The release of that script was really personal for me having grown up on Half Life and following many of the theories about the nature of g-man and the crossover between portal and Half Life with the Borealis ship being the primary setting of the script. It was released after Marc Laidlaw (writer of Half Life 1 and 2) had resigned due to the constant postponing of Half Life 3 and the erosion of Valve's original values as a company. It was really sad, but also provided some a much needed conclusion. I could finally say "it's over, half life 3 isn't coming". And even if it does eventually get released it won't be made under the vision of its original spectacular writer.
