A Few Good G-Men

In the Half-Life series, there is a recurring character nicknamed by fans (and accepted by the game's developers) the G-Man (short for Government Man). He is always out of reach and it is impossible to harm him. He pulls the strings throughout the games, to make sure the player survives the hazards they encounter.

This is a Machinima (a Movie made in a Video Game) using lines from A Few Good Men and choreographed, filmed and edited by R. Glass.

Portal

This is Gameplay footage for the game, Portal. In this game, you have the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device, a tool that fires portals or wormholes. With only one portal out, it's a black hole, but it is blocked by a wall inside the portal. With two, it's a wormhole. This game encourages the use of the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device to solve the puzzles.

Civil Protection: On a Rail

This is a video I thought was pretty funny. But maybe that's just because I like Half-Life 2.

The Civil Protection are like Thought Police in the game. They oppress the citizens, beat them, and keep order. Except in this series, they are portrayed as goofing off and wreaking havoc.



The world of Half-Life 2 is set in a dystopia around 2013. The Combine, a massive, undefeated Alien conglamorate, have invaded Earth and enslaved the humans.

Yeah, that's pretty much it.
