man i cant believe, you think alyx want's SEX with gordon!
By the marks we've seen, she has fallen in love with him.
It's nothing about SEX! LOVE and SEX are two separated thinks, trust me i know.
and if you think that when in love you do sex, well in certain point yes, but not at all, like you geeks think it has to be.
get a girl friend dammit! :flame: "gordon's child"...yeah sure...your hamburger in pain AZZ.

First of all none of us know who you are so we cant exactly trust you, and well done for stating the obvious, in case you hadn't noticed, we were having a laugh :sleep:

Well sometimes in a relationship if the couple can't take it much longer..& that they don't want to wait until marrage to have sex then they do it.

Also there is a saying & it goes like "I **** on first date!"


If they are that deeply inlove they will do it if they want to. Eli wont stop her lol. Eli is pushing her to do it seems like.
 
This topic is beating around the bush. The fact is that Gordon is frightened of girls. He's just helping her out so he can spend more time with Dog.
 
im pretty sure it just made every male and female infertile like nuclear radiation does. not completely so, as once the field is down they seem to be able to get straight back to it :p I cant really imagine it as anything else, unless the combine make everyone wear force-field underwear.. :S
 
Well I hate to get technical about things but......I heard if you a guy that works with toxins, harmful chemicals, radiation & other harmful chemicals, Also if your not careful it might have some bad effects such as doing some crazy shit to the man's sperm...So for us it would be a risk to "Get busy." because your chances of getting a woman pregnant are very slim...Which I learned in child psychology today :cheese:.


So if Gordon wanted to live on the Freeman name with anybody...it would be kinda hard because he's a guy that deals with Harmful chemicals & such....it does'nt matter that he wears a special HEV-suit because it dpoes'nt come with a helmet.
 
Helmet... no more.. helmet discussions...
I wonder how vortigaunts reproduce. I dont think ive seen anything that looks like a woman vort... do they reproduce asexually? hmm...

They might be reproducing just by thinking about *it*. So long for Vortigaunt porn industry. :)
 
I vote for Vortigaunts making new vortigaunts of of Xen rock.
 
I don't want to contemplate Vortigaunt reproduction. But that said they seem to be asexual.
 
100% of the vortigaunt population seem to be all male. They're all copies of themselves it seems.

That's because they are hive-species no need for individuality...and for performance and cutting devolopment time of the game itself :p

They spawn out of the fabric of the vortessence itself turning into multidimensional no time constraint seeing creatures.
 
Yeah. Like dwarves. Who's to say that only Vorts recognize the difference between male Vorts and female Vorts? (Check Terry Pratchett's Discworld Dwarfs for more information on this concept. But to be brief... both sexes have massive beards.)
 
Haha, that certainly is true. Maybe they DO think themselves into existence.

"Hmm. Today is a good day. I shall reflect upon myself."

*POP*

"Dammit! I hate it when I think my-selves into existence!"

Actually in fifth elephant it is said that they can't tell the difference and that breeding is a long, compicated and embarrasing proccess. All dwarfs are dwarfs, not men and women.
 
DWARVES! FOR GODS SAKE, IT'S WRITTEN DWARVES!!!

I think vortigaunts breed by laying large, fleshy eggs... which are then later inseminated. However, for all we know, the vortigaunts can be hermaphroditic.

Not a hive species. Not a hive species. Not a hive species. I wish the strategy guide chose better wording for its vortigaunt profile, because a hive mind is in direct opposition to what vortigaunts are. They are empathic, not hive-minded. Individual vortigaunts have their own personalities, it's just that being in continuous mental contact with every other member of your race leads you to think of yourself as part of a whole, rather than a singular entity. It's not hive-mindedness though because there is no suppression of self, and furthermore vortigaunts are not complete copies of each other because certain vorts excel in different areas. Some make better scientists than warriors, for example. Some are better poets and philosophers. Some know how to prepare a delicious headcrab stew better than their fellows.

Oh and, originally, vortigaunts had different voices.

Heh, I like that idea. Born astrally and then given physical form. They do inherit the memories of their dead, after all.

Reading that gave me a wild idea. What if vortigaunts laid eggs that already had developing fetuses in them, but they had to give the eggs shocks to get everything going? Jumpstarting them, essentially.
 
Knife = Knives
Dwarf = Dwarves

Anyways, Darkside, I can say that is a plausible explanation, seeing how vortigaunts can manipulate the power, and can be seen for instance, powering up the generators in Black Mesa East, apart from dealing damage.

Plus, the absence of any reproductive organs on the outside suggests an egg-based procreation... as well as the apparent non-presence of sexual dymorphism.

For there to be male there must be female. What you said is a complete contradiction.

Starfish no need female. they all jsut 1 gender. STARFISH GENDER!!!
They reproduce asexually, usually meaning they either cut off their arm, which grows back, and another vort is grown from the arm, or forts have both male and female reproductive organs and do it when they want. Of course, I dont think it would be quite smart to have to raise a baby (anyone seen a vort baby?) in a war-like envirement.

I'm pretty sure it actually kept people from being able to get it on.

Why else do you think everybody was so depressed?

LOL dude... yeah they looked like "oh well here comes another strider, i dont mind"

err... i think i replied so damn late
 
I am just wondering what the combine intend to do with the suppression field. Do they intend to kill of all humans by preventing them from breeding and then ransack earth for it resources then move on or is it just another way to oppress humans by making them depressed.
 
Flipping the coin set my indicator for Dwarves, so it's DWARVES! :bounce:

Both actually...
 
They were actually going to assimilate the human species, like the many other races they have conquered. Humans would then become part of their "Synth" forces. (This is also why the enemy are called "Combine")
 
Weird that all synth forces end up being that weird yellowish colour. Except the hunters. And the human synths.
