I don't care if it gets more views now, it's already in the top 25. :p

I remember that in the game. I was trying to get the hover boar up on top of a raised cement platform, and then I saw him iff in the distance. I was like, "Dude! G-Man!!"

It's the G-Man from HL2. I'm not sure if that's actual in-game footage or if it's just a preconstructed setting for the screenshot. If that's where I think it is, the waterways portion, you don't have any weapons you can zoom with yet. :confused:

Wait... CAN you zoom with any weapons?

That's a G-man sighting in HL2. That must have something to do with it.
Oh, and read those essay pages if you haven't already. It's a unique look at the story of Oedipus.

well, if anything at all, the exposure to the picture on this thread is going to increase its spot on the top 25 of all time.

chances are, it is linked to another board or something.

that's true. i think dwell did it after that essay was linked to fark.com?

but anyhow, if you paste a link to someone without being on AT, it still takes you to the image, so something like that has to be the cause of it.

I could have sworn there were a few other forums that could link to it. why would they have non fuse talk generated code after you upload a pic.

There was a thread in Software awhile back for G-man sightings in HL2. For some reason a lot of the pics in that thread got a HUGE number of hits. I have no idea how or why.

Oh that's right. The newest version, version 3, was written in such a way that it would be less anandtech-only-feeling to those who wanted to install and use the PICS software on their own pic hosting site. I forgot about that.
