Half-Life Fallout: Valve to Attend Gamescom - Half-Life Fallout

Found this somewhere, it made me giggle


*152 years from now*
so grandson thats how half life episode 2 ended...
oh gee wiz grandpa can i hear more of the story?

sorry kiddo but valve never released the third episode, they waited so long,
not to mention after gabe's heart attack and died valve decided to go into
new things, steam bought gamestop after it went bankrupt in the 2027 stock
market crash, valve change its name to Sarif industries and started making
artificial limbs for humans with amputated body parts...after artificial
limbs were banned in 2070 sarif industries changes its name to The Manswell
expedition thanks to its new owner and Billionaire Victor Manswell,
frustrated with the pace of official human space exploration, begins funding
his own private spaceflight expedition.The Manswell Expedition successfully
launches from Earth en route to the Alpha Centauri system with 300 colonists
aboard in cryogenic stasis. Communications with the vessel are lost soon
after.
in 2147 Trace amounts of element zero are discovered on Mars. thanks to
Manswell expedition Humanity discovers a small cache of highly advanced
Prothean technology hidden deep beneath the surface of Mars on the south
polar region of Promethei Planum. Building on the remnants of this long
extinct race, humans quickly explore the science of mass effect fields,
leading to the development of faster than light travel and beginning
detailed exploration of the Sol system. 2149 Following information from the
translated data cache on Mars, humans discover that Charon, Pluto's moon, is
actually a massive piece of dormant Prothean technology, a mass relay,
encased in ice. Once activated, Jon Grissom leads the first team of
explorers through the relay, which instantaneously transports them to
another relay in Arcturus, 36 light-years away. The explorers discover that
the mass relays are part of a vast network, making travel across the galaxy
possible.
The Systems Alliance charter is signed by the eighteen largest nations on
Earth. The Alliance soon becomes the military and exploratory spearhead of
humanity.
in 2150 Manswell changed its name to Cerberus to look out for the better of
humanities interest.
2151 To defend its expanding territory, humanity begins constructing a
massive military fleet and space station at Arcturus, the nexus of several
key mass relays, even though they have yet to encounter another intelligent
spacefaring race. An accident at Singapore International Spaceport exposes
hundreds of humans to dust-form element zero. Roughly 30% of the children
born in Singapore after element zero exposure suffer from cancerous
growths.In 2152 The Delta Pavonis Foundation, a major consortium based on
Earth, begins settlement of humanity's first extra-solar colony world, the
planet Demeter. Later that year, additional colonies are founded on Eden
Prime and Terra Nova.

and thats pretty much why we never got to see half life 3, Shepard.

Hi, probably best to post somewhere like here though rather than posting on a topic that hasn't had any replies since June!

Posting with the full www.hlfallout.net link probably means it's a bot, right?

EDIT: There's even a spamlink hidden in it. xD

to me the text is just underlined... no link. Unless someone removed it.

its a bot, it likely attempted to insert html code to redirect to some spam/trojan/virus site without people realising it and it failed. also, his email is suspect (cleaningserviceslasvegas).

I came back to this forum in hopes of something EP3 related. Seriously, I started here as a kid and now as a man, Valve has not completed the story they started in 2004. WTF? No one cares about L4D,DOTA, Portal and whatever other IP they have been working on. We want EP3! You can't end EP2 that way and expect us not to be pissed about the silence that has been these past, what? Four years now! Come on, this is bullshit.
