'Half-Life 3' Fans Are So Convinced It's Getting Revealed Soon, They're Tracking Gabe Newell's Yacht

People are now so desperate for updates about 'Half-Life 3' that they are tracking Gabe Newell's supposed yacht.

www.vice.com

The Half-Life 3 community is so desperate for news about the long-rumored game that they have now resorted to tracking what appears to be Gabe Newell's yacht. However, fans have now gone full tin-foil hat conspiracy and believe that the Valve CEO's ship might have hinted at HL3 being revealed at Summer Game Fest.

If you read the headline and did a double-take, you are not alone. But it's true, the Half-Life 3 community has recently resorted to tracking what they think is Gabe Newell's yacht. Why are they doing this, you may be asking? Well, apparently, if the Valve CEO is visiting California this week, then he must be attending Summer Game Fest. And of course, this must also mean there is a chance that Half-Life 3 is being revealed soon. Yeah, it's as wild as it sounds.

Live look at those people.

[Ribi]

Stop with the filler, where's the fucking yacht

 

[killatopak]

is it his third yacht?

 

[SamuraiEdge]

The day Half Life 3 gets announced is the day when I know I've truly entered the best timeline of all things.

 

[Hudo]

Why would Valve announce this at SGF?

 

[Connificent]

Crazy

Lets just hope it doesn't come bundled with a nostalgia-fueled battle pass

Because nothing says 'welcome back' like monetizing your sense of hype

 

[Stafford]

Why are people doing this to themselves. Have there been any real rumblings at all?

 

[Shubh_C63]

crazy behavior.
So...where is his yacht now ?

 

[Gamezone]

is it his third yacht?

Gaben is the Third Reich.

 

[No BBC=Anger]

Imagine if these obsessives tracked the boat and somehow got on board. Would bearded CEO man be packing heat with a harpoon gun? Is yacht doctrine a thing?

 

[drganon]

 

[Paasei]

How can you be a fan of a game that doesn't exist / isn't out?

 

[Hudo]

If I were in charge of Valve, I would announce the game by just shadow dropping the store page for it on Steam. I wouldn't even tweet about it. And let the internet do the marketing for me.

 

[daninthemix]

He only has one yacht? What a poor.

 

[Toots]

Im sad gaben travels on a yacht.
He always seemed like a resonable fellow.

 

[Mattyp]

He only has one yacht? What a poor.

No he has 5 or 6 or something so this tracking of 1 seems pointless.

 

[Badlucktroll]

 

[TheAtomicPile]

 

[TintoConCasera]

The 197 debacle sure did a number on some fella's heads.


Myself included.

[darrylgorn]

Someone finally found a good use for AI.

 

[Ristifer]

Good thing it has that AI mark, or I'd really think Gabe did this on purpose.

So... never?

We're in the cursed timeline.

 

[Dorago]

Live look at those people.

Did you hack my phone?!

 

[Thief1987]

Can't decide what is worse stalking some yacht in the ocean or still care about halflife

 

[GamesDontSuck]

Why would Valve announce this at SGF?

That's the thing. Why would they?
Microsoft have their conference coming up. Why announce a game to get over shadowed by other announcements? (Even as we all know half life 3 would be big - but why do it then?)

at best... with a big maybe. They could announce it formally. Sure even say official reveal in 3 weeks. Maybe. Even then.

The voice actor for the G-Man made a tweet and that started all this shit.

 

[Stafford]

The voice actor for the G-Man made a tweet and that started all this shit.

Ah yes, I recall this. What did he say exactly?

 

[SamuraiEdge]

Ah yes, I recall this. What did he say exactly?

HE SAID ABOUT TIME AND MUSIC.

TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT!

 

[hemo memo]

So... never?

We're in the cruise timeline.

Ftfy

Ah yes, I recall this. What did he say exactly?

Hmm, I see, interesting. Well, then if there's anything to that it probably would be tonight during SGF.

Then again, I recall years ago "teases" about a new Banjo-Kazooie game and well.....still nothing.

True. I'd like to think the voice actor saying this means...something but so have so many other people working At Valve have said things over the years and I just chalked this up that it was just another tease meaning nothing: after 20 years there's no game they can release that could match this level anticipation, the best we can hope for it's an 8/10 game that closes the series and if it ever releases that's all I want: just don't do another Shenmue and tease me at the end please.

[SamuraiEdge]

It's too late for me, I am already hyped and hooked on good ol' hopium. All aboard.

Choo Choo!

 

[Draugoth]

Half Life will have it´s own event like GTA 6

 

[rofif]

that's creepy

 

[Pejo]

If this is like the boat saga with Guts, we've got some waiting to do.

 

[tylrdiablos]

It's time for my fave gif!

 

[Moses85]

 

[FMX]

It's not that serious. It's really not.

 

[Buggy Loop]

 

[Draugoth]

It's deadlock, take it or leave it

 

[CrimsonTide]

Harambe the gorilla being killed in 2016 changed the whole timeline

Half Life 3 never gets made now
Bully 2 was cancelled
GTA 6 was pushed to 2026 for GTA Online

We are on the wrong timeline with no path back
