G-Man Sightings, Official Thread

I realize there is a "G-Man About Town: Checklist" that is under the ANOMALOUS MATERIALS section of the Prima Guide. That said, this thread is mainly for those who either do not have access to the guide or just want to know where you can find G-Man about town (and 2 other locations that I found that are not necessarily discussed in the checklist).

I took these images while playing through the game.

1. Intro: Wake up and smell the ashes.

* - denotes the locations not mentioned in the checklist.

= - denotes the new sightings line.

What do you guys think of the G-Man sighting off Highway 17?! He is talking to Colonel Odessa Cubbage... and based on the guide, "...much about the Colonel is open to question: from his slightly askew mustache, to his supposedly British accent, which many suspect is as false as the military exploits with which he regales his followers." I wasn't too sure of this fella either. Do you think he would make an appearance in the future story -- or is he too small of a part to base any strong opinions?

Anyways, I thought this was interesting and worth taking a look at, as well as that mysterious agent who is not quite comfortable with human speech. :)

EDIT - New Sighting Possibility #1

I'm not positive this is a G-man sighting because of the distance and you dont have zoom on the main menu but take a look at this picture. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v509/Bobw34sfs/background060000.jpg
Wait at that main menu for 20-30 secs and stare at the window i circled in red. You see a guy walk over pause then he just kinda dissapears like the G-man does. I think you can make a briefcase out in his hand but its so far away. Anyone else notice this one?

Nice observation buhj54, I past that background loading screen while playing through the game -- maybe we'll get some confirmation.

EDIT - Sighting Possibility #1 Confirmed!
The man in the window is not G-Man, but in fact a woman civilian.

Proof below thanks to Caboose :)

That's what I found on the other side.

Making a change from all the Deathmatch threads, found your long-awaited 13th sighting. In Anticitizen One at one point some citizens are pulling down one of the massive Dr. Breen screens, and the Gman flashes on it repeatedly and briefly. Hard to take screenies as it flashes fairly quickly, but it's definitely him.

EDIT - Sighting Possibility #2 Confirmed!
The blurry image poses a very close resemblance to my 5th sighting (http://img100.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img100&image=d1_canals_060076.jpg). Thus, becomes the 13th sighting!

Thanks to Outlandish and mace1337 :D Excellent discovery you two!

Ok, so i've played the level, made a movie with fraps, opened in vdub, and forwarded it frame-by-frame....

I think this is G-Man, but it's very blurry, anyway, who else in this game wears a blue suit with a tie?

I really like what you guys are coming up with... again, refrain from using cheats to propose your sighting(s) -- description good, pictures better. Using cheats to confirm a new sighting is fair game as far as I'm concerned ;)

Side note:
If you find the layout of my thread confusing please PM me. Thank you.

Been posted, and these aren't the Steam forums.

But still useful for the retards that can't find it for themselves. We have a lot of those here :(

I know what you are talking about, the picture that Kleiner adjusts to open his eye scanner. The man on the far right is a scientist from Half-Life, but good eye.

Hey man, when you quoted the sighting from my initial post; it did not copy correctly so the image only loads www.imageshack.us, but yea, that is one of the main points I address, also in the initial post.
 
I know this isn't the G-man but the first time through the game I thought it was :D

im not sure about the level (i think ravenholme), but there's a place where you're in a building and you can hear a sound like a tv going, and there is a door to the right that goes into a room that is full of rubble. to the right is a tv that has the gman on it for a half second before turning off. if someone can tell me how to take a screenshot in game i'll post a pic of it on this thread.
 
What part of the game is that picture from??

What chapter is it, because I don't remember that part of the game
 
Dude I dont remember that part either. Thats weird, where is it from?

Just press F5 to take a screenshot.

The screenshot I posted is from the Black Mesa East elevator.
