  • Gman is an being that exists outside of time and space, and while he is able to indirectly effect it by warping space and time, he can not interfere directly, causing him to need Gordon as a avatar through which to work his will.

  • Your grammar and spelling are horrible, and your information is a bit off. Nonetheless it was a decent video. (Each time you said "got" it should have been "Has")

  • Also, Eli the last chapter says "Our common friend" and it means that both Gordon and Eli have made an contract for hes purposes. I'd say that hes not a human... He can warp through time and reality make someone invincible aganist thier own will, but what if its only is written on the contract? Maybe the title "Half-Life" means that G-mans victims (Like Gordon) have sold half of their own life, but for what purpose? Is the victims slaves? Or is the Victims themself?

  • G-Man = Garry's mod Man

  • yore grammer stinks

  • Gman is an ancient god often referred to as the king of nipples. He is the ancestor of all vikings. He helps gordon freeman because he senses that he has got viking blood and his nipples are filled with swedish power.

  • Guys i think Gman is leader of Combines.

  • I have a problem with the "same person theory" Gman has a gene called widows peak, which is why is hair ends in a point, Gordan's hair does not end in a point.

  • what is the name of this song at 0:10

  • Valve never named him. the origin of his name gman is fanmade

  • @Rawrberreh THANK YOU! SOMEONE ELSE WHO KNOWS!

  • @odstfan100 but.. but... why does it say gman in the sound files, i go by my idea that gman is govermant man

  • @wariofit Well, Valve nicknamed him Gman after they saw that fans had named him that.

  • @Rawrberreh The sound files from the first half life game (From what i remember) is called gman, and therefore we have an origin.

  • when he say's "most of your weapons were government property" he's talking about when you killed the BIG ARMY guys weapons like the shotgun and machine gun

  • you need to go back to English class and study grammar.

  • I also see some people haven't researched enough before stating their theories about G-man. Google him up and read about him on wiki or hl2wiki; they already talked about most of your theories there.

  • That last reason is awesome! O:

    I never thought about it that way

  • I think he's kinda like your contractor because he mentions it, and he definitly works for a Government, whether or not he's from the future, there's no way of telling.

  • Destroyed trucks are czech TATRAs and Avia(copy from french Saviem) in CIty 17, ...

  • music name please

  • G-man is short for Government man it has been used since the 50's

  • @wariofit He's actually short for Gordon Freeman: G_____ ____man

  • Oh god, I feel like a Grammar Nazi, and it's all your fault. Although I'm sure that's what every Grammar Nazi thinks.

  • such bad grammar

  • 'Where do he go?"

    Oh cmon you know better than that

  • hmm ... if you guys know german, then rather watch this video;-).

    youtube.com/watch?v=gnQ5P2VhfC­8

  • gman cant be gordan because in hl2 gman woke gordan freeman up at the start of the game

  • @redspartain227 if you traveled in time you could also wake 'the past yourself' up.

  • I used to just blow off the Gordon = Gman idea off for being ridicuous, but when you put it that way... Perhaps a mix of all the theories? To an extent? If someone replies to this comment, maybe later I can elapse on it, right now I'm too tired.

  • whats that music at the start?

  • i ment a G in Gman

  • maybe therey 1 is right gordon freeman, theres a G is gordon and a G in Gordon

  • @matthew29nato Maybe you spelled "theory" wrong.

  • Or maybe Gordon is working for Gman. Dr. Breen did say his contract was open to the highest bidder.

  • People, Its obvious Who the G-Man is. He IS Gordon. Thats why his name is the G-Man. It all adds up, Gordon is going back, Helping himself. (also apparently there is some book about Half-life that gives a ton of hints at this. My friend showed it to me.)

  • @m00nGeek agreemant rom one of your subs

  • @redrapter15 0_o

  • @m00nGeek I agree that G-Man is probably Gordon from the future but valve actually never gave G-Man a name G-Man was a name givin to him by the fans because he wears bussiness suit and carries a breifcase it stands for Goverment Man because he looks like a Goverment Bussiness man.

  • I have my own theory. G-Man is among the few survivors of an alien species that were driven to near extinction by the Combine. He possesses the ability to warp reality through either natural or artificial abilities. He is using humanity to wipe out the Combine and save his own species no matter the loss of human life in the process. Primarily, he manipulated Gordon to take over Zen, (formerly Combine enslaved) inspire a human rebellion, and to cause the mass genocide of the Combine.

