I heard he's in the camera when youre in Dr. Kleiners lab the first time if you cycle it. Maybe I'll get a pic..

Yup, he's standing next to the fense on the first camera you select. He also appears on a TV near the beginning of the game when you drop down into the old traincar housing a rebel and one of the vortigaunts. He appears on a TV again near the end of the game, theres some creepy music playing in the background.

So far the only 2 times I've seen him, although I havent finished my second time through yet and I wasnt being observant my first time through.

How do you attach pictures so they show up in the post like that? Yeah, a noob question but I might as well learn now to save the trouble... I tried before and it didn't work.

I always thought G-Man WAS an alien,

I mean, How come he never dies in the fray of battle? Including HL 1.

I like the hologram theory, But I don't think its true...

Actually, one of the best descriptions of the G-Man comes from the Half-Life 1 manual, where theres like a report that says something like "this weird government guy has been hanging around lately for some unknown reason." It says a lot more but I just can't remember it since its been so long since I looked at the manual my friend had. But obviously hes more than just a government man.

Here is an idea guys, let's all post our screenshots of the G-Man. He's freaky and mysterious, so it sounds like a good idea. I don't have any by the way but I did see him once when I was looking in the combine soldiers' binocular stand thingy when it was pointed at a rebel camp or w/e. He was talking to one of the citizen rebel people.

when you get into the airboat and head towards the base in the red barn which is taken over by zombies, he is standing up on top of it.  i didn't think to take a shot when i saw it...

all I repeat all g-man sightings are in the Prima Half-Life 2 Strat guide

I don't know if they changed the ending of the game after that blooper with the upload of the HL2 storyline with the CS:Source Steam distribution, but if I heard right, in the first version of the storyline, G-Man was supposed to be Gordon Freeman himself back from the future. (That's just what I heard, I haven't seen the script myself and I haven't played the game either, YET).

Wasn't that just Valve messing with us?

Im not real sure which theory I beleive about the G-Man, but he bears a strong resemblance to the Smoking man from the X-Files. It would be cool to play an expansion that would explain his history. Who does he work for? We can only speculate at this point.

    • I think this will appeal to a lot of enthusiasts. If the thermals are similar to those of a single system in a compact case, many people running multiple systems may choose to combine them into one machine, provided the case footprint remains reasonable.
    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
