* StupidStatementDanceMix: Bad Guy From The Game's speech in Djy's adaptation [[http://youtu.be/kWD04IG-IGg was mixed with]] Galaxy Man's stage theme from ''VideoGame/MegaMan9''.

* NoNameGiven: The "bad guy from the game," although it's unclear who it is.

* AbsenteeActor: Bad Guy From the Game and John Freeman both make no appearances in ''Quarter-Life: Origin of Doom'', despite the former being the sole antagonist of ''Quarter-Life: Halfway To Destruction'' and the latter being the protagonist of ''FanFic/HalfLifeFullLifeConsequences''. While the story ends with Gordon sending a message to John, Bad Guy From the Game never receives any acknowledgment whatsoever.

* ImprovisedWeapon: {{Inverted|Trope}}. "[=GHordon=] wents to get his crowbarb ut it was missing so hhad to borrow a claymore sword." [[DontExplainTheJoke Since, y'know, crowbars are improvised weaponry and swords aren't.]]

* LudicrousGibs: What remains of Jimm after the meltdown. In the Djy video, all that's left is extremely bloody gibs in par with ''[=TF2=]''.

* AdaptationalIntelligence: In canon, Gordon has no knowledge on nuclear physics or creating portals. In ''Quarter-Life: Halfway To Destruction'', he manages to create a new radoactive isatope that has a quarter-life instead of a half-life, and later creates a portal to push the henemy headquarters into.

* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle: The final lines are "Not so fast, Mr. Gordon".

** Djy's adaptation casts [[ChurchMilitant Father Grigori]] as "the bad guy from the game". He decidedly wasn't the lightest character in the game, but definitely didn't try to make rooms slowly become vaporize, or blow people to smitheroons.

-->'''Bad Guy from the Game''': If you do not agree with my demans, '''''TOO LATE'''''

* JawDrop: Gordon does one when Bad Guy From the Game challenges him at the end of falconer02's adaptation.

* VisualPun: In [=PKMNEmerald=]'s adaptation of ''Quarter-Life: Origin of Doom'', Gordon's '[[CrowbarCombatant crowarb]]' is a crowbar that has a crow attached to it.

* MinimalistCast: Aside from Gordon, the only character featured in the story are Jimm and Bad Guy From the Game. By Chapter 3, Jimm has died and Bad Guy From the Game is missing in action, leaving only Gordon and the unknown figure that said "Not so fast, Mr. Gordon" as the cast.

* AllAccordingToPlan: Final Boss declares that "everything goed just as i planed" when revealing that he destroyed Gordon's house to lure out Gordon so Next Boss can kill him.

The plot revolves around Gordon Freechmen studying in his was studying labratoried and discovering an extremely 'vollatile isatope' [[ArtisticLicenseNuclearPhysics that has a quarter-life instead of a half-life]]. Bad Guy From The Game steals it, and Freeman must enlist the help of his fellow scientist cow-orker Jim in order to stop him and prevent the meltdown from destroying [[UsefulNotes/DFWMetroplex Dallas]].

* CanonForeigner: Instead of using one of Gordon Freeman's partners from the games, such as Dr. Kleiner, Dr. Vance, Alyx, or Barney, the story introduces us to "fellow scientist cow-orker Jim" who becomes Gordon's sidekick for most of the story.

* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Jim gets his head cut with a claymore sword.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Bad Guy From the Game only appears in one scene, but he's the one who hits quarterlife with the isotope, which kills Jim and nearly destroys Dallas.

* AllUpToYou: Subverted. In ''Quarter-Life: Origin of Doom'', Gordon tells himself "fate of humens rests on my sholders!" while he's driving to Final Boss. However, Gordon is DoomedByCanon and his brother John Freeman takes over the role as Saver of Humens after Gorden dies at the end of the first part of ''FanFic/HalfLifeFullLifeConsequences''.

* AdaptationalBadass: In canon, Gordon can't push heavy objects, but in Quarter-Life: Halfway To Destruction, he was able to push an entire henemy headquarters into a portal.

* ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike: Subverted when Gordon kills the headcrab on Jimm, as he chews Gordon out for accidentally cutting him, only to say "Just kidding."

* DeusExMachina: Gordon's ability to use portals to push henemy headquarters into portals to transport the it to a safe place.

* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: ''Quarter-Life: Origin of Doom'' ends with Gordon sending an email to his brother, saying "bro, aliens and monsters are attacking my place". However, the person that's attacking him is neither an alien nor a monster, and nothing implies that Final Boss brought aliens and monsters with him. [[FanFic/HalfLifeFullLifeConsequences The original story]] implies that the dead headcrabs John Freeman encountered before reaching Gordon were the aliens and monsters Gordon referred to in the email.

* ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike: Played straight but then averted with Jimm's cut, as he chews Gordon out for accidentally cutting him, only to say "Just kidding."

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Unlike the original series, Gordon is not a HeroicMime.

* DeusExMachina: Gordon's ability to use portals to push enemy headquarters into portals to transport the it to a safe place.

* IKnowWhatWeCanDoCut: After the isotope hit quarterlife, Gordon calls someone and cuts himself off with "I know!" followed by the narration recounting his plan to relocate the enemy headquarters as he does so.

