I'm starting to believe this theory.

Translation :
Haaransatz : hair
Schädelknochen : skull
Haarwuchs : sideburns
Form und Stellung des linken Ohrs : shape and set of the left ear
Wangenknochen : the hollow of the face
Kiefer Form und Verlauf : the shape and the set of the jaw
Kinnpartie : part of the chin
NasenForm : the shape of the nose

or maybe Gordon's Gregory House"

then there is this horrible but convincingly pant edited pic of Gman:

so . . . is Gordon and the Gman the same person? Is valve plaining on making this the big shocking revelation in episode 3?

I believe that Gman and Gordan Freeman are the same person, but I don't think they will be revealing it in Episode 3. They might, but I dont think they will. I love the HL series, and if they do tell us in Episode 3, Kick Ass.

It's his brother if anything. Their heads aren't remotely the same shape. Gordon's is much wider.

I was thinking the same thing but it could be just weight loss brought on by aging.

I have a harder time imagining that, as "evil" as GMan has been to Gordon, he would in fact be Freeman and not just come out with it when he talks to him.

I always just thought of him as an alien force. Not literally a green-skinned Martian, but in the sense that he is an extension of whatever powers have been manipulating Gordon and maybe he only looks human to be easier on the fragile human psyche. If he's future Gordon and has the abilities he demonstrates (stopping time, moving people instantaneously from one place to another, miles away,etc) why wouldn't he use them to just stop the Combine invasion in the first place or just teleport straight into Breen's office and choke him? No, I think he's got a bit more of an agenda.

Violence is your answer for EVERYTHING... Rolling Eyes

Just kidding. I agree that the Freeman/GMan comparison just doesn't make sense.

But if Breen Died from Gman and Gordon never had to do all that crap then the Gman we all know and love would be dead.

Gordon Freeman, box smashing crowbar wielding maniac.

Posted: Oct 13 2008 06:50 pm

Wow, Hugh Laurie, would make a dead on Gordon.

But, then again, I hope Valve is smart enough never to sell the movie rights. The first five of minutes of the film or less would ruin it for me.*

*As soon as Gordon spoke.

Maybe Gordon gains those abilities through out the series and he soon becomes corrupted by . . . HIMSELF!!!

I've always felt the same way. I've also thought that maybe the G-man is there just to help Gordon along the way and make sure he saves the world and all that good stuff. Maybe Gordon becomes some kind of powerful idol in the future? The G-man is just making sure Gordon doesn't die or something. Of course, the future Gordon would have to be more powerful than the G-man or else the G-man making sure Gordon doesn't die would be kind of pointless.

No. Just no.

The movie would be ruined if a) Gordon so much as utters a single syllable and/or b) Gordon and Alyx act out on their sexual tension that has become a staple of the series.

I never understood how Alyx is attracted to Gordon. I mean, yeah, the guy has done numerous deeds to almost single-handedly save the human race, but the guy never talks...I would think that would be a turn-off, no matter how heroic the guy may be. Usually, a really quiet guy who is deadly with a crowbar is someone you should avoid.

I would hold a .357 Magnum to my head and pull the trigger if that ever came to pass.

Gman will never be explained because he was meant to be the mysterious guy that advances the plot. Not even valve knows what he really is and I doubt they want to risk changing that.

Speaking of Half Life, the Hunters in that later level where you have to kill the striders with the Magnusson devices can KISS MY ASS STUPID HUNTER BASTARDS!!!!! Bleating and Babbling

Posted: Oct 16 2008 05:31 pm

Gman is Gordon's father.

But in all seriousness, look at the character models from Half Life 1. They don't even look remotely similar. Both models were probably just made from the same generic male character model when they started redoing everything for HL2.

I'm just surprised that the post didn't mention that they have the same eye color.

The eye color has become the biggest support for the theory, i just forgot to mention it at the time. Confused

I'm agreeing with Chunx on this one.

Well, it would make sense to have G-Man and Gordon be one in the same, but I think that would just detract from the story and make it crazy.
The whole fact that the G-Man constantly refers to the interests of others or something about Gordon's Contract makes me believe, that perhaps, the G-man works for the Future Gordon. Therefore, with the G-Man from the future he couldn't alter history or have anything change out of context. In otherwords, the butterfly effect could be the reason why Gordon has to do what he has to do. The only problem is the Vortignauts intervention. It may have thrown them for a loop or something. It also brings up the relation between Eli Vance and The G-Man.
But who knows... It's a game...
