KILL ALIENS WITH GUNS, NEVER DO ANY ACTUAL SCIENCE

He’s been playing the hero so long, even he can’t remember what his degree is in!

    Gordan Freeman never did science…….EVERYTHING I KNOW IS A LIE!!!!

  3. GameboyPATH on December 13th, 2010 11:33 pm

    An object in motion… *crowbars a Combine* …stays in motion.

  4. AquaLink on December 13th, 2010 11:41 pm

    he did too! he pushed that lawn mower into a lightning bolt. it's totally science and physics.

    1st the cake is a lie, Half-Life 3 is perhaps a lie, and now the science is a lie?…
    Am I sensing a trend here, Valve?

  6. TCC on December 13th, 2010 11:42 pm

    killing aliens isn't science?

    Well, he does know how to use every gun automatically….that's gotta count for something, right?

    Save humen kind.

    Live full-life consequences.

  12. ZegenRuki on December 13th, 2010 11:58 pm

    Gordon Freeman has a PhD in Physics. That's why he needs to do basic physics puzzles to progress.

    Yep, his MIT education really made him go places… In more ways than one.

  13. Tobikun on December 13th, 2010 11:58 pm

    What next valve? My medics?
    -looks around- That Medic's a LIE!

    "Ah, screw it."

    PhD in Physics, MA in Kicking Your Ass.

    BA in Women's Studies.

    Makes sense to me.

  20. JesterJoe on December 14th, 2010 12:07 am

    No, THAT HAT IS A LIE

  21. Tobikun on December 14th, 2010 12:11 am

    The hats were always lies though.

  22. Tobikun on December 14th, 2010 12:15 am

    That's real deep Freeman.
    Truer words have never been not spoken.

  23. Ragnellrok on December 14th, 2010 12:19 am

    Well there's a reason for that. If you kill all the aliens you can steal their research materials, and viola! You then advance civilization and you are a hero and a scientist and a political figurehead to boot!

  24. GameboyPATH on December 14th, 2010 12:20 am

    And thus, the denizens of Halolz cast forth their -1's upon the nonbeliever, mercilessly dragging the now-suffering fool down to the depths of the comments. His cries of mockery of the advice-giver were silenced beneath words of praise, references, and lulz.

    But deep in their hearts, a darkness grew ever so slightly larger, for the community knew that the man of 61 held truth in his words.

  25. Mr Plen on December 14th, 2010 12:24 am

    I find it to be more of a art, much like trolling.

  26. Fission on December 14th, 2010 12:25 am

    If this was a Courage Kratos it would be +12 already.

  27. Judgment on December 14th, 2010 12:25 am

    Become a scientist with an MIT education
    Realize killing aliens is a better and more exciting career choice

  29. Mr Plen on December 14th, 2010 12:26 am

    THAT LIE IS A SPY.

  30. Tobikun on December 14th, 2010 12:29 am

    I'm still waiting on courage GLaDOS oh crap I just gave someone that idea didn't I?

  31. Master Eraqus on December 14th, 2010 12:29 am

    THE PIE IS A LIE!

  32. JesterJoe on December 14th, 2010 12:31 am

    MY COMMENT IS A LIE

  33. Fission on December 14th, 2010 12:32 am

    Promise cake for completing trials

    Send subject to fiery death

  34. Tobikun on December 14th, 2010 12:38 am

    umm

    Force to incinerate cube
    Give shit to subject later.

  35. Fission on December 14th, 2010 12:42 am

    Try to kill test subject

    Expect her not to be pissed

  36. Tobikun on December 14th, 2010 12:45 am

    you win. I can't top that. My wit was used up in that last pathetic attempt.

  37. Lordshadow on December 14th, 2010 12:46 am

    One should know that there is a massive difference between "science" and "SCIENCE!"
    "Science" involves carefully contemplated experiments with controlled variables and whatnot.
    "SCIENCE!" involves hitting aliens in the face with crowbars while throwing explosive containers at them with a gravity gun.

    Gordon Freeman has his PHD in SCIENCE!, not science.

  38. shadow649 on December 14th, 2010 12:48 am

    If god had wanted aliens to live he would have made Gordon Freeman do science. And maybe talk.

  39. Tobikun on December 14th, 2010 12:49 am

    THAT SPY IS A cake?

