    Interesting, as I love both games and have seen how other "game" movies have gone, not sure how I feel. Curious how (or if) this ever plays out. Thanks for sharing.

    If you read on it sounds like lots of studios have come to Gabe about movies and he's pushed them out the door because the stories/plots were just "dumb". So hopefully these movies have merit and will be fun. Although not sure how you do a Half-Life movie if you involve Gordon Freeman as a mute.

    Especially Portal. Nothing against HL, I like it as well, it's just that I like Portal more and GLaDOS rulllzzzzz :D

    I have the exact same feeling, it would be mediocre at best.

    One can only hope, I hope you are right and Gabe saw something worthy.

    With the amount of lines he had, he might as well had been a mute...

    Not to necro but I think the fate depends on how the upcoming Warcraft makes it, the first movie based off a game, If it captures then WoTLK would come, also the AC franchise was rumored and the HL, Portal are gonna skyrocket If they made it to the silver screen, so many ifs...waiting though.

    Makes sense to make them both at once. Same engine and all that synergy... ;)

    Status: Post-production

    I don't think FSX flight logs count as Half-Life fanfic...

    You're talking to an old man with a feeble mind... few years back? Meh, I forgot what I had for breakfast this morning... oh wait, I'm eating breakfast just now.

    Makes sense, I guess.
    Certainly explains why you still haven't given me back $5000 I lent you last year.
