![[SFM] Gordon Posts Cringe](/img/1.gif)
The scariest thing about him is that you can't tell whose team he's on.
He isn't on the side of the Combine. The enemy of my enemy and all that.
He’s actually on Freeman’s side but he actually has no concern for freeman’s safety, all he cares about is the fate of humanity
I honestly believe Gman has Gordan's best interests in mind; Gman is just such an unknown variable, and HE also has to obey his bosses, but in the end he just wants Gordan to reach his 'limitless potential'.
My guess is he's on his own team, and uses everyone and everything else just to complete his goals.
@@Alizudo makes me think of Blake from borderlands, who has to key Handsome Jacks orders.

@@Omega-jg4oq You will never reach the truth
@@gerardonavarro3400 I am impressed you extrapolated a JoJo reference out of this
The writing of all Half-Life games is essentially Lovecraftian. Gman is an unknown entity not just because Valve refuses to tell us, but because the point of Gman is that he's a being so far beyond what humans even realize is possible that Gordon, Eli, and Alyx never actually figure out what the Gman is. Therefore, the player in every Half-Life game likewise never learns what Gman is, either.

Nerevar007 whats also cool is that, Gordon was supposed to go somewhere else as implied by G-man that his employers needed his services elsewhere, but the Vortigaunts intervened just in time.
There's a really subtle bit I love at 8:00, when he first hears the Vort chanting, he looks amused, and has a slight smile. Then he hears the rest and his entire expression drops. Such a short cut scene but it's the one and only time we see him flustered / his plans being hijacked and the "we'll see about that" is just the icing on the cake of his anger.
I've always wondered who he's about to talk to before he's intercepted. Maybe Adrian Shepard?
@@CaveJohnsonPrime nah it's Gordon, the vortigaunts rescue him from G-man here
its prolly cause vortigaunts are usually quite friendly, so he probably thinks they are just visiting to commune with him for some sort of deal, until they actively negate his abilities
@@BitrateBilly vorts are strong with whatever bs hokuspokus they do but nothing compared to the gman, then they can get buffed up by the antlion juice.
so he goes from smugly this is cute to oh you wanna go ? lets see how that goes
funnily enough the combine advisors seems to be in a similar if not stronger tier of psychic bs than vorts but without whatever makes them valuable as energy sources for the containment vault in HL:A like that little blink and you miss it shot of the advisor that kills ELi seeing alyx and Gman before getting fried
@@BitrateBillyit reminds me of a nylarathotep story were he encounters a human and some dimension hoppers he is amused by them up intill he finds out another outer god has gave them the means of removing him the irritation is just like the G-man's

G-Man looks surprisingly in good shape in Half-Life: Alyx.
Like no kidding, he looks like he spent the last 12 years in quitting smoking, eating healthy, recovering his 8 hours of sleep and doing lifting.
alyx takes place before half life 2 so...what causes him to go back down?
@@Pangloss6413 He said 12 years, not anything past 20. (HL2 is about 20 years after HL1)

@@Pangloss6413 Is G-Man subject to the boundaries of the space-time continuum?
Feohrad i doubt its aging g-man isn't even human. Its prob just the new graphics.

*The Prophecy is True*

Funnily enough, if you noclip in HL1 and look inside his suitcase there's a gun and some files inside.
@@Zenriesz Half-Life 3 Game Files!
You all wanna know what's inside the brief case its HL3 in VR I hope...
The way he copies himself during the alyx ending is fascinating. It’s like he has a backlog of things to take care of after being freed and is actively splitting his own timeline to multitask. At 11:55 in particular it looks like the original is the one that trails off and walks away while the clone comes in to continue the conversation.
Makes you wonder how wide his influence really is and how many other G-Men could be off doing separate things at any given time.
It's not a clone, he's just watching every possible consequence, like Dr. Strange.
After that he returns in time back to Alyx to continue the conversation.
He is a four dimensional being. It would be like you puting each of your fingers in 10 seperate 2D universes. You would be simultaneously existing in 10 universes at once.
8:25 - "Dr. Freeeeeemannnn..."
Wow. That gave me goosebumps, even after all this time.
i bet the g-man's back hurts from having to carry the entire half-life plot
Since he is the reason for the Half-Life plot it is fitting.
He keeps the plot in his briefcase

@@TiberianFiend Where did they say that? Last I heard(a few years ago so maybe it changed) They do consider it cannon.

