Freeman's Mental State

Although he acted like a jerk and was paranoid (mentioned in episode 28) and an oxycodone addict, Freeman was mostly sane for the first 2 episodes and before. But after the resonance cascade, he started to become more and more mentally questionable and started doing negatively abnormal things like making jokes in a deadly situation. My theory is that he went crazy because of the situation and all the violence. Have you noticed this? I think this series is a "diary" by Ross to secretly tell us how he had a mental breakdown and became a morphine and oxycodone taker.

Please ignore the last sentence, I don't actually believe that. I know most of you will understand that it's a joke, but there's always one guy.
 
Freeman is like Patrick Bateman. He's always been a sociopathic, psychotic drug addicted egotist. He's just become more psychotic thanks to the resonance cascade.

 
Maybe it's because Gordon was an unprepared(?) civillian,compared to Shephard who is more of a trained professional soldier (although still a bit eccentric at times) and will think of the invasion as just another day.

 
I don't know where you are getting this from, guys? Whenever I play Half-Life, Freeman comes across as a perfectly well-rounded and intelligent individual, not suffering from any controlled substances dependency or addiction... Well, he may have a slight Russian accent but he is not saying much anyway, right?

Sure you aren't playing the Ivan The Space Biker version?
