Hey...I don't like crying :(

Comeuppance
Now that you mention it, the people that I know that won't shut up about how much they love this game are also the same people that have self-esteem issues and/or are lonely.

I mean, I love this game, pinnacle of game design and all that, but they'll bring it up in every third conversation.

But, yeah, Alyx Vance falling in love with a mute is a bit hilarious. I spent most of her dialog saying "don't care" out loud and shooting her with my otherwise-unused pistol. She likes tough love, it would seem.

Pinnacle of game design?

Except for every goddamned part with the goddamned gravity gun. That is horrible game design. Especially the part where you ONLY have the gravity gun only now it's MAGIC

Oh I want to smash Gabe Newell's fat face when I think about that part of HL2.

Camonk, you are crazy. I have come to this conclusion based on teh crazy things you wrote.

Keefu
why do you hate fun

Keefu
are the parts with the gravity gun bad because you are terrible maybe

Comeuppance
Apparently, episode 3 will be the last installment in the HL2 series. At this rate, it'll be 2020 before they release HL3 and reveal that he's just some semi-omnipotent creature that is subtly and often not-so-subtly psychically manipulating you and those around you to his own ends. Those ends, coincidentally, are beneficial to the resistance movement and the overall well-being of humanity.

Oh, yeah, spoiler alert.

G-Man is basically Gordon's agent. We knew this from the end of the fucking first game in 199fucking6. He's the motherfucking /G/-Man;he sets Gordon off like a fuse, then escapes to plausible deniability on his metaphysical higher dimensional hide-out/Q Continuum, while Gordon defies odds that would make C3PO during the asteroid chase in Empire Strikes Back look like the model of calm complacency.

G-Man is a betting man. And Gordon was Green Double Zero in HL1. He already put all his chips on The Big G Freeman twice, and won both spins. In the end, I'm guessing G-man's overarching plans gloss over small details like what becomes of our particular dimensional universe. Gordon is just a particularly exceptional and exploitatable specimen of a species of a world of a galaxy of a universe among grains of sand on a beach. Gordon is That Guy.

That's some raconteurish patter for talking about something so extremely dorky

Let's not get you started talking about Pokemon!
