How would he manage in 40K setting? I have a feeling he would consider Imperium to be too retarded to side with.

They did one experiment that went horribly wrong, otherwise they developed plenty of neat toys for the military, even even explored an alien realm to a small degree. Honestly f the Military hadn't shown up when they did and decided to go full potato things might've gone smoother.

Mr. Cave Johnson, stop being mad that we are successful and you are not and stop blaming us that your bathroom appliances company went to shit, because you thought handing over all-access to the AI was a good idea.
Regards,
Black Mesa.
>>48174633
This coming from the company that LITERALLY DOOMED MANKIND. At least Cave's fuck up was contained.
He wouldn't give a shit. He'll just keep running towards the nearest teleporter, believing it'll return him home. He'll just crowbar the nearest moving being and be on his merry way.

Wasn't the whole thing a result of intentional sabotage?

Was it? Honestly don't remember at this point.

>>48174809
Gordon's got good eyesight right? If not, he might mistake those Guardsmen for HECU grunts..
>>48174846
It was.
The sample that Breen pushed so hard to have used, the one that caused the cascade, was deliberately provided by the G Man for unknown reasons.
>>48174590
Things would have worked out more or less the same, actually. Gordon would have still gone through to Xen and killed the giant baby, leaving the G-Man's employers to take over the place, and Combine still would have shown up and raped earth.
>>48174874
>hurr does the guy wearing glasses have a good eyesight xD?
>>48174918
>Implying those glasses are prescription
>>48174874
He's got like 20/2 vision and the glasses might be for show. Beyond that if his mission is protect the humans and kill the tyranids that's what he's programmed to do. If he's programmed just to kill the tyranids he'll brain all the guardsmen in a square mile if they get in his way.
>>48174899
>unknown reasons
It was so he could sell Gordan as the solution. Interdimensional interests say the cascade coming due to a non-linear view of time and needed a way to reduce the damage. Lo and behold, the G Man has JUST the solution needed and he had it on hand just in case you wanted it, how convenient.
>>48174918
It's to match the lab coat look at Black Mesa. Gotta be science fashion Chic to work at Black Mesa.
>>48174928
Chances are it's the latter. Officials will probably be just like "Oh those Guardsmen were probably heretics that's why that saint killed them"
>>48174918
>hurr all glasses are for good eyesight lol every building has bad eyesight xDD
>>48174590
>They did one experiment that went horribly wrong
And the whole disaster that doomed the planet could have been avoided, if not for their neglegence.
>>48174871
Wonder what the G-Man'd look like to Eldars. And what he'd carry instead of the suitcase.
>>48174977
Propably the most retarded post on /tg/ right now.
>>48174992
You haven't seen the post he's replying to?
>>48174928
I doubt he'd attack guardsmen for free if they leave him alone.
>>48174977
HL1 and 2 came way before this hipster fad of wearing useless glasses, man.
>>48174951
So who really is the G-Man? And who are his employers? All I've been able to gather is that he probably isn't human, has a vested interest in causing the resonance cascade, a vested interest in mucking up the Combine's plans, and has the ability to warp time and space at will.
>>48174988
Probably some slighly off shaded skin color and slightly off bodily proportioned eldar with a slight speech impediment in the guise of their species version of Business Fashion Standard attire.
>>48175002
Nobody knows, but I'm sure HL3 will answer all our questions!
>>48175015
Stop anon ;_;
I mean, let's at least get some therories going.
>>48175015
Don't you mean HL^2+1?
>>48175004
That much's obvious Anon. Doesn't really help picture it. Especially the Business Fasion Standard attire bit.
>>48175002
An interdimensional businessman with a keen eye for business opportunities.
He caused the cascade through a self provided corrupted sample. This opened the path for the combine which weakened their stance elsewhere which let Gordon (a transdimensional biological construct, possible created as an avatar of G-Man) get into the Combine's home dimension and kill their leader which made way for the G-Man's current employers(we don't know who they are and probably never will) to now occupy and take over the combines territories and people. This has nice side effect, probably, of making his employers richer, painting the G-Man as a trusty source of solutioneering, a cancerous but technically smallish upstart empire dying off early, and hooking humanity(a possibly promising species) up in the multidimensional universe.
>>48174999
Well like i said. If they get in his way he brains them cause they're hindering the mission. If the combine guards didn't give him shit and let him walk through the front door he wouldn't have brained them either.
>>48175052
>It is then revealed the G-Man choose Gordon to act as trans-dimensional emissary for the human race do to his impeccable charades skills.
>>48175073
>Ooh I know this! It's..cheerleading!
>No? Hmm..eating a banana? Oooh, fondling a banana?

