One day a timer will appear on the Steam front page.
No one knows it's purpose and Valve will remain silent as usual.
For days people speculate that the announcement of Half Life 3 is imminent.
When the timer reaches the last few seconds, it freezes on the number 3. For a moment nothing happens and the world watches in anticipation.
Suddenly Gabe Newell's face appears on the screen.
"Valve is proud to announce a long anticipated game from a series that the fans have been excited to return to for many years."
He pauses for a moment and smiles, "It was worth the weight."
Suddenly, all diseases are cured, world hunger is solved, and all wars instantly come to an end.
"I am pleased to announce Ricochet 2."
