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.

    • Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

    • So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
    • What I can't seem to understand is that Google are paying SpaceX? Surely it would be the other way round, with SpaceX needing Google's datacenters etc.? Oh well, this level of money and power is way outside of my comprehension at the best of times.
