Tell me Doctor Freeman, if you can: you have destroyed so much, what exactly is it that you have CREATED? Can you name even one thing?
I thought not.

Hope.
I've created hope.
Hope
Not a real, tangible thing.
"I created the resonance cascade that started all this shit, so..."
Oh, so we're moving the goalposts now, are we Breen?
bitching out again Breen? fucking typical.
Resonance Cascade
/thread
That fits squarely into the "what you have destroyed" category, Doctor Freeman.
He's a job creator you mealy mouthed fuck, show some goddamn respect now wake up and smell my fucking ass
lmao still triggered you lost your lackey are we, G-Man? Cope, Alyx aint shit compared to Gordon.
Hope in what exactly? Remember the war that didn't even last a day? How can humanity 'hope' to win by force a second time? False hope is just a fancy way to say lie Doctor Freeman.
Breen did nothing wrong
This. Without m-I mean, without Dr. Breen the Universal Union or "Combine" would have simply eradicated humanity in the blink of an eye. Without Dr. Breen's tireless efforts to convince the Combine of the potential of a Transhuman branch of the Combine Overwatch, there would be NO humanity left to save.
Oh yeah well here's a guy I pulled out of stasis just 4u, FAGGOT
>How can humanity 'hope' to win by force a second time?
Pro tip: by Episode 2 they've already effectively won. The Combine still on Earth are a garrison stranded forever once the rebels launch the rocket and close the portal. All that's left is to destroy the Borealis and mop up the remnants of the Combine forces on Earth (which nobody could ever do since the Combine's full might was just a wormhole away).
That said, Earth's fauna and ecology is forever fucked hard with countless species and ecosystems exterminated or ruined by Xen creatures or Combine manipulation. But at least nobody will have to eat water-flavored rations anymore.
Ow
A rebel Human instinctive BMRF scientist professor and theoretical physics doctorate was teaching a class on Gordon Freeman, known anticitizen
"Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Freeman and accept that he was the most opportunely timed being the world has ever known, even greater than Wallace Breen!"
At this moment, a memory erased, patriotic, pro-universal union Overwatch soldier who had served 1500 tours of duty and understood the necessity of the suppression field and fully supported all military decisions made by the Universal Union stood up and held up a model of a man.
"What's the greatest endeavor?"
The arrogant professor smirked quite instinctively and smugly replied "our biological imperative and doing your part"
"Wrong. It’s collaboration. If it is instinct, would we model ourselves on the Trilobite? Did the lungfish refuse to breathe air?"
The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of Raising the Bar. He stormed out of the room crying those reactionary and fearful tears.
The students applauded and all joined the metropolice that day and accepted Our Benefactors as their savior. An Advisor named "Universal Union" flew into the room and perched atop the combine emblem and shed a tear on the supply crate. Humanity's surrender was read several times, and Our Benefactors themselves showed up and enacted immortality across the species.
The scientist lost his rations and was relocated the next day. He died of the preventable plague age (when immortality is in our reach), and was tossed into a layer of broken plastic shards thinly strewn across a fossil bed, sandwiched between the Burgess shale and an eon's worth of mud for all eternity.
Be safe, Be aware
Not unless the Combine reach the Borealis first. And at any rate the world at that point is so beyond fucked Humanity is already in for an massive extinction event one way or the other.
Didn't Gordon give Vorts freedom?
you're creating a fucking hole in my head with your rambling would you shut the fuck up

Nothin personnel man
The C17 citadel reactor was their only way to power a portal, any other citadels either don't have the infrastructure to do so or don't exist since the citadel lore is still kind of spotty. The Combine's last chance to ring home was the portal from the citadel's destruction-- after it was closed they were hopeless aside from the Borealis's teleportation.
I stand correct My Freeman.

