Reference/Inspiration: • Omni-Man drifts throug...
Thought about an idea if stasis for Gordon was actually as long as it felt

Hey btw Sony is Revenue "sharing" on this video because of the song (which means I'll barely be able to make any money off of it) So if you really want to support me, please consider being a patron. I post work in progress animations and sometimes finished ones before I release them on KZbin. patreon.com/Komegatze

also I'll get channel memberships up and running soon

I think he was in some sort of sleep but it would be so messed up if he was awake the entire time. 20 years of nothing. Horrifying.

[@Omega-jg4oq]

At least he didn’t age after 20 years and he is still at his 20 or 30.. wait, is that bad thing?

[@Flamme-Sanabi]

I guess sorta? It'd be a little messed if family and friends grew 20 years without ye.@@Omega-jg4oq

[@faxtersleapenson9711]

20 years of good sleep god bless g-man

[@K4RN4GE911]

I believe the widely accepted theory is that there wasn't any time to even dwell on the nothingness of stasis. G-man put him in and before Gordon could even blink, 20 years went by.

[@ZachNohKap]

@@K4RN4GE911 that makes more sense. But the. Again if they didn’t go by in an instance that would be horrific

I like how people have recently portrayed Gordon as an actual person with human emotions, rather as the stoic badass that everyone saw him as back in the day.

[@midgetman4206]

He's both. One doesn't have to forgo the other.

[@JoeDoherty-i8b]

More like people have realised that stoic badass are still people that feel rage, sorrow and joy.

It just hit me that from Gordon's perspective, he went from a train-car in the void to a train-car 20 years in the future. If I was Valve, I would've made HL2's opening train layout exactly the same as the one from HL1's end, meaning for Gordon the only change would be what's outside the windows.

[@wurlmon5191]

Let's hope that, somehow, HL3 begins in a train cart. Even if it's supposed to be a helicopter.

[@Caldoric]

Well, the windows and the people suddenly on the train with him...

[@LightWolfAMVS]

I think that was originally gonna happen in the beta

[@mrsquid_]

@@wurlmon5191 hl2ep2 began in a train cart. so far we have a pattern, making it reasonable not to have a train cart start in hl3

[@amideos8]

Beautiful music and wonderful setting of the shot where it is clear that Gordon Freeman literally was not given a chance, because there was only one desired answer. You can see how he silently makes ends meet, and in the end his time comes.

[@turaychu]

Well to be honest his mission was to put a stop to nihilanth he already knew that he was going to die so gmans decision is what kept him alive

[@amideos8]

@@turaychu This is an indisputably reasoned fact, because Gman saved his life, but one cannot deny the fact that not all of Gman’s decisions were made on his own initiative, the rescue of Gorodon Freeman was planned, and one cannot deny the fact that in the plot of the game his mysterious employers, which constitute Gman’s actions , while Gman personally makes his own amendments to the planned actions, agreed with the employers.

[@Wbfuhn]

If we look at HL: Alyx(spoilers) we see something not considered. Time travel. Rather than be in stasis for 20 years, he was sent to various locations in different points in time. This would mean he would have aged normally but sent to the future on certain missions, like Lost Coast.

[@ouch892]

Yeah.. but that's boringgg, let him suffer 20 years in solitude

[@ShawndaPrawn]

That’s…a terrifying thought. That would suggest that when Gordon woke up on the train entering City 17, he had, from his own perspective, only killed the Nihilanth 5 minutes beforehand.

[@Wbfuhn]

@@mr.101.8Fixed.

[@KazuoSasaki1317]

I like to think that Gordon was just experiencing the events of HL 1 on a loop in a dream like state during the whole duration of the stasis.

[@bernardovilera731]

Could be a lore explanation of the mechanics of saving and loading

[@SCP-mt7bc]

​@@bernardovilera731Yes, but he doesn't go into eatasis after half life 2 and in the episodes either.

[@cutetigger1037]

reminds me of GLaDOS in between the Portal games.

[@khornethebloodgod4155]

Would explain why he’s so deadly.

[@3333218]

According to the HL2 Beta that's exactly what happened. There's a cut map about Gordon's stasis where he experiences a bit of HL1 and HL2 at the same time on a loop, until the GMAN wakes him up.

[@Flamme-Sanabi]

"I don't remember you getting on."

