What In The Hell?
*** !! WARNING: POSSIBLE HL2 SPOILER !! ***
I was playing through HL2 again to see what I might have missed when I was caught up in the game. I found something I definately missed. When you're chasing Breen from his office after he steals the blue gravity gun, you go up an elevator with Alex. Once the elevator reaches the top, you run down a hallway until you reach a door with a force shield that Alex disrupts. While you're running down the hall, you can see something weird on the monitor. As Alex lowers the shield, the monitor turns off and Breen makes his get-away once again.
I captured as many screenshots as I could as I was running up the hallway this time. I took the screenshots and made it into an animated GIF, which you can see below. After looking at this thing what seems to be a zillion times ... I've concluded that the image on the monitor could only be one thing: the benefactor(s). What's even more unusual is that they look like giant grubs or maggots ... something in a larve stage that's just nasty to look at. It also looks like it's wearing some kind of face mask or something to that affect, but I really can't be too sure about it. The scene goes by so darn fast that it's really hard to make everything out. What I *can* determine is that this thing is big ... and it's ugly.
As you can see, this thing is fucked up...
I'd love to know what someone who has beaten the game thinks about this. I have a few ideas formulating in my head of what this thing could be, but I want to see other people's thoughts on it before I go and throw out my own. I will give a hint as to what I'm thinking ... the Alien movies. Hmm... hope that doesn't give my thought away too bad. Either way, this 5 second piece of the game could lead to a whole plotline for Half-Life 3 ... assuming that the Gman allows you to come back and help out. Afterall, he did say that there were other interested parties wanting Gordon's services based on his performance with the Combine.