* MassTeleportation: Gordon teleports the entire enemy headquarters to the Atlantic Ocean.

* SuperStrength: Gordon is so strong that he's capable of pushing the enemy headquarters into the portal he created.

* AdaptationalContextChange:
** The original story had the narrator shout 'OH NO WHERE DID HEADCRAB COME FROM!' when a headcrab jumps on Jimm's head. falconer02's adaptation has Jimm shout out the line, while Djy's adaptation has Gordon say the line.
** At the end of chapter three, an unknown figure says "Not so fast, Mr. Gordon" after Gordon "scucceeded at winning the mission". falconer02's adaptation has Bad Guy From the Game threaten Gordon by saying the line, ''Quarter-Life: Origin of Doom'' has Guy in Suite (implied to be Gman) say the line to tell him that he still has a job to do, and ''Quarter-Life: Halfway to Destruction 2'' has [[Franchise/TombRaider Lara Croft]] say the line to ask him if he still has the isotsaop.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Djy's adaptation casts [[ChurchMilitant Father Grigori]] as "the bad guy from the game". He decidedly wasn't the lightest character in the game, but definitely didn't try to make rooms slowly become vaporize, or blow people to smitheroons.

* BolivianArmyEnding: falconer02's adaptation ends with Bad Guy From the Game saying "Not so fast Mr. Gordon." when Gordon celebrates after he "scucceeded at winning the mission".

* TheCameo: Djy's adaptation features Barney, Dog, G-Man, and [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Heavy Weapons Guy]] as background characters.

* FishEyes: Gordon in Djy's adaptation is almost always seen with wall eyes. The moments where he doesn't have them can be counted on one hand.

* JawDrop: Gordon does one when Bad Guy From the Game challenges him at the end of falconer02's adaptation.

* PuppyDogEyes: Djy's adaptation has Peter Chimaera attempt this to get the viewer to buy his book.

* RunningGag:
** In Djy's adaptation, the spelling of Freechmen/Freemant/Freeman.
** It also continues the RunningGag from Djy's ''FanFic/HalfLifeFullLifeConsequences'' machinima of taking official art from ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' and slapping other characters heads onto the characters. Except this time it's Gordon Freeman with ''[[ShapedLikeItself Gordon Freeman]]'''s head.

* StupidStatementDanceMix: Bad Guy From The Game's speech [[http://youtu.be/kWD04IG-IGg was mixed with]] Galaxy Man's stage theme from ''VideoGame/MegaMan 9''.

* YouAreAlreadyDead: Djy's adaptation plays out the scene that stated "[[HopeSpot Jimm was okay]] but his head was cut" after Gordon killed the headcrab by having Jimm give a thumbs up and smile, only to have his head covered in blood from the wound three seconds later.

* ButtMonkey: Everything happens to Jimm. He gets headcrabbed, cut by claymore sword, blowed to smitheroons...
* TheCameo: Djy's adaptation features Barney, Dog, and [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Heavy Weapons Guy]] as background characters.

* LudicrousGibs: What remains of Jimm after the meltdown. In the djy video, all that's left is extremely bloody gibs in par with ''[=TF2=]''.

* ProductPlacement: "Tahnks for reading please buy [[FanFic/PeterChimaeraBookOfHsitoricalFaFfiction my book]] at peterchimaera .com i am poor :("

Not to be confused with ''Fanfic/HalfLifeFullLifeConsequences'', which is a similarly bad but longer fic, and is sometimes included in the same verse.

* AdaptationalVillainy: The machinima casts [[ChurchMilitant Father Grigori]] as "the bad guy from the game". He decidedly wasn't the lightest character in the game, but definitely didn't try to make rooms slowly become vaporize, or blow people to smitheroons.

** "[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5235619 Quarter-Life: Origin of Doom]]": continues the story and ties it into ''Fanfic/HalfLifeFullLifeConsequences''. Notable in that it explains a number of random occurrences in the first ''Full Life Consequences'', explaining the origin of the headcrab officer, the wepon John Freeman finds in Ravenholdm, who wrote "u sudnt come here" on the sign, the origins of the zombie goasts, and even goes so far as to explain ''where the Combine hug tower at the end of the saga comes from.'' This one is [[http://youtu.be/8G04fz2JxsM now in machinima form]] by [=PKMNEmerald=].

* IKnowWhatWeCanDoCut: In the machinima, Gordon calls someone and cuts himself off with "I know!" followed by the narration recounting his plan to relocate the enemy headquarters as he does so.
* ImmediateSelfContradiction: Chapter 2's title, "THEY REVOCER TEH ISOTROPE BUT THEY DON'T".

** In the machinima, the spelling of Freechmen/Freemant/Freeman.
** It also continues the RunningGag from the ''Fanfic/HalfLifeFullLifeConsequences'' machinima of taking official art from ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' and slapping other characters heads onto the characters. Except this time it's Gordon Freeman with ''[[ShapedLikeItself Gordon Freeman]]'''s head.

** Not to mention the ONE question that wasn't answered: "OH NO WHERE DID HEADCRAB COME FROM!" It's generally assumed that The Bad Guy From the Game used it as a distraction so he could steal the isotope, but this is not explicitly confirmed in the story.
