Wait... so, what are you guys doing?
We're here to show Valve that the Half-Life community is strong, united and when bound together, will prove how badly we want need Half-Life 3. Our goal with all of this? To get Valve to finish the game we've dreamed about for all these years.
Okay, and how exactly are you going to do that?
It’s taken nearly the amount of brainpower that was in Black Mesa, but we have devised a simple, yet diabolical plan. Our mission is to enable Half-Life fans to contribute towards an advertising campaign aimed at
reaching every single employee at Valve.
No one has created a campaign like this before and we are confident it will be something Valve can’t miss. It might be
crazy. It might not be cheap. But it will work. We won’t be satisfied until we
execute every goal we’ve listed. The more money we raise, the more we can surround Valve with our message.
You know when you're browsing Google and in your search results page you see a nice little advertisement on the side? Well, we want to do that, but target all 300 employees of Valve. So that way, every time an employee googles themselves (c'mon, we know that they do) they would be presented with an AdWord. What would it say, you ask? Simple. "WE WANT HALF-LIFE 3."
- Mobile Billboard - $9,000
In addition to the Adword campaign, if we reach this goal, we will rent out a mobile billboard (those trucks with the giant billboards that drive around a city), only we'll plaster it with our propaganda and besiege Valve HQ in Bellevue, Washington until their white flag is raised. Or, at least until the end of the day when our driver's shift is over.
- Gabe Newell Look-a-Likes - $45,000

You
know what's better than one Gabe...? A bunch
of Gabe Newells besieging Valve's doorstep wearing "We Want
HL3" t-shirts. Who knows, maybe they will sneak into a strategic meeting
and release Half-Life 3 themselves.
This might sound a bit pricy, but lets be
real. That's a lot of mouths to feed and cotton to buy. And don’t forget, we’ll still be creating the Adword campaign and mobile billboard as well. For those of you that live outside the greater
Seattle are, don’t worry. We will film the mayhem in all its glory.

Most Epic Concert EVER - $150,000
Now, here's the fun one. If we raise enough money, not only will we complete every other goal we've listed, but most importantly, we'll pack a venue in Seattle with all of the Half-Life fans that can make it and throw the biggest Half-Life concert possible. With some of the biggest names in video game music, this is guaranteed to be so much fun that your headcrab will fall off.
Having a bunch of Half-Life fans together in one place would be awesome, but what's a rocking party without the likes of Gabe Newell, Chet Faliszek, Erik Wolpaw, and all the other employees of Valve? We will invite every employee of Valve to our event and, in person, make it completely clear that WE WANT HALF-LIFE 3.
What do I get in return?

Here is a sample of some of JJ's past work:
Why should I trust two interns with my money?
Because we are backed by one of the top advertising agencies in America, McKee Wallwork & Company (
www.mckeewallwork.com), and they have agreed to both help us out throughout our campaign and provide us with the resources we need to succeed - without making a single dime of profit. Because we have a passion for Half-Life. Because we want to get Valve's attention. And, because we want to make this happen.
