The name 'Gordon Freeman', hmmmm

[RoguePsi]

Hmm...Gordon Freeman ~> Sausages.... I can see a link.

Maybe his name should be Tarquin Sausageman.

I read in one of those 'name meaning' books once that gordon means 'hero'

Makes sense, simple enough reason to pick a name i reckon.

If i could name a hero?

Billy Squarkhard

Charles Burstypants

Henry Bobspoffin

Daniel Chesthardy


Hhahaha... "Mornin' mister squarkhard, looks like you're in the barrel today"

"Aaah Daniel Chesthardy, it's good to see you"

Aahhaha... i need to get out more

Parallax Normalmappin :E.

Well, it had to get into this thread somehow... it's infiltrated a lot of the others...

take out the "ordon free" n u get g-man

 

[Brian Damage]

Yes, people have said that before... however, G-Man most likely means "Government Man", and why would the G-Man give Gordon the option of dying at the end of HL if he was in fact Gordon?

 

[dæmon]

Obviously because if he was Freeman, he knows that he would take the other choice anyway!!!

If the G-Man turns out to be Freeman, I'll probably vomit all over the keyboard. :x

 

[Brian Damage]

Yes, but the thing is, you can actually choose the "Fight which cannot be won"...

If Gordon really was the G-Man, VALVe would have pulled some trick to force you into choosing employment...

 

[dæmon]

I know, I wasn't being serious. I meant that if the G-Man is Gordon from the future, he knows that Gordon will take the employment offer because he did as well. But then, you need another G-Man to have offered the G-Man we know a job.

(Assuming that people always take the same choice in time travel, but I'd rather not go in the details of that.)
