    The year is 2020. E3 has begun, and the room goes dark. This theme music begins to play, with brief flashes of past Half-Life games appearing and then fading on the monitor throughout the song. As the song ends, the Half-life 3 emblem appears on the monitor, and then fades slowly.

    I'd imagine Gaben with his comrades just making the E3 rooms pitch black, 5 seconds later this song plays, with the first beat revealing the Lambda symbol with a 3 beside it.
    The GMan would walk beside the Lambda and the 3 and begins saying:
    "Well, Doctor Freeman, it's about that time I encounter you from your absence. But I can still offer you a job you would love to venture in it. Would you accept it, Doctor Freeman?"
    With our first time hearing Gordon Freeman saying: "Well, Mister GMan, I guess it really *IS* the time I get back from my absence!"
    And then Newell reveals the new Source engine, and the aftermath of Hλlf-Life 2: Episode 2. Which is "Hλlf-Life 3."

He sees the canyon, and must be careful. This was amazing...fitting for Valve to make one of the most memorable scenes in a computer game (at least for me anyway) the theme song of their company.