  • @KnoxCarbon That would make sense...he wants revenge...I had this idea that G-Man is being controlled by something non-human, like he is being used as some kind of avatar and whatever is controlling him is speaking through him, I saw a pic on deviant art that sparked this.

  • I wonder how Gman carry he's suit case from 1998 up to 2007 without stopping and without feeling any pain

  • I think that city 17 is in Ukraine. :)

  • the music is the blackmesa source music

  • I think City 17 is in Russia, because allmost all signs are written in russian.

  • @TheSmokeRyder Wrong. All signs are written with the usage of Cyrillic alphabet, which is used by Bulgarian, Macedonian, Ukrainian, Belorussian, Serbian and many Kazakh related and Tatar language. So, technically, City 17 can be in any of those countries as well.

    Saying that this is Russian just cause letters are similar is bullshit. I can say that everything is English just because many languages are using Latin alphabet. Ie, nonsense.

  • if black mesa is nearby then that means city 17 is not in the country europe but in new mexico

  • nice theories

    can't wait to see the half life ending

  • my theory: Gman is evil force working with combine and other aliens from xen, he send you to defeat Nihilanth because he is the oldest of vortignauts (you can notice that he also has the wierd third hand) and the only one who could stop gman. in half life 2 he sends Gordon to kill breen cause he is somewhat familiar with powers of nihilanth and maybe he is able to ressurect him, that is why breen wasnt yet killed by combine after letting them enter the world. Gman needs also to defeat Advisors-

  • @Nararnius To gain control uppon Combine and overrule the Xen and Earth (maybe along with other bigger planets)

  • @Nararnius I think he works for some alien because in half life 1 ending, you have a choice to work for him or not, if you pick to not you die. And near end of half life 2 Breen said "did you realize your contract was open to the highest bidder?"

  • wtf is the song?

  • my theory nr1: gman is an affairsman paying the combines to take over the world so hes probably combine leader or anything like that (stupid theory). theory nr2 : gman is gordon freemans father

  • 1:09 g-Man spoke to a scientist in Black Mesa in the begining of HL1

  • G-Man could be Gordons son in the future, or Gordons father... Or maybe Gordon actully know G-Man, but he isn't talking so we don't know. I think Gordon not talking is a big part of the mystery.

  • thumbs up if valut-sorry if i spell wrong) should make a mini expantion or at least a video to explain who is gman

  • G stands for goverment.

  • your theories are great specially one that GMAN is GORDON from Futhure cuz GMAN took Gordon into nearby futhure (about 20 Years) and Gman may be from about 50 Years later. My thoery is that GMAN is Gordon from far futhure that he succed to destroy COMBINE regime but in he also did somthing diffrend that he want to provent thats why hes using gordon to change futhure. And maybe the boat from EP3 i dont remmember name :). Maybe there lies GMANs power and we finnaly may know the trooth :) my theory

  • @MrZipMk12 Im sure that Gmans a vortigaunt

  • @MrZipMk12 he didnt take hi mto the future he put him in cryogenic stasis

  • @MrZipMk12 the Borialis is ship apeture science built it and theres a refrence to it in portal 2

  • He is ........... CHUCK NORRIS

  • But in the End of Opposing FOrce is There wag a huge Explode when Gordon freeman has in the alien world G-Man Save Gordon Freeman in the Black Mesa

  • Just to clarify, City 17 is in Sofia, in Bulgaria. I gathered this from where the art director of HL2 lives and the original journey map for HL2. It might not be Sofia, but somewhere close to that.

  • @TheTangist Thats why I was feeling i've been in Sofia before. Was there 6 months ago with a big Deja Wu feeling :b

  • i got a question when did alyx say anything about gman in white forest ive never heard her say anything about a man carrying a briefcase with a pistol and his passport in it

  • @Robbaz It could never be in Russia,if you hate Russia so then die!

    Idiot!

  • Well yeah he's government, he's called a G-man, thats always been a term for government agents. Mainly FBI.

  • Oh noes! Chell from Portal is Rochelle from L4D2!!! They both are females, their names is Ro(chell)e, and "Ro" is a part from word "Robot"! There are much of robots in Portal and Portal 2! They both have black hair and similiar faces! Both are thin and have nice boobs!!!!!!!!!!!11111one

    That's how dumb you sound.

