[S2FM] Observation Terminated

My personal headcanon for the talk that ended up with Gordon fired during the events of Half-Life: Alyx. Far, far too many hacks were made to make this video work surprisingly enough, and there were a few extra things I'd like to have included in the video, but regardless, hopefully, it paid off :)
Thanks to @JapaneseBushBaby ( / japanesebushbaby ) for the fantastic G-Man impression!

TH-cam's compression sort of ruined 1080p, so I upscaled it to 1440p and managed to get TH-cam's better encoding system for the video; while it's still compressed on 1080p, 1440p looks better. Even if you don't have a 1440p monitor or phone, you can still view it at that resolution (though in my experience it may lag for you, ruining the 60fps aspect). Hope you guys enjoy this project nonetheless!

I feel like it says something when I am clicking on a SFM video with g-man as the thumbnail expecting a funny and not a legit serious quality headcanon animation

[@nsgamingallen1308]

this is incredible. It also fits. I dont see a lot of people who get G-MAN right. But his subtle movements, the scene below among other things is done so well I would not be surprised if this was the actual scene.

[@ericduran-valle4086]

He doesn't have the briefcase because he's done doing business with Gordon.

[@redisdead628-2.0]

Gman throwing gordon out on the street is the saddest thing I've ever seen, I'm literally shirtinc ant cryng rn

[@RadionessYouTube]

I immediately recognised Dave´s G-Man voice. The audio quality is actually better than actual Half-Life sounds.

[@jackbacon6431]

Turns out G-man's "employers" are Valve

[@psell8628]

I like that the camera movements mimic how a player's head would move when they're playing the game in VR. Great work!

[@robodoesedits8666]

very good its quite rare that we see a SFM2 video that isnt a complete joke literally and figuratively

[@doktor_111]

Best Half-Life 3 intro i've ever seen

[@camo_tnt]

The most logical progression for half-life's story, in my opinion: Gordon goes to the borealis alone to destroy its technology, while Eli stays home to research ways to gain access to alyx. at some point, eli believes he discovered a way to use the borealis technology to get alyx back, and somehow stops gordon from destroying the borealis, which allows the combine to seize the ship.

[@Igrium]

This is absolutely incredible. You deserve way more subs.

[@Winkmyster]

Super well done, you captured Gman's personality well, and showed a plot move he'd realistically make,
it's crazy to think of Gordon being squeezed and spit out like a tube of toothpaste,
but considering Gman's abilities and goal to look into the far future, this feels like HL1 & HL2 EP1/EP2 were just setups for the next big thing,
maybe instead of it really being about world war, this could be the catalyst for a twist of fate in a galactic war?

[@gorilaoz6514]

Ok this is living in free rent in my mind

[@Connor_Kirkpatrick]

I think that G-Man talks a little bit fast, but otherwise, this seems almost in-game. Great work!

[@Pluvillion]

Reality is now warping. We don’t even know if that’s really G-Man or *_we’re_* Gordon.

[@SS-rf1ri]

Maybe he's a bit eager, but yeah he is a little fast

[@patrii9100]

It was a bit off, in my opinion. I've heard the guy do better impressions of G-Man, but this one sounded too nasal and bright.
