Half-Life 3 Protest Breaks Out At Valve

Civil unrest has gripped the streets of Bellevue, Washington outside of Valve's headquarters…and by "civil unrest" we mean two dudes with cardboard signs and lawnchairs.

These identified men set up camp outside of Valve's offices with cardboard signs reading "Canada 4 The Release Of Half Life 3" and "Half-Life 3…Is It Left 4 Dead?" While it wasn't the most crazy protest we've seen, what it lacked in anger it made up for in lunch. It turns out that Valve head Gabe Newell actually came out to meet the gentlemen and even brought them food.

Let's hope Gabe took note of their signs, as this is one cause we definitely support.

I want Half Life 3 so bad!
by S.T.A.R.S. Officer Thursday, August 11, 2011 at 11:35 PM

It's possible these men now hold extremely important intelligent material. We must arrest and interrogate.

haha XD nice free lunch score! =)

They must be Valve employees setting up the hype for the announcement of Half Life 3. Conspiracy theorists unite. Half Life 3 announced this year. Come on Valve, please.
