What began as an innocent [[Fan Fiction]] titled ''[[Half Life]]: Full Life 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]] 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 first half of the 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, entitled "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.

These videos make up the most popular adaptation of the ''Full Life Consequences'' saga, each having been featured on numerous gaming websites. 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]]. 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.

''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''.

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.

"Man Without A Body"

"Man Without A Body""|John Freeman}}

"Man Without A Body""Man Without A Body""Man Without A Body""Man Without A 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 animations, but the most impressive series of animations came from machinima artist djy1991 using Garry's Mod. Thus begins the most famous telling of John Freeman's story.

"Man Without A Body""Man Without A Body"]", takes places some time later, during which the Combine have succeeded in conquering the human humen race. Henry Freeman takes it upon himself to continue the legacy and lead the resistance against the Combines.

Original writing:

Video by Djy1991 and Icton Entertainment:

"Man Without A Body""Man Without A 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 well made 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 Without A Body""Man Without A Body""Man Without A Body""Man Without A Body""Man Without A Body""Man Without A Body""Man Without A Body""Man Without A Body"'s evil plot is to destroy Dallas.

It eventually turned out to be written by Mattimer, one of the greatest trolls of our time.


The original writings provide examples of:

"Man Without A Body""Man Without A Body". "Man Without A Body" - The death of Gordon Freeman. "Man Without A Body" - 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.
      • 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.

"Man Without A Body""Man Without A Body"' and shot a rocket at him since that was his weakness." "Man Without A Body" are perhaps one of the most common weaknesses among... things made of matter. "Man Without A Body": Motorcycles and doing backflips. "Man Without A Body" - Doing "what has to be done" is a common theme of squirrelking's protagonists. "Man Without A Body""Man Without A Body" "Man Without A Body" - Gordon Freeman. "Man Without A Body" - John Freeman "Man Without A Body" - The Freemans. "Man Without A Body" "Man Without A Body""Man Without A Body"}} "Man Without A Body" - "Then a big rocket came down and blew a guys arm off and legs and head and killed other people too." "Man Without A Body" - John Freeman discovers how to beat the next boss by.. looking it up on an internet FAQ. "Man Without A Body" - Inverted. The Dark Man knows EXACTLY who John Freeman's wife is and what happened to her, despite her not having a name and him technically being on some sort of genocide mission. "Man Without A Body" - Henry Freeman's "hero beggining" commences after the Combines murder his mom. "Man Without A Body" "Man Without A Body" - Gordon Freeman returns as headcrab zombie goast in What Has Tobe Done, and as a Combine in Free Man. "Man Without A Body" - The second arc involves the future of the human humen race, unlike the first arc that mainly revolved on revenge. The main threat of the first two chapters were the bosses and the zombie goasts, which are nowhere to be seen in the second half of the saga spearheaded by the takeover of the Combines. "Man Without A Body""Man Without A Body"}} "Man Without A Body"

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • Henry Freeman realy hated Combines because they beat up every one and Henry Freeman hated it.
    • 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.

"Man Without A Body" "Man Without A Body""Man Without A Body".}}

    • ...One rocket hit John Freeman but he got up... Yes, very determined.

"Man Without A Body""Man Without A Body" alone.}} "Man Without A Body" - After killing the final boss, the "next boss" appears out of nowhere and step on Gordon Freeman. "Man Without A Body" - Gordon Freeman kills the final boss by punching it in the face. No really.

    • After being shot by bullets in the eye from teh gun by John Freeman, mind you.

"Man Without A Body" - "Combines were robot things that werent robots..." "Man Without A Body""Man Without A Body""Man Without A Body" At the end of What Has Tobe Done, he is reanimated as a zombie goast. The Hero Beggining arc reverses this. "Man Without A Body" - In his final moments, Gordon Freeman is free of both the Combine "science" in him and the headcrab. "Man Without A Body" - The author says he started speaking English a short time ago in his profile. This shows a lot. "Man Without A Body": 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. "Man Without A Body" - Subverted. "The laughed overed quickly" when John and Gordon were attacked by the next boss. "Man Without A Body""Man Without A Body": John Freeman's wife, Henry Freeman's mother. "Man Without A Body": Lots of backflips happen throughout the fic. "Man Without A Body" - Played with in that Henry Freeman's mother delivers her last message to her son after her head was shot off.
