The only character that has a canonical explanaiton to despawning.

I like how in the first game gman looks like just some ordinary business man but as the game progresses he appears in weirder places each time

The creepiest part of the Half Life series is that G-man, a character that seems to have unlimited powers and knowledge, is "just an employee"

I love how with Barney's only interaction with G-man, he isn't even looking at him. Honestly my favorite part about Blue Shift, you aren't important, you're just a security guard trying to leave.

1:12 The cut was perfect

I like that his first couple sightings are normal, but then he begins to appear in locations that make you wonder if he is something more than a man with a briefcase.

The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world...

Honestly with how cool Gman is I don’t want his origins revealed he’s one of those characters who should be speculated for years to come and remain one of the most mysterious characters in gaming history

1:12 Random Doctor: Aah..Its good to see you Gordon: bye.

They finally fixed the hl2 gman hairline

they gotta make half life 3 now, they don't just end on "come on gordon, we got work to do" without having it in the works

"Comedy is all about correct timing." 1:12

What freaks me out most about him is that he’s always there and always watching you, not fighting with you or against you, just watching

Man, Half-Life 2 wasn't even creepy, it was downright fucking scary. Source games have always had that eerie lonesome atmosphere, but top that off with the knowledge that G-Man is following you around and it feels like you're being watched at the same time. Moments especially like Ravenholm and Highway 17 genuinely makes my skin crawl.

"Ahhh its good to see you" *explodes*

13:41 Flawless transition!

7:25 This isn't a glitch. This is G-Man trying to match the train's speed by using his space and time manipulation power.

Alyx asks "Who are you?", he says "Perhaps what I am"

Oh, the satisfying footstep sound effects of Half-Life 1998.

Don't forget that time when he's right behind you right now

9:22 that frame is actually terrifying. Imagine that with the radio trumpets.

7:27 Gman flexing on barny

i know the G-man ain’t *really* supposed to be something you should be scared off but 9:21 was pretty damn unnerving

I have this theory about the Gman that, after seeing the vortigaunts steal Gordan and Alyx from him at the beginning of Episode 1, Gman may have tried to go further back in time, before Gordon arrived, and change the past so that it favors him more, as per the "nudges" he's "authorized" to make every now and then, but the Combine actually manage to trap him using captured Vortigaunts, after Alyx frees him unknowingly. He may have realized he'll have more luck changing the future rather than the past, so he returns to the present in Ep2 for his "Heart-to-heart" with Gordon where he has a newfound interest in Alyx and explains how he can no longer help him without outright telling Gordon that he's been replaced, as Alyx saved Gman and therefore works for him now. And as such, after saving Eli in the present, she was taken and Gordon was "fired". In a way, the storyline matches, albeit with the "retconned" ending of Ep2

10:30 I love how the G man looks at you with frustration, as if he’s aware you’re using hacks to get close to him

damn i cant believe Oracle from dota 2 and Gman have the same voice actor. no wonder there is a 1% chance Oracle will say the word "prepare for unforeseen consequences"

I like how Gordon's crowbar in Alyx just has that thud sound attached to it meaning if you keep grabbing it and letting it go it'll just continuously make the epic thud sound.

My favorite part about the first game is that we don’t Have a one on one interaction with Gman until the end. But we see him before that. So imagine it’s 1999 and you just beat half life and want to play it again. Then while playing it you start to notice the gmans been watching you the entire time. That’s gotta be freaky

There's a glitch I discovered by accident at New Little Odessa (10:10) the first time I played this game. If you go straight there and fight the gunship without looking through the binoculars at the house first, you can go back to the house, look through the binoculars to see the original scene it was meant to show. Then go back to NLO to find both the G-Man and Cubbage still standing there. Totally awkwardly of course. Cubbage runs away from you while G-Man just casts you occasional disinterested glances. Was not expecting to ever see him up close like that.

this is how valve stops you from speed running

7:41 Me trying to wake my friend up when he is afk

17:20 G-Man sounds older (because the voice actor is) but I like to think it's because of fatigue from prison. His English skills have improved, which makes sense seeing as he's had more time to adapt from HL1. 21:10 Listen to the contrast between his normal soft demeanor, EVEN BEFORE DYING, and his anger at losing Alex. This is a new side of Eli.

Alyx was changed in Half life 2 ep 2 when she was healed. What she does in HL Alyx with the vortigauns powers is proof that what happened in Hl2 ep 2 rippled through time to her very being. What she does at the end with Gman is change the world through out side of space time with her connection with the vortescance. This is why she is of extraordinary value! She is more than human now, all of alyxes at every moment of her life are linked at the vortescance

I find it unsettling seeing the G-Man interacting and supposedly talking with other NPCs. What're they talking about? Is he talking with his usual inconsistent and raspy breathing? Because surely that'll put people off.

I got nearly every sighting in Half Life 1, but 9:25 was the only time I found him in Half Life 2. They really upped their game with hiding him!

3:49 It looks like someone forgot his passport

20:10 "Good. As a consequence of your action, this entity will continue, and this entity will not" Why do I feel like he's talking about Gordon Freeman and not the Advisor?

He’s just standing there... MENACINGLY!!!!

and then in the middle of Gman speaking Benrey walks up and asks Gman for his PSN Id or Passport

Ay whats up Gman whats going on maaate

The TV appearance with the creepy trumpet noises is still my favorite. It's just so....creepy.

