''Full Life Consequences'' was sufficiently popular to inspire a [[Live Action Adaptation]]; [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5HmujaPtKI see the results for yourself.] There was also a few [[Animated Adaptation|animated adaptations]] of the first chapter, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CSzDjdeFDA a Flash animation] one by Vegeta897, and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk9QYnVw6oc another] by amazingtrout. The latter uses a very similar formula to Djy1991's machinima, and both actually ''[[Older Than They Think|predate ]]''[[Older Than They Think|it by at least half a year]], although you probably wouldn't tell from the [[YouTube]] comments.

Solo machinimator Gaz6231 released alternative adaptations of the ''Hero Beggining'' chapters several weeks before the Djy1991 versions. They take a very different style than the above adaptations, favoring intentional [[Narm Charm]] and increased body animation over jovial mockery and lip movement. Gaz6231 himself describes it as "the [[Martin Scorsese]] to their [[Michael Bay]]". While the ''Hero Beggining'' video is [[Special Effects Failure|clearly Gaz6231's first work]], the ''Free Man'' video is [[Grow the Beard|much more polished and has earned its own following]]. Also unlike the Icton Entertainment videos, all animation, editing, and voices are created by one man. [[Broken Base|There is a bitter dispute as to which series is better]], especially in the case of ''Free Man''.
Other machinmas and dramatic readings of the various chapters exist, but [[Sturgeon's Law|few of them have the notability of the above authors.]]
Compare ''[[Doom: Repercussions of Evil]]''. And [[Peter Chimaera|Peter Chimaera's]] other fic, ''[[Quarter-Life: Halfway To Destruction|Quarter Life: Halfway to Destruction]]''. Although it may well be [[Follow the Leader|a cash in]] on Full Life Consequences, it is amazing in that he only wrote it after [[Uncyclopedia|Uncycylopedia]], an online encyclopedia like [[Wikipedia]] said he was writing it and decided '[[Sure Why Not|Yeh, ok]]' and the [[Big Bad]]'s evil plot is to destroy Dallas.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Aliens and Monsters]] - And final bosses and next bosses and Combines. Also the [[Trope Namer]].
** John Freeman put the laser gun on his motorcycle and his machine gun and his rocket gun that he found on the side of the motorcycle.
*** And also, when John Freeman is stopped by the headcrab zombie police officer, he's able to shoot him in the head with something, despite apparently not having a weapon until he gets to Ravenholdm.
* [[Attack! Attack! Attack!]] - Some of the rebels get killed during the uprising but they keep on going because they have to [[Innocent Innuendo|do it.]]
* [[Beige Prose]]
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] - {{spoiler|After Gordon Freeman becomes a headcrab zombie, the Combines come and put science in him to make him live and strong and big. He is slain again when John Freeman [[Mind Screw|kicks the science off his face.]]}}
* [[Cain and Abel]]
* [[Decoy Protagonist]] - Hero Beggining, the next-to-last part of the FLC series, follows Henry Freeman shoting at Combines, throwing stiders with gravity guns, and eventually climaxing with John Freeman's appearance (out of a portal ''in the sky'') yelling {{spoiler|[[Wham! Line|"Combines leave my son alone".]]}}
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]
** It's a good day to do what has to be done by me and help my brother to defeat the enemys.
** John Freeman loked back and saw Gordon get steppd on by the next boss and he was mad and angry.
Line 69:
** he turned on off the computer and wet on the platform again down to his other more faster motorcycle that had gas in it this time.
** John Freeman walked like speed of light back to his motorcycl and left behind the bad place behind him.
** [[Mind Screw|He didnt want nothing to happen to Henry Freeman because Henry Freeman was John Freeman saw Combines start to run like monsters to humens and Henry Freeman and saw Henry Freeman and humens run like brave to Combines.]]
* [[Determinator]] - {{spoiler|John Freeman braved the Combines' assault of <s>machine</s> masheen guns and '''rockets''' to try to disable the tower and save <s>mankind</s> humenkind. At one point, John Freeman is backstabbed by a Combine, but not only does this fail to slow him, but John Freeman pulls the <s>knife</s> nife out and <s>brains</s> ''[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|branes the Combine with it]]''.}}
** ...One rocket hit {{spoiler|John Freeman}} but he got up... Yes, very determined.
* [[Deus Ex Machina]] - At the end of ''Hero Beginning'' and at the start of ''Free Man'', {{spoiler|John Freeman <s>pops out from a portal</s> '''backflips''' out of the sky to tell the Combines to leave [[Luke, I Am Your Father|his son]] alone.}}
** After being shot ''by'' bullets in the eye from '''teh gun''' by John Freeman, mind you.
* [["
** He is even a friend to non-living things, as he feels bad about killing the zombie goasts.
** Somehow averted only once in the entire saga.
** Arguably, {{spoiler|John Freeman as well.}}
* [[Guns Are Worthless]]
{{quote|'''John Freeman.''' I have to kill fast and bullets too slow}}
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]] - Gordon Freeman warns John Freeman to flee just before he's crushed by the [[True Final Boss|"next boss"]].
