Could update image to add G-Man from the Half-Life: Alyx trailer. Catlord1004 (talk) 05:30, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

Hello Ferret, I didn't know that. Do you know of any better sources for Half-Life quotes? If so could you please link them here as I can't find any better sources for the in-game footage. Thanks.SenatorLEVI (talk) 16:23, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's unlikely anything better than a Youtube of the game itself exists. Which brings up the question of whether it should be mentioned at all. But TVTropes and the like are Wikis edited by general population, so fail WP:USERG. -- ferret (talk) 16:49, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see, thanks a lot.SenatorLEVI (talk) 09:22, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Who is the G-Man?

It is implied in Marc Laidlaw's tweets that the G-Man is a member of the Advisors who escaped the control of the Combine. Advisors in the games were in the larval stage due to the suppression field, but when they hatch they can take any form they want. Escaped Advisors want to defeat the Combine and establish their own rule in the universe. They use the G-Man as a proxy to manipulate humans (being his 'employers').

Ok. Is there an edit you're proposing though? "Implied in Marc Laidlaw's tweets" isn't really sourcable. -- ferret (talk) 14:49, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not really. I was just giving people a possible explanation and closure since Half-Life 3 will never be made. Blazing Phoenix (talk) 01:44, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Talk pages should be kept to discussions on improving the article, not general discussion of the topic. -- ferret (talk) 01:52, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. I just saw some other editors discussing back in 2006 and I thought it would be OK since this is talk page, but I got it. I didn't know about the WP:NOTFORUM rule. Blazing Phoenix (talk) 14:43, 10 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
