​​@@ferdinand5223hat crowbar lasted 2 whole games still, and so did barney's assuming that he gave his to gordon in episode one

[@amanofnoreputation2164]

I love how the strider's blade connects while Gordon is too far forward so he has to spaz out and get pushed back just like Raiden.

Gravity Gun backpack. You know, I'm honestly convinced he could do this if he actually got something like that to work.

[@wowalamoiz9489]

Imagine that during the Stryder sequence, when you're supposed to be finding the rocket launcher, you activate this cutscene by hitting the Stryder with your crowbar as it melees you with its legs

[@anotherrandomguy6012]

This is actually a genius idea for a mod!

[@wowalamoiz9489]

@@anotherrandomguy6012 Or for an Easter egg. Valve, take notes! And then the game proceeds normally as if you didn’t just do the impossible

Just imagine Breen as Senator Armstrong. Breen: *jumps out from the citadel* Slippery little bastard, i don't have time for this. And Gordon: *hitting Breen with the Crowbar non-stop* Breen: Combine Nanosynths son! It hardens in response to physical trauma, you can't hurt me Freeman. Or Breen: Am i finally getting through? *helps Gordon to stand up* I would rid this world of pointless resistances Gordon.

[@thetdmzack2929]

The first one: *Gordon hits breen across the face with the crowbar, only for Breen to chuckle.* What did I just say? *and Gordon is hit into the wall by Breen* Second: *Gordon leans forward, getting caught by Breen. Breen pats his back, thinking he did get through to the mute phsycho that is Gorden. Gordon then grabs Breen, and tossed him over his head, into a terminal.*

Maybe give Breen his own version of the HEV suit.

[@Cysco8575]

@@segismundosaulalex3065 Why give him a HEV suit when he can have Combine Techonology son! In all seriousness, that reminds me of the Beta HL2 where the Consul would turn into an abomination of flesh and technology just to be inmortal.

These are the stories Resistance Members tell each other about Gordon Freeman that make him so legendary. "I heard he took out a Strider with just a Crowbar and the Gravity Gun." "No way! By himself?"

Lore accurate!

Has he not figured out how to make himself fly with the gravity gun in lore? Feel like he'd figure that shit out to do things more effectively.

perfect adaptation of the mgr scene, this must be valves vision of half life 3's

[@hamps19]

Honestly? Bless you guys. How lucky am I to have my twitter timeline inundated with memes that are reaching the quality of the actual sequences. This is like 90% of the way there to the Revengeance gameplay. You show me this in 2004? I shit my pants. How much longer until you guys are making full fledged games... as a joke

[@Agm1995gamer]

For some reason in the source engine world the perception of size and depth is much better than in mgrr. Which makes the enemies far more scary.

[@themailman992]

this mans creations are way too perfect for humanity

[@greentwo6845]

I love the idea that all the crazy shit Gordon does in fan animation and speedrunning videos is all because it's the suit seeing it as the best way to survive the hazardous environment.

You know the best touch that not many see is the fact that this man got slapped by a building a few moments before he was tossed. Goes to show that he manipulated even the building in this shot. Great work 👏 👍 👌 💪 🙌 🥳

[@Enclaved_Official]

Love how Gordon went a little back for the animation as it was actual scripted gameplay moment
