I mean he did technically ruin the world by pushing the crystal

> be happy because of all these HL threads popping up for the first time in forever
> be sad because of end of HL

As a low-level employee on instruction from his superiors who knew it was dangerous.

You wouldn't blame the gun for shooting someone, you blame the person holding it. It's not Gordon's fault.

No. He was just the right man in the wrong place.

>perform an experiment with a low chance to fuck up the entire world
You guys realize this has happened in the past/is happening right now, right?

Continuing your analogy gets a little funny. Though not arguing. But yeah we make law restricting Gordons instead of improving science.

except that it's not
>muh CERN

this. ethics dont seem to be found in the half life universe

The atomic bomb was created with the mindset of humans controlling devices that can wipe out a population in a flash. It's fair to say that they have been an exceptional deterrent for war, but the possibility is always at arms reach once the wrong person makes the wrong move.

They could find someone else to do it tho.

>awake for nearly 40 hours during the Black Mesa disaster

That's enough suffering as it is.

Gordon.... had a hard life

>retards interpreting epistle 3 as the end of half life
It was only Marc''s departure, which is why it ends on a clean slate for the series's next writer

He was probably on pure adrenaline the entire time, not as bad as you'd think

cool 90's ponytail gordon > short hair gordon

>He actually thinks half life is continuing
I dont think youd accept it even if gaben put it in writing and shoved it up your ass

But it is the end of it as we know.
Like you said, if there is ever a new half life, it will likely be a new writer, on a new story. Perhaps even a new protagonist.

At that point, it will only be Half Life in name. Half Life, as we know, as we grew up with, is as good as dead except for fan-made games, which are always either really good or really bad. And that is when they manage to jump the corporate hoops and don't get hit with a cease and desist.

Technically Half Life was only about 2 weeks of Gordon's life.

That is even worse. Dude couldn't sleep, couldn't relax, one problem after another. One crisis after another.
Imagine the stress, the rush, the exhaustion. Didn't he spend like 2 days in Black Mesa during Half Life 1?

>Dude couldn't sleep
I think he sleep a while when the special ninja forces capture him and throw him on that industrial waste compresor machine.

More like passed out, but yeah.

>This announcement system now under military command

Yeah but how long did he sleep for after Gman put him in limbo? That's gotta be a nice fucking sleep

Are you sure that wasn't just a Freeman's Mind thing?

He deserves to suffer for that horrible hair

I thought he wore glasses in-game? Wha

>reminder that a lot of Half-Life fans have died
We've been a long time waiting, haven't we?

No, I'm sure that was part of the vanilla game.

>Forget about freeman!

what the fuck asshole

The suit probably pumped amphetamines into him or something

I wish I were as optimistic as you. And they'd still manage to make it shit if that was the case.

How comes Gordon never wore glasses ingame?

>only
Yeah, only the main writer responsible for making it the way we knew it this whole time. Even if two writers get the exact same instruction and the exact same rules for a scenario, they will do it differently.

HL is over.

He turned into a Chad that day

GoldSRC didn't have a good way of rendering glasses frames

Giving gordon glasses would have obstructed his eyes too much

i always thought he had his helmet on

it pumped morphine. that would make you drowsy.

it pumped morphine when he was in pain

His suit shot him up with morphine to counter act the pain of being shot, burned, frozen, cut, blown up, blunted, etc

Depending on how much damage you took in half-life, your gordon freeman might be an insane morphine addict

well he did take a short nap while he was captured

>getting fucking knocked out and thrown into a trash crusher counts as a nap to Gordon
M A D M A N

He took them off so they wouldn't break in the test chamburrr.

R.I.P Kitty

Where the fuck is a dyon sphere?

>Next writer
Even if they got a new writer and released it, it wouldn't be the real thing.

He probably took a nap after he pushed the crystal and doomed the Earth too.

its a structure built around a star to capture all of its energy

i think

Space

Right sure, Valve will totally put the time, effort and money into a single player game when they can just fart out some cosmetics for DOTA or TF2 and rake in 3 times the amount of money with hardly any cost.

