** Freeman's reaction to the Nihilanth is the worst in this regard, as it's surprisingly dark for this series. Freeman begins breathing heavily, and you can hear his heartbeat. Then he starts screaming and rolls credits.
** What's worse is Gordon's reaction is a CallBack to his encounter with the Tentacle. There he remarked that he might have totally broken down had the Tentacle been an insignificant part of a larger, now angered creature, that wants to kill him specifically. Now he's face to face with a giant Lovecraftian monster that's pissed off at him specifically and makes this abundantly clear since it psychically ''snarls his name at him.'' The Nihilanth is Gordon's greatest fear about the invasion realized and he stumbled into it ''completely by accident!''
--->'''Gordon:''' (thinking the Nihilanth Portal is a radio of some sort) Okay, let's try this centre orb here. [[TemptingFate Maybe it does something.]] Check-check, mic check, hel- (teleports) -lo? (notices the Nihilanth turning to look at him and starts breathing heavily)

* Ravenholm. Just... Ravenholm. It was terrifying in the real Half-Life game and even Gordon's entertaining remarks don't tone it down much. Between the hanging dismembered corpses, the crazy ramblings from an unseen man, the headcrabs jumping from the rafters and the electrocuted body stuck to the fence, it's easily the spookiest place Gordon's been to yet. And even Gordon gets badly skeeved out when he sets fire to three zombies, who ''scream in agony''.
