Originally posted by Darkside55 A lot of people are inclined to believe that the line "You are man...he is not man. For you he waits, for you," is evidence of the G-Man's extraterrestrial origin. Most people, having never heard Nith speak the line in the game, only hearing it while browsing the pak0.pak file, assume that it must've been something left out to keep the G-Man's secret exactly that, until HL2 or HL3. Fact is, Nith says it when he teleports you away from him for the fourth time.
I discovered this while playing through HL again recently, like most other people did when news of HL2 came out. I'd never heard Nihilanth say the line before, having killed him quickly and with only one teleportation incident my first time playing the game four years ago, but I was so dead tired after an almost two-nighter of HL that I kept forgetting to dodge his teleport projectiles. Fourth time that thing hit me, he sent me to the third area again. But this time, who should be waiting for me to fall from the sky into his fiery claws? The Gargantua. A Garg was standing around, watching me fall from the air right onto a bounce pad. The Garg is definately not a man, but he was definately waiting for me.
Thus, I believe that this is what Nith was speaking of. G-Man may have a funny way of talking but I don't think he's an alien. Maybe he's just really theatrical with his speech?
