unfortunately for anyone who enjoys having respect for me i'm only sort of joking, i think if newell wasn't the name on the sign the sign is a straightforwardly good connection to make! related fun fan theories: gman was a black mesa dude who schism'd with breen

I always thought he was a type of interdimensional broker, taking clients that want to alter the state of things or course of events and employing a gaggle of wildcard motherfuckers like Gordon to inject strategically into time+space

safe to say that is what he is now, but when did he become that! many theories

when making HLA they forgot about this, but!!! in hl1 the gman talks about his employers, and 20 years later in hl2 era he never mentions them, he talks about making all gordon-related decisions himself, he used to have to bother with dissenters but doesn't anymore, and his briefcase logo is gone

I could've swore he mentions his employers again because I haven't played half life 1 myself and I distinctly remember him mentioning them during alyx, am I mistaken?

another idea that always floated around in my head was that the gman orchestrated the rezzo casc specifically in order to get out from under his employers as some element of a sort of coup
