I don't know if people have done this already but I'm gonna try to understand what he says.
Why does the Gman call Gordon Mr. Freeman, and not Dr. Freeman, as he does in the last monolouge, and as everyone else does? I think this is something that Valve couldn't have missed. If they did I'd say it was sensationally ridiculous. He also calls him Mr. Freeman in HL1
I think this emphazises the theory I have discussed, that you (Gordon) have been teleported straight from the HL1 ending to the HL2 start, and that this "sleep" is not sleep for you, but you've missed a lot which has happened on Earth (10 years actually).
This is a flashback to the Black Mesa incident 10 years earlier, where the Gman first spotted Freeman's talents.
I have no ****ing idea what this is supposed to mean.
To me this seems as if he is saying is it that time again, pointing to the end sequence from HL1 where Gman also picks up Gordon. But in the game it doesn't sound like that. Additionally, Gman is impressed of what Gordon has accomplished in the time he has spent on Earth, just as he was in HL1
Well, yes the Gman is impressed, but where do these offers come from. I keep hearing theories about the rebels hiring Gordon from Gman, and that could mean that a whole bunch of other parties want your help to kick ass.
In HL1 you are given the choice of accepting the Gman's offer and entering the portal, or you can "fight a fight you have no chance of winning" without any weapons. I.e. certain death. So this is his way of saying; all of you ****ers who weren't smart enough to walk into the portal in HL1, I'm going to make it easy for you.
(If you don't know it already, get the definition of arbitrary and imposition) Then we see how this really confuses people. The decision Gman is going to make for Gordon is "Determined by chance, whim, or impulse, and not by necessity, reason, or principle" and imposed on him without his approval (Although he doesn't object either). This decision is going to be taken in the future (HL3) by the Gman alone, but he can't say when that will be. It took him 10 years to give Gordon his first assignment, and who knows when the next one will come. And then... he ****s off.