Yet it is expressed with calm, direct manner.

@@thatreddude8796 these aliens are his enemies
@@thatreddude8796 It's not what they were saying, it's what they were doing, the Vortigaunts have psychic powers that can keep the G-man at bay, they were keeping him from reaching Gordon and taking him again.
10:00, the way he says "i wish" send chills down my spine, love this character
I absolutely love how it sounds like he has to force the words out like he's not used to talking in human form. Like it's not his real form and he has to really *try* to speak and pronounces everything so deliberately. He moves the same way. So stiffly and with such deliberate action. No expression, no movements other than what is necessary.

Oh who said that, JFK?
my employers diss-agree
my senior quote
I always liked to believe that valve included themselves in the game, as the employers of the gman, using him to actually make the scenario move forward
That’s brilliant, that actually would make perfect sense
I like how what he does and how he appears and disappears changes in each game, in hl1 he just teleports you around via opening and closing portals, in hl2 he freezes time and does that weird transparent thing, and in hl:a he clones himself while teleporting around, it gives the impression that he just does whatever he want’s to try to intimidate you
Gman must've been so happy to finally talk to some one with a voice
I mean that happened first so he probably just got disappointed talking to gorden
Actually, it works to his disadvantage. Having somebody who can’t describe G-Man to others or talk back is a dream come true for G-Man.
@@TheAlienGangster 5
Gman(in mind): guess I have to do all the talking again
Alyx: What who are you?
Gman(in mind): YES FINALLY SOMEONE WHO CAN TALK!
Well, he at least talked to Eli
Scary knowing the Gman has employers that may be more powerful than him
Doesn't mean he can't do anything againts them.
Take JC Denton from Deus Ex for example. His boss and his boss' boss FEAR him.
Power is an important factor but considering what the man knows and how he can apply his skills, he's still dangerous af.
Information wise probably yeah, with their biological technology is far better than combine but since you know some of them still are with the combine he has to deal with them and "extract" information to any of the combine that weilds it
If you read Epistle then you know the kind of power behind him and the Combine.
Gman was able to go behind his employer’s back by saving Alyx during Black Mesa without repercussions. I suppose that he is more powerful than them and only work under them because he can.
"And when no harm can come to you, I'm sure you can imagine there are worse alternatives..."
Such a spine chilling line

Besides Hunt Down the Freeman but who cares
@@DoctorTheo we do not count that thing...
well, we saw him talking to random scientist in Black Mesa
Well maybe he knew that alyx could talk thats why there’s conversation, since gordon couldnt talk he just gave full blown speeches lmfao
@@DoctorTheo hunt down the quicksave
The way he hesitates before saying “employers” in half-life 1, it’s as if he’s trying to think of a term that Gordon could best understand for them.
what i love about gman is that he is so much not-a-human that he uses human words as aproximations to what the hell he is and his position in all of this
In the first game he talks about government property, but he was not working for the gov, he always worked for his superiors
I always thought the same as you do, that gman simply uses business terms to make it easy for people to understand him, but it's not even close to what it really is
Overall, g-man is a mysterious character. Not much is known about his origins. Or who is his employers. Either way, I guess we'll just have to wait for the next Half-Life installment to determine who he is and his backgrounds...
@@humanman2358 Not that it's coming anyway, but sometimes it's better for mysteries to go unsolved. To me any answer to this question would prob be unsatisfactory and ruin the games. Look at The Elder Scrolls for another example. They are never going to make it clear what happened to the Dwemer, at least I don't think so. And they shouldn't.
it's like he knows human language but not used to speaking it, the way the timing is all thrown off
Idk alyx left a fat ass hint towards hl3
I think what's really sinister about the Alyx ending is that the G-Man simply states that the Combine "entity" ceases, and the Eli "entity" continues. He doesn't even confirm that Eli survives for much longer.
It could actually be that Alyx has made everything worse, if the Combine Advisor was actually going to make a mistake or do something "beneficial" to humanity in some way later in it's existence.
The combine is a rival for the g-man
@@Anverse-14Whatever he is, whoever he's affiliated with, it's definitely more of a threat than the Combine
bingo what if that advisor fucks up in a fictional episode 3 and gordon, kleiner and alyx use it as an advantage to move the story forward, but now its dead
worse of all what if Eli gets captured like in nove porspekt again but this time they get him to spill the beans?
careful what you wish for Ms Alyx vans
I love how G man acts like a dapper gentleman but really he is no one to mess with.
"You wouldn't *need* all that to imprison Gordon Freeman."
That line just feels so powerful to me for some reason.
Funny how he constantly puts Freeman into stasis constantly.
Is he roasting Freeman?
@@chaoticproductions3922 I guess for him all they had to do was put him in a tram and leave them there while g-man had to be put in his own time/space breaking cube, quite a bit of difference of levels of imprisonment there.
Edit: I am really surprised I got so many likes o.o
Gman knows how to imprison Gordan, just put him in statis

