I just thought of somthing. Valve said they were considering having a mute character into Episode 3. Gordon doesn't ever talk, or is implied to have talked.

Could I have a link to this, please?

Yea, link please, and don't tell me Half Life 1 and 2 are completely free of dialogue, besides the roaring/whatever of monsters.

There's plenty of dialogue in HL. It's all other people telling Gordon where to go next though. He NEVER says a word back. And unlike most silent heroes they don't respond to any assumed greeting or speech from Gordon.

[Tradanbattlan]

A good example of this is in Half Life 2, where you ride in an elevator with Alyx. She says something, then after getting no response, comments on how Gordon is all quiet and stuff.

Video games for the deaf who are too lazy to read?

It doesn't seem strange in HL1, but HL2 has such strong characters that you have to wonder why they aren't surprised Gordon never speaks.  Alyx calls calls him "the silent type, huh" on meeting, but that's about it. 

Gordon being mute, signing, that could explain it!  He even puts his gun/hands out of view when you point at an ally!

I move for Gordon Freeman to be placed in the special bracket against Sandworm.

Because really, he's tamed worse giant sand monsters. With some sort of squishy organ dog toy...

[ECrownofFire]

Gordon was voted the best hero of all time. Nobody can beat that. Okay, maybe the best villain of all time, but has there even been voting for that?

Judge Claude Frollo?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

"Oh, please", you say, "Disney villains can't be that bad". Yeah, I suppose a guy who opens the film by murdering an innocent woman and only not drowning an infant in frezing water due to creepy statues can't be that bad, right? Who decides that if he can't have the girl, only hell can? Nah, he's a pushover.

[Josephus]

Judge Frollo makes Darth Vader look like a bitch. He has something more terrifying than the force: sheer bloody-minded self-righteousness.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Darth Vader falls short in the evil department due to being sympathetic, tragic, and has some good left to him. Frollo refrains from taking the most insane evil path exactly once, and only out of paranoid self-interest.

The best part is that Disney didn't leave this behind from the original novel. Instead of toning things down, they ramped Frollo's evil rating way up. He was tragic and sympathetic in the orginal work.

[Heron TSG]

Of course they had to make him evil-er. That way the children watching the movie could tell he was evil!

[Josephus]

They split him into two characters. And the good side of his character has about four sung lines and one spoken line. That should tell you how evil the Disney Frollo was.

I mean, they didn't just make him Maleficent evil. They made him balls-out irredeemable evil.

Third Colossus. The glory I felt when I worked out what to do. The glory.
