G-MAN tricks?

[PHATXUIQ]

At the end of the game, the Gman what it seems slows the time, and everything goes dark around u and u can't move. When he began to walk away from u in darkness, whats seems like a door would slide and light would shine through it! He passes the door and it closes and no more light.

Are u thinking what I am thinking?. All those stars and yet there is a door? Could it be a room where they keep Gordan strapped like a slave? LOL. It seems like the explosion and all were part of the room. Like the explosion never happened.

I know they all happened for real, but I can't help but think that the room that makes Gordon go to hypersleep, I dunno. Whoever the Gman superiers, I would like to be them, wait no, I am the his superior.

I think the ending (the white door) was supposed to be metaphorical rather than literal. It was also (IMHO) a referance back to the train journeys that started both games, the idea of being on rails, not controlling where you are going, is a central theme to both games, and I think that is why track based transport features prominantly (eg the ride through The Citadel).

It was just like al in quantum leap!
waait a minute! "Al" was Sams guide on his journey - just like the gman
the gman is impervious to physical attack - al was a hologram
its all making sense!

Gordon "leaps" into times when he is needed to alter the outcome of events....

VALVE ARE MAKING A QUANTUM LEAP GAME!!!

"sam becket stepped into the quantum leap accelerator"
Gordon freeman stepped into the mass spectrometer!

Sorted!

LOL, yet he is still in some hologram?????

 

[pickers]

The gman is the hologram al
gordon is the "leaper" sam!

The gman sees himself as solid and the world around him as a hologram as he is in a hologram generation room in the quantum leap control center (hence the weathergirl/lecturer style pointing to alyx that the gman seems to use). Gordon - the leaper, is in the real world of the past and sees the gman aas a hologram.
makes sense to me .

The G-man only appears to be a hologram at the start and end of the game. On places between he moves around just like any other person, looking just like any other person.

Weird...

On the Quantum Leap comparisons, G-Man is a lot like both Al's. Both Al Calavicci and Bartender "God, Time, or Whatever" Al in the last episode.

...what the hell are you talking about?



the idea of gordon being in a VR room the whole time, and the GMan turning off the game and turning off the lights and leaving him there seems appealing.

Really? That'd seem like a cop-out to me but I'd like to know more about why you'd like (or even prefer?) it.
