But since Gordon never gives her any play, it will fall to Dr. Kleiner! ;)

Touche. ;) Presumably it wouldn't be the 'he's dead' part that's the turn-on (for non-necrophiles), but the 'I'm still alive!' part.

Incidentally, I think it's been pretty well-documented that people often respond to death with fornication. I'm not sure what the psycholigical basis for it may be; something to the effect of a 're-affirmation of life' type thing, probably, in very simplistic terms. So in that sense, Alyx...

Anything beyond more hugs and the like seems really unlikely to me ... although Valve seemed to go to great lengths in Episode 2 to point you in that direction. They like to tease us though. Just like Alyx.

Gordon's a pogue. He should have gotten into Alyx's pants long before now. ;)

Offing another major character would appear a bit cheap, imo, like Valve was trying to cash in on the success of the Ep. 2 scene. Don't think it's likely to happen.

Who's "G-Man?" Wait - I think I saw him once ... the guy with the coffer?

I wouldn't be so sure. She may use the threat of competition and the implied possibility of Gordon not eventually getting into her pants to manipulate him. That is, assuming she's like most other women out there. ;)

G-Man got **** in the ***** by Alyx? :stare:

Tangent alert ... I know the Black Mesa: Source project can't be considered canon, but I read they were going to make the HL2 Barney the one banging on the door at the start during the tram ride, and then never to be seen again. I think they said they don't intend to feature Magnusson at all.

It really was tragic.

Gordon's first: "Ahem ... I'd just like to say -" Alyx: "Gordon, shut up and go get more rebels/figure out that puzzle/plug in that electric cord/fetch me a cappuccino. Hurry up." Gordon's last: " ... "

... I never quite understood that myself, but I guess they've got their reasons. [edit] Just did a little searching over there and cman2k (project leader) had this to say about it:

Yeah, it will require HL2 at least. Also Counter Strike: Source. I believe they're working off the Episode 1 build atm.

No it isn't. It was scary as hell. Certainly the old 'eye of the beholder' adage applies here, in which case sweeping statements of 'fact' (on either side - and as applies to Ravenholm as well for that matter) are pointless and ill-advised. Anything may be scary to some, not to others, and...
