Assuming Gordon is a completely normal person, he'd probably be catatonic by the end of things. He has to deal with the guilt of indirectly causing the deaths of millions (possibly billions), the weight of the human race counting on him, killing, death, horrific monsters, and massive amounts of physical stress from days of combat with no rest. I'd say the only reason he hasn't curled up and died yet is because he had hardly anytime to process it.

This made me think a properly funded and professionally produced half life series that follows Gordon from the start at Black Mesa all the way to White Forest would actually make a really compelling and intense Sci fi dystopian story. Gordon could be mute or not, but communicating his stress and horror through a capable actor and great shot composition/soundtrack (the latter of which are already present and ready for adaptation) would be an important part in making him less of a player-vessel and more of a human character that an audience could associate with whether they knew half life since the original release or as an independent first-exposure to the world and story.
Either a film series or a show series would be great. One part takes you through HL1, another is HL2. Potential for a HL:A spin-off, but unlikely. Title: _"Gordon, Theoretical Physicist"_ or _"The FreeMan"_
@@100dead The Free Man might not be too bad, I mean telling the story from his perspective would effectively be like seeing the whole of humanity fall under a Hyper advanced interdimensional totalitarian trans-biotic nightmare empire.

It could also follow more with the original meaning of the term half-life by perhaps concluding the story in sone way the reflects its meaning in science - though how that could be interpreted in story is not something I'd really know how to handle myself. Knowing how the story is liable to end in the games might help - I think I read something about a writer posting a blog with the original planned ending for half life 3 where Gordon effectively goes to the combine dimension and destroys a Dyson sphere. Could have some interpretations about how the larger and more developed a civilisation becomes, the more unstable they are and liable to total collapse and fracturing (but I really have no idea how one might go about using the term well to found a meaningful story around that principal).

There’s something about 0:59 that’s just viscerally dreadful. Between the visuals and audio, the vague statement is unsettling and ominous enough. Even worse knowing just *what* exactly the payloads in those shells are...
When a variation on a meme is scarier than the original. Seriously though, the Mr. Incredible Breakdown meme has never made me get a fight or flight response. This has.
For the record, the fact that Gordon remains in the stasis for two decades has no impact on his sense of time. Cannonically, the events between Black Mesa and Half-life 2 feel only a mere week apart from eachother in Gordons mind.
You know Gordon must absolutely hate his life, for the past two weeks in his mind he’s survived the military, an alien threat, escaped his work place, essentially lost 20 years of his life, bound to help the remnants of humanity, crush a universal threat, now have to save Alyx from the G-man, and the worst of all….. he blew up that casserole…
That “we don’t go to Ravenholm anymore” picture is like genuinely horrifying. Like something you’d find in a security camera seconds before the feed breaks.
He won't. With the amount of radiation exposure he had in what appears to be just a few days (stasis, teleportation didn't affect his body), he probably has cancer that isn't yet developed enough to harm him
Im pretty sure if that happens gordon doesnt have to say anything since he's like the most famous person in the world. I mean, he alone changed to future of humanity twice atleast. First i black mesa and then whooping combines ass
He won’t. He’d be in a psychiatric hospital for the rest of his life with all the trauma he has experienced. He’d be a shell of a man…unable to feel any emotion.
Gordon is said to have top notch mental fortitude but still, by the end of it, if he survives, even if they win, he'll be fucked up, to him ever since Black Mesa it has been a constant fight without pause, the 20 year stasis was like a blink, for him all the games happen back to back in like 2 months of unending struggle. The continuous violence, terror, tiredness, the existential dread of knowing the only reason humanity has some sort of hope is bc its in a much bigger game of cosmical chess, constantly confused, switching between dimensions and times, reality must feel fleeting to him, by the end of this he won't feel human, he'll be lucky if he's even able to think of people as valuable, he might be as detached from personal feelings as Gman.
Fun fact: If you hover your mouse over the video time bar, you can see the "you show up to work late" image with the text "Resonance Cascade" because they overlap by 1 frame and that happens to be the one chosen for the time preview.
Imagine you're going late to work, make an experiment, aliens start spawning everywhere, you kill hundreds of aliens and soldiers, a businessman with a briefcase offers you a job, you agree, you're sleeping for 20 years, you wake up, and the earth is being occupied by aliens
I never understood the argument for people blaming Gordon. He just pushed the crystal in, he did the grunt work and had the least to do with it going wrong out of everyone
@@highwaymanF2 even though I'm late, think of it like this. Imagine Gordon as a person who pushes the button for a nuclear strike. They are not responsible for the reasons why that's bomb must be launched, they're just following orders, but they are partly responsible for the deads of thousands of people. And you have to take into account that it's even worse because they didn't know what was going to happen to begin with. There would reasonably be people who resented Gordon and Black Mesa, blaming him for not knowing better. The whole Black Mesa Incident is a really well interesting situation, that could open up quite a bit of debate. Debate that I'm not going to do or expand. I'll simply leave this response.
I think a more fitting music at the beginning is Half Life Main Menu Theme from the PS2 version, but overall this video really sums up Freeman's transitioning emotion throughout the years.
Highly trained marines can't kill him, a group of professional assassins of black operations can't kill him, alien beings from another dimension can't kill him, a literal god-like being who has enslaved other aliens and wrecked a majority of world can't kill him, a lower military group of an entire alien empire of highly intelligent creatures that enslave other alien universes and _combines_ them under their flag who has also conquered Earth and enslaved the entirety of human race in a mere 7 hours can't kill him, high amounts of radiation can't kill him and no amount of bullets can pierce his armor. But that "thing" you've just mentioned...He'd be far more than dead.
Honestly when considering the lore of half life and all the horrifying and awful events that unfolded after black Mesa, I feel the mood each mood gives is almost really how it must have felt for not just Gordon but for almost everyone else too

