And people say video games are childish and badly written.

[VannahWilson]

This is my favourite line so far in Half-Life 2, because it does such a wonderful job of lampshading the questionable premise that a lone man, let alone a frickin' theoretical physicist with presumably no training with guns or combat, can consistently overwhelm numerous augmented Combine soldiers. Yet instead of destroying your suspension of disbelief, it makes Gordon that much more awesome. :D

Did anyone notice he sounds kinda like Bill with the scratchy voice, but he doesnt get that accent correct.

[VannahWilson]

@Ziggylata Bill who?

[Ziggylata]

@VannahWilson Left for dead, and you didnt look at the date I posted it?

4 months a go.

[VannahWilson]

@Ziggylata Why does it matter when you posted it?

[Squidpus]

"I have good reason to believe that in the intervening years, he was in a state that precluded further development of covert skills." Hmm, now what exactly does he mean here? Does he know about the stasis that G-Man put Gordon in? Or does he assume that since there is no record of him for nearly 2 decades that he was somewhere else?

[ZeroNinerFoxtrot]

@Squidpus probably he played Half Life 1.

And seriously: Probably he knew, that if Gordon survived the Black Mesa and hasn't been among the rebels, it means he hardly could get any military training or whatsoever....  just a suggestion. I guess he doesn't know anything about Gman

[Ogaitnas900]

@ZeroNinerFoxtrot the dude knows about the gman, he's the one who told him alix was useless, the naysayer,

[pinheadman665]

@ZeroNinerFoxtrot

I still wonder, though, how could the Combine could fail time and time again to stop Gordon? Breen said it best. Freeman isn't some super soldier; he's a theoretical physicist. Even if he had some military training before the Black Mesa Incident, being stuck in stasis for 20 years would have left him rusty in combat.

[ppitm]

@Squidpus Yes, Breen knows all about the G-man

[VannahWilson]

@Squidpus He might know, even if he doesn't know about the G-Man.

[Squidpus]

@VannahWilson @ppitm @Ogaitnas900 @ZeroNinerFoxtrot There's a bit of dialogue where him and Dr. Eli talk, and Dr. Breen speaks about the universe and says it's indescribably as if he's actually seen it. The Combine most probably showed him things beyond his ability so he knew where he stood amongst them, and I'm sure somewhere down the line they know about the G-Man as an intervening force. I've yet to play Ep. 1 and 2 so I don't know if further info is revealed.

[Adii30]

@Squidpus Yes, he's referring to the fact that he knows about Gman and Gordon's relationship.

[mgsfan103]

@Squidpus Actually I'm pretty sure Breen knows about the G-Man and whomever he works for and that statement is first key. That phrase does not suggest he simply means he was absent but "in a state that precluded further development" ie stasis. However the real reason we know he is at least aware of the G-man is at the end of the game in his office. When he talks to Gordon and the rest he says that "Did you know Dr. Freeman's contract was open to the highest bidder?"

[TheSuperlolkiller]

2 people Didnt Listen To Our Benafactors Or Dr.Breen

[IggyHazard]

Breen is a eugenics advocate.

[mecaguy03]

Gordan freeman has evaded capture all this time because gman is helping him

[phooey108]

Nice upload

[crazyreid117]

man... breen is ice cold...

[Demock]

sadly, his voice actor, Robert Culp, just passed away yesterday :\

[jakedee010]

Bless him. Good man- RIP.

[rotjesenmatjes]

@jakedee010

Oshit i tought this was about DR breen himself not about the Actor

sorry for rating you down!

RIP Robert culp.

[Madnam]

It would seem to me that his catchphrase is "make no mistake" He says it like 4 times in the game or something.

[Elkotend]

@Madnam Valve got the phrase from the book, Animal Farm. The propaganda pig named squealer says "Make no mistake, comrades" several times.

[Madnam]

@Elkotend Oh that's fucking awesome. I gotta read that sometime.

[Elkotend]

@Madnam Yea, it's all a big reference to the Russian Revolution.

[IggyHazard]

@Elkotend There are also subtle Hitchcock references.The Combine is also called "the Universal Union" which could be used as an allegory to the European Union, or more likely, the Soviet Union. Either way, the message is both anti-communist and anti-fascist. Anti-collectivist in general.

[SentientComputer]

that you uploaded this and wrote the whole speech is great. hehe

[swampert11706]

its sean connery =D

[sorlag7]

@swampert11706 that's robert culp.

[swampert11706]
