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.]]

 

 

{{spoiler|1=[http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3196540 It eventually turned out to be written by Mattimer, one of the greatest trolls of our time.]}}

----

* [[Aliens and Monsters]] - And final bosses and next bosses and Combines. Also the [[Trope Namer]].

* [[Ass Pull]] - The characters have an uncanny tendency to find wepon on the ground just before entering a battle zone.

** 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.

* [[Author Catchphrase]] - Doing "what has to be done" is a common theme of squirrelking's protagonists.

* [[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.]]

* [[Badass Biker]] - John Freeman

* [[Badass Family]] - The Freemans.

** John Freeman loked back and saw Gordon get steppd on by the next boss and he was mad and angry.

** John Freeman drove in and did another flip n jumped off his motorbike and the motor bike took out some headcrab zombies infront of John Freeman.

** 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.

* [[Diabolus Ex Machina]] - After killing the final boss, the "next boss" appears out of nowhere and step on Gordon Freeman.

* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]] - Gordon Freeman kills the final boss by punching it in the face. No really.

* [[Dissimile]] - "Combines were robot things that werent robots..."

* [[Engrish]] - The author says he started speaking English a short time ago in his profile. This shows a '''lot'''.

* [[Episode Title Card]]: Always consisting of official Half-Life artwork with John Freeman's head taped onto Gordon's body (and Henry Freeman's head taped onto Alyx's body when he appears.) Quarter-Life parodies this by having Gordon's head taped onto his own body.

* [["Everybody Laughs" Ending]] - Subverted. "The laughed overed quickly" when John and Gordon were attacked by the next boss.

* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]], [[Unnamed Parent]]: John Freeman's wife, Henry Freeman's mother.

* [[Facing the Bullets One-Liner]] - Played with in that {{spoiler|Henry Freeman's mother delivers her last message to her son ''after'' her head was shot off.}}

* [[Final Boss]] - The ([[Sorting Algorithm of Evil|not so]]) aptly named [[Big Bad]] of the first chapter.

* [[For the Evulz]] - The Combines beat the humen girl in the street and {{spoiler|kill Henry Freeman's mother}} for no apparent reason.

* [[Foreshadowing]] - Henry Freeman mentions the family name, but if it wasn't obvious at ''that'' point...

** He is even a friend to non-living things, as he feels bad about killing the zombie goasts.

* [[Full-Name Basis]] - In case you haven't noticed by now...

** Arguably, {{spoiler|John Freeman as well.}}

* [[Guns Are Worthless]]

* [[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** And John Freeman shoots at the final boss with some bullets that in turn shoot the final boss in the eye. -->

* [[Hope Spot|Hop Spot]]: In Hero Beggining, humankind seems to be winning, only for more Combine to come, and surround them. {{spoiler|Subverted by the fact John Freeman comes afterward.}}

* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]] - Averted. The [[La Résistance|Resistance]] [[Redshirt Army|Army]] led by Henry Freeman is described as successfully hitting Combine troops "sometimes". That would make sense, seeing as how they were more of a mob that suddenly acquired <s>armaments</s> wepons.

* [[In Name Only]]: The only character from the actual ''Half Life'' games it features is [[Heroic Mime|Gordon Freeman]], and its connection to the games' canon seems generally pretty specious (the Combines and zombie goasts of the fics seem pretty different from the ones in the games).

* [[Jumped At the Call]] - Gordon Freeman's email was all it took for John Freeman to abandon his workplace to go fight bosses.

* [[Kid Hero]] - Henry Freeman (implied)

** And it gave them hop!

* [[Lamarck Was Right]] - John Freeman and Henry Freeman either have a knack for acrobatics and combatting unconventional enemies or got their skills the same way Gordon Freeman got them.

* [[Large Ham]] - John Freeman has no qualm with announcing his intentions to kill an evil boss at the top of lungs. Also when he addresses the zombie goasts in ''What Has Tobe Done:''

* [[Last Stand]] - In ''Free Man'', {{spoiler|John Freeman}} realizes that stopping the tower's activation is impossible, so he sends the humens off and stays to keep the Combines at bay as the humens escape.

* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]] - Averted. ''Hero Beggining'' was not titled as part of the ''Full Life Consequences'' saga to hide {{spoiler|John Freeman's surprise appearance at the end and his subsequent role in the final chapter, which restored the label.}}

* [[Plot Hole]] - John Freeman is able to shoot the Headcrab Officer in the head, despite not having we'''a'''pon.

* [[Police Are Useless]] - The only authority figure to ever appear in the entire saga is a lone police officer. Who is headcrab zombie.

* [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]] - Gordon Freeman said "its time to end this '''''ones and for all!'''''"

** "I have to kill fast, and ''bullets too slow."''

* [[Science Is Bad]] - The Combines came from "science and <s>outer</s> outter space" to enslave humens.

** Combine "science" in {{spoiler|Gordon Freeman}} turns him evil.

* [[Self-Destruct Mechanism]] - The button the Dark Man pushes that makes the tower start glowing and eventually <s>explode</s> explod.

* [[Stealth Parody]] - Some signs point to the series being one, such as squirrelking's writing actually becoming ''worse'' in the span of three years (See the Flanderisation entry above) and the usuage of [[Memetic Mutation|"Do a barrel roll!"]] in one of squirrelking's other fanfic, ''Halo: Halos in Space''.

** [http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3196540 This] [[Something Awful]] thread confirms that it is.

* [[Supporting Leader]] - Henry Freeman.

* [[Teleporters and Transporters]] - {{spoiler|"Gordon Freeman teleportaled to John Freeman and hit him with crow bar."}}

* [[Time Skip]] - ''Hero Beggining'' starts an unspecified amount of time after ''What Has Tobe Done'', and some events in between, such as {{spoiler|John Freeman's marriage, the age of Henry Freeman and how John Freeman escaped zombie goast Gordon Freeman}} have not been clarified by the series' conclusion.

* [[Title Drop]] - "its time for me to live up to my family name and face '''full life consequences'''"

* [[Troll Fic]] - The saga was suspected by some to be this, as squirrelking's spelling got ''worse'' with each story. {{spoiler|It was later confirmed to be as such as noted above.}}

** 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.

* [[You Will Be Assimilated]] - "You will be one of us!" yelled the dead zombie goasts.

** Also, in Free Man, {{spoiler|Combine Gordon Freeman plans to make John Freeman and Henry Freeman headcrab zombies.}}

 

=== The machinimas provide examples of: ===

* [[Big Damn Heroes]] - {{spoiler|John Freeman}} in Hero Beggining.

* [[Big No]] - Averted, Gordon's "NOO!" is quite small, especially in the dramatic reading.

** 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.

* [[Catch Phrase]] - "It's time for me to live up to my family name!"

* [[Charles Atlas Superpower]] - John Freeman lifts a train of its tracks and throws it into a ravine with his bare hands. Not the engine, not one of the train cars, THE ENTIRE TRAIN.

* [[Flight]] - John Freeman, for little obvious reason.

* [[Foe-Tossing Charge]]

* [[Guns Akimbo]] - John Freeman in the Djy adaptation.

* [[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.]]

* [[My Friends and Zoidberg]] - {{spoiler|"Save humens, and Henry Freeman!"}}

* [[Offhand Backhand]] - Pay close attention at around 1:45 in the Gaz6321 version of Free Man; John Freeman gets off a headshot variation.

* [[Pragmatic Adaptation]] - Two ways, the Djy machinima makes the whole thing comedic, given it's narm and misspelling, good for gags. The Gaz version of Free Man manages to pull of the drama and make certain scenes work.(but it's still pretty funny!)

* [[Special Effects Failure]] - The portals in the Gaz6321 version are a dumpster and a truck.

* [[Spit Take]] - For Djy's video:

* [[Stupid Statement Dance Mix]] - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCuLpdg9aIk\]

** The Djy's version of ''Free Man'' includes a music video of it.

** 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.

* [[Wimp Fight]] - When Gordon fights the final boss in Djy's version, the Garry's Mod models just flail at each other.