  • City 17 is in Ukraine.

  • G-man is gordon's father! =D

  • Just my thoughts.... What if G-man's Gordon's future, if not, Gordon is a clone of G'man.

    "I admit I have a fascination with those who adapt and survive against all odds they rather remind me of myself"

    Who was G-man from the past then?

  • lol most stupid theory is that gordon is gman..i mean we saw gman many times at random places playing as gordon..one person cannot be at two places at same time

  • @KRAUSER0130 DUDE! Theres portals to other dimensions, monsters humanity never seen, Non-Gravity stuff, talking suites! Gordon is at 2 places at the same time, its a tme paradox tht doenst affect the reality time!

  • @KRAUSER0130 tru but you saw how he went beck and forwood inn time space

  • wai-wha? I remember this video when it had just came out a long time ago! I would've never imagined Robbaz as the Dude he is in his Let's plays nowdays! XD

  • eli say at end of half life ep2 gman is OUR friend.. so... the friend from combines and from rebels ?

  • red forest lol ... blu team doesn't like this! >:(

  • About City 17: For a brief time, part of Finland was occupied by the USSR and made into the Karelo-Finnish Autonomous SSR. Maybe HL2 is in a parallel universe where history progressed differently and the Soviet Union never dissolved and even expanded out of the Eastern Bloc, then was taken over by the Combine. The influences of Soviet culture would still be there.

  • Sweden does not use euro. The countrywhere I live, Finland, does.

  • @billywow336 it was removed because valve thinked it was tjust stupid and was well before hl2 was even imagined of (btw valve: hl2 was and is your biggest sucsess)

  • He's Slender man's dwarf cousin

  • @Bassbait

    True Aperture is training Chell, but she escapes in Portal 2 which takes place several hundred years later. If the combine did take over, then that wheat field would have combine structures.

  • The quote at the end reinforces one of my theories that G-man is an ex-government agent with otherworldly powers not known to the public (but known to the government), with the sole purpose of controlling and concealing information about extraterrestrial and supernatural happenings. He destroys Black Mesa because he doesn't want it to get out, and he "buries" Aperture Science possibly. He is surviving against all odds in order to defeat the combine which is a bigger threat than he imagined.

  • Furthermore, the reason he removes Aperture Science from public view is because he is looking for super soldiers who survive against all odds, and Chell is one of them. So while he deals with the combine, the dormant Aperture Science is training Chell, and eventually Gman will need her to help his plan to defeat the combine. He didn't plan to use Gordan Freeman after the portal exploded, but the vortigaunts stopped him because they knew deep down that Freeman was needed. Gman loses his powers...

  • And thus, Gman's two other recruits, Adrian Shepard and Chell, are left untouched because Gman is trying to regain control. Chell ends up in Aperture Science AGAIN because Gman was unable to reach her in time. Adrian Shepard has not entered the battle yet because Gman is pre-occupied. Once he regains control, Gordan Freeman would be seen as no longer needed, but since he no longer has control of Freeman, Freeman is outliving his usefulness to Gman and ruining Gman's plans. Then - Episode 3.

  • maybe gman wanted to take over xen so he sent gordan to destroy that massive alien so it would be easier and maybe shepard is a back up plain incase gordan dies maybe gman is a leader of another race of peaple

  • @billywow336

    So gordon isnt real?

  • @billywow336 Nice if u could make a video to prove to me :)

  • The combine are Universal Slavers, and Gman is an important part in the fight against them. He is using gordan to lure the combine to earth, where a final battle can be staged.. however, the humans have caused great trouble by shutting down the super portal, now the combine cant get through. it makes the most sense. the human race has an important part to play in a much bigger war.

  • hmmmm some of these statements are pretty cool

  • Same eye color? Gman's eyes are EXTREMELY bright green, while Gordon's eyes look normal. That's not the same eye color.

  • @TeamCraftable aperture science got taken over by glados

  • when the vrigants hold him back he dosent have his brief case which can mean he tied to trick gordon incase he ever turn on gman

  • Whats the music the one with the violin at 0:10 pls tell me

  • nope gordon has a kinda of round face but g-man has a narrow face

  • well barney and gman voice actor is mark shapiro xD

  • @MrPustachio Michael Shapiro you ignorant man

  • Maybe Gman is gordon from another dimension! I don't know... maybe we'll find out in HL3 or ep. 3?

