FreeTVs.exe

It was a normal day. GABEN told me about the lastest HL2 Siggraph showcase, and they wanted me to capture footage, so I launched up half-life 2, and I noticed it didn't say Half-life 2.exe, but it instead said gasmaskcitizen.exe... I ignored it, and tried to get to the showcase map, but I picked the wrong map by accident. The HL1 hud showed up as usual because we didn't finish the HL2 hud yet. It had a weird wind-like sound in the background, and it kept on changing to some weird messages I couldn't make out. I walked up to a gasmask citizen, and they charged at me with no animation. They said the most Mortifying thing ever... "DO NOT FORGET MY FREE TVs..." It was a moment later. my HL2 crashed, and then I heard that same quote again. It opened back up, but instead of the usual map, it was a blank and empty void... Gasmask citizens were spawning in as the camera was forced to spin around. After a while, it automatically closed, and it left a weird .txt file on my desktop. The file was called, "PLEASE_FREE_US.txt." I opened it, and it was just a wall of text saying, "VALVE WON'T LET US OUT."
