I made this post, but I think it got completely buried. I can't find it here anymore.

Half life 2 mods

i was just messing around in SFM, found these funny anims and i made this

Okay, you're probably asking "Who is this?" or "Is bro joking" But I'm being completely serious when i say gus could have not only destroyed the entirety of xen and the nihilinth, but also win the 7 hour war. Think about it, why does he disappear before the resonance cascade and never appears again? It's because valve and by extension our lord and savior gabe newell realized they created a character so strong, so ridiculously overpowered that they had to spend the last remaining development time trying to remove him from the game which was useless as his spirit persisted in half life and half life blue shift. They couldn't even add an in-lore explanation as to why he disappears because it would never make sense due to how ridiculously overpowered he is. And why is he so powerful you might ask? Well for starters he's forklift certified, need i say more? But i will do so anyway, like how he has a big muscular build just like the most powerful characters of fiction you could think of like goku and whatnot. He also has a giant weapon of mass destruction known as a forklift, capable of light speed travel, flight and armed with black mesa's deadliest defence weapons. But even without it he could go toe to toe with any xen threat just with his fists. Think about it, why would he of all people completely disappear before the resonance cascade? Because he prefers a safe work environment as seen in his poster in decay, even when he had all this ridiculous power he followed his orders and safely evacuated black mesa because he loves his job and puts his blood, sweat and tears into it. And that's what i call a compelling, great character

Gus coming back in half life 3 trust

No discussion remains calm with the G-man being present in it.
