Super Replay – Half-Life

Earlier this year, we held a tournament that would determine our next Super Replay. Eight Game Informer editors chose a game to fight for, and I landed on the original Half-Life. I beat Ben Reeves in the finals, and earned the right to play through the entirety of this classic for the first time on Super Replay.

Watch below as we step into the shoes of Gordon Freeman during our first Super Replay of a PC game.

  • Dan is great. His action-man techniques are very entertaining. In my opinion he's doing very well playing this classic and keeping folks with a sense of goofball humor amused at the same time. Please let him do more replays.
  • The only thing I have to say about this is, THANK YOU FOR KILLING THAT CELERY THING. I have been stuck on that and now, you have avenged those painful hours of getting migraines.

  • oh crap.... the thing you took a screenshot of made me think of the human centipede.

  • I feel the need to advocate: please do the Claire B scenario for RE 2 and please do an RPG soon: FF 4, FF 6, maybe Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete?

  • Dan it is incomprehensible how bad you are at this game. Reiner you should assign him the worst possible reviews for the rest of his miserable existence as punishment.
  • A disturbing lack of crotch-chopping going on in episode 5. Valve programmed it in there for a reason! For Dan to annoy people! At least he figured out that having another gun with you is a good thing. Almond shavings and Tony Robbins books? Drum circles, the Secret, and Oprah? Is that the secret to becoming the go-to Replay guy? It does amaze me too how many people complain about the replay - it's not supposed to be perfect or without Dan's juvenile humor, that's what makes it awesome ^^.
  • The game was released in 98, not 96. Great Super replay, though. Dan is fantastical.
  • I am having so much fun watching Dan play this game. Everything he does is gold. Although I wish episode 5 had more of Dan attacking corpses with his crowbar.

  • That'd be crazy if for the last episode it was a live stream.

  • Bring on the Half Life episode 5!

  • "Jason, beep this: [censored]."

  • How many times are you going to keep saying it was released in '96 when it was released in 1998???

  • i think dan is doing as good of job as an host for entertainment can do. he should do more super replays. AND more crotch-chopping!!!
  • No issues with the crotch chooping here. I can appreciate some childish humor.

  • Dan I suggest that you at least indulge in some of your need to make bodies explode by hitting them in the crotch, not every one though. Also to the guys who are mad at Dan for the way he plays, gain a since of humor. If you want a nostalgia trip go play the game for yourself. Dan is the best
  • Im enjoying this very much :D

  • Liking the super replays guys! Would luv some Bizarre detective though!

  • This is the first time i have ever played a super replay game before watching it and watching them struggle is truly hell
  • Dan don't listen to the humorless masses, I have the same twitch which makes it more hilarious when they explode. Keep up the crotch chopping!
