Half-Life 2 - 08a - Sandtraps [Hard]

Chapter 8: Sandtraps - Part 1
Freeman finally reaches the end of the coastal road, and has to bid his Scout Car farewell as he continues the remainder of the journey to Nova Prospekt on foot. However, he must first help the Resistance at Lighthouse Point fend off a Combine attack, and then navigate a beach where even the slightest contact with the sand will set off the Antlions.

Notes:
Lambda cache #29 is found at 7:44
The extra battery for the puzzle at 7:50 can also be found under the bathtub at 7:34 and ontop of the windmill at 8:03
The battle at Lighthouse Point is REALLY easy if the player just runs behind the Dropships and kill the soldiers as they jump out one by one. For the sake of recording an entertaining battle I did not do this too much
If Gordon isn't fast enough, Sandy (Laszlo's buddy) will be killed by the Antlions (16:14)
Not touching the sand at all during the Antlion beach segment nets players the achievement "Keep Off the Sand". For the sake of keeping the length of the video concise, I didn't pursue this achievement
Lambda cache #30 is found at 19:57

Trivia:
The Dropship at 6:48 can be seen dropping off the Rollermines that are later encountered at 8:21
The song that plays at 9:56 is called "Something Secret Steers Us", and also played in HL1 when Gordon first acquires the Tau Cannon, under the name "Nuclear Mission Jam"
At 15:09, judging by the gunfire, the appearance of the soldier, and the capture of Gordon's Scout Car, it can be assumed that Lighthouse Point has fallen to the Combine
Laszlo will die regardless of how fast the player kills the Antlions at 16:14
The music stinger that plays at 22:48 also played when Freeman destroyed the Hunter-Chopper at the end of Water Hazard
The Bugbait, acquired at 24:20, seems to illogically come with unlimited ammo, given the fact that Gordon throws many of them without ever having to resupply from a dead Antlion Guard
