# Half-Life: Full Life Consequences Half-Life: Full Life Consequences is a broken-English Half-Life fan fiction posted to Fanfiction.net in May 2006 by user squirrelking. The typo-riddled tale of John Freeman avenging his brother Gordon went internet-famous through a Garry's Mod machinima by YouTuber Djy1991, spawning years of dramatic readings and the enduring line 'the wepon that killed my brother.' ## Origin User squirrelking posted 'Halflife: Full Life Consequences' to Fanfiction.net on May 18, 2006, one of several game fanfics by the same author alongside 'Metal Gear Solid: Fight of Metal Gears' and 'Halo: Halos in Space' [2]. On the same day, YTMND user blind51de screenshotted the manuscript and dubbed a dramatic reading over it; the page pulled over 130,000 views by 2012 [3]. - **Platform:** Fanfiction.net (source) / YouTube (viral spread) - **Creator:** squirrelking - **Date:** 2006 ## Overview The fic follows John Freeman, brother of Half-Life protagonist Gordon Freeman, riding his motorcycle to hunt down Combine 'aliens' [2]. Its appeal is entirely in squirrelking's mangled English: the author identifies as an ESL speaker and cranks out fanfics packed with typos, missing spaces and cracked grammar [5]. Specific misspellings like 'wepon' and half-sentence phrases like 'what has to be done' get quoted in near-liturgical fashion by every later remixer. The meme actually lives in the audio and video adaptations, not the raw text. Blind51de's dramatic reading set the tone by voicing every line, typos included, in an over-serious action-movie register [3]. Djy1991's Garry's Mod machinima then locked in the visual language of stiff Source engine models re-enacting the fic scene by scene, and every subsequent parody borrows that pairing [1]. ## How It Spread Through early 2007, Newgrounds animator Vegeta897 uploaded a run of Flash cartoons based on the story, with user Snesman64 adding another rendition on February 24, 2007 [4]. Halflife2.net forum users passed the animations around, but the fic was still a niche fandom joke [7]. Djy1991's Garry's Mod version dropped on January 23, 2008 and reused blind51de's narration wholesale [1]. Within weeks the clip crossed over to 4chan and gaming outlets like Joystiq and GameFront [6]. Djy1991 followed with 'Full Life Consequences 2: WhatHasTobeDone' in February 2008, narrated by Cannon590A. Squirrelking returned in February 2009 with a third chapter, 'Halflife: Hero Beggining,' which Djy1991 adapted that March using a reading by Dwarfio, and capped the saga with 'Halflife: Fulllife Consequences: Free Man' later that year [5]. Furry musician Renard's 'Furries in a Blender' remix (October 8, 2008) welded the 'wepon' line to a hard-electronic beat and pushed the meme into YouTube Poop rotation. ## How to Use People typically quote or subtitle the meme by transcribing dialogue exactly as squirrelking mistyped it, keeping the missing spaces and the misspelled 'wepon' intact. Correcting the grammar kills the joke, so faithful reproduction is the whole point. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Half-Life: Full Life Consequences?