BUT WHO'S TO JUDGE THE RIGHT FROM WRONG WHEN THE GUARD IS DOWN I THINK WE ALL AGREE
THAT VIOLENCE BREEDS VIOLENCE BUT IN THE END IT HAS TO BE THIS WAY!
0:58
*"Security Guard asks for your Passport"*
Alyx is put in stasis for 30 years
think the unadulterated fear and panic of "they're shelling us" is the scariest one imo
That actually would make a good cover art. 1:13
1:58 that's just the perfect song to end on, giving that feeling of hope to fight on when there was so much darkness
Realizing that HL: 3 will have a 0.0001% chance of releasing
Good job, that thumbnail jumpscared me twice today
You're an unfinished model in the vr installment
I think a more fitting music at the beginning is Half Life Main Menu Theme from the PS2 version, but overall this video really sums up Freeman's transitioning emotion throughout the years.
I was hoping someone would do this
i never realized how truly fucked up gordon's life becomes
Now make him react to half life r34
*Disgusting*
Highly trained marines can't kill him, a group of professional assassins of black operations can't kill him, alien beings from another dimension can't kill him, a literal god-like being who has enslaved other aliens and wrecked a majority of world can't kill him, a lower military group of an entire alien empire of highly intelligent creatures that enslave other alien universes and _combines_ them under their flag who has also conquered Earth and enslaved the entirety of human race in a mere 7 hours can't kill him, high amounts of radiation can't kill him and no amount of bullets can pierce his armor.
But that "thing" you've just mentioned...He'd be far more than dead.
That shit hitting different no cap!
Eli's death was the saddest death in any game, besides Lazlo. This video makes it more sad too.
"Gordon forgets his passport"
"Freeman becomes the monster in my nightmares tonight"
That reminds me, just wanna say the Half-Life Alyx credits music slaps.
Don't worry he's an highly trained professional,
0:54 when you step on something wet when you are wearing socks
Honestly when considering the lore of half life and all the horrifying and awful events that unfolded after black Mesa, I feel the mood each mood gives is almost really how it must have felt for not just Gordon but for almost everyone else too
The ending be like: JK, we're back boys.
" An alien threat has taken over the world " Man... Its perfectly described what happened after the seven hour war...
Now I crave SFM versions of scenes from David Lynch movies.
David Lynch should direct the Half life movies in the future.
1:33 my reaction to it when I saw it for the first time but I cried alot
Could somebody post the names of all used songs?
I know that I can just find them through official soundtrack but I'm hella lazy rn
Edit: the King himself did this
Can we have the head crab image without the words? It’s so wonderfully terrifying.
Does someone have links to all these songs?
I have same question
I feel like this video encapsulates the C-Vid era perfectly for some reason.
