Unfortunately, there was a time when I might’ve made fun of anyone who still believes Valve has been secretly working on Half Life 3. “Haha, look at those geeks. Everyone knows Valve can’t count to 3!” Now, I’m effectively a full-blown Hollow Knight Silksong conspiracy theorist trying to find a droplet of fresh water in a desert. Recently, however, YouTuber Gabe Follower posted a video attempting to prove that Half Life 3 is real. And, apparently, it’s at the end of its development cycle.

Fortunately, I know how the internet works. And, a wonderful Redditor (Stannis_Loyalist) compiled all the pertinent Half Life 3 information from the above video. You know, in case you don’t feel like watching the whole thing.

“Grain of salt,” “just rumors,” yadda-yadda-yadda. But, hey, perhaps it’s not the pipe dream everyone jokes about!
