goldsrc. I love reading about weird cut content from games. post more.
Ryan Torres
She will do whatever you think she'll do user. It's just a picture.
Doesn't SS13 already have xenomorphs in it? I'm not so sure why you would be surprised by that.
Samuel Powell
I can't see this design working well with the source engine.
Oliver Allen
do you have more?
Kevin Richardson
>Among them was "Mr. Friendly" displaying an obvious penis. Thankfully this garbage was cut. It's design aimed at a prepubescent audience. Just so fucking like Valve to have shit like this in their games. Knowing Valve, they would have been selling penise-hats as micro-transactions on the market.
It's also critically offensive and in bad-taste. It's for edgy teenagers and does not belong in gaming. Period.
Cooper Hall
>tfw looking at all the cool alien concept art >tfw The final game you're mostly just fighting generic looking Military enemies that have been "experimented on" but look like generic humans I don't hate Half-Life 2 like some here, but man if that wasn't the most disappointed thing for me in the game. I wanted some Quake 2 shit damn it.
Nicholas Peterson
There was once a round where xenos took over Science. I was a roboticist trapped in a nest with a ligger who willingly gave herself up to the xenos. Lizards should be gassed.
Levi Morris
Oh yeah, because monsters that are phallic and sexually explicit NEVER work, no?
Robert Gonzalez
>T. The exact 14 year olds Valve was trying to make afraid and uncomfortable
Jaxon Ward
More? No definitely not. Don't have a whole folder of it or anything. No siree bob. Nothing to see here space police.
Jack Gonzalez

Tyler Morgan
Not exactly faithful to the actual design but fuck it, I like it.
Blake Wilson
Why are predators, parasites, etc, okay but not rapists? It is natural in animals, so why not disgusting alien monsters?
Hudson Fisher

Rape is a human exclusive.

