And everyone would wonder which games it was. Half-life? (I mean probably that one) Portal? L4D? Team Fortress? Dota? THEY HAVE SO MANY FRANCHISES ON 2
The fact that Ellen & Gabe both agreed to be a part of this song shows how respectful they are to the fans, and I love Valve & their team even more for that.
Video is 2:59 in length GLADOS is performed by a real GLADOS They even got GOD-GABEN to read a couple of lines of the song.. "Three" is actually sung three times This is just incredible.
i just realized something gabe newell could probably generate so much excitement by just going on a stage at some game convention and say "3" and just walk off stage

There is one from couple years ago. A sentient feminine android goes by the name Sophia. She officially received citizenship in Saudi Arabia. There's also a new male one named Han.
I like how the song isn't just bashing on Valve or Gabe for never making "the third game". It jokes about it, obviously, but it actually provides a lot of insight into the history behind all this and explains why. Well done Chalkeaters.
To be fair, Valve isn't selling HL on all of the goddamn platforms without a hope of a sequel. We just have no hope for a sequel(not really, Alyx gave us hope now). Gaben may be bathing in money, but he hasn't been uploading bugged as hell games constantly and asking for more money in a paid game(artifact isn't a game anymore, so yeah)
@@nurakermmeho7908 Technically Artifact is now a sort of abandonware ? It's free at least. And pretty fun ! But I'd never have payed money for it. But it's a fun concept and game ! Just monetized horribly.
No, Valve is the best company. It will not give up. It will make us Half-Life 3. It is the company that made my childhood with its games Half-Life 1 and Counter-Strike 1.6. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Valve. I am always with you. 😢❤
@@ArturFlintchannel TH-cam doesn't add any seconds to any videos. This video is 179.06 seconds long, which is more than 2 minutes and 59 seconds (but less than 3 minutes), and if you go frame-by-frame you can go to 178.92 seconds (but can't go any farther as YT is a bit glitched and you can't see the last fractions of second), which is ~2 minutes and 59 seconds anyway.
The fact that they got the big man himself makes this amazing. Not to diminish Ellen's role here, but when you get mr N to acknowledge the meme, you know it's special
Um…did they not just get an actor to PLAY as "Mr. N"? I'm pretty sure Gabe wasn't in on this video personally, that's what all the descriptions and channel-owned comments seem to indicate…
Why do you think we haven't had Half Life 3 yet? With all the suspense and hype that'd surround it, it's basically guaranteed to fall short of expectations.

@@alexboyer6691 well, my dad's voice was way shriller when he was 30 compared to now. I guess adult women are less likely to have a change in their voice since it won't go deeper unless they intentionally don't put energy into their speech. I call the profile Dekuroki, but you can call him Steve.
Let's not forget the call-back in that scene to Chalkeaters' earlier music video, seeing the whirlpool of pink puppies shining through the window onto Gabe's glasses. There are so many awesome details in this video.
God can save you, find your fa...just kidding, and tbh, that's something they probably would do. I would love seeing how many people just riot in the streets because of it
Ideally on April 1st too. So everyone thinks it's a joke. And then when someone buys it and plays it and realises it's actually the real deal, they go to tell everyone and no one believes them because it's April 1st.
Interesting observation: this video is about to reach 33 million views, and it is currently at 33K comments, AND it is 3 years old. Then, we have a heavy load of HLX leaks over the last few months... and The Game Awards is soon... So what this tells us... is that Gaben will come out on stage in a few days and finally announce Half-Life 3, coming March 3, 2033.
This is the hero's "I want" song, explaining their situation and desire for improvement. Constrast with Todd Howard's villainous 'I Am' song which merely describes his joy with the status quo which the hero must work to overthrow
"Sir you are in coma for 10 years..." "Wow that's really long time, can't wait to play Half Life 3, Left 4 Dead 3, Team Fortress 3, DOTA 3, and Portal 3..bet they are swarmed with a lot of sequels now" "About that sir..."
if valve ever does a trailer for half life 3, I feel like they could get away with having a 10 second video of the lambda symbol next to a 3 and it'd hit #1 on trending within a couple hours.
God, Gabe still respect his community so much that he felt he had to record the starting and ending cameos. He seems like a nice person to have around.
@@ninjadeveloper2442 depends on where you are looking. When watching the video it says 2 minutes and 59 seconds, but when you are looking at it in your history or recommended or your up next it says 3 minutes.
I only just realized that the "Guess what's coming after" right before the GLaDOS part is in the tune of the first part of Want You gone... this is amazing! Even Valve themselves joined in on the joke

Wow, that's actually a beautifully hopeful lyric. 👍👍
I like how the song isn't just bashing on Valve or Gabe for never making "the third game". It jokes about it, obviously, but it actually provides a lot of insight into the history behind all this and explains why. Well done Chalkeaters.

This one is a lot friendlier then “It Just Works” you can tell they actually like Valve’s games despite poking fun at the lack of a certain number.

To be fair, Valve isn't selling HL on all of the goddamn platforms without a hope of a sequel. We just have no hope for a sequel(not really, Alyx gave us hope now). Gaben may be bathing in money, but he hasn't been uploading bugged as hell games constantly and asking for more money in a paid game(artifact isn't a game anymore, so yeah)
@@nurakermmeho7908 Technically Artifact is now a sort of abandonware ? It's free at least. And pretty fun ! But I'd never have payed money for it. But it's a fun concept and game ! Just monetized horribly.

No, Valve is the best company. It will not give up. It will make us Half-Life 3. It is the company that made my childhood with its games Half-Life 1 and Counter-Strike 1.6. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Valve. I am always with you. 😢❤

Interesting observation: this video is about to reach 33 million views, and it is currently at 33K comments, AND it is 3 years old.
Then, we have a heavy load of HLX leaks over the last few months... and The Game Awards is soon...
So what this tells us... is that Gaben will come out on stage in a few days and finally announce Half-Life 3, coming March 3, 2033.
This is the hero's "I want" song, explaining their situation and desire for improvement. Constrast with Todd Howard's villainous 'I Am' song which merely describes his joy with the status quo which the hero must work to overthrow
