Hidden face in Episode 2 GCF

credit to darkgoten on steam powered forum for this:

I was browsing "episode 2 content.gcf" when I stumbled upon an 'Advisor.jpg' (root\ep2\models\Advisor.jpg). I saw what I thought was just jpg artifacts along the left side of the picture, until I noticed it formed a face.

who do you think it is?

 

[Sedako]

I think it's Rosie O'Donnell.

 

[Crash Happy]

Spooky. Wearing glasses aren't they?

 

[Tomu]

The true leader of the whole Universal Union and the advisors.

The true leader of the whole Universal Union and the advisors.
Or it could be Breen!


Sh*t double post srry.

 

[Pesmerga]

Virgin Mary

Here's a photoshop of it for added ease:

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

Hmmm...It could be Breen, but its very difficult to tell. Gah, if I had the PC version I'd look at this myself.

Yeah he/she/it's wearing glasses I think. Maybe an older Kleiner?

 

[CAPGuy]

Egad, that is creepy. Nice catch, simonjedi.

 

[Rossell]

Looks like GMan to me.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

It's Frohman.

 

[SpectreBlofeld]

I bet it's one of the developers 'signing' his artwork.

 

[Destructo-Bot]

 

[Xendance]

Its clearly the G-man.

 

[DESSTROYER]

looks like one of the doom 3 scientists IMO

*EDIT*

 

[Para]

-pic-

Was clicking the link in my post too much for you?

 

[giant384]

its Morgan Freeman!!!!

 

[attorney general]

Kinda looks like janet reno

Lmao..

 

[GM)Paravin.]

It's O' Neal!

 

[Tagaziel]

G-man

 

[comradpoplin1]

freaky!!!!

 

[Pinkle]

Holy shit, that's creepy/awesome!! Certainly doesn't look like anyone we've seen in HL...

 

[monkeyclass]

Certainly it's something valve did on purpose. further character? Dont think so.

Joke from valve? I think so

 

[soulslicer]

exactly what i thought. How the heck does valve have all the time to add in all this extra stuff and easter eggs here and there. my god... (see here, xendance, 3 dots, as you wished)

 

[97AndyMacK]

Joke, yes.
GMan, looks like him dunnit.

Relevance to story, probably none at all.

 

[DESSTROYER]

Why doesn't someone email valve?

 

[diluted]

Gman's dad.

 

[Hondo]

Stephen Hawking?

 

[Hondo]

If that's not Stephen Hawking, I still swear I've seen that face before. For some reason I'm thinking scientist or politician.

 

[McGooTheWise]

It does kinda look like hawking...

*EDIT* This is the closest I could get of him to how that picture looks.

 

[McGooTheWise]

Sorry, double post.

 

[Psychanalysis05%]

To me, it looks absolutely nothing like the GMan. I'm actually thinking it's the person who originally became that Advisor. The way Breen was talking about a 'host body' leads me to think that people's minds are absorbed into an Advisor and each one is an individual hive mind comprised of minds they specifically have absorbed.

I'm thinking yet another BM scientist.

 

[Cpt Tenacious]

hawking!

 

[ShadowX]

Strangely enough, I think it IS Steven Hawking. >_<

 

[cyk]

I fired off an email to Gabe, so we'll see if we get a response.

 

[theotherguy]

woah, looks just like stephen hawking

 

[PortalStormzzzz]

Chell + 20 years?

 

[Hondo]

I really think that might be Stephen Hawking. Which begs the question: why in the hell is he in a picture of a combine advisor?!

 

[jpventoso]

...or Sigmund Freud?? lol.



nvm.

It makes more sense if it was Hawking, because of the worm holes, and space-time deformation and stuff.
