GMan

I thought about making a thread where you could post pictures and places where you could see GMan... :smile:

You have to write the place where you took the pic, (Fairly precise) put in a picture (NOT link to it!) and if the picture isn't very clear, or GMan is in a dark spot etc. you also have to write a description of the picture.

NO pictures of him in Point Insertion! I will post the pictures up here in this post to avoid it getting too messy and spammed. :biggrin:

Somewhere (or many places) in Sand Traps there is a house. I can't exactly tell which. Anyways, inside one of these there are a scope, and when you use it you can see the coast on the other side. The view goes right and left and shows some patrolling rebels. In a sort of barn you can see GMan talk to a rebel. (Who probably mysteriously dies afterwards i guess :biggrin: )

In one of the guard stations in nova prospect there is a surveilance-screen where you can see GMan. He's down in the left corner, in the window.

In Anticitizen Zone you follow dog, who kills some combine and then opens a gate for you. Then a drop-ship comes, and this is the poit where you should jump over the fence and (quickly) follow the corridor until you have an elevator on your left and a little tv screen standing on some concrete blocks.

DON'T look at the tv, instead go into the elevator and look the other way or something. Then you should hear some music start playing, likely coming from the tv. Quickly go over to it and look at it, and you should see GMan pulling his tie (Is that the word? The Danish word is slips anyways :razz: ) for a few seconds.

I know I have seen this thread here before. At least the idea of this thread.

The only place I remember seeing him is when you dock the air boat. Yeah he was elsewhere but I only recall the boat dock.

Wil5on = GMan, if you didn't know.

That's some bad ass photoshopping there...

in the level right after the underground (with the
elevator-on-the-steep-slope-exit), where you have to follow train
tracks with a lot of snipers in buildings above you. at one point you
have to go from the train tracks to a parking lot to the left (where,
in a building, there's a firefight between combine and rebels). Instead
of going to the parking lot, keep following the tracks and look beyond
the trainwreck; you see G-man walking away. Can't be bothered to
reinstall HL2SP to take a screenshot :razz:

These words are my diaries screaming out loud

I know what you're talking about Blister. Well, the area anyways, I never followed the tracks.

There's about 12 or 13 G-man places, I believe. There's a site (or likely multiple) that keep track of things like this, so...

Google :razz:

1. Who's head is scratched out

2. Why the hell ar their heads so big compared to the rest of their bodies?

Might be Breen's head that is scratched out, which would certainly make
sense if the picture is somewhere like Black Mesa East or Kliener's
lab. I can't remember where it is, so dunno if that would make sense in
the context or not.

I work for him.

Yeah -- GMan wasn't a scientist. It's Breen that's been scratched out.

And as for the heads, I think they made them larger so they'd be easily recognizable.

Its Breen thats scratched out. That picture is in BM East (I think). Also, before anyone asks, the guy on the right isnt G-man.

G-man is also clearly visible for 2/3 secs when you get to the red house with the boat. He's just walking in it, then dissapearing.

Reminds me of one of my favorite HLcomics:

http://www.hlcomic.com/comics/concerned012.jpg

Here's a full list btw:

* A Red Letter Day (map: d1_trainstation_05): If Gordon flips through the main monitor in Kleiner's Lab a few times, eventually it will come across the G-Man staring at the other side of a fence.
* Route Kanal (map: d1_canals_01): In a resistance member's boxcar, a TV temporarily shows the G-Man, with a Vortigaunt watching and supplying television power.
* Water Hazard (map: d1_canals_06): He is seen standing on a pier in front of the headcrab infested Station 7. As Gordon approaches, he disappears inside.
* Water Hazard (map: d1_canals_06): Vaguely seen in a large rectangular monitor that flickers his image along with other broadcasts.
* Water Hazard (map: d1_canals_12): Seen overlooking a ledge as Gordon's airboat passes under.
* Water Hazard (map: d1_canals_13): Before Black Mesa East, the G-Man can be spotted on a concrete ledge near the gate controls.
* We Don't Go to Ravenholm (map: d1_town_05): After leaving Ravenholm, he can barely be seen walking off into a tunnel behind a few train cars.
* Highway 17 (map: d2_coast_03): Looking through the Combine binoculars near the start of Highway 17, Gordon can spot the G-Man conversing with Colonel Odessa Cubbage at New Little Odessa.
* Nova Prospekt (map: d2_prison_02): Seen peering through a door window as Gordon flips through the monitors near the beginning of the prison.
* Anticitizen One (map: d3_c17_02): In a ruined tenement building in City 17, an image of the G-Man standing in a wooden boat with a crow on his shoulder is seen briefly on a television. Strangely, the TV is unplugged.
* Anticitizen One (map: d3_c17_03): Similar to the giant rectangular monitor seen in the canals, the G-Man's image flickers on and off with Doctor Breen's, before the monitor is toppled by resistance members.

Um, Eastern Europe is one of the last "safe" places for humans... and the place where key HL1 characters ended up? Sure, there were a lot of unanswered questions, but the leap from Nevada (or wherever) to Eastern Europe didn't seem like too much to handle.

Its Breen thats scratched out. That picture is in BM East (I
think). Also, before anyone asks, the guy on the right isnt G-man.

No, it's in Kleiners lab in City 17. Theres a lot of interesting newspaper clippings and things around there.

Yeah, thats right. Theres still lots of cool story stuff in BM east tho.

"If you talk at all during this lesson, you have detention. Do you understand?"

• My yr11 Economics teacher

Yeah, I'd assume so. I'm playing through my second time now, and
if you just take a second to look at the bulletin boards put up all
over the place, you find out a lot of interesting things.

It's fun :smile:

In the HL1 manual there's a letter to Dr Freeman and Dr Kleiner from somebody called "LM". I'm guessing that the G-Man is LM, but I have no idea what LM actually stands for.

Better to be in denial than to be human.

Bill Gates understands binary: his company is number one, and his customers are all zeros.

Lactose Man. Gman is the milk man! That's why he's always around.

Want to hear something badass? The first time I played through
HL2 and I was in Black Mesa East in Eli's lab... I noticed something on
the bulletin board.

It's the newspaper article about the surrender of earth thats tacked up.

On the bottom part of the page is a picture of a man grieving.
Here I managed to find the screenshot on google images, and I've
circled part of the screenshot:



I recognized that picture from the online edition of the New York Times
on September 11, 2001. I was moved by the picture and saved it to
my harddrive, and then I saw it in HL2. How much do you want to
bet that they didn't ask permission to use the photo? :razz:

Here's the photo from September 11, 2001:



As far as I know, no one else has ever made this connection. Someone give me an e-cookie!

So ... the combine is Al-Queda?

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Yeah, and Valve steals images from the NYTimes.com, just like me!

nice. i think you idd are the only one who made the connection. blackmail them

thanks Orph! the game freezes often though (today it crashed and closed), i think it's because of the ram, i have 512mb only. i'll need more if i want to map big maps, hammer is always saying that the system is.. overloaded?
i'll probably get 1gb more soon. i must.
:rolleyes: ...

that's... after the mine. there are some trains and cars, you kill some masked-guys, then enter somewhere (lol), they contact alyx, and then you get to ride the car...

sorry im bad at explaining and too lazy to run HL2 and check. it takes a while to load.

Ah don't worry about it, I was just curious.

Way to quote that whole thing for the last statement.

Just curious, is there any chance they will ever write a novel based on Half-Life like the Halo books which will answer some or most of the big questions?

Not only did Valve copy the article. They copied the Paper's Title(if it is from the NY Times).
