What is this "THING"

[shark]

The thing in the moniter breen is talking to. Combine is my assumption, who else would he be talking to. What do you think it is?

i think its called the Combine Advisor the prima guide describes it as "a giant, green, sluglike enity with the gift of telekinesis"

Our benefactors, who if Valve has an ounce of brains, I will get to tear a new asshole for in HL3.

Bastards.

Well wait a second...

If all the "live video" shots are actually rooms with models doing a real-time rendering of the scene, wouldn't there be a room off somewhere with this thing in it?

I guess it's just a static image, not moving?

This is what i get out of the combine thing. Maybe they are insects. All their vehicles are insect like. Would you consider a slug to be an insect?
