Administrator spectulation (w/ poll)

[RhapSidious]

I know this is a little redundant, but I wanted to see what everyone's take on the whole Administrator / G-Man thing is.

 

[pixartist]

who the **** is "the Administrator" ?

 

[RhapSidious]

Ever play a game called Half Life?

It's Munro.

On a slightly more serious note, though, there just isn't enough information to back up any speculation, so I haven't really formed an oppinion. I'm leaning towards the Admin. being more than just a head scientist (ie involved with the G-man somehow) but 1) it's possible that this isn't the case, and 2) who works for who is anyone's guess at the moment.

Edit: Three days with only 2-3 hours of sleep (total) is really getting to me lol... did I think I was being funny when I wrote this post? I don't even know anymore. I'm going to hang up now. trgf (*hits head on keyboard... I actually did, too, you know)

Umm... i thought every knew that the G-man WAS the administrator?

A lot of people made that assumption, but a recent interview with the writer behind HL and HL2 confirmed that they are in fact two completely separate characters.

 

[Wesisapie]

Well i don't care. I prefer G-man = Administrator.

 

[Logic]

Fair enough. I'll just e-mail Valve and ask them to change it for you.

 

[Wesisapie]

kthx

 

[Logic]

:cheese:

Ah so THERE'S the reason for any delays.

Gabe: "WOAH!! Stop everything! We've just got news Weisapie doesn't like the stroy! Aw crap... LAIDLAW!!!"
Marc: "What d'you MEAN he doesn't like it!? We... Oh Jesus. Back to square one I guess."
Gabe: "Alright back to work people. We're over-hauling the whole thing. Just like last time. We'll be done by September 30th2004 just like that ingenious psychic Fragmaster said..."

Personally I assumed that the G-Man was the Administrator, but looks as if we'll finally meet... "his employers".
Things could get real crap right about now.

 

[Logic]

lol

As for things having the potential to get real crap, I tend to think the story will be great. Laidlaw's interview really reassured me of that. It seems they've contentrated a lot on fine tuning the exposition of the storyline to the player. Not only that, but with five years to work on, and fine-tune the storyline, how could they possibly mess it up? (especially considering how well they did on HL1)

I think he is like the administrator of the hospital on Monty Python's Meaning of Life.

All true, but the amount of time doesn't mean they won't screw it up... <coughs>Matrix<coughs>
But like you, I tend to think it'll be just dandy. I just don't wanna be sitting there, listening to the G-Man explain things and for me to suddenly groan in despair.

OT:

so you though the first matrix was good and the second one sucked horribly?

good to know im not alone.

 

[Logic]

The second one definately didn't work as well as a film as the first did, but I found it interesting, so I enjoyed it. I think it will fit nicely into the trilogy when all three movies can be watched in context with each other.

Already a few topics about this, so I'm closing.
