What"Man beganWithout asA anBody""Man innocentWithout [[FanA Fiction]]Body""Man titledWithout ''[[HalfA Life]]:Body""Man FullWithout LifeA Consequences'' (by an allegedly nine-year-old kid with the handle squirrelking) was turned into [[So Bad It's Good|something great]] as soon as a [[YTMND]]Body" user found it. In mockery, he did a dramatic reading of the story. It was a hit. Naturally, seeing that squirrelking had created other fanfics, most notably in the same storyline, other YTMND users had a crack at the dramatic reading thing. Over time, these narrations were turned into [http://vegeta897.deviantart.com/art/HL-FLC-Part-1-61174719 animations], but the most impressive series of animations came from machinima artist [http://www.youtube.com/user/djy1991 djy1991] using Garry's Mod. Thus begins the most famous telling of John Freeman's story.

The"Man firstWithout halfA ofBody""Man theWithout saga tells the story of Gordon Freeman's brother, John Freeman, [[Jumped At the Call|who rushes from his job]] to rescue Gordon Freeman in Ravenhol<s>d</s>m. The second half, entitledA Body"Hero Beggining [[You Make Me Sic|[sic]]]", takes places some time later, during which the Combine have succeeded in conquering the <s>human</s> humen race. Henry Freeman takes it upon himself to continue the legacy and lead the resistance against the Combines.

They combine dramatic readings performed by other users and music from the album ''Production Music from [[Ren and Stimpy|Ren & Stimpy]]'', creating a distinct [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]Body". The first video combined the low audio quality of the narration and the upbeat music to create an old-time radio drama feel. Subsequent videos strayed from this design for more straightforward presentation. Several line readings from it have been adapted into not one, but two surprisingly awesome and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCuLpdg9aIk well made] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Po_v4jXZaD8 Drum and Bass] tracks by a professional DJ known as Renard (under the alias "Furries in a Blender"), neither of which would sound out of place at a rave.

*"Man [[ImprobableWithout AimingA Skills]]Body""Man -Without Averted.A TheBody""Man [[LaWithout Résistance|Resistance]]A [[Redshirt Army|Army]]Body" led by Henry Freeman is described as successfully hitting Combine troops "sometimes".
