"Marvel vs DC would never happen, plain and simple. Competing companies, enough said."

Crossovers and Amalgam Comics. It has happened before.

As for MK vs. DC, I'm warming up to it the more gameplay I see.

Anyone who knows anything about Valve knew in advance that Ep3 probably wouldn't show at E3. There have not been sufficient delays for a product to be shown; Valve needs at least two delays.

Keyblock, the G-man isn't altering time; he moves outside of normal time/space. So he isn't stopping time, it's just that he picks one 'keyframe' of time to move around in. This is how he can appear in just the right place at just the right time, and how it appears he's slowing time down. It's technological, if anything, not a power like what the vortigaunts have.

The reason they could extricate Gordon from stasis was because the vortessence allows them to dissolve the 'false veils of time and space,' which allowed them to reach Gordon and bring him back. You can see in Episode 2, however, that when their concentration is elsewhere the G-man can step in and give you those wacky hallucinations.

Suicid3: "I honestly don't even remember seeing the G-man in Half-Life 2 lol Except for in the cinematic of course."

There are eight different places to find the G-Man in HL2.

As to who he is, he's an intergalactic bureaucrat. He was the one who delivered the Xenian crystal sample that caused the resonance cascade in HL1, engineering the events that triggered the Xenian occupation. HL1 ends with the G-Man stating that his mysterious "employers" have taken control of the border world, which is the hub for all intergalactic travel between universes. It's also the only way to use local teleportation, which is why the Combine want it so badly.

At the end of Half-Life, you're recruited by the G-Man.

In HL2, it's hinted at that the resistance bartered something for your "awakening;" the G-Man was selling your services to the highest bidder. Of course, he also states that there were certain offers he never considered taking until AFTER the events at the citadel, so whether something was actually offered in trade, or whether he loaned you out to defeat the Combine for his own ends has yet to be seen. This makes him something like your manager, and you his (unwitting) agent for hire.

As of Episode 2, it seems like he wants you to go to the Borealis and take the portal technology developed by Aperture Science, which is why Eli Vance was so adamant about you destroying it. This will be the plot of Episode 3.

So we know from interactions that the G-Man is not a figment of Gordon's imagination. After that everybody's got their own theories. Me personally, I believe that the "employers" he's mentioned on several occasions, the ones who impose restrictions on what he can and cannot do, and those he even had to get clearance from to hire Freeman in the first place, they're likely a competing faction with the Combine, G-Man possibly being Earth's representative...in the G-Man's .cpp file there's a comment line that reads, "//Misunderstood servant of the people." I don't buy into that "He's an alien in a host body" shit. It's too cliche. But who knows?

Obstinance.

Hmm, favorite cartoon character...I think this question is impossible for me. My whole life is watching cartoons, so to pick just one character...I'm just going to say Shreeky from Care Bears.

Dwarfcannon, the character "The Red Guy" was originally from Cow and Chicken, but later made cameos on I Am Weasel. He always changed his name every episode; usually his name was a play on words about butts.

11 I'd close this thread if I could...-even.

This thread is a complete disappointment.

Six buttons? So it's a fighter? Hmm, that gets me thinking...

If Wegame employees were fighting game characters, I'd be the counter type, mixed with a little bit of shoto-influence. My super would be summoning all the consoles and PC sitting on my desk to hit my opponent. Down-back, HCQ, down-forward + P.

Gorndt would be a charge character. He'd have a variation on Balrog's megaton punch (it'd be called Digg Punch), and one of his supers would be to daze the opponent for a few seconds by blinding them with dazzling light reflected off his head. He'd also have a 720 piledrive super.

Paul would be the trap character, the guy who pokes at you from ridiculous angles and sets you up for quick strings before retreating to turtle in the corner. His supers would be a long-range nerf barrage, and his taunt would be temporary invisibility.

Oxhorn would throw his hat as a projectile. He could also summon all his machinima characters as helper projectiles, and his final attack would be a stampede of all his creations.

Bill would be...some kind of cross between Lord Raptor and I-No. All his attacks would be guitar-based and code-based. Super: he rocks out a string of code from his guitar that stretches across the screen.

Hmm, I'll have to think about some of the other guys.

The final boss would be Jared. He has three forms, MvC-style.