** Also, {{spoiler|John Freeman in ''Free Man''. "John Freeman, Saver of Humens". * sniff* }}
<!-- comment* - [[spoiler:"John Freeman [kicked] Gordon Freeman...The science flew off Gordon Freemans face and landed and blowed up in a boom...." Yes, John Freeman beat the science out of Gordon Freeman to save him, whatever that means.]] -->
<!-- comment** Apparently, "science" is supposed to refer to [[spoiler:the Combine implants that Gordon Freeman received]], although if that were true, [[spoiler:''kicking them off'']] wouldn't make sense either. -->
<!-- comment** And John Freeman shoots at the final boss with some bullets that in turn shoot the final boss in the eye. -->
* [["
** And it gave them hop!
{{quote|'''John Freeman.''' Zombie goasts, I have killed your friends at the old house and I don't want to shoot your heads. [[Last Second Chance|Move near the countrysides and you will be friends of John Freeman!]]}}
* [[Lightning Bruiser]] - John Freeman does everything fast, but don't think he's a [[Fragile Speedster]]. See [[Made of Iron]], below.
** There is some credence to this in that, in the Half-Life game universe, a character with full health and armor can take a whole lot of punishment, especially on lower difficulty settings.
** Subverted in ''Free Man'': {{spoiler|John Freeman, needing to "kill fast" suddenly decides that "bullets too slow", so he drops his wepon and proceeds to kill the Combines in his way with his <s>bare</s> bear hands.}}
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]] - Zombie goasts. Zombies that are also [[Our Ghosts Are Different|"goasts"]].
** Well they're zombie goasts. They've already been dead at least two times over.
*** [[Third Time's the Charm]].
** Then again, he was manning his speed trap even after becoming a headcrab zombie. That's a dedicated police officer right there.
** "I have to kill fast, and ''bullets too slow."''
** John Freeman has two speeds: "Walk fast", and "backflip".
*** He frontflipped one time too.
** It may have meant to say "rockets". But with squirrelking, you can never be sure.
*** Then again, he said "rackets" instead of rockets in ''Free Man''...
** Combine "science" in {{spoiler|Gordon Freeman}} turns him evil.
**** {{spoiler|Gordon Freeman}}'(a scientist)' is actually a hero. It seems like only Combine science is bad and made you tricked, bro.
* [[Stuffed Into the Fridge]]
{{quote|'''The Dark Man:''' {{spoiler|Henry Freeman's Mom}} is shot in head.}}
** For example, "wepon" is initially a simple misspelling of a word that he usually manages to spell correctly. A few stories later, and "wepon" pops up in all of his stories, often with fanfare.
** Also, squirrelking uses the word "human" multiple times in ''Halo: Halos in Space''. Yet suddenly, when ''Hero Begginings'' turns around, they're "humens"!
** But he does it so the zombie goasts will be at piece.
** Also, in Free Man, {{spoiler|Combine Gordon Freeman plans to make John Freeman and Henry Freeman headcrab zombies.}}
=== The machinimas provide examples of: ===
* [[Adaptation Expansion]] - Djy1991's version of ''Free Man'' contains about seven minutes of entirely added-in carnage, wherein John Freeman meets and then kills a bunch of Combines, hijacks a bioflyer, ''throws a freight train'', meets [[Running Gag|and then kills]] [[Portal (series)|GLaDOS]]...
** Played straight in ''Free Man'' when {{spoiler|Combine Gordon Freeman angers at John Freeman}} in the Gaz6231 version.
** It's ''hilarious''.
** Characters from other Valve games are members of [[La Résistance]].
** Also, I don't think all of them are sight gags, I think some of these cameos are rebels.
* [[Foe-Tossing Charge]]
* [[Go for the Eye]]
* [[Must Make Amends]] - John Freeman disturbs the eggs on a tree while test-firing the laser gun. He puts them back home safe, [[Crowning Moment of Funny|but the machinima disagrees.]]
* [[Mythology Gag]] - In Djy's adaptation of ''Free Man'', {{spoiler|after the world's peaceful}}, Grigori appears next to a bear when they say the people and animals lived in peace, there's a reason that Grigori is described as an animal in the Adaptation: {{spoiler|It was a [[Throw It In]] gag in the original [[Garry's Mod]], where Grigori was placed as an animal rather than an ally, to be fair, [[Crazy Awesome|it wasn't that far from the truth]]}}.
* [[Shout-Out]] - Watch the music video at the end of Djy's adaptation of Free Man until you get to "the birds and the sun was almost down from the top of the sky" and look at John Freeman's pose. Remind you of [[Kamen Rider Kabuto|a certain other God Mode Sue?]]
{{quote|"''STOP THE HUMENS!''"}}
** The Djy's version of ''Free Man'' includes a music video of it.
** WEPON! WEPON! WEWEPON PON WEPONWEPON!
** Djy's version also invokes a bit of this - this is one of the few scenes where John Freeman's face doesn't contort sporadically.
** So does Djy's version.
** Gaz and Djy ''both'' do. Ex: '''''BEAR HANDS!'''''
** Lending evidence to the theory that he and {{spoiler|Gordon Freeman}} are the same.
