There's not a lot else to say about this rather brilliant hoax. For the first time in public, the legendary Gordon Freeman has decided to speak out about his experiences in Black Mesa by calling Coast to Coast AM. As you can hear, host George Noory takes the One Free Man's concerns very seriously. Very seriously indeed.
An awesome bit of parody this, so perfectly constructed and expertly pulled off. I applaud the efforts of this classic prankster.

Hahaha! I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS!!
"Yeah, yeah, creepy man stalking you, tell me more about your work..."
Still it´s a nice prank.
That would ROCK.
Title changed.
Moral of the story is that skepticism can be a good thing.
Oh and talk about cake
Good show, whoever made that call. I can actually recall certain parts in the game he was describing, though he of course made the situation seem a little bit more sane than it actually was in-game. =p
methinks GLaDOS would be a fine call-in guest. I'm surprised no one has put together a podcast "interviewing" videogame characters who call in...could be interesting if done non-imbecilicly
Poor Guy.
Kinda like the sequence in MGS2 when the colonel starts telling you it's time to turn off the game...
Damn that was awesome.