Having just finished Alyx last night seeing the "unforeseen consequences" it now makes sense to me. I wonder if they do have a long term story plan or if they are just able to adapt it that well to suit the new game.
Such a great, terrifying character. One part of me wishes they'd finally reveal his purpose, the other part hopes they leave everything about him unexplained because it adds so much to his larger than life aura.
Me: Well... could you teach me how to tie a tie?
G-Man: Ahhh, that would be a considerably large nudge. Too large.
Me: But you're wearing a suit and tie!
G-man: I'm afraid you misunderstand the situation.
Me: but why?
G-man: Well, my wifu tied it.
oh god, what if the suit and tie was his skin? eughhh
QuiteOdy oh my god what have you done
the suit is part of his body.

SpeedasaurusDex rest his soul, the new voice actor seems pretty good through despite how little we heard him
Yeah no idea why Merle Dandridge got the boot out of this though
@@Myne1001 According to one article I read they wanted Alyx to sound a good bit younger
They couldn’t replace the G-man. Despite his time in the games not being very long, the most he does is just say some cryptic speech for a few minutes and then leaves. Not to mention we don’t even know anything about him other than he’s very powerful. He’s still one of the most iconic characters not just from half life, but in gaming in general. If his voice was off people would know.
"See her safely to White Forest, Doctor Freeman."
Now we know why he cared.
Why?
Explain?!?

@@filippapic well so that alyx and eli could come together and relay the message to the father which sets of the chain of events that eventually lead to eli's death. Once the father's death is a reality the gman can give the ultimatum that you saw to alyx. He had to ensure that the future would play out a specific way so that alyx could choose to kill the advisor in order to indebt herself to the gman.
Really well tied together. Amazingly well done.

I'm not sure if it's coincidence or not, but the Advisor actually stares _directly_ at Alyx at the moment time freezes here.
I simply can't find words to describe how interesting G-Man's character is.
He's a videogame antagonist like no other, if you can even call him an antagonist.
The way he talks is like he's unfamiliar with everything is sort of creepy in a strange way. "You've.. done a.. great deal, in a small time... span.."
If they replaced his voice actor, his strange, creepy personality just wouldn't convey the same way.
👍
Fun fact: He's had multiple voice actors across the games
@@mayurdhanwani6664 nope
Welp too bad gotta wait another 14years till another half life game is released
Hes neutral
The fact that the gman is this godlike entity is scary enough, but knowing there is someone he considers an "employer" is something else entirely
Or rather, a Group. *Employers* , not Employer.
My headcanon is that it's like The Board and The Director from Control, G-Man is the "physical" being that does the employer's bidding
Like the Q in Star Trek being a part of the Q Continuum, he is pretty much a God and even him has to answer to the Continuum.
And what's worse: how powerful did the combine have to be to contain him?

