Gman isn't his name. Officially he has no name and has never had one. Fans started to call him Gman because his HL1 file was called Gman. Valve never gave him name but instead titled his files as Gman which is slang for Government Man because he looks like one. So the old theory you just brought up has been proven wrong long ago.DeadlyYellow post=9.69016.647232 said:He does bear some resemblances to Freeman. Not to mention the whole G-man can be interpreted many ways. Also, he is my favorite character from the series (half because he sounds like a victim of a stroke.)
G----- ----Man
Gordon Freeman
I also suggest getting the Opposing Forces expansion for HL1. Adrian Shepherd kicks ass.
That assumes he is being payed.gibboss28 post=9.69016.660572 said:He runs a hiring agency..which Freeman and Shepherd are currently employees.
After all Breen did say 'your contract is open to the highest bidder'
I'm sorry, I just wanted to be sure I read right. Favorite character? YOU must have suffered from a stroke. Noone is allowed to like him. He's an asshole. Period. Nobody likes an asshole.DeadlyYellow post=9.69016.647232 said:Also, he is my favorite character from the series (half because he sounds like a victim of a stroke.)
I find he makes the game. He's certainly more of a character than the protagonist, or anyone else in the game.childofbodom post=9.69016.660974 said:I'm sorry, I just wanted to be sure I read right.

Yeah, I've noticed that too. Not like the guy gives Gordon a choice in the matter, though, what with the stasis and all. I used to think the G-man was some servant of the Nihilanth from Half-Life one. He brought the sample material that caused the resonance cascade, after all, which allowed the Nihilanth to send his forces through to Earth. After beating Half-Life 2 and Episode 1 I still thought this as I learned that the Combine invaded and destroyed the Nihilanth's homeworld as well, leaving the one you fight in Xen the supposed last of his kind. It made sense he'd reuse Gordon to fight the combine. After playing Epsisode 2 though, I'm starting to wonder. It almost seems like the G-man's working for some other group who, for whatever reason, seem to have an interest in Earth. I'm also starting to distrust the Vortigaunts. Not sure why. Just hope we finally get some clarity on the matter in Episode 3.Radelaide post=9.69016.647276 said:He always shows up and has some random rant in a creepy voice, implies your sleeping then buggers off.
Maybe Gman is just Anarchemitis...Anarchemitis post=9.69016.651383 said:Worry... not.as Episode Three,......... approac-hes.
In Half Life 1, a pencil, some paper, and a pistol.dooner11 post=9.69016.651014 said:I have 2 questions about the Gman:
What is in his briefcase? (not that noclip explanation)
and
Who are his "employers"?
These questions keep me up at night.
If you don't have anything nice to say, just shut the fuck up. I guess he doesn't have anything nice to say since everyone and everything clearly wants him DEAD.HBrutusH post=9.69016.660983 said:I find he makes the game.

Hmm. I guess people do like assholes sometimes. I mean, look at Gordon and the way he never speaks, that's just rude.
