IHVTest - Blonde Barney?

Back when the supposed Episode 3 concept art leaked, I knew some of it looked familiar, but I couldn’t exactly put my finger on how or what it was. It turns out it reminded me of the IHV(Independent Hardware Vendor) Test textures. Anyone else think they might have planned a fourth set of citizen outfits for the arctic levels & this was the earliest design?

(Valve might finally add a blonde character to Half-Life! :fffuuu :slight_smile:

Interesting…

It’s mostly the nose/mouth area on the one with the goggles down. That & the domino mask reminded me of smaller goggles quickly drawn into the texture.

barney is batman

this explains everything

No its Security man!

Super Sayan!

So Half-Life 3 is merged with a batman game? This shit will be awesome.

He’s the Milkman…

Looks like the lawnmower man.

His milk is delicious.