>>48175073
Who knows maybe gordon was just made for this one task or maybe G-Man keeps him in cold storage until needed. We still aren't sure on if the G-Man actually looks that way or its just a "suit" to blend in and if gordon has the same issue. Hell there's theories gordon "dies" a few times and the G-Man just grabs the equivalent of a back-up and shoves it into some random Gordon he has in his closet hence why you just randomly showed up on the train in HL2 with the G-Man giving you your activation phrase.
>>48175120
>There is not just one Gordon, but dozens, even hundreds, of Gordon sleep-cells across the world. But only one Gordon can be activated at a time in order to prevent temporal paradoxes.
Half Life just got 20 times cooler.
>>48175120
So..he's basically an RTS Hero/Epic unit?
>>48175137
Secret weapon on Borealis was Gordon Freeman.
>>48175137
Would you even WANT more than one gordon? We're talking about a guy who completely destroyed not one but 5 dimensions, smacked a higher dimensional beings equivalent of a brain so hard it recursively imploded, is apparently space Jaysus to vortagaunts, and took on a higher dimensional tier 2-3 civilizations army head on with a piece of metal and won in the course of a few months of wake time. I don't want to imagine what would happen if there was two who could tag team even if it was just one slappng the other in wrestling style while the other took a nap.
>>48175162
Those dead bodies wearing HEV suits in Xen were actually all Gordon Freeman, it's just one decided to be a cheeky cunt and nick 2 helmets so the Gordon we play in HL1 doesn't have one.
>>48175170
>Gabe Newell reads this
>Well, we can finally explain the Co-op for the third game
>What's that? We're not making it? Oh okay, time to make more hats then.
>>48175185
Man. If Gordan had a Gordan for driving AND shooting the world would burn.
>>48175200
Hl3 sets in online mode on one server where everybody is Gordon Freeman and the goal is to liberate Earth from invasion.
Map is whole Earth. Key locations hidden and required to win. Players have limited numbers of Gordon Freemans, if we run out - humanity is doomed.
Wonder if there is a Gordon Freeman like miniature to run as a count as character.
>>48175200
Then Ross Scott has to make a series called "Freemans' Minds" and it's and entire game-worth of Freeman arguing with himself.

>>48175250
>Gordons communicating
Does he know sign language now or something?
>>48175289
His stare can convey any and all needed amount of information.
>>48175015
Please don't. I recently finished playing all the Half Lives in order, and the after-downer still hasn't worn off.

To this day the weirdest part of the encounter was, and i SWEAR, as i was leaving my ass got a telepathic message that equivocated roughly "Dayum!"
>>48175052
>Gordon (a transdimensional biological construct, possible created as an avatar of G-Man)
What's the reasoning behind this statement?
>>48175903
Several dev statements, gameplay, hidden shit ingame, and unused files.
Basically once the last 3 were all discovered the first one happened.
Gordon is either a heavily modified human, some sort of construct(a blank clone), or he's just like G-Man and is some transdimensional creature and the image we have of him is merely the 3 dimensional envelope we can perceive. Ingame and lore states gordon has no memories before mesa or before the HL2 train and each time G-Man says an activation phrase before the "lights" turn on and his mental gears start running.
He also seems entirely incapable of speaking but comes "preloaded" with all necessary knowledge ahead of time including the use of highly advanced alien weaponry and vehicles that he just happens to instantly know how to use. Back to that speaking people around him seem to have this mental block from recognizing the fact without a lot of exposure and even seem to subconciously cover for this by speaking for him in ways they themselves seem oblivious to. Along with that we know G-Man occasionally freezes time and transplants him after deactivating him and you don't put up a fight either way.
Either he knows whats going on and doesn't care or he's a blank and hasn't been programmed to think about caring about that.
I also recall some vortagaunt you can find that backs a few things up with this shit in mind as a framing mechanism in HL2.
>>48176033
But he was born in Seattle and Kleiner was a long time friend.
>>48174368
/tg/ actually wrote a piece of writefaggotry about this scenario, back when they would get shit done instead of rampantly shitpost constantly.
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Half_Life_40k
>>48174816
Gross incompetence is pretty sabotaging, alright.
>>48176278
So they say. Again, it wouldn't be the first time he's had false memories implanted or had memories of himself implanted in others. G-Man basically paved the way for him.
>>48176033
But you candeny the G-man's offer at the end of HL1
And during the HL2 "saga"Vorts block the G-man from reclaiming you.He does "put up a fight"
If Gordon was a construct with a purpose, then why can he disobey his master?
>I also recall some vortagaunt you can find that backs a few things up with this shit in mind as a framing mechanism in HL2.
You mean the All-Knowing Vortiguant? If so, then i can't see which quote you mean

>>48176033
Gordon appearing on the train is just the G-Man pulling him out of storage. From his perspective, it's been seconds since the last game ended.
