Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

Gordon Freeman AKA Deckard Cain

[–]Ras_H_Tafari 2 points3 points ago

why on earth did you choose a 20-bit username?

[–]Jynxo 1 point2 points ago

Maybe it's 32bit but zeroes are not shown?

[–]Ras_H_Tafari 1 point2 points ago

I'm just going to imagine it's one of those weird minicomputers from the 70s

[–]joe4show 43 points44 points ago

False, Gordon Freeman eventually becomes a meth dealer. Proof

[–]memeaddictedchick 14 points15 points ago

I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw that. I just wanted him to pick up a crow bar. Just once. Lol

[–]moarthenfeeling 1 point2 points ago

Season 5 Finale spoiler

[–]compaq007 9 points10 points ago

False. Walter White is a meth manufacturer, not a dealer.

[–]TangoDown13 0 points1 point ago

False. He's a chemist.

[–]lasrith 1 point2 points ago

False. He's a highschool chemistry teacher.

[–]The_Music 1 point2 points ago

False. Walter.

[–]joe4show 0 points1 point ago

False. He is the one who knocks.

[–]RankMotleyMindedScut 58 points59 points ago

Obligatory - Half Life 3 finally released.

[–]ImmaBigGreen 18 points19 points ago

First screenshot.

[–]throwmyselfawayisay 6 points7 points ago

"Screenshots". There's 3 of them.

[–]U731lvr 0 points1 point ago

"Gordon. You're needed in the death chamber."

[–]I_smoke_tweeds 0 points1 point ago

Came here to say that. Maaaaan I'm late to every party

[–]RankMotleyMindedScut 0 points1 point ago

You're really late this time. I forgot about this comment already.

[–]manwithfriends 8 points9 points ago

This is what my grandchildren will look like when Half life 3 is released.

[–]dan_t_mann 6 points7 points ago

It looks like George Carlin!

The Gordon Freeman Who Waited [x-post from r/wallpapers] 237coms 1366pts 2mos gaming

[–]foggy10177 2 points3 points ago

That's actually real concept art. The plot of HL3 is to get his medication which he foolishly left in the second floor. He falls down after every few steps, so you have to use the gravity gun to attract furniture and sturdy objects to help keep him up. Also, the stairs run through Ravenholm 2.0.

[–]kodark 4 points5 points ago

I waited for you, Episode 3.

[–]Probably_on_Reddit[S] 4 points5 points ago

I can't even hear that song without thinking of seymour

[–]NocturnalGamer 0 points1 point ago

Classy.

[–]Pieman911 1 point2 points ago

Why yes, this is Reddit!

[–]AtrociousIconoclast 1 point2 points ago

But.. he doesn't age, fights any alien threat during the day, G-Man puts him in stasis by night.

[–]right_foot 1 point2 points ago

Freeman is Kleiner!

[–]Jimwymo 1 point2 points ago

I read this as Morgan freeman and was confused when I opened it

[–]darkarchonlord 1 point2 points ago

Stay awhile and listen.

[–]NintendoStarWarsGuy 1 point2 points ago

Anyone else think he looks like Rahm Kota from the force unleashed?

[–]gannerhorn 2 points3 points ago

Holy shit! That looks EXACTLY like one of the maintenance guys I work with. Cannot unsee!

[–]Otzil -1 points0 points ago

Repost

[–]talonds 2 points3 points ago

Yeah but its Gordon Freeman so it will probably make the front page anyway even though it is a repost.

[–]StatutoryGrape95 0 points1 point ago

How young was freeman in HL1 if HL2 was 20 years later but he looks like 35.

[–]EonOmega 4 points5 points ago

He was put into stasis. He didn't age in the period between HL1-2.

[–]kripsykrememcdonalds 0 points1 point ago

he was 27 during the events of HL1, but like Grape said, he didn't age at all in between the two games, evident in comments like "you haven't changed a bit!"

[–]HCO_ 0 points1 point ago

He somehow still looks really stoically cool.

[–]FrogDie 0 points1 point ago

HLAF LIFE 3?

WHO KNOWS...

[–]StuffPlus 0 points1 point ago

Thats a screenshot of him looking in a mirror in HL3

[–]melmou90 0 points1 point ago

He's seen things.

[–]Ginnit 0 points1 point ago

Stay awhile and listen to "......"

[–]el_bhm 0 points1 point ago

Beard and glasses

Must be Gordon Freeman

[–]lesser_panjandrum 0 points1 point ago

Or his cousin Lester.

[–]Erkmon 0 points1 point ago

is he going to sell me some pot?... he looks like that's what he wants to ask me.

[–]MrSeastar 0 points1 point ago

The star of half life 3

[–]Harkinian94 0 points1 point ago

Yay, a reupload.

[–]Good_Guy_Hayden 0 points1 point ago

Must've been a slow teleport.

[–]OnmyojiOmn 0 points1 point ago

Aged Gordon Freeman, covered in vaseline

[–]ThePhenix 0 points1 point ago

But he's in stasis and doesn't age that much as he's hardly ever out of G-man's freezer.

[–]BeatsbyChrisBrown 0 points1 point ago

When I clicked the link I was like, "Damn this doesn't look anything like Morgan Freeman!"...then I realized my mistake...titty sprinkles...

[–]Emmanuell89 0 points1 point ago

holy shit ! that is amazing

[–]arcaida 0 points1 point ago

Looks like the older version of Adam Savage (Mythbusters)

[–]TheWhiteeKnight 0 points1 point ago

Is this one of the newly released concept arts? Or Fan made?

[–]killjoy95 0 points1 point ago

Isn't that the dude from the opening cutscene of Civ 5?

[–]Lucky_Chance 0 points1 point ago

Wait, Gordon looks like he is 81 in this photo, if we multiply 81 by 3, we get 243, times episode 2 is 486, and add 1000 due to episode 1, we get 1486!! Meaning that half life 3 was created in the past and gaben will make a time machine just to get it in 1486! Plus we can get legal prostitutes while we're there!

[–]dariusz2k 0 points1 point ago

Back in my days we used crowbars and gravity guns, none of this portal business.

[–]yasisterstwat 0 points1 point ago

Carlton Freeman

[–]Beanbaker 3 points4 points ago

I, too, saw the frontpage today.

[–]yasisterstwat 0 points1 point ago

I was the one who submitted it to the front page

[–]Beanbaker 0 points1 point ago

okay...

[–]IAlwayDownVoteMyself 1 point2 points ago

I like to think that Gordon wasn't suspended from aging in the gap between HL1 and 2 and this is what he looks like all throughout HL2. Whenever some says something like "well, you haven't aged a bit Gordon!" they are just playing nice to the fact that he looks terrible.

[–]Kama_Blue 0 points1 point ago

This is horribly reposted, give the god damn real author some credit stupid karma hogs.

[–]rapt0r3 -1 points0 points ago

Anybody else thinks this Gordon looks like Dean Pelton from Community?

[–]SXHarrasmentPanda 3 points4 points ago

Nope.

[–]GabrielMSharp 1 point2 points ago

Maybe Dean Pelton from a very different timeline. Where life got tough in a hurry.

[–]dan013 -1 points0 points ago

I don't even play Half Life and I know this is a repost.

[–]everythingisnew 0 points1 point ago

Do yourself a favor and replay the series.
