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.

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
    • SpaceX has secured a significant cloud-services deal with Google, agreeing to a monthly payment of $920 million for computing power.  This agreement, covers approximately 110,000 NVIDIA GPUs and other components.... https://cio.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/investments/google-to-buy-computing-from-spacex-at-920-million-per-month/131543026    
    • no thanks is overpriced and its not the fastest ram neither.
    • It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