1:11 "ah, good to see you" *boom*

10:28 Odessa Cubbage: Yo wtf who is this guy flying and pointing a shotgun at me?! GMan: unfazed, business as usual

Achievement unlocked. Eagle Eye: Find all of the G-man's appearances in the entire Half-Life series.

21:36 Eli looked dead at gman

gmans line that goes something like "i have a facination with those who survive against all odds because they remind me of myself" makes me think that g-man is an advisor that is using the human resistance as a way of destroying the combine and freeing the combine advisors, and he is the only one of them that escaped the combines overtaking of their homeworld

What's interesting to me about The G-Man is that he seems to be, for me personally, a figment of metaphorical poetry. Meaning, he is the ever watching eye of the hidden Government source that we, as the public, are not able to interfere with. I think that the reason he is always seen throughout the entirety of Half-life is because he is the thing that you have to look for if you want to see.

6:15 "This isn't my house..."

I need an awkward sighting of G-Man

16:02 oh god, Alyx knew what was there...

10:26 I like how this guy jumps back in surprise at a floating Gordon freeman who comes out of nowhere while Gman is just like “oh Gordon it’s you, I wasn’t expecting to see you so soon…”

He appears 3 times in water hazard, damn he really had to guide us on that ass of a level

I recently found out (playing the Italian version of hl1) that the scientist and the gman were actually talking about the experiment which the scientist deemed to risky, but the gman kept insisting

The most mysterious character in the history of gaming

“The rigth man in the wrong place can make all the diffrence in the world”

Doctor; “Ah it’s good to see you!” Freeman; KABOOM

The 1998 Version of G man is SCARY I have nightmares now, Thanks

i like how eli threatens to kill G-Man when he finds him after literally starring right at him standing there 21:33

OH BOI, IT'S TIME TO DON'T SLEEP WEEK AGAIN, BECAUSE OF HL2 SIGHTNING!

Water Hazard is my favorite episode from hl2 because it has 4 g-man sightings.

What if G-man was just an ordinary dude before the cascade?

Every time I see the ending for Alyx I get hyped, man it looks so good! Then I realize that I'll be long dead before Valve continues half life

1:12 "Ah, it's good to see you" *explodes*

I believe the posters in alyx with the pair of eyes is confirmed to be the gman's, which means the combine used his eyes to instill fear and obiendiance into the human race since the combine themselves feared him

I strongly think that his briefcase provide him with some kind of immense power, some sort of a tool given to him by his employers to do their interests. As soon as he grabbed the suit case everything around them started to change, And as soon as Alyx touched the briefcase she teleported and started seeing the future.

"ahh it's good to see you" **fucking dies**

Even I who isn't really a half life fan, never played it, loves g-man and his entire character

"Ahh its good to see you" Top 10 last words

G-man also appears in Black mesa East, when you first meet Eli. You can see gman's face inside teleporter control, where vortigaunt inserts a battery into. You need either run to it fast or use a noclip. To see his face you can brighten the contrast or something.

G-Man also appear once in Half Life Decay And Half Life Uplink

1:11 ¨ah its good to see you¨ immediately gets blown up

"Ahh Its good to see you" 𝗕 𝗢 𝗢 𝗠

You missed a sighting, in a window in the lambda core you see him walking into a teleporter

"Ah it's good to see you." *Player shoots the scientist*

9:38 at this part i moved so fast with the airboat that i actually saw him before teleporting i even shot him but he is invincible this was the closest i can get to him without nocliping and it was so terrifying that i close the game after that

he had so much power and popularity... And now hes recognized as a toilet

Rise and shine, mr. Freeman

Scientist: Ah! Its good to see you! Gordon: *no*

"I wish I could do more than keep an eye on you, but I agreed to abide by certain... restrictions."

First time I know that Calhoun actually sees him and that he appears this much.

Part of me feels sad that we disappointed gman. Like, sorry man

The G-Man is my all time favorite video game antagonist, Valve truly created a unique character, his appearance, the way he addresses Gordon Freeman, all done in a sinister way, his charisma, mystery, everything about the character is truly unlike anything else in gaming. The fact that the original Half-Life is 25 years old now and we still don’t know who exactly the G-Man is, so many countless theories yet still a mystery, simply remarkable writing by Valve. 👏👏👏

We may never know who the G Man really is but rumor has it that he always observes people to hire them in case of trouble whenever their time comes around.

Is it just me or is that black mesa really likes rockets, even the resistance built one lol

The fact that we can’t point any fingers of how unrealistic his despawning is, because the developers just say he has teleporting powers

22:22 of footage of gman sightings? YES PLEASE

1:12 Scientist : Aah is good to see you Gordon : so you have chosen death...

9:21 Good job G-man now you won't get coronavirus,

scientist: "ahh, it's good to see you" gordon: *kills him anyways*

"Ahh it's good to see you." "Oh, yeah it's good to see you to, doctor."

1:13 got me 💀

1:12 Ahh, its so great to see you-*explodes*

1:14 this caught me so fucking off guard 💀

You missed Decay (in which he is briefly sighted only once in an elevator in the first level).

I hope Alyx was more than just a VR project and a one off and that it's epilogue is the revival for Half Life with a third part in the works atm. One can dream, right?

"ah..it's good to see you" *BOOM!*

Gman in other games:im a mysterious man located at various places spying on people Gman in blue shift:im glitching on a train help!

G mans voice in hl1 is so nice

g man and Connor are long-lost brothers. They frequently adjust their tie.

Freeman is favored by both the Gman and his employers, while Adrian is like Gman's personal favorite.