I love how "off" G-Man is.. the way he talks, the grossness of how he sometimes breathes in through his mouth, his unneeded and seemingly random pauses in his speeches. Combine that with his odd, narrow face and constantly upright posture makes him a truly interesting and scary character.
Its even scarier when you realize that maybe the reason he takes these long pauses and deep breathes as if he had forgotten that he had lungs is because this physical form of G-Man is not what he is accustomed to.
@@BadKarma444 agreed... Its pretty obvious that he is something nonhuman trying to seem human
the final boss in the first Half-Life game said to Freeman "You are man...he's not man." it could imply that Nihilanth is talking about G-Man, G-Man acts so weirdly and creepy and whenever we're in his cutscenes we would be taken to different places and in Half-Life: Alyx, he literally made clones of himself. It is really obvious that G-Man is really not human, he's some sort of Eldritch alien more powerful than the Combine and Nihilanth and even the Advisors. What makes it terrifying is that G-Man clearly stated that he has Employers, there are more of his kind, watching Freeman and Alyx saving Earth from the Combine. A fellow commenter in this video said "I love how half-life: Alyx is just Valve’s very own way of saying “half-life 3 confirmed” which is true, Half-Life 3 just so happened to be confirmed and is probably finally in development
How terrifying... He's a mouthbreather...!
GMan? Or Gordon Man or Gordon Freeman GMan oldet version of gordon
Half Life 2's Gman still looks way too good for when that game came out.
I honestly think the gaming industry took until about 2010 to catch up to where Valve was in 2004 with Half-Life 2. Now Valve has come back in 2020 with Half-Life: Alyx and proven once again that their facial animations absolutely destroy the rest of the gaming industry.
Pikminiman day what you will about Steam, but valve will definitely be recorded as one of the best developers there was. They’re consistently at the cutting edge.
HL2 still looks good today. The engine may be old, but the art direction and scenery is top notch.
Still blows my mind that Half Life 2 released in 2004. The game is aging as fine as wine and with MMoD the game get's a nice touch up.... except for the Alyx defense section in Anti-Citizen One. With Combine improved accuracy and difficulty on hard it's just brutal, beatable yes, but will definitely require a few quick saves. Other than that I can't wait for whatever valve does for Half Life 3. Assuming that it does finally release all things considered. In the meantime, this is where I get off.

I believe he's extremely overjoyed since he finally has a subject that's practically been raised in warfare and tense situations. Alyx was able to do everything Gordon could WITHOUT the H.E.V suit, making her more powerful than Gordon. What's even better is that she's much younger than him, making her more obedient and blind to the tasks she could be given.
It also could be that him being wrong about a subject at first (he has no idea of her strength when he pulls her from Black Mesa as a child) is something that rarely happens to him and he's glad when it does

The best thing about him is that he may be the most powerful entity we have ever seen, he could probably put down any Boss in any universe without even acknowledging them, and yet even he works for someone else.
That is an incredibly concise way to explain why the writing in all Half-Life games is essentially Lovecraftian.
Pikminiman It’s why I love them. Games like BIO HAZARD/Resident Evil and Uncharted simply can’t compete, or rather won’t at least; they could if they tried, but that would require actual effort and caring about the content on the part of the development team.

Gordon Freeman --> G. Freeman --> G.Man
I find it very interesting that Alyx asks G-Man, "Who are you?", but G-Man replies with "Perhaps *what* I am...". It's a very interesting choice of words that I think goes fairly unnoticed.
"Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man in a mask." -- V for Vendetta. Just as G-Man's human appearance may just be a mask. Telling Alyx "who" he is would amount to nothing. So G-Man skips over it entirely and jumps to the "what", as you pointed out. A very mysterious and intelligent being.
In the original script alyx's line called gman a 'what' but gman's speech is the same, but yeah it does make it sound more ominous in the final version.
I think that sometimes, Perhaps *what* I am is not important
society if we all knew what g man's true form looked like
@David Assébof twitter.com/JamaalBradley/status/1258806825228488706?s=19
Also small correction she didnt explicitly refer him as a 'what' but refers to him as an item (weapon)
miss when gman was not called g toilet.
I always used to call "g toilet" as gman

