seems like something alyx made when she was a youngster
maybe kleiner is her god father?
Yes, everywhere except in Texas it would be weirdricera10 said:Maybe kleiner and Eli's wife are related to each other...
On a side note, wouldn't it be weird if kleiner and and Eli were related?
You guys missed a spot on the city 17 thing. In the first level you hear someone saying
that's the thrid time he got replaced to a new city and that he liked city 9 better. I think he is the exact same guy you hear in the combine interrogation room before the slide is closed , saying something about a mistake
Yep, different guy, same voice actor.Barney_Calhoun said:It's a different guy.
Picture HereDavid Blaine Sighting?
In Black Mesa East, just after following Judith through the locked door, there is a chain link fence. Just as you get there, a citizen begins walking away from you on the other side. Noclip through the fence and follow him. At the end of the tunnel he just starts walking back and forth, stopping when he turns around to... levitate? Cool, eh? Probably just a bug? Take a closer look. The citizen bears a more than striking resemblance to David Blaine. Blaine's fans would know of his most infamous "street magic" illusions involving levitating a few inches off the ground.

It says "Port 5" in russian which i found really odd, because this is america, still, isnt it or did the communist take over? (makes you think)

About the location of the game... the amount of information given to us in the game doesn't even necessarily tell us that it's on Earth. Hear me out on this one:
Where was Black Mesa? I had always considered it to be somewhere in Arizona... perhaps Utah even, but always a Southwestern united state. (were we ever told where Black Mesa was in HL?)
Barney, Kleiner, Freeman and "The Eli Vance" were all in Black Mesa. Alyx tells us that Breen was our old Administrator in Black Mesa, as well... so he was there. Eli said Alyx and that picture were the only two things he could rescue from Black Mesa, so Alyx must've lived there with Eli and her mother.
Now, the best assumption I've made is indeed that City 17 is indeed SOMEWHERE in Europe. Judging by the Architecture, sewer systems (large ones like that seem to be typically european), various writing on buildings in Latin and Russian. The spelling of Nova Prospekt (with a K) is interesting and suggests a Russian influence. Interestingly a Google for "Prospekt" brings up that a main road in St. Petersburg, Russia is called "Nevsky Prospekt." Overwhelmingly we're pointed to Russia. Curious that people from other continents (the US) were exported to Russia, no? Also interesting to cover is that nobody in City 17 has any foreign accent that I can recall, outside domestic US. I'd have expected a "In Soviet Russa... Gravity Gun uses YOU!!" Have a look at some of the pictures at http://www.nevsky-prospekt.com/. Looks quite very familiar, no?
We know the Earth was attacked by an alien force (in-game newspapers illustrate that beyond doubt), and Earth surrendered. But if we just surrendered, why not lock everyone up in individual numbered cities nearby our original location? Specifically, why not lock up the Black Mesa employees in Arizona, or wherever we were? Were continents dessimated or rendered unihabitable? Was enough of the Earth's population murdered that everyone remaining on the planet could be contained in a few small cities in Russia?
At the point where we start discussing this comes the possibility that we're not even on Earth anymore in the game...
1) We're on Earth
2) We're not on Earth, or
3) None of this is real (unlikely I think, but a possibility)
I'm still wondering why the Vortigaunts refer to Eli as "The Eli Vance"... is it just a quirk they have or is it something more? We're "The Freeman/Free Man" maybe there's some significance in Eli that we don't know about. Curious that we're the only two names the Vortigaunts use (aside from Nihilanth)...

I also found something from the official HL2 Trailer. The UMF Sign, in "Follow Freeman!", outside of the Citadel Wall.
(Remember that part where the guy threw the F and U letters at the Strider, with the Gravity Gun? And everyone was laughing in the background about it)