This looks like something out of Pathologic

Weren't these dudes going to be child slavers?
Zombine?
Evan Allen
>design a 10/10 body horror enemy >only use it as a glorified prop
Nigga, that's the farthest thing from the truth. Rape is so fucking common in animals, female Ducks have evolved with corckscrew vagina's that are screwed the opposite direction of Duck's male corcscrew penis. This is because they get raped so often, they had to have evolve new vagina's to make rape harder.
Rape is everywhere my man.
Josiah Gomez
Fuck off. Ducks are just pretending. Name five (V) other examples.
Ayden Sanders
Sven co-op server when?
Nolan Roberts
Replayed HL2 recently and I really enjoyed Ravenholm (even if it was quite short).
Thoughts on poison and fast headcrabs?
Jayden Gutierrez
Those things were truly unnerving, frightening even.
Andrew Reyes
It always bothered me how the fast headcrab model had less detail than the other types.
Otters Dolphins Most chimps/monkeys Arachnids Orangutans horses dogs
Angel Morgan
Not really. Those guys are only tough because they were cyborg supersoldiers. Gonomes evolved their toughness.
Logan Allen
>all the writers of half-life and half-life 2 have left valve >if half-life 3 or anything else in the universe ever occurs, it is effectively non-canon
Caleb Watson
I think the vast majority of animal fucking is without consent
Adrian Anderson
>had less detail How so?
Camden Scott
Emus, dolphins, otters, adelie penguins, tree ocelots.
You know what? Fuck it. here's six more. Chimpanzees, water striders, sea lions, scorpion flies, white fronted bee-eaters, snowgeese.
So then why can't I rape someone right now? It's natural. Let me rape people.
Oliver Cox
>including invertebrates when talking about complex sexual behavior
really nigga.wmv
Alexander James
because we have standards user
Gabriel Baker
>>all the writers of half-life and half-life 2 have left valve Not true. Some of them died.
Charles Taylor
Scorpion flies in particular have evolved a special rape claw that exists for the express purpose of keeping the females from escaping while the male rapes them.
So yes, really nigga.wmv
Dominic Ramirez
Humans aren't like animals. He can think critically and have things such as basic empathy, you qt lil' edgelord.
Aiden Mitchell
>valve is hiring corpses
Parker Flores
"rape" isn't a concept to organisms without a brain user, try again
Matthew Gray
Half-Life "canon" has been a mess since forever.
Even Half-Life 1/expansions had some weird moments, before the addition of HL2. By the way, Valve unironically thinks pic related is canon to the Half-Life universe. Don't fight it.
Carson Sullivan
Combine soldiers were originally going to wear camo suits that would blend in with the environment.
It's more noticeable ingame, but they don't have a fully modeled mouth-hole and the texture isn't as detailed as the poison headcrab's.
Mason Ward
They do the same amount of work on HL3 than anyone else, so why not?
Caleb Myers
That would probably have been over the line.
Joseph Ward
who cares if goofy shit is included in the canon, i sure as fuck dont
Aiden Murphy
Well, for example cats and dogs clearly have a concept of consent, at certain times females will go just dick-crazy
Connor Barnes
I'm not cute. I just fucking hate this world, and the human worms feasting on its carcass. My whole life is just cold, bitter hatred — and I always wanted to die violently.
David Perez
It means he'll fuck you in half.
Aaron Jackson
That's stupid.
Isaac Gray
How do you know alien parasites from another dimension have brains? We're talking about sci-fi here. Animals and nature do weird horrible shit, "consciously" or not . Deal with it.
Adam Adams
Shut up. I can't hear you.
Christopher James
>Last Valve game was ages ago >Still no L4D3 announcement >The writing staff is all gone >HL3 never ever and it wouldn't have lived up to the hype anyways >Source 2 used on shitty dota and CS:GO
Kevin Perry
Gabe here. You're wrong.
Noah Murphy
they were going to be street cleaners. basically just burning up all the dead corpses or trash with their flame throwers
Adrian Thompson
What's your name?
James Lee
My name is not important. What's important is what I'm going to do.
Ryder Butler
>Most theorize that they had to rush the game because of the hack/leak. All the playable maps in the leak are basically a rough version of what the retail game ended up being. All the other stuff like maps and enemies from the previous version was already canned and just happened to get leaked too.
Cameron Long
Didn't Gabe say on le reddit that they are still developing single player games? I don't know why everybody complains about the writers leaving. It surely can't be that hard to write the story of a man surviving against an alien invasion.
Ryan Cooper
isnt there only one area in the entire game you actually fight them?
Christian Hill
its only in a scare cutscene near the end of hl2 or ep 1 beginning
Joshua Wright
you don't fight them in hl2 at all. you fight them in the ep1 citadel levels and that's it.
Brayden Williams
Bing-bing-wahoo to you too, my friend. Mature games for mature audience, am I right?
Robert Sullivan
Eli was originally going to be a double agent in the Combine army.
Camden Scott
This Shu'ulathoi telegrabs your GF and sticks his long veiny penis in her face. What do you do?
Blake Baker
Female hyenas have overgrown clitorises that they use to rape the male during mating rites.
Jack Thompson
Nothing. I just hover there and watch cause he's a crazy psyker
Kevin Gutierrez
Because >m-muh morales ;_; In other words, no fucking reason.
Oliver Rodriguez

Gabriel Stewart
So is there any news about Vive 2 or those new controllers they showed? The ones that actually look/feel like hands?
Benjamin Edwards
Honestly the first time I've actually taken in the "language" on its "collar." Huh. And now we'll never know.
Asher Bailey
We were never going to know, idiot. Valve doesn't write like that.
Andrew Hall
You haven't seen anything, are you aware of the planned team fortress half-life crossover that was scrapped? Imagine if that had happened.
Jaxson Gray
And then it FUCKING EXPLODES when they give birth
James Brown
I wish the series had some more throwable weapons, like the snark grenades. Come on, you know having throwable chumtoads and headcrabs would be fun. PS make the penguin canon.
Lincoln Jenkins
Wish they had kept the slams in HL2 single player.
Elijah Wright
>this warehouse section in Half Life Opposing force Black Ops are shitty enough on their own but when I'm surrounded by them on all sides I have no idea what the fuck I'm supposed to do.
Isaac Allen
It still kills me how many weapons were cut from the HL2 beta. The worst of all was how the beta shotgun was the best sounding shotgun since Q2 supershotgun but in retail HL2 they decided to make it sound weak as shit.
youtube.com/watch?v=Ee8Mxsol3gQ there was also an earlier version where your vision flickered between the map you were in and a really fucked up version.
Carter Rivera
did they ever release that mod that put all the cut content back in?
Jaxson Evans
half-life 2's development history is one of the most interesting developer stories in history