  • gman can not be Gordon gman could be Shepard from the future cause g man doesn't look alike with Gordon and have we seen Shepards face no we haven't and its not possible its Barny eighter cause they don't look anything alike

  • Comment removed

  • the only problem with the G(ordon Free)man theory is that Gman isnt his name, its a name the Players has given him since he never got a name in any of the games.

  • @TheGravar At the credits of HL1 it says Gman. And also Valve even said Gman isnt Gordon, so that theroy is dead.

  • @TheGravar actuazlly his name comes from the code you can use in the counsol to create a g-man

    create-npc npc-gman

  • im not sure if valve even knows who gman is, they could just be now deciding for themselves, its just a mysterious entity as far as almost anyone is concerned

  • you for got : who does he work for ? what are his goals ?

  • gman talks to a load of characters from the game, scientists and rebels! so alyx wasn't the first, but Eli was the first characters to ever talk about him besides nihilant! and nihilant said that gman wasn't even human so he can't be gordon freeman from the future!! just think! the thing that makes him remind himselft is something about that he won a war against the combines or something that he was outnumbered and still won

  • Comment removed

  • If GORDON is GMAN in the future, the time would have been wiped out because gordon has already seen his future self(gman). It is a Portal 2 Reference BTW

  • @SuperN00btuber do you think that's why they included that in portal 2? :P

  • I think gman is a god (g)od man

  • You have terrible grammar, or as you would say it, you got terrible grammar.

  • what if gman is god

  • i like most people's saying i payed half life one for fun i wanted to see what would happen if you tryed to kill him so i used alien mode every shot did nothing when you do hit him a force feild keeps him alive try it yourself you have do it at the start of the game when he is in a locked room but you cant break the glass

  • Comment removed

  • Really, i Think gman is Gunman, the guy from the game ''Gunman Chronicles'' made by valve too

  • @XrandomkX gunman wasnt made by valve.

  • @MrAndyasteroids Maybe not, but it was alot copied from half-life, i think they made it all up with valve

  • @XrandomkX No, t the Half-Life Mod Expo in 1999, Gunman Chronicles stole the show and Sierra approached Rewolf to make a retail version. After significant work, Rewolf was given some office space, funding and a mapper (Jeff Lane) by Valve Software to help complete the project.

  • ordon free is an anagram for redone for

  • maybe he rearmed the bomb to destroy black mesa because he was hiding something there that he didnt want anyone to find

  • we might get some answers in episode 3 maybe

  • My theory is, Gman is a aperture labs worker and that's why he armed the bomb in opposeing force and he is keeping you alive because he wants you to go to the borealis (idk if that's the spelling XD) and trigger something off in there for his plan for making aperture rule the world or something. I don't really know if that's it but it's my theory.

  • City 17 is in Russia, in the first few chapters you can hear the Overwatch voice saying "...five Russian units..."

  • @MegaBighouse01 he could have also said "five partisan units" its an easy mistake and even i dnno what they said.

  • @IceCoolG4mes

    No, the overwatch voice clearly said "russian". Partisan sounds different, like 'Partizan'.

  • City 17 is in BULGARIA

  • @shadowknight71 Play with commentary and they say its swetish

  • WTF - Welcome to Finland. The capital country of the mighty combine! :D

  • There are at least 3 other in-game characters aware of the G-Man before Alyx, she wasn't the first.

  • My oppinion: You CANNOT trust the End of Op.Fo., because its not from ValvE, and the G-Man IS FROM VALVE!...

  • @FelixWTFProduction

    Gearbox just developed the game, VALVe directed it all,

  • @GSboyNEO That I mean

  • who is Sheperd

    

  • episode 3? not in this life time

    VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV

  • idk makes sence just let valve decide who the g man is in like episode 3 by that time though there might be actual gordan freeman

  • Gman reprogramm HEV suit to clinch gordon's voicebox

    it was permanent tho.

    (English int my first language)

  • DAAAMN i love such mysterys :D

  • LOL. gman is not gordon freeman. gman talks alot " blah blah blah bullshit" while gordon freeman just jumps run jump solve seesaw puzzle Y.Y and doesnt even talk.

