Gordon Freeman is 57,000 years old.
…and a half…
Except he has been in exsistense for 47 years.
Existence =/= being alive :hmph:
That was my point. BlackWing94 said wrong, he should have said existence instead of being alive. Since Gordon has been in existence in 47 years, he is 47 years old.
Err, no, he hasn’t been in existence for 47 years. If you are suspended in time you do not effectively exist.
It’s that simple.
This is, of course, assuming that by ‘stasis’ they don’t mean simply freezing him or something. However, considering G-Man’s history of tampering with time and space, I think that’s not likely to be the case.
If he’d be suspended in time how the fuck could those 20 years have passed?
Isn’t that the definition of “stasis” or something?
Please do not assume that I actually care about this time and age issue of yours here. I just couldn’t pass the opening…
Lol @ this…
back to arguing over definition.
Because the G-Man took him out of stasis (suspension) 20 years later?
Stasis actually just means balance or equilibrium, so you could make of it what you want in a science-fiction context.
I’ll stop posting in this thread just to see how it works out, i’ve already used up my good arguments…
I win :3
Pwned.
The real winner is the guy who didn’t waste an entire thread arguing over definition
<-------
You cannot win an argument you do not participate in. Whether or not the argument is a waste of time is irrelevant.
Besides, I like arguments :3
Why didnt this thred die yet,hes 27 in BM,did not age in stais,and oh look he didnt change one iota.
that’s just one conception of language and semiology. there are many more; the most prominent being the one created by charles peirce (One suggestion: never EVER study his work).
That part at least is pretty convincing though. The examples I gave are all true.
Definition still subjective certainly as far as living languages go.
Except no. If definitions were subjective I could say “and the pot ate the clouds since Jesus water fell” and no one could tell me it made no sense because the meaning of those words are subjective.
ofc you can do that when the only thing you do is cover your ears with your hands and repeat the same thing over and over ;f Hard to win with that ;D
