There once was a man named Gaben.
And he was the greatest manufacturer in all the land.

But one day a man named Garry Rivaled him.
And soon all of his happy citizens revolted, and began making fat jokes about him.
And insulting him even when he released great games at reasonable times.


So one day he went before his people and he said "I will give you half life episode three by the end of 2007.
When they asked why he responded saying "To ensure we have a good product", not a man, woman, or child batted an eye at this.


But soon 2008 arrived and the people were once again at Gabens door.
They said "When shall we see episode 3"?
He did not respond.
The people nearly destroyed half of the city of Versina the capital of Gabe Newells empire.


And the people came to Gabe Newells door another time.
They spoke to him and said "When shall we see episode 3?"



And the warden sang "Come on sombody why don't ya run? Old red's itchin' to have alittle fun"


He said to them "We are working on many things and we hope to release it by 2011 at latest.
People impatiently got to 2011, and they saw portal 2.
This quenched the desire for episode 3 in most of the community for awhile, but soon the people grew impatient.



The community once again in late 2011 came to Gabe Newells door and they spoke
"When shall we see episode 3?"

He had no response.

There was outrage, all the city began to riot. Had their leader abandoned them?

♥Arcadius♥: :o *hides half under the blanket*
♥Arcadius♥: Im scared for fat old gabe


Then as they were in the palace courtyard, they began screaming and insulting Gaben for being fat.


Gaben hearing this came out.
He held above his head a copy of episode 3.
All the community bowed.
Except two men.
Garry Newman. And an angry gamer.
They continued making terrible fat jokes, while expecting half life 3.

Seeing this anger Gaben walked forward into the crowd and beside a large altar in the middle of the courtyard.
He held episode 3 above his head and he spoke to them.

"You insult me and I gift you, nothing of yours is concerning to me I can have hundereds of generations of my kin live like kings on the money I have"

And Gabe Newell smashed the copy of episode 3 on the floor of the altar, kicking the pieces into the fire of torchbugs.

♥Arcadius♥: NOOOOO


The people screamed, and ran back to their houses the instigators were crying.
Yet the jokes continued.

♥Arcadius♥: Amsel ;-; that was a very sad story

And Gabe Newells anger grew worse.

♥Michael The Epic♥: Oh no



Several months later pretending nothing had happened they came to Gabe Newells door and they shouted
"When shall we see episode 3?"

Gabe Newell walked out and looked at every person in the audience and he said, "Soon."


Several months later, on the eleventh month of 2014 the jokes continued.
And Gabe Newell came before the crowd and said "Here you shall see 3!"
He placed a silver platter on a table that everyone could see.
Raising the lid the audience gasped in shock.


♥Arcadius♥: ....

Jokes stopped in their tracks, about valve counting to 3.
Quickly the audience even Garry Newman, and all the Angry gamers which had become most of the community.
All gathered in the courtyard once more.
And they spoke to Gabe Newell.

"We enjoy your titles please
never stop doing what you do."



Gabe Newell came out smiling.
He said to them "thankyou."
And from his back pocket he pulled out a blank disc.


On it written in permanent marker said "Episode 3".
He tossed it into the air above the audience, they all scrambled towards the disc as it was in air.

But in air the disc shattered.
But all the pieces multiplied and turned into full discs of the game.



And every citizen had their own copy.
Getting home playing it they were shocked to learn the Gman's work behind the seens.
