    I wonder if people who start with 2 won't really get what's going on with the G-man. (Well, no one does, but how Gordon and him met and how he his under his employ and control seem pretty central to the Half Life 2 arc, what with "Did you know your contract was up to the highest bidder" and the Vortigaunt power struggle and all that.)

    I'm sure it's hard to go and play HL1 as it is for the first time today. Here's hoping Black Mesa doesn't suck.

    Also, I did not know that, I haven't played any of the Half-Life games. Does this mean something is spoiled for me?

    Oh he played the shit out of HL1 back in the day, just became all artsy and guitar playing in university so he never picked up HL2 when it came out.

    It's okay, I don't expect people to spoiler old popular game stuff unless they're really key spoilers, like that part in Bioshock. I am just giving you a hard time.

    So no-one is in the slight bit suspicious that Alyx and Eli look nothing alike

    And Alyx and the G-man are clearly genetically similar

    I mean come on, now you have all heard it i urge you to skip to the cutscenese of the hl series, search on youtube, and you will see the game in a whole new light

    She may pull off a mask or something, depends the G-man may have had sex with a human, he did say he plucked her from someone so maybe he had her with a scientist at black mesa.

    See this is why this thread cant have serious conversations and descends into anarchy, i raise valid points and serious debate, new ideas and sepculation and you all go off on one and start going all loopy with it taking it to extremes. Instead id rather you counter my points, but that doesnt seem to be in you guys remit, rather you all flip out and act like a drunk at a wedding

    Alyx is the love child of Zoey and Louis, kidnapped by zombies at the age of three, then rescued at the age of 5 by G-man (who himself was once a zombie before being liberated from zombie-dom by a reverse head crab). G-man erased her memory, then transported her into the future where he felt she would be able to pursue a lucradive career as a jeans model. Of course, then Gordon fucked everything up.