[@perigee_vitz-wong]

So wild to think Gordon was in stasis just living through all of those images of the aftermath, then steps onto a train to see the words Point Insertion then Valve floating in front of him.

[@MadelineTheUndertaleVideogame]

The transition to point insertion is such a great touch, man i love your animations I also adore when people depict hl1's events and areas in higher quality so that xen part was really really cool imo

[@justhere4637]

Gordon with long hair? Also, I would like an animation of Gordon reacting to teleporting on the train at the start of half life 2.

[@stebex5052]

he had a ponytail in the first half life also if he stayed awake 20 years straight his hair would grow unless there was a weird stasis time alteration

[@justhere4637]

@@stebex5052 Yeah, it's just something I've never seen before, and it seems like a bit of an interesting idea.

The Omni Man angle is hilarious. Long haired Gordon was pretty cool too

[@rockyshelf8564]

“Time?, Dr Freeman. Is it really that time again?”

[@donkeysoxx]

when gordon was in orbit, was that an unintentional nod to 2001: a space odyssey?

[@Kaidona]

I'm suddenly reminded of a comment a friend of mine made once in relation to how I drew mouths, that I had a thing for them. I know this is partly because I'm very used to Gordon's Source 2 model, but something about this model's mouth is a little bit weird, possibly his upper lip. The prominent inner corners of his mouth on the Source 2 model drive me up a wall, probably because the model itself is unfinished and a little bloodless there. His hair looks great. Get up real close to his face and his eyebrows kill me, though. i'm so nitpicky

[@breadloaf176]

i like the idea gordon teleported above earth and saw the combine ships decend down to earth

[@NerdFuelYT]

sometimes I forget Gordon had a tiny ponytail and when I'm reminded I feel like vomiting

[@Кирилл-ы5р7я]

Have some rest, Gordon. You will have some work to do, soon. You're a highly trained professional, remember?

[@samuelsalvatore4511]

seeing gordon with his small ponytail is probably even weirder than seeing him with the hazmat suit helmet

[@_TheDoctor]

Okay, this might be my new favorite Gordon model.

[@Burning-man31]

This one shake me, keep it up mate, you're one of the best

[@Gordon_Freeman15]

I still can't believe that 2 decades meant for Gordon just 5 days or so

[@Komegatze]

If just the stasis it was probably more like a night of sleep at the most to him

[@KingThrillgore]

See, I imagined Gordon was actually subjected to watching poor man's recreations of tv shows like a VR re-creation of Breaking Bad by a bunch of jabronis attached to a trailer.

[@robertross45]

Reminds me how David Bowman from 2001 had similar fate, although actually much crazier (Bowman's biological clock was accelerated until death and then ressurrected as the Star Child).

Weird that this is the second half life video this month from which Sony gets Revenue "Sharing".

[@alejandrocamberosrodriguez4222]

I'm not sure if this is a reference to anything, but I love the subtext meaning at 1:32. Gordon looks tiny, like a speck of dust in space: at the same time, he's nothing but a pawn in a giant game of 5D Chess With Time Travel, a minor piece to be used and discarded. Imagine how Gordon must feel, so... insignificant... ...damn.

Im definitely commissioning someone to put this in as a modded intro to HL2. It’s too perfect not to be. Amazing job and if you do know how to make mods I’ll pay you to make this a mod. ❤

[@LT.Galperson]

personal head cannon is that for gordon it was about a second in between hl 1 and hl2 (but ya know 20 years had passed) and for Adrian... Adrian shepherd is still awake... stuck in a never ending hell where he does not age. only time will tell if he is ever freed from that hell

[@docktor.-den6134]

at least Gordon Freeman finally emerged from stasis. Adrian Shepherd is still there.

[@fantach3169]

beatiful

[@Tarik360]

I like to think that he didn't age for 20 or so years and that while in stasis he got to be in a nice apartment and take it VERY easy until he was called in again. Outside his window you'd see interdimensional weirdness though.

[@tremendousyeet3467]

Oh I see, the smooth model of Gordon at the start is made to distinguish his young self from the old him in Half Life 2.

[@pixelash1069]

I don’t know what it is but Gordon’s face just looks… off… it looks great! It just doesn’t look… human. The HL1 HEV suit is fabulous though!!!
