When Half-Life Meets Tenacious D

By Luke Plunkett on April 30, 2009 at 8:30 PM

“G-Man’s Last Breath” is a song by Jonathan Lewis, who it appears is as big a fan of the Half-Life universe as he is overblown rock epics.

The resulting track is a tale of intrigue, drama and rock, as Lewis explores the mysteries of fatherhood, “Uncle Breen” and the ultimate nature of the relationship between Half-Life’s bearded hero and resident creepy businessman.

Go into it expecting Half-Life comedy and not a rock song and it’s great stuff. You can listen below.

I love this song so much, I even made a video of it.
It’s not that interesting, just the song with the picture in the post, but it has lyrics!

That is my brother's real name. He also plays Half Life and guitar so at first glance this really freaked me out.

@-MasterDex-: I was going to say the same thing as well. I love how the wackiness of some the singing makes it sound like Serj.

It's like a mix between Tenacious D with a twist of Serj Tankien. I like it.

Guess I should've read the disclaimer. Never finished HL2 and had no idea how it ended.

Very true, I couldn't take it very seriously but it was really awesome.
