Meet The Real Gordon Freeman, Ready For Action


No more worries about the Large Hadron Collider blowing up the world: The real-life Gordon Freeman is on the scene and he's now officially ready to kick some ass if things get out of hand.

Some background: In September, prior to the activation of the LHC, someone who looked suspiciously like the famous Fark [http://orange.half-life2.com/]) to assemble a world-saving kit, which they promptly sent to CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) along with a note saying, "Get this to Gordon Freeman. He'll know what to do."

With the assistance of Katherine McAlpline, also known as Alpinekat of sent them [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j50ZssEojtM] to Reddit, which has in turn posted them online.

It's reassuring to see Freeman is now properly equipped to save the world should the need arise, but let's not throw a victory party just yet: While the good doctor seemed to keep things bottled up well enough in the original Half-Life, Half-Life 2 demonstrated that even his great effort at Black Mesa wasn't enough to keep the world from being thoroughly demolished at the hands of a mysterious, malevolent alien power. In fact, should it become necessary to call the Freeman doppelganger into action, the great likelihood is that you'll be dead anyway, or even worse, turned into some sort of horrifically deformed mutant zombie, trapped in a half-mindless state of eternal torment. Yes, there's no doubt that the lucky ones will die quickly.

But until that happens, you may as well check out the full photo gallery TED.com [http://picasaweb.google.com/reddit/GordonFreemanCERNAndAWreckingBar?authkey=bqut7SFV-Cc#].

The world is safe! Now that he has his crowbar, nothing can possibly go wrong with the LHC.

I never heard about this. G-man must dropped him off here a few months ago so he could "the right man in the wrong place".

Get ready guys, the headcrabs are coming, we can only hope that Dr freeman (obviously posing Sandro Bonacini) can save our ass.

No, we need at least one picture of him balancing concrete blocks on the end of a see-saw to prove it is really him :D

We're doomed. Get your crowbars and HEV suits ready. The Resonance Cascade Scenario is for real man!

How did the guy even known what to do with those things? This might mean he's played Half-Life! ...Or had first hand experience!

Forebode is present, people.

Yet another reason why physics and atomics(?) are my favorite branches in science :D
