"AND STOP FUCKING WITH THE MICROWAVE"

[outre]

That day was so chaotic hundreds, thousands, maybe even millions died, Black Mesa was Nuked, aliens teleporting in at random, yet Magnuson was still a mad at the loss of his lunch.

[UnderdarkTrans]

Everyone's making fun of him for holding a grudge, but imagine if the last memory you had before the bombs went off and civilization as you know it turn to ash was some dickhead destroying the last real meal you would ever have.

[renejewell]

Amazing even after 20 years and all the shit that had happened in his life he still remembered that Gordon ruined his lunch

[ploopydre]

So what your telling me is that Gordon Freeman did not make up for that casserole after doing everything he's done so far

[BoinglyTheth]

"STOP FUCKING WITH MICROWAVE FREEMAN!!!!"

[Wyatt_the_Mage]

Honestly, Magnuson is justified for holding a grudge, he probably never got another chance to get a casserole during the 20 years between the Black Mesa Incident and Gordon’s return

[therealsquimby]

I think they exploded a headcrab for the effect. You can see a leg fall out.

[Kirbman]

Even after 20 years and the collapse of human civilization, he's still mad at Gordon over this. That's some next level pettiness.

[samsarex]

You never know when or what your last meal will be

His reaction is perfectly understandable

[IAmTheNerdNextDoor]

Imagine having a mute guy blow up your microwave casserole then cause the end of the world all within 10 minutes.

so thats what Magnusson was talking about, I NEVER KNEW YOU COULD EVEN INTERACT WITH THE MICROWAVE OMG! i always passed through it in my playthrough

[sungoner]

The whole point of the resonance cascade was so that Magnison could not forget about his lunch that day and be haunted by it forever

[jendouglas]

I love how the Waltet scientist walks up to the microwave and contemplates telling Magnusson about it

[mathsyasian]

I saw the 2d animation first and had absolutely zero context, this helps me sleep at night

[labenv]

In Black Mesa, I love how they extended that scene.

A Guard and Female Scientist are there and if you explode it, they both freak out and the guard investigates, telling you "Make like a tree and bark cause that was you-know-whoses lunch."

[franekpro]

Eli has been through evil and torment of bullsquids from Xen and the Combine
Barney had been trying to escape with Rosenberg and Walter through vicious pressure of the HECU and Xen
Magnusson is just mad at his breakfast being blown up at 9:03 AM

[haziqfahmi]

When I first play half life over 10 years ago, I suddenly got natural instinct of spamming "E" with the microwave 😂😂

[Demoknightf]

You know, still being mad at freeman for the casserole might seem petty, but when you think about it, that was probably the last meal he could eat in peace. Afterwards he had to deal with soldiers, aliens, and probably a hell of a lot of trauma

[sketchymittens]

I laughed so hard when Magnusson revealed he was talking about his casserole, totally caught me off guard.
