Magnusson= hillarious

[57210788]

This has probably already been covered but since I just played though EP2 in the past couple of days I always stayed away from this part of the forum so I wouldn't see spoilers.

Anyway is it just me or is Magnusson one of the absolute best characters ever in this game. He's great. I need more of him and his great one liners in EP3.


"What are you waiting for.... a hug?"

 

[Lizardizzle]

I thought Eli's crack to Alyx and Gordon about he could use some grandchildren now that the supression field's down was perfect.

 

[Xevrex]

"What are you waiting for.... a hug?"

"If I am correct, and I have no reason to doubt myself..."

I quoted him in my class in school. Everyone agreed with that quote. >.>

 

[ríomhaire]

"Don't say 'Of course.' We can't take anything for granted!"
"Of course...not."
"Argh!"

 

[57210788]

I'd love to have both he and Kleiner following me for a while in EP3 arguing all the way.

I don't rememberthe exect quote but I also really liked where he was explaining the naming of the new weapon and how it pleased the workers or something to that effect.

 

[Shift]

'And get that infernal creature OFF MY NOSE CONE!'

 

[ríomhaire]

"Oh my rocket it works! It works! I told you it would work! I knew it would work! I'M A GENIUS!"

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

"Its called the Magnusson device. Not my chosen label of course, but is seemed to please the personal."

Yeah, I bet it did after Magnusson got the rubber hoses out.

 

[97AndyMacK]

I found him annoying, the first time round. :/

 

[Lizardizzle]

I like when magnusson tells the guys in the mag device room to get the teleporters ready, so one of them get up and give the "hei, Hitler"sign to him as he walks. It's great. XD

 

[The Mild Gatsby]

"We call it the Magnusson device...not my chosen name you understand, but it seemed to please the personnel."

Yeah, right, you ham.

 

[eyefork]

Yeah I could easily use some more Magnusson in Episode 3, I thought he was hilarious

 

[Omnomnick]

"Oh my rocket it works! It works! I told you it would work! I knew it would work! I'M A GENIUS!"

'Now...umm, Magnusson......'

 

[57210788]

I missed that one. Oh well I'll just have to play through it again.

 

[Lizardizzle]

^^^ Yeah, it's pretty quick. And you have to be NOT paying attension to magnusson, which is hard because he constantly nags you.

 

[Otto-Grainer]

It was just a salute, really. I wouldn't say he was trying to mock him or anything.

You KNOW what incident I'm talking about. The one in Black Mesa involving a certain microwave casserole?

I'm going to replay the beginning of HL1 ASAP to see which random scientist is in the break room with the microwave.

 

[Ubik]

I think Magnusson is my favorite half life character (besides the gman of course).

someone already has it on youtube. Something like "funny things I've noticed in half life 2" or some tag like that. he says something like "What are you doing?!!"

 

[Shift]

I played through it not too long ago, Im pretty sure he says 'Now look what you've done!' lol.

 

[57210788]

You would think that he'd be more pissed about the resonance cascade, the death of most of his fellow workers, untold destruction and earth's enslavement than the casserole being too hot.

Doesn't a black guy say it?

 

[G(ordon)-man]

No,that Einstein-guy says it.

 

[InfernalVortex]

I kept expecting him to be the stereotypical dodgy new character who the other characters vouch for but will eventually betray you, confirming your suspicions. But then it became fairly obvious he was there for comic relief and I relished it. I always loved the comment about the naming of the Magnussen device also. Also the comment where he's whining about how his workers can't take care of the crow problem, so he has sent Gordon in was pretty funny... and who can forget the grudge over the casserole incident?

 

[G(ordon)-man]

dammit a digger! Get him a achievment

My mistake, I was looking at a more recent thread at teh same time, didn't notice that I posted to an old one. That's what I get for using the search I guess.

 

[G(ordon)-man]

yea it happened to mee too once. Exept that it was a 1 year old thread!