  40. shadow649 on December 14th, 2010 12:49 am

    Sorry you'll have to speak up! I'm not wearing any pants.

  41. Fawful on December 14th, 2010 12:59 am

    Don't forget launching saw blades into zombies and running over more aliens with a jeep.

  42. Fawful on December 14th, 2010 1:02 am

    Provide subject with weapon that can create interconnected portals over long distances.

    Have it used to move blocks onto switches.

  43. Fission on December 14th, 2010 1:04 am

    Prepare turrets to kill test subject

    Make them unable to stay upright

  44. OrionX on December 14th, 2010 1:13 am

    Freeman's a scientist. Therefore, he is also a geek.

  45. FoxyMayo on December 14th, 2010 1:14 am

    It's kind of hard to do science whenever all hell breaks loose, ya know? Can't crunch all them numbers or play with hazardous materials whenever some alien, indigenous territorial species, metro-cop, or marine is trying to create a brand new hole in your face.

    However, you CAN immediately determine things like muzzle velocity, position determining via sound waves, and how long it takes for one's life to cease after they've taken trauma to the cerebral cortex in the midst of a firefight.

  46. FoxyMayo on December 14th, 2010 1:21 am

    Get destroyed by vindictive subject.

    Become furious about it when she comes back to visit.

  47. Lordshadow on December 14th, 2010 1:41 am

    There's a -1 troll lurking around. Commence medication. +1 gun GO. FOR SCIENCE!

  48. primedawg9170 on December 14th, 2010 1:46 am

    Trolling is art? Then that must mean that I've seen so many beautiful work of arts in my life then.

  50. DM1293 on December 14th, 2010 2:14 am

    IM DELICIOUS.

  51. Tadferd on December 14th, 2010 2:31 am

    Doctor Freeman's is in the process of extensive field testing of the Hazard suit.

    During this testing he has also preformed numerous tests on the bullet resistance of Combine armor and resistance to impacts and explosions.

    He has dissected the bodies of those infected by headcrabs and has help protect the environment by recycling tools used for these dissections.

    Since the Combine took over we have been unable to research these new alien specimens, which makes Doctor Freeman's research extremely valuable.

  52. Yoshi_Dino on December 14th, 2010 2:56 am

    and that's the truth.

  53. Tobikun on December 14th, 2010 2:56 am

    OMNOMNOM HE IS DELICIOUS.

  54. Yoshi_Dino on December 14th, 2010 3:04 am

    Because real men don't need puny helmets to protect their heads!

  55. Yoshi_Dino on December 14th, 2010 3:10 am

    but was he poisonous too?

  56. Zyquux on December 14th, 2010 3:28 am

    Heheh… "full-life"

    I see what you did there, therefore I will withhold the Grammar Hammer and just provide friendly advice: Human*.

  59. Zyquux on December 14th, 2010 3:30 am

    Now you're thinking with physics!

  60. Zyquux on December 14th, 2010 3:35 am

    True story:

    Back in Geometry class, we had a problem that had us calculating the angle of a UFO's laser as well as our probability of survival. And yes, this was in our textbook.

  61. Shawn Handyside on December 14th, 2010 4:09 am

    Huh, did I ever post this? I've been meaning to post this.

  62. Yoshi_Dino on December 14th, 2010 4:18 am

    nope you haven't, I say go forth and post it so many shall comment….for the greater good.

  63. RemielChibus on December 14th, 2010 4:56 am

    Apparently someone has not heard about Gordon Freeman's brother…

    -insert Kill Bill music and red light filter here-

  65. Zyquux on December 14th, 2010 6:31 am

    Look for "Full-Life Consequences" in YouTube.

  73. meinmattias on December 14th, 2010 9:50 am

    His brother is much chattier. He has a tendency to scream "at the top of lungs."

  74. wakamaka on December 14th, 2010 11:40 am

    I think Gordan Freeman is a pretty cool guy. eh kills aliens and doesnt afraid of anything

    What do you mean not actual science… it's all about muzzle velocity and momentum. And "fucktons" of voltage

  85. Jade Catima on December 14th, 2010 3:20 pm

    Well, as long as the end of this story doesn't make me want to bawl my eyes out, I'm good.

    This begs the question: what exactly happened during his MIT years?

    I WANNA GO TO MIT NOW.
