Half-Life 2 is Valve's 2004 first-person shooter set in City 17, where former Black Mesa scientists now work with the Resistance against the Combine. Their polite, everyday dialogue became memorable because it contrasts with the occupied city's danger, and short lines like this greeting were clipped and shared on gaming soundboards. Players reuse it outside the game as a dry welcome for arrivals, discoveries and reunions, especially in edits where the speaker sounds pleased but completely unsurprised to see the other person finally appear.
