If the bootstrap device allows to travel back in time within one universe then it is a bad idea, it defeats the G-Man purpose as the plot device as well as the whole Half-Life plot. VALVe debunked that thing for sure. It was never in VALVe's intentions to make travelling back in time to change...

Since the Aperture Science company was mentioned in the Episode Two storyline, the whole Half-Life Universe was expanded and as a result disintegrated. It is very important not to mess up with the main Half-Life storyline and the whole Half-Life universe with new titles/storylines, in this case...

I didn't play too long Bioshock but I have seen walkthrough videos, I don't remember that there was the developers interference with player decisions. Everything goes within the fictional universe and only between the fictional characters. Correct if I'm wrong. In case of Half-Life, VALVe uses...

I think the last interview with Gabe Newell proves what I said here, Half-Life and everything in it are tools, it shows the true side/nature of the Half-Life universe. The final nail in the coffin for all dumb theories.

If you really want to call someone as God in Half-Life, call VALVe developers, because they created the Half-Life Universe, that would be logical. G-man is a tool used for the plot. And Freeman also is a tool, created for the players, we can call Freeman as Host Body that allows to enter...

It doesn't make the Half-Life universe unreal it makes it look like it doesn't have a Creative Beginning, which means that it could be just a battlefield in which VALVe and we the players are in. The writer against the reader, the plot against free will and so on, are fundamental issue in the...

He represents VALVe, the plot. Freeman represents us, free will.

Came across my mind that question. Gaming Community is getting older, since the release of Half-Life 2 EP2 passed so much time, everyone's got older now, video games also are becoming more serious in terms of violence, characters personality, story etc. So recently I started playing Half-Life 2...

Yes you're right, but what I meant is, for example, on the one side the World Opponent Network (WON online gaming environment) and on the other side the Border World in Half-Life (XEN, a dimensional transit, a bottleneck where all other universes are interconnected for teleportation). Every...

I'd say about 70-85% here is what I wrote a long time ago in the unified theory, then renamed it to the Instance Zero, then wiped out it after all. Anyway, I came to a simple conclusion that making theories about the HL plot in order to explain it is absolutely useless, because it is not a plot...

Ok then, but 7 hour war and even the years after are one helluva gap in the half-life history that will lead to many speculations, we don't know what the military units of the Combine during the invasion look like, almost everything that we saw in Half-Life 2 is the result of the Combine's...

Sooo the Combine's helicopters were in 7 hours war ?! the heck...

Here is a quick made interpretation, actually some parts of it do make sense. ps\ it has nothing to do with my profile's name haha

That's quite interesting, this theory gets more and more veiws, constantly increasing even after I decided to delete it, two times already btw. At some moment I realized that it doesn't work anymore, all these theories, half-life series have a long.... years of history and endless amount of...

It's a good question, noticed that quite a lot of games on E3 are open-world, seems like open world is new a trend in video game industry.
