that one guard in black mesa:
"aw man, you cut the ponytail"

[forgottendragonpriestartem]

According to my run he LOVED throwing cinder blocks at CPs and throwing tvs out apartment building windows

[thememester]

MIT graduate, 6'2", nearly 200 pounds. Bro got the brains and the brawn.

[scrumpyscrumpy]

Never spoke, never flinched, never blinked, never aged.
A true beast.

I have this fanon idea that, since hes relatively young and went straight from MIT to Black Mesa, where he lives on-site and gets a tram to work, he does not know how to drive. Thats why the boat and car sections in Half Life 2 are so chaotic.

[monsieurcharlatan]

Yeah, the GMan kept Gordon in stasis for 20 years. However in Gordons perspective it's only been like 3 or 5 days. Meaning, Gordon Freeman experienced the Black Mesa incident and taking down the Combine in only one week.

only thing i know about Gordon is that he is a highly trained professional

[JameAdom]

I’m pretty sure I heard that Gordon’s face in the promotional art, was made by combining all valves employees at the time, into one face

“No other character in gaming can swing a crowbar as fast and hard as Gordon freeman” the barotrauma engineer:

[TylertheCCfan]

some fun facts:
1. the HL2 prima guide goes into a hyper specific detail about his childhood, where he built a butane powered tennis ball launcher at the age of 6.

2.When Gordon is captured at the end of "Apprehension" in HL1, instead of the fade to black, there was going to be a third person cutscene from the POV of a security camera, although the idea was scrapped, Valve seemingly put a lot of work into it, as animations for Gordon and HECU grunts that were likely meant for the ambush can be found in the SDK and the files for the limited access Half-Life: Day One demo, such as Gordon getting pinned down and Hgrunts tackling, and diving down from a ledge, the cut Human Sergeant may have also been intended to be used in the scene as well, as he has a jumping down animation that could've been for jumping down from a tall crate, something that could easily hide him out of view from the player, but not the camera, every fan recreation of the ambush scene that I have seen has included him as part of it, so there seems to be a common fan agreement on him being part of it.

3. Despite Gordon being the series main protagonist, he is not one of the only 2 characters to appear in every official game/ expansion set during the Black Mesa Incident, those being the G-Man and Gina Cross, Gordon was meant to appear in Half-Life: Decay, in what was intended to be the true 9th mission, in where part of the mission Gina Gross and Colette Green attempt to rescue Gordon from the HECU and prevent his death, and would answer why the HECU didn't just shoot him when they had him captured, revealing that the two grunts planned to hold him over the garbage compactor and shoot him, resulting in his body falling in and then turning on the compactor, the two doctors successfully kill the grunts, but because Gordon is unconscious and no one is holding him, he falls in. Similarly to the ambush scene, animations for the scene were made with both Gordon and the grunt having two animations each for it, with Gordon having one for being held and then one for falling, and the grunts having one for holding Gordon and then one for shooting him, additionally the grunts have recorded dialogue for this scene, the voice lines in question are "alt_soldier04", "alt_soldier05" and "alt_soldier07" to "alt_soldier12", "alt_soldier06" is said to be made for mission 9 but the use of "they" in it doesn't make sense for 2 grunts talking to each other and Gordon, additionally the trash compactor area was redesigned in the PS2 port seemingly for this scene.

The Gordon model we see in HLA has different facial features from the HL2 and HL1 version, I still think it's a great model, but it looks like they made him more nerdy looking.

[randomolisher]

Another fact is that He’s not actually mute

[Katelyn.shitposts]

Dr. Freeman was also at the Innsbruck experiment in (I think it's) Switzerland. This is where Dr. Kleiner recommended he apply for Black Mesa.

[velocity]

I think the most fascinating thing about his character is the fact that they kind of just gave him the last name Freeman in the first game. Then in half life 2 almost everyone partnered with the resistance views him as a messiah figure making the name freeman almost biblical. Really makes the player feel important to the world they’re in and gives his character a mythical aura no other video game protagonist has.

[Rudy_Play]

Fun fact, in the first Half-life, the sounds of weapons, HEV, and interaction are voiced by Gordon Freeman. This can be seen if you let your opponent kill you in the third person. Gordon will have his mouth open as he voices of HEV

[johnedward]

He fought Nihilanth, won and became friends with Vortis. He's a hero

[lamentaton]

You forgot the fact that he somehow have the ability to jump backwards continuously until he reach 300+ mph

[Jimmylin]

I once hit a combine dropship with a crowbar

[freedoomer]

Gordon is a highly trained professional

[SniperPlayzGames]

one easter egg is that: in half-life opposing force gorden freeman wears sun glasses instead of normal glasses