  • gman might have said "I took the liberty of relieving you of youre weapons. most of them where goverment property" becouse most of the weapons gorodn is carrying he took form the soldiers he killed, but thats just my theory

  • and kleiner or someone... was it eli.. i dont remember but anyway he mentions about our mutual friend

  • "Gordon Freeman (minus) Free (equals) Gordon Man (turn gordon to g) (equals) gman" IT MAKES SENSE

  • @PasanaFrancis no, it doesn't

    If I met someone named Kar, I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that he was me just because his name has some of the same letters as mine

  • The Music is the Black Mesa Source theme but iam not sure its a kind of remix ;)

  • @billywow336 Yes your explanation was pretty good BUT i have to admit that the vortigaunts CAN hold G-man back when he tries to reach Gordon....So i don't really think this is a simulation...

  • My theory is that gman is gordon from another demension, gordon never speaks and gmod do always speak. And the name "gman "Gordon freeMAN And in half life 1 in gordons locker you can see a blue suit. And a pixeld picture that i think looks like alyx, i know that alyx is elis daughter but maybe it was intended to be gordons or gmans daughter instead before they changed it to Elis.

  • I got it! Gman is Chuck Norris!

  • @ridvan1995 OH MY GOD IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!!!!!!!!!!

  • @ridvan1995 noo chuck norris couldn't be stopped if u read carefully;)

  • if you take the glasses and the beard off gordan then he kinda looks like gman. Aso gman could be gordan man.

  • whats the songs please?

    Or song? hmmm?

  • Let's go back to half life 1 how was his name discovered? it was found in the models folder valve might have put down random bullshit and went with it. furthermore, if gman is using gordon, then he would be dead. honestly, he is just a goverment guy with that codename if all else fails.

  • @Yeellowapple gman is in the credits for half life 1. The people who made it came up with it, not the fans.

  • Like it!

  • Gman is not a nickname. When HL1 came out if you typed in console: give monster_gman, gman would spawn.

  • @Yeellowapple The term "Gman" was created by the fans as you said, but Valve accepted the name and began to "kind of" use it.

  • whats the song?

  • umm maby you didnt realise but when breen said your contract was open to the highest bidder that was a metaphore

  • noobs serching who G-man is by names (i think gman and gordon is very lame theory), and other stuff, real pro's searching small detales in game. for examle in HL2 vort said "we serve the same mystery" :) it means vorts and freeman WORKS FOR GMAN!!! btw have you people noticed that gman gives RPG for ODESA? :D

  • i think the last quote seems right but time will have to tell in...half life episode:3

  • Same eye color? bullshit, Gordon's Eyes are Green, GMans are more on an eriee alien Hazel color.

  • actualy alix isnt the first to know thare were maey other people that knew like eli and i think more becouse he says at the end of half life 2 ep 2 after alix says prepare for unforseen consuquenses he says (he's puting words in her mouth you know who im talking about our old frend) wich leads me to belive that alot more people know about gman.

  • G-Man's motives are very much a mystery. He is neither on the human side nor the combine side. Also for some strange reason he observes gordon through out the half-life series. He also picks out what he see's as "useful."

  • @Robbaz i think breen and xen tryed to tell gordon the truf but g man send gordon to kill them

  • so the question remains: g-man is good or evil maybe it will be reveald in half life episode 3 or something, but it STILL FREAKING REMAINS WHO THE FUCK IS G MAN

  • I just figured out who gman was! Hes gordons FATHER! they look the same and gordon probably does not know. Gman stalks over gordon because he wants to see how he is doing!!! He uses him as a weapon against the combine! Thumbs up if you aggre!!

  • @MasterEndorphin maybe

  • i know everything bout gman. and i am not gman -_- i will post a video bout it later

  • @MegaXoxo13 G-man actualy means GOVERMANT man

  • i think its just a badass acsent

  • @MegaXoxo13 G-Man was already present in Half Life 1, so your theory is wrong

  • gman is gordan without his glasses. he just gets lost and dosnt know where he's going. he shaved his beared which keeps his evil thoughts at bay and without it gordan can teleport and talk... he hates himself so he takes his weopens and scares him.

  • @Gooza3 umm... Nope
