Really now,what happened with Barney's sense of humor,i understand they had a train to catch,but he was definetly very serious about this,the only part that made me laugh,just a bit,was when he gave me the crowbar and he said that he doesn't have much more of those :frown:
 
I never considered Barney, or any other HL2 character (except perhaps Lamarr) to exist solely for comic relief.
 
Being trapped in a city that's about to go kablooey after more than a week of intense street fighting sort of kills your sense of humor.
 
Hmmm Citadel about to erupt wich would vaproze him and everyone in the city. He has to make sure people board the train to escape City 17 and he is boared up in a building surrounded by Combine and filled with Heabcrabs and Zombies. I dont know if I would crack jokes in a situation like that (well, actually I would because Im like that) But still he wouldnt be happy.
 
If you "use" him during the ep1 escort mission, he gives you a rather funny look.

Made me smile :)
 
When you said that, I thought of the South Parky styled comic strips they did based off Half-Life. There's two I have on my computer at home (I think). One being a distorted face of GF in three of the frames and in the third, well... wouldn't want to spoil it :P

The other one has three different scenes with Barney going "Hey, catch me later and I'll buy you a beer!" and in the final one GF's dragging a little cart behind him with like a load of beers.

I'll have to find them.

Edit: Couldn't find it, but I found "Concerned": http://www.hlcomic.com/index.php?date=2005-05-08

Edit Edit: Lmao! This is hilarious!
 
He also says 'she's waiting for you Gordon - you lucky dog, you!'

2 jokes are enough. He decided to BE ADEQUATE.
 
"BE ADEQUATE"

What the hell does that mean? :p

Plus Barney is under a lot of stress in Ep1, can't blame him really. You can tell from just looking at him. He's probably been through a lot while you've been playing with the super gravity gun.
 
I dont know what happened his sense of humour, i mean look at him in EP2, its like he's not even there ;)
 
the writers can't make two characters funny in 1 game
they put all the funny in to Alyx the zombie impersonator
 
Barney's sense of humor died along with Black Mesa...kthxbai.
 
I would love to see you fight hundreds of combine soldiers, for over one week, with very little sleep, destroy synths, order rebels around, and create DIY bases out of old apartments and still have time to enjoy your life. I understand why Barney had had enough in Episode 1, his new skin speaks for itself, bloody/bruised forehead, sweaty, ripped uniform and generally scruffy, I think Barney will be back with his usual clever remarks and jokes in Episode 3
 
Teehee that comic is awesome :D

Indeed. I have a couple of those on my computer for some reason. Just annoyed I didn't have them at the time. And was annoyed I couldn't find it again. *Bookmarks*
