There is no noob who can escape the terrible pwnage of my godlike skills. Shadow is 1337. E-1337.

"We remember the Freeman. We are coterminous. There is no distance between us. No false veils of time or space may intervene. We see you still in Black Mesa. Clearly we see you in the Nihilanth's chamber. We bear witness to the bright eternity of the Nihilanth's demise. You leap, you fall, we see you flash beyond the barriers. We are there still, in observance of your final stroke. While our own lay scattered at your feet, you severed the vortal cord that bound the Nihilanth to life, and to us. That sharp spur of hope has not dulled to this day. For once the lesser master lay defeated, we knew the greater must also fall in time. For a brief time you joined with us. You are one. Between the worlds. Communion of the Vortessence. And that other: a deeper mystery. No deeper than the void itself. We cannot forget those whose cords you cut. Forgiveness is not ours to bestow. Unity of purpose, the shattering of common shackles, a single road we tread. Your song we sing and shall sing for eternity. No matter the consequences of this struggle. You have brought us grief and jubilation beyond measure. With you beside us, a talisman of victory, the day of freedom draws nigh. Your bright face obscures your darker mask. We call you sib, although your mind and meaning are a mystery to us. Far distant eyes look out through yours. Something secret steers us both. We shall not name it. We have endured these chafing bonds for eons, yet a single moment of further servitude seems intolerable! How often have we slipped our yoke, only to find it choking us again. Let this war end in either total victory or our extinction. No further compromise shall we allow. We take our stand beside you, here, upon this miserable rock. The way ahead is dark for the moment. What seems to you a sacrifice is merely, to us, an oscillation. We do not fear the interval of darkness. We are a tapestry woven of Vortessence. It is the same for you if only you would see it. How many are there in you? Whose hopes and dreams do you encompass? Could you but see the eyes inside your own, the minds in your mind, you would see how much we share. We are you, Freeman. And you are us. We have lost all dear to us. The Combine will pay in kind for their depravity. Hope is in sight. This marks a turning point. Such pessimism will doom us all. We have survived darker times. Our finest poet describes it thus: ‘Gallum galla gilla ma.’ You humans, always in the validity. We deem this company inviolable. Your companionship is greatly belabored. Freeman, we could be of use to you. We shall share the Vortessence. Our life is worthless unless spent on freedom. We never dreamed to meet you in corporeal form. Where to, now? And to what end? This is more than anyone can bear, but we will persevere. We are mindful of the words of our greatest philosopher: 'Kpnnum gninin vogenuk!' Our cause seems hopeless. It is more than any man can bear, yet we will persevere." - The All-Knowing Vortigant


"Between the idea And the reality Between the motion And the act Falls the Shadow

For Thine is the Kingdom

Between the conception And the creation Between the emotion And the response Falls the Shadow

Life is very long

Between the desire And the spasm Between the potency And the existence Between the essence And the descent Falls the Shadow

This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper" - T.S. Eliot, The Hollow Men
