Is he too old now?
>there’s that 27 year old research assistant I was telling you about
He wasn’t ready to take the snowdog challenge
>>218193870He's a scientist, the story all works until he hits his 50's, can Norton play 40? Then who is our Gordon?
some actors are born to be roles
>>218193850nah would still work
why did they kill the thread?
>Episode 1Barney's Story, pure survival action packed first episode with lots of mysteries and questions.>Episode 2Kleiner's Story, you see the Resonance Cascade, you see Gordon from the observation deck, you see vortigaunts and military. >Episode 3Eli's Story, introduce Breen, whom he has a fight with about the plan, Eli is more privy to the whole story but he's still in the dark. This episode is slower and more horror focused, introducing headcrabs and zombies. >Episode 4Breen's Story, G-Man delivering Xen Crystal, most is revealed. G-Man observes Gordon from a distance fighting military. Breen escapes the facility.>Episode 5Shephard's Story, flesh out the goals and perspective of the military. Fighting aliens, taking out witnesses, being surprised at Gordon fucking you up. >Episode 6Gordon's Story. Just HL1 from his perspective starting with the briefer Tram Ride ending with Xen sequence and G-Man's deal.Notes: G-Man appears silently and mysteriously for a brief second in all the episodes prior to Breen, where he then becomes a character. At the end of every episode, they end up right before sending Gordon to Xen, gathered with the same goal. All our characters except Breen interact with Gordon at some point. Through brawn or combat or intelligence he helps them through and leaves a lasting impression of competency on them but then disappears on his own path. He absolutely must speak and have report with our characters.
>>218193892what's updog?
>>218193961we were getting too close to the truth
>>218193850>Half Life film gets made>everyone realises the story isn't that interesting and relies on people making their own headcanonWould be funny
You rang?
>>218194226HL1 has the structure of a movie already, you just need to have the characters interact. It's Die Hard with aliens and science.HL2 is much harder but if you cut out everything but the Children of Men style fascist alien occupation and slowly growing rebellion led by your old compatriots, it works great. Strange new world, meet old friends and Alyx, rebellion in the streets, take down the tower. Easy.
