What if Gordon was just on shrooms?

Don’t make me bring out Nicholas Cage… I swear to god, man.

Nicolas Cage? Doesn’t even come close to the King!

The King…?

Haven’t you ever heard of…

Duke Nukem?

Yeah, of course… but didn’t he get killed by poor production values, botched releases, cash-grabbing developers, legal battles and a general lack of interest?

Couldn’t you say the same for Nicolas Cage? Name me one bad Duke Nukem game. I can name a few bad Cage movies.

Here you go
Sorry. I couldn’t help myself.

That was a joke review. And he didn’t even say it was bad.

Maybe if he did a couple sheets of sunshine acid and tripped DMT at the same time, then it would be possible to hallucinate the entire resonance cascade, but I doubt it. It amazes me how much things such as shrooms and acid are over-exaggerated these days…

Yeah in fairness mine was a Forever joke too.

Duke Nukem Forever’s title is an amazing example of mirrored foreshadowing.

But what if he sorta just monged out in a corner and imagined the whole thing? And to be honest it would be freakishly hilarious to turn up at work at the top-secret science lab and get totally ripped and then pretend aliens were invading.

Oh, and this has more to do with that Morgan Freeman image from earlier than Cage’s acting.

He didn’t take shrooms because I didn’t shrooms because I AM Freeman*. Your speculation thread has collapsed within itself.

*Valve’s immersion tactics anyone?

I love the amount of Drug users there are on these forums lol.

besides isnt DMT similar to the chemical thats released in your body when your about to die?

If Gordon Freeman was on 'shrooms, things would be along the lines of this:

maybe it was a multiple drug combo that triggered a psychotic episode, like acid, booze and meth, all taken simultaneously and rectally? This explains why he was always late for work :slight_smile:

do you have a problem with me?:meh:

That’s how BMS is going to look, right? With better graphics though.

Of course Freeman was on drugs. How else could he move that fast? You press the up button and it sends him running forward like he was on speed that morning. He was probably late because he had a bad hangover. He even said himself that he didn’t know he was that late.

What if Gordon was on shrooms DURING the RC?

That’s what I’m saying! He can move so fast and handle guns so easily it’s like he’s a natural. The HECU should’ve hired Gordon instead of those ‘pros’ sent to Black Mesa to do him in. He must’ve been on something, because I don’t think a research associate can just pick up an MP5 and have no problems (or regrets) shooting it.

you do realize that Gordon had athletic and weapons training through the Hazard course, right?
And since when do shrooms make you good at handling weaponry ffs

also, morphine
