Related posts on this blog are tagged #gordon streamman .

Don't Spell Memory Without MeΒ - There are two Gordon Freemans. One of them isn't Gordon Freeman, and the other one doesn't exist. Or never existed. It really depends on how you feel about philosophy. Regardless, Gordon has some questions for his friends about the man who wore his character model in their pre-ResCas memories.
Streamer Unconsciousness - If your stressed, exhausted friend falls asleep on your couch during group movie night, the nice thing to do is get him to bed. However, that's a little hard when your friend's body is on another plane of being, and your world is on his computer. Gordon falls asleep in VR.
Run For Your Life - In progress. When unforeseen consequences threaten the Science Teamβs peaceful postgame life, Gordon and his AI friends must face the past and go back to where it all began.

So what's our next step? Where do we look next? If the military was willing to abandon a child in a specimen tank, what could they have done with the others?
βWe have to keep an eye out, and be very, very carefu-β
Hey, itβs no good up there. Itβs all sealed off.
AHHH!
The only way out would be to find someone with scanner access and open the front door Iβm pretty sure thereβs a few scientists hiding somewhere in the labs. Maybe with both of us looking, we can track them down and get them to let us out.
βDonβt! SCARE people like that! Weβre in a hostile work environment for Peteβs Sake. People get SHOT doing stuff like that!β
βNow if youβll excuse us. WE have to find our frien-β
The first night Coomer and Bubby sleep in the same bed after the Half Life 2 incident is difficult.
It's not their first night back. Both slept alone then, and neither would take the bed. Bubby claimed that he wasn't used to such a soft mattress after twenty years (twenty years) making do with what he had in his lab, and that the cot in the basement would suit him just fine. Coomer doesn't try to make an excuse. He hasn't earned the bed of that happily married couple. The man who left Bubby in what he thought to be a dying world gets to sleep on the couch.
(Additional Voices tried to look past the obvious the tension and politely accepted his hosts' offer of a room of his own for the night. Gordon had his new home ready for him by the next afternoon.)
Bubby is the one who suggests they try, but neither is enthusiastic. Coomer feels like an intruder. Bubby feels intruded upon. Both know they can't pick up where they left off the night before the playthrough.
Coomer had long ago accepted that, while his memories from before the Black Mesa incident were automatically generated by the game, they were still his truth and his history. His childhood, his first marriage, his decades together with Bubby-- they had shaped who he was, and so they were real.
Well, now he and Bubby have new auto-generated memories.
He'd stayed. The game had ended, and he had ended with it. They'd shut down together. One day, Gordon woke him up without a body, promising to put the world together for him. When he next awoke, it was in his new Home. They all lived happily ever after.
And,
He'd left. The game kept moving.
He didn't know how to save Bubby. He didn't want to shatter his reality.
He didn't have time to think.
He left him to die.
He came back.
He left him for six years.
He left him for twenty years.
Coomer lies staring at the ceiling for an hour or so before he considers moving back to the couch. He sits up, sighing. He's considers whether the movement of attaching his legs would be enough to wake Bubby when he feels an arm fumbling to grasp his pajamas.
"I don't want you to leave again."
The words are mumbled. Coomer's not even sure Bubby is fully awake, but the grip on the corner of his shirt tightens.
"Please don't."
Wordlessly, he shuffles back under the covers. Bubby clings to his body.
They're not ready to talk about forgiveness yet. But that's not really what either of them needs right now.
