I'll never understand how Valve managed to fuck up Chell's appearance so badly in the first Portal. It's unclear whether it was the crunch the small team were under to get Portal out the door; or simply just poor craftsmanship, but Chell's model is CRIMINALLY unfinished. Just looking at Chell side-by-side with her reference model, Alesia Glidewell (Who may I remind the audience is drop-dead gorgeous), makes that PAINFULLY clear.

The poor model quality is especially astounding considering Valve's previous work with Half-Life 2's characters, who were all captured from real-world reference models just like Chell. If we compare Alyx Vance and her reference model Jamil Higley, we see how bizarre Chell's appearance is.

And not to drag this on further, but the issue is only compounded in Portal 2, where Chell received a full makeover, bringing her model and texture quality up, while also helping her further resemble Alesia; while her Portal 1 model remained completely unchanged. And perhaps as the cherry on top, Valve has been known to backport newer models to earlier entries in their franchises before, as happened to Alyx Vance. SO WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE, VALVE???

Alyx: If we take a separate route, we could draw the Combine away from you. That'd give you a chance to get the trains filled up before we get there! Barney: It's too risky! What if something happens to you and you can't make it before the Citadel blows? A: We'll be fine! And besides, Gordon thinks it's a good plan! B: If Gordon jumped off a cliff, would you? A: *uncomfortably silent* B: ALYX! A: Well- I- er- I mean, it depends! B: DON'T JUMP OFF A CLIFF! A: I mean I wasn't planning on it B: But if Gordon jumped, you would? A: *further uncomfortably silent* B: ALYX!

Yk what we don't get enough of? Fucked up Gordon Freeman. Not just from PTSD or being socially awkward, I want his fight or flight to kick in every single time something threatens his newfound family.

And by god, I want him to pick fight.

Rant under the cut

Maybe it's my love for dark romances, or tragic ones, for that matter, but I love the idea of Gordon hoarding his family, even at the expense of the rebellions success.

I remember back in my very first playthrough of Half Life, I wouldn't let ANYTHING touch the surviving scientists/guards. The guards specifically, I didn't even know they were supposed to fight along side you because I always backtracked to take them to safer areas of the map, resetting time and time again when something would jump out and kill them. I didn't even know scientists could heal you because I was THAT paranoid about an alien zapping in front of one of them after seeing so many clones of that pc die.

I'd like to think that Gordon has the same mentality. From physically counting the bullets and memorizing it for each enemy, saving ammo just in case he runs out, even though the case is always full, I'd like to think that extends to the people he's grown to love.

Does anyone remember the garage level in HL2EP1, where Gordon and Alyx were paired together in the dark? Him only having a flashlight while she had all the ammo? Imagine Alyx's horror when the gravity gun pushes something up against an office door, trapping her inside as Gordon forces himself through the onslaught of zombies, his flashlight clicking out while gasoline barrels explode around him. Throwing rocks and old bricks at zombies instead of just letting Alyx take them on with her endless supply of bullets, running out of sight and activating the next horde later on down the map. Alyx can only hear the signs of a struggle as Gordon clears the entire area himself, her anxiety keeping her locked away in the isolated room, blind to the mess beyond the concrete walls.

Even when power is given back to the elevator lift, when it opens and they have enough room to make their grand escape, he still fights. Fights through a pointless battle, wasting valuable time that could get them on that train faster, completely draining the parking lot of any other forms of life. Gordon's suit power is completely dead, his health is a mere fraction of what it was an hour ago, yet his impatient hands pull Alyx by the sleeve of her arm to make sure she's the first on the lift. They take even more time in the old hospital scouting for medical supply just so Gordon can walk straight again. Eating at so much of their limited time, for no sort of gain.

I'd like to think he does it platonically as well. So far, we haven't gotten any fight scenes with Eli, or anything where we work with him in a dangerous level, so that's up for debate. But, remember the level where him and Barney work together to take down a main combine outpost in the city? Taking a small rebel group with them? I love the idea of Gordon using himself as a human shield, running right for the turrets and tackling them before a bullet can graze the people who trust him to lead. How much time is wasted as he drags old bomb mines through the level, going back for each one as if they're diamonds in the rubble. Barney is annoyed, of course, he understands being cautious, but when the paranoid leader won't unplug the forcefield in front of them until each and every medkit in the area is right beside them, it's frustrating.

And the icing on the cake? Gordon's trust issues. He doesn't listen to anyone around him, too stubborn, too prideful to see the easier way. After all that he's lost, all the death he's become numb to, being the one free man is a responsibility he holds with a twisted sense of admiration. And he'll be dammed if anyone else will tell him the path to victory.