i like how the auditor in the alyx ending fucking *notices* that something is up before getting frozen and incinerated. the auditors have such surprisingly expressive body language
the unforseen consequences wasnt Eli dying, it was Alyx disappearing and taking Gordon's role because of Eli's death. The message was for all three of them.
If Gordon was the right man at the wrong place, Alyx is the wrong woman in the right place.
Dear god, you're right!
She was definitely the wrong person, His Employers didn’t even care whether or not Alyx survived.
@@thebiolibrary5572 EXACTLY
Theory: Alyx freeing the Vortigaunts was what caused the G-Man chose hwr. The Vortigaunts made it impossible for the G-Man to get Gordon, so, he decided to instead let himself intentionally get captured in order to reach alyx. It's notable that Alyx and Eli only find out that the Vault holds a person after the Vortigaunts have been freed.
It just dawned on me that Eli bargained with the g man to save his daughter, and he called in the favor.
Wait when?! I really need to play all the games again there's so many things I don't remember
@@UsorThem07 Episode 2. He says it in a scene when Alyx tells him to prepare for unforeseen consequences. It's not new. He says it's a mutual friend.
So they botched worked with G-man in a deal? That’s crazy.

I like how advisor in mere miliseconds realizes that Gmas is near him just before Gman freezes time.

I love how it destroyed the lore of Half-Life by introducing time travel and "fate". Congratulations, nothing you'll ever write in Half-Life will ever have permanent consequences.
@@singami465did it though? Vortigaunts are canonically coterminous, meaning they see both past and the future at the same time, all the time. Surely this means they can see multiple possibilities of future events as well. G-man just changed the order of those events.
8:02 I like when gman breaths in and just looks around the voidish dimension he has.
I love how his voice sounds like it was pre recorded using a crappy quality mic. Really adds to the uncannyness
I love how insecure and stressed G-Man sounds when he mentions his employeers. He by himself is very powerful, so imagine how powerful his employeers are if even he is stressed by the very mention of them
They can snap the earth
Maybe it's condescendance instead. Maybe he says "employers" knowing that _he_ is their boss in reality. Or maybe he can't really express _his_ vision of what his employers represent to him. Maybe they don't fit our concept of employers, but since there is no word in the English human language to fit what they are to him, he stutters when using the word closest to the concept.
Hes like one of the elder gods, its straight up lovecraft
His employers could be somebody that depends on him, giving him tasks for the means of their collective goal and survival. I guess perhaps they're not necessarily stronger or anything.
I think, personally, that Gman's employer's interests are beyond our understanding. Perhaps they're training "extraordinary" individuals for some otherworldly task, so by proving that a few guys and a girl can defeat an inter-dimensional galaxy-devouring space empire, they may be suitable for whatever the next mission is. It's pretty obvious that Gman wants them to defeat the combine, at least to me. This is why he said "that would be a considerably large nudge, too large" when alyx asked for the combine to "leave earth", he doesn't NOT want them gone, but he wants her to prove that she is more than capable of doing so on her own.
When you ask someone "Who are you?" and they answer with " _What_ I am", you gotta rethink your questions and requests from that point onwards.
Yeah. Pretty scary.
In the original dialogue, Alyx asks actually "what are you" and they simply kept the original answer instead of asking Shapiro to voiceover again
Or maybe that was intentional