HL3 for sure :)

that's crazy!

Earth was doomed the moment Gman arrived to earth.

why didn't gordon just shoot the gman

I had to search for it
youtube.com/watch?v=ecNxQKMshJY

Why did they even need a human to push that crystal? I mean they are a high-tech, government funded facility with sci-fi tech, yet they needed a dude in a suit to manually push a crystal into a beam? That sounds stupid.

They money is never going where it needs to go. There was large sections of the facility flooded with radioactive waste.

>It was only Marc''s departure
It's end of Half Life alright, then.

HL1 Gordon looked fucking hardcore

He HAS to have a helmet, right?
>zoom function
>walk into chamber bathed in radiation "because you have the hazard suit"

>implying G-Man isn't a spook working for the Cia the whole time

Go to sleep, Terry.

He was probably there to do more than just push the crystal, but the second it touched the beam everything went to shit

You can shoot the G-Man in game though. It does nothing.

Just waiting for the source mod EP 3 to come out in 5 years

This. Imagine it from Gordons point of view.
Literally fight monsters and soldiers alike for 2 straight days, finally defeat the final boss, step into green light and BAM, you're in a city 17 where you're ALSO fucking awake for days.

This an-n-n-oucMENT
SYSTEM
NOW
UNDER
MILITARY
COMMAND

Is it proven that being put into stasis is instantaneous and time skipping for Gordon? Though I'm not saying it would be real-time otherwise.

I imagine the helmet is something like the helmet from Dead Space 2. It manifests when you need it and dissapears when you interact with people.

How did he lose his suit between 1 and 2? I'm assuming Gman took it and gave it to Kleiner.

Oh Yeah?

>AKA, the combine are getting close to discovering the secret shadow government hiding just under their noses
The governments of the world purposely threw the 7 hour war and have been acting in secret throughout Half Life 2. They are more powerful then they let on and this is why Earth has developed technology even the combine do not have yet. They operate in secret and after the combine got a whiff of them, they lured them to Earth to feign their own deaths. Gordon arrives back on Earth after the US has gained enough power to remote detonate dyson spheres or some shit and is about to seize galactic power from the hands of the combine.

he probably just made another suit

It's stasis user, he literally freezes Gordon in time.

Also don't forget the Manhattan Project ran into the possibility of a nuclear device simply incinerating the entire Earth's atmosphere

That user's right. G-Man somehow arranged it so that the Resistance finds the suit. Kleiner just upgraded it.

ehhh

There are more than one HEV suit at Black Mesa
Klenier or his team probably took one of them

>yfw at the end of HL3 humans steal the combine's dyson sphere

WE

Which was a planned event and he wasn't even the first scientist to breach Xen. It's amazing how most people just play the first few levels.

Ivan the Space Biker > Gordon "Phd on being a fucking nerd" Freeman

>He says this right in front of a dead soldier and destroyed military vehicles in Xen of all places, despite the military never going there
I saw an explanation once that it's supposed to be Earth, but engine limitations only allowed for one skybox.

If I ever turn into a Steven Hawking, I want my little electric voice box to have the Vox voice set in it.

They literally refer to it as "Gordon's old suit" and say they upgraded it. Also G-Man tells you he'll let you keep the suit since you've earned it.
The only reason he doesn't give it to you straight from the beginning is that you'd be fucking suspicious.

Gordon is a nerd on purpose.
Valve thought it'll be more interesting than playing as another alpha chad 80's-90's protagonist.

Doom Guy vs. Freeman

All weapons out, no mercy. Who wins?

doom guy

ez

They wouldn't fight in the first place. Doomguy only kills the demons and Gordon is a bona fide good guy. They'd team up more than likely and kill aliens and demons all across time and space together. One silent, the other howling in rage for eternity. Doomguy would win in a fistfight though.
