good luck today in the test chamber, dr. freeman! by the way, that HEV suit they put you in. is it comfortable? i've heard some people compare it to a corset, but what's your take?
Tumblr media
GF: It feels strange at first, but it becomes something of a second skin once you get used to it.
Tumblr media
GF: It’s almost like sci-fi armor I suppose? 
Tumblr media
GF: I once had a nightmare that the Training Course would shoot real bullets at you to prove the majority of the suit were bulletproof. It felt a little too real.

Besides your family, is there anything else you miss from outside of Black Mesa?
Tumblr media
GF: More of home I guess. Forest...beaches... whatever the great Pacific Northwest has to offer.
Tumblr media
GF: I don’t miss the traffic though.
Tumblr media
GF: Maybe I should just become a hermit scientist with 12 PhDs living in a cozy shack in the middle of the woods.

Weird question, you ever think about havin kids? You seem like you might make a good dad
Tumblr media
GF: No. I can barely take care of myself.
Tumblr media
GF: If I somehow managed to get through my doctorate and have a kid at the same time I think I’d lose my mind.
Tumblr media
GF: Something like that requires an intense amount of strength and tenacity I’m just not built for.

If you had to choose between losing an arm or an eye, which would you choose?
Tumblr media
GF: I’ve thought long and hard about this and the answer may surprise you.
Tumblr media
GF: Neither.
Tumblr media
GF: But I guess there’s no harm in preparing for either scenario starting from now on.
Tumblr media
GF: Since people continue to insist on it.

How are you tying with your eyes closed???
Tumblr media
GF: It’s pretty easy actually! You just need to know which group of letters are on the phone buttons, memorize their placement, and you’re good to go.
Tumblr media
GF: Then you keep pressing the key until you reach the letter, number or symbol you want. It’s much simpler than computer keyboards- There are only twelve ‘keys’, so to speak. It’s all a matter of remembering how it’s oriented.
Tumblr media
GF: ...I made it sound too complicated than it really is. I promise it’s simpler than it sounds. 
Tumblr media
GF: A kid once made fun of me for not typing fast enough on this thing.

Tumblr media
GF: I’d very much elaborate but there’s only so much this little phone can allow me to type.
