It is difficult to overestimate the contribution of this character to gaming culture, and his story is one of the most interesting in the game. Despite all his mystery, there is a huge amount of interesting information, some of which lies in plain sight, and some is hidden under layers of textures. I hope you enjoy the video, don't forget to write your thoughts in the comments and also like it) My Telegram, where I post jokes, insights and news: t.me/GoToLate Materials used in the video: • [SFM] Don't drink the water Support the channel: https://www.donationalerts.com/r/goto... ---------- Excerpt from the script (for tags): ---------- Jimen is the most mysterious character in the history of video games. But there is much more information about him than it seems. Here I suggest remembering his entire history, the most popular theories, and also delving into little-known details. Completely all the information about the calling card of the half-life universe in a blue suit. Physically, Jimen appears before the player in the same guise - a tall, elderly man of Caucasian race, with a thin build, pale skin and green eyes. Dressed in a gray-blue suit and almost always carries a suitcase with him. His speech pattern has many peculiarities. He speaks slowly, authoritatively, mysteriously. Often emphasizes the wrong syllables, strange pauses in sentences, and changes the pitch of his voice strangely. It feels like our language is alien to him. He also tends to lengthen consonants, especially S, which is similar to the speech pattern of Vortigaunts (example). HALF-LIFE 1 Jimen usually appears in places inaccessible to the player, flickering in the background. Jimen first appears on the tram next to Freeman. They are going in different directions, but somehow Jimen appears further into the complex before Gordon. The dialogue between Jimen and the Scientist takes place behind glass, which is why only muttering is audible. The original sound files are also not entirely clear, but the community has tried to decipher what they were talking about (Transcript). In the second episode, you can only hear the supposed topic of conversation. (Phrase) ADD After the resonance cascade, Jimen begins to closely monitor Freeman, and after the destruction of the Nihilanth, begins a dialogue with him, teleporting him to different places along the way. In the end, they return to the same Black Mesa tram, and Jimen offers a job. In case of refusal, Freeman returns to Xen without a weapon, surrounded by enemies of Xen. But the canonical choice is considered to be consent, which leads to the beginning of Half-life 2. In the game files, there is an extended line for refusal. (phrase) He says that the world of Xen has come under the control of his mysterious employers. In the background at this moment, the broken forces of Heku appear, which may hint that they fought for Xen for them. The community was sure that this was a skybox error, since the game engine can only support one background picture per map. However, to this day, even in the most modern version, this has not been fixed. Nihilanth is somehow connected with Jimen, as he is referred to in some lines. (he is not a man, he is waiting for you) The name Jimen, from American slang, is decoded as Government Man - or a man from the government. This is how he still signs in the game files and in the developer diaries. Everything comes from the old concept, when at the time of the release of the first part of Half-Life, Jimen was supposed to be a secret government agent, according to another version - a mysterious administrator of Black Mesa. It is assumed that it is to him that the scientists refer in the dialogue before the cascade resonance. (Phrase) (ADD) Later, the role of the administrator was given to Brin.