Truly the original shitposter.
>name me one (1) thing you made other than xxx
>just one
You're right, Breen. I haven't created a single thing.
After the moment I woke up on the transfer train, I wiped out multiple precincts of Civil Protection, slaughtered Combine across the entire road to Lighthouse Point, and utterly annihilated Nova Prospekt and it's Depot. Even the road to the Citadel, to You, has been filled with the deaths of Soldiers and Synths.
But I don't need to create. Right now, humanity doesn't need creators. It needs destroyers.
Dismantling the system which holds Earth in a vice grip, the machine you are just another cog in, will create the only opportunity we have for the world to stop being hapless slaves. Sure, the Combine will grant you immortality. They'll show you the power of a post-singularity society. But in no universe will it be in a way legitimately beneficial for us.
When they show their true colors, you'll wish you'd had died on the battlefields of the Seven Hour War instead of selling us out.
a big ass hole in nova prospekt where your teleporter room used to be
A lot of good hope will do you when the combine bring down the hammer
No,
YOU FOOL
I think the Combine just piggybacked on the dimensional rift created by the resonance cascade in HL1. They since created the Citadel to create portals because the rift wouldn't last forever.
I made lots of piss and cum
Can you imagine being gordon. No time passed for him in stasis, this entire ordeal probably only took about a business week. Monday he's late to work, friday he's overthrown the rule of an interdimensional alien empire, and never once stopped for a piss break
Is that all our "enlightened" leader has to say against what I speak? An ad hominem?
You were a terrible boss even back in the Black Mesa days. The combination of boosted power and an unstable sample granted by an anonymous benefactor we had no information on should have been suspicious, but you let my colleagues greenlight it and me be the catalyst for it- if you were even aware of it.
And how did you survive, in any case? Did you run away, like a coward? Put yourself in front of the evacuation lines instead of going down like a captain and his ship?
It's astonishing how your apparent rationale and intellect hides so much arrogance and incompetence. You'd probably say I don't understand anything. But in reality, you don't understand us.
Yeah but they should have the coordinates by now, they are dimensional conquerors after all, the rift was just a flare in the dark.
Was the grub monster that died at the end of HL Alyx Dr. Breen?
Warning. Piss bottle integrity critical.
No, it's the one of the two generic Combine Advisors who kill Eli Vance.
Flaming tennis ball launcher.
DID YOU EVEN READ MY FUCKING CV YOU USELESS BEAN COUNTER?
Chad.
Earth might not even be important enough to invest the effort into finding again. The Combine are massive guys [for you], Earth is just a drop in the bucket of their empire. The only thing Earth has that they really want is the teleporter technology that humans invented
Ironic that he who accuses of ad hominem then does it himself, not the only example of hypocrisy I see. You call me arrogant, yet you are the one standing in the path of progress, keeping humanity still. You call me incompetent, yet you are biting the hand that feeds you, that allows you to live. I've done all I can to create peace with our benefactors, but now, well it looks like the only thing you've truly created is the final nail in humanity's coffin. Hopefully one day you can understand, if you can make it that long that is.
weird how gordon is in the HEV suit here. this means that the gman undressed him to put him into the usual City 17 outfit.
it's the hl2 suit you retard
there was no time travel the entire game takes place in stasis in the seconds during/after eli dies
Because they're kicked off the planet with no way of returning.
im pretty sure thats just the moment gordon stands up after eli dies/doesnt die
That was always the case though. At the end of HL Gman tells you that the suit is yours, as you earned it. Then you wake up in HL2 without it.
oh ok i suppose that makes more sense than gman gordon gay sex scene
Because if one guy can single-handedly defeat the combine then there's hope
Breen did nothing wrong.
That's like saying a small squad of soldiers in the middle east getting defeated by isis means they can take the whole US military. And Gordon didn't do it alone.
>without gordon: lose in a single day
>with gordon: resistance makes real progress
it's almost like hope is exactly what he's created
is it too much to ask for a webm of this that doesnt look fucking retarded
That's because of g-man, "the right man in the wrong place". Literally a massive coincidence of victory, without g-man humanity has lost its lottery luck.
He really didn't. It was either annihilation or enslavement. There were no good options to pick from. But can't the combine just make another portal from one of their conquered universes?
