half life

by srph • 16 Feb 2009, 17:46 • Journals
i've recently started playing HL, 1,2, and the episodes!
the game kicks ass! (reminds me a lot of LOST, i mean, with all those secrets)

my questions are:
Do you have a theory about G-Man?
Why is the name of the game Half-Life?

(i have an idea which would satisfy both of my questions! imo Gordon is schizophrenic, and G-Man is his 2nd personality! their faces look similar and check out the name: Gordonfreeman.but there are some problems with this theory, i have to think more - for example, Alyx noticed him once aswell)

i'm awaiting your replies!

G-Man = Gordon himself in the Future

yeah, they aren't 100% identical. that's why i suspect him being a split personality. he can't be killed, coz imo he doesn't exist. and he always disappears without any clues, + ppl tend to forget about communicating with him all the time - +2 for not existing.

are you serious?

yeah. probably when Gordon is under 'stasis', it's actually G-Man's personality taking the role in his body!

+ sometimes G-Man can be seen in weird situations, eg in a wooden house in the same clothes all the time \o/. (just check youtube) i doubt he's actually being there!
+ he doesn't ever get old!

:))
i owned both hl1 and hl2 for years bcoz of counter-strike, and i haven't even tried them..... i was bored a week ago and came up with the idea to test hl. i regret that i haven't done it earlier :P
i 100% recommend the game! ;>
(hl2 episode 3 is coming soon which will reveal many of the secrets*, so i think it's perfect time to start beating the game!)


*: it's been confirmed by valve that hl2ep3 is going to finish the hl2 storyline. and there is even possibility that it's gonna be the very last hl game! (i personally doubt it tho)

hint: don't try to finish the game as fast as you can! the strength of hl is the story and the main mission is to discover what's going on and to find out who are causing the situation ;) like i've said, it's like LOST: once you get to find an answer, you get 3 other unanswered questions in stead:))) and perharps the story is going to finish with hl2ep3

Dreadfully repetitive games. Really overrated.

"Eli hints that he knows more about the G-Man when he relates to Gordon that he has more to share, but is interrupted by Alyx. Whatever he knew is left unsaid, however, as he is killed by a Combine Advisor before he has an opportunity to elaborate further."
