Gman lost control

[Zeus]

In Half-Life, the G-Man made you. In Half-Life 2, he used you to defeat Dr. Breen and start the Resistance. In Episode One, he's lost control.

I found this on the official episode 1 site. What do they mean by "the G-Man made you"?

also I found this

Gordon's heroics catch the attention of a sinister interdimensional bureaucrat. The G-Man, as he's come to be called, seals Gordon in stasis far from Earth, thought, and time itself.

That explains the gman!! I hope this isn't old

G-man is Gordon's father.










*Ahem* I love the fact that they call him an interdimensional bureaucrat. That's one step closer to my theory of the G-man working as Earth's representative in a collective of Combine-free worlds.

I disagree

IMHOTBFranklyH, I think teh G-Man is evil.

 

[Darkside55]

I disagree

You WHAT?!



I will say, even though it's my theory I have some doubts about it. Some parts work, other parts only slightly work, and the G-man's apathy makes the whole thing hinge on a thread, but I stick by it.

Unless I come up with a newer, better theory to stick by.

I'll never believe the guy's evil though. He's just misunderstood.

 

[Asknoone]

I dunno. He just doesn't seem the type. His cryptic speeches...they aren't desperate, worried or afraid. They are cold, sinister and not entirely direct. "I've recieved some interesting offers for your services."
That leads me to believe he's more of a contractor using you as the mercenary. Besides, I don't like your idea anyway. Simple.

 

[Darkside55]

Ah, but he's certainly getting desperate now. Or at least, angry. "We'll see...about THAT!" Anger born of desperation, losing his important agent, with whom he was making those contracts.

And remember that he said ordinarily he wouldn't take any offers for Gordon. This at least states that there are clients he normally wouldn't hire Gordon out to, whether for cause or price. We're still not sure what the raggedy resistance had to offer the G-man, and despite Breen's quip that Gordon was available to the highest bidder, we're not entirely sure that he was correct.

And if he was, was that always the policy, or was it something new that developed during Gordon's seven-day adventure? The G-man was receiving offers BEFORE you destroyed the reactor. Apparently he opened the bidding--and started seriously considering these offers--sometime during Gordon's journey.

And it all comes back to "G-man: misunderstood servant of the people."

I read an article in Computer Games that had the whole quote. It says the G-Man "Made you a hero."

Well according to Valve the Half-life universe is changing dramatically, and Gmans speech at the end of HL2 reflects that. But of course with him losing control, there are some changes even he didn't see....And, Gmans = baddie.

:cheese:
