Half Life 2 G-Man sightings

[SneakyGameBoy]

Im kinna new to Half Life 2 (I have Half Life part one) I got the orange box and finished all of them and noticed I been seeing G-Man couple of times in the games its freaking scary I saw him on one level at a red barn so I got up there and he was nowhere to be found it gave me goosebumps he also showed up on the other two games which was also freaking scary and in weird areas. Is G-Man watching me while playing the game?! Spooky really Spooky.

He's making sure Gordon is doing his job.

The G-man seems to be into everything and nothing at the same time. He looks like a consultant or a lawyer that just arranges some things while he himself stays out of certain areas in the process. And indeed, like already mentioned here, the G-man seems to not only wreck havoc (at the red barn, he just stands there, while the refugees that should be there are... well let's not spoil it shall we? :-)
It's not really certain what his part is... that makes you get the goosebumps when you see him...

actually, at the barn, he just finished filming a new "public headcrab zombie orgie" and was heading off to a new location to create another porno. whenever you don't see him around, he's most likely editing the movies he has created so far.

Are you for serious? I had never noticed that. Also, we have landed on the moon.

Half Life 2
* "A Red Letter Day" (map: d1_trainstation_05): If Gordon flips through the main monitor in Kleiner's Lab a few times, eventually it will come across the G-Man staring at the other side of a fence. G-Man walks away shortly thereafter.
* Route Kanal (map: d1_canals_01): In a resistance member's boxcar, a TV temporarily shows the G-Man, with a Vortigaunt watching and supplying television power. The G-Man appears to be in the same "studio" where Dr. Breen delivers his televised messages to City 17, complete with the Combine's logo.
* Water Hazard (map: d1_canals_06): He is seen standing on a pier in front of the headcrab infested Station 7. As Gordon approaches, he disappears inside.
* Water Hazard (map: d1_canals_06): Vaguely seen in a large rectangular monitor that flickers his image along with other breencasts.
* Water Hazard (map: d1_canals_12): Seen overlooking a ledge as Gordon's airboat passes under.
* Water Hazard (map: d1_canals_13): Before Black Mesa East, the G-Man can be spotted on a concrete ledge near the gate controls. However, once Gordon turns a wheel to raise a gate blocking his progress, the G-Man is no where to be found. Coincidentally, there is a sign pointing to where G-Man stood which states "Observation".
* Water Hazard: When driving in the airboat in a depleted canal, a broken, flickering Breencast monitor can be seen attached to a building. Some of the flickers display a blurry depiction of the G-Man, but it is only possible to see this if playing in slow motion.
* Black Mesa East : Seen behind a fence in the area before the elevator that lead's to Eli's lab. A human and vortigaunt also can be seen in this area.
* "We Don't Go to Ravenholm" (map: d1_town_05): After leaving Ravenholm, he can barely be seen walking off into a tunnel behind a few train cars.
* Highway 17 (map: d2_coast_03): Looking through the Combine binoculars at the second house the player comes to on Highway 17, Gordon can spot the G-Man conversing with Colonel Odessa Cubbage at New Little Odessa, when the player arrives at the base the G-Man is nowhere to be found.
* Nova Prospekt (map: d2_prison_02): Seen walking up to and peering through a door window while adjusting his tie as Gordon flips through the monitors near the beginning of the prison.
* Anticitizen One (map: d3_c17_02): In a ruined tenement building in City 17, an image of the G-Man standing in a wooden boat with a crow on his shoulder is seen briefly on a television along with some very discordant music. Strangely, the TV is unplugged, and if the player approaches the TV it will turn off.
* Anticitizen One (map: d3_c17_03): Similar to the giant rectangular monitor seen in the canals, the G-Man's image flickers on and off with Doctor Breen's, before the monitor is toppled by resistance members.

[edit] Half-Life 2: Episode One

* There are no G-Man sightings in Episode One apart from his appearance in the introductory scene. It is possible that this is because the events of Episode One are not part of the G-Man's plan, as suggested by the apparent Vortigaunt intervention in the opening sequence. He does not have his signature briefcase with him here.

[edit] Half-Life 2: Episode Two

* Freeman Pontifex The G-Man can be seen watching Freeman for the first time since the Vortigaunt intervention in Episode One watching from a bridge as the player watches from the overlook. Then the G-man walks towards a gate and disappears behind a wall. This was mentioned in the commentary of the episode.
* Under the Radar On the ridge above the inn, get out your crossbow and look towards where your car gets stuck and you'll see the G-Man quickly walking into the inn. You must quickly sprint to the edge of the ridge or you will miss him.
* Our Mutual Fiend The G-Man flickers ominously on the screen which previously showed Dr. Mossman's recording, right before Alyx relays the message to Eli. It should be noted that Alyx is watching the screen as the G-Man appears implying that it might be the G-Man's reminder to "relay this message".

G-Man's been doing that since the first Half Life. How could you have not noticed?

I remember one day I was playing around with noclip in HL2 and I went waaaaaay away from where I was supposed to go. I found a little area with the G-Man sitting on nothing, looking straight ahead. I think it was where the picture in the TV in the train car with the Vortigon and the refugee was being broadcast from. Interesting stuff.

[Wacko-the-Raccoon]

Oh yes, the creepy stalker bastard. At one point I almost began to predict when he might appear and sporadically fired off random .357 rounds at what turned out to be products of my own imagination (that and the occasional headcrab zombie). Then he'd appear, right when my ammo ran out. Fuckin' crafty transdimensional bastard that he is.