I love how Russel said in Half life: Alyx that it was a "miracle" both her and Eli got out of black mesa alive, and now watching this G-man said he plucked her out of it?? Everythings coming together
So the theory is complete, no holes anymore.... G-Man did indeed knew that Freeman would eventually be freed from him by the voritguants so he had already hired Alyx before it happens.
Timeline:
Black mesa happens, Eli bargains with G-Man then after that, G-Man gets imprisoned by the Combine through the use of Voritguants' powers and then is mistaken to be a weapon by the Human Resistance(HL:Alyx) then Alyx frees G-Man in exchange for her dad's life in the future and is also hired by G-Man then her memory gets wiped and had probably had fake memories of what was in the vault then the timeline continues until HL:2 Ep. 2 ending where the bargain of G-Man and Alyx is fulfilled and she was now hired by Gordon and her memories of G-Man is returned.... With that being said, many people think that HL:Alyx happened in an alternate timeline or that it involves time travel which is a no no because of the fact that the pistol that you(Alyx) get from Russell is kept by her and it also is fully upgraded which you can see in HL 2
@@gus9351 how do we know her memory gets wiped?
@@bapboi That's the only explanation, it is said to be a prequel, not a sequel as if it was a sequel then that means that it involves time travel but it's a prequel so no time travel at all just some memory wiping stuff
@@gus9351 To be honest I think Gman did not know of the vortigaunts. And in fact the unforeseen consequences he did was to nudge the death of Eli back. What deal did Eli do with G-man? Well it obviously would be seeing her daughter removed from Black Mesa. No matter the cost. That cost obviously would be the death oh him, eventually. But that was then set back to him being alive. Which, he didn't know about. But then the vortigaunts freed Gordon. So Gman resorted to nudge it back. Which Eli did not forsee. Because he already was expecting to die. and yeah
@@gus9351 regarding the alternate universe thing, why is the shirt worn by eli under his jacket in HL:A different from the one he had in EP2? at first i thought it was a mistake by valve but if you look at the original ending of HL:A with the original voice actor for alyx, eli is wearing the shirt from EP2. so they must've changed it for a reason

I recently managed to experience the entire half life and portal franchise for the first time, without any spoilers on my way whatsoever, and man has it been a journey. A lot of the time, these speeches make no sense at all, yet they are still amazing and feel strong and mysterious. This game has amazing writing, and I can't wait to see what else valve will give us, if they give us anything at all :p
G-man describing his "employers" reminds me of James Wesley from Daredevil Season 1. That character reference (as in looking to a similar character for understanding), plus his admittance that those who "adapt and survive against all odds...remind [him] of [himself]" give a little bit of insight into his origins. However, I have yet to finish HL2 and I'd rather not be spoiled anymore than I already have. Be back with more thoughts!

The way he speaks is so hypnotic, his inflection is impossible to place
I think it's meant to be impossible to place. The occasional "sing song" tone, the strange yet deliberate word choice, the lack of understanding concepts of family and friendship, all of this says to me that this is a completely alien language being funneled through a translator. This inter-dimensional being shouldn't have any discernable accent, so he speaks in this bizarre way
Tyler Mercer I’ve always interpreted it as him not being comfortable in a human form.
@@fatalbert2055 And the way he takes breaths. Definitely doesn't breathe like a normal human.
Some people say he is actually a hatched Shu'ulathoi, being able to take any form it chooses. It chose the form of a human, perhaps to fit in better? And he is not used to having physical lungs, therefor his breathing and talking is very.. odd.
Yes. Plus, he stops on words most of us humans wouldn’t

Because he is a alien
he is not used to talk with lungs
@Taco_ Kamikaze well, Nihilanth also implies that Gman is not human, so that's for sure.
I always liked the description I heard from years ago. The G-Man is something very different from human, trying to appear human, but not trying all that hard. He has the shape right, what he says is coherent and his manner of dress is neat and was not immediately distracting prior to the Black Mesa incident. But all the little details are wrong. He emphasises the wrong syllables, his eyes seem to almost glow at time and by the time of the Combine, his suit is now very out of place, but he's got a form he uses to talk to us apes and he's sticking with it.
I prefer his episode 2 appearance. I think his disguise of being a human improves each time, yet still seems off
I remember my father playing Half Life 2 when I was 6 years old. And I remember so well this opening screensaver with G-men when Gordon is on the train. I didn’t understand then what it was, what he was talking about, and then he (father) began to play the game. I was a little 6 year old girl, but I was AMAZING this game, I really liked it!!!
