[Context: What caused the resonance cascade in Half-Life?] Well, speaking as one who origionally hails from the multi-dimensional border world of Xen, I feel that I can perfectly explain what caused the accident. You see, it was a very lonely day for Bob the Garg. Garg was so lonely that he called up the pizza guy just to talk. To make a long story short Bob ended up ordering a pizza and charged it to the great Nihilanth. When the Nihilanth found this out, he got so pissed that he released an incredibly large amount of psychic energy at Bob the Garg. Coincidentally Freeman put the crystal thingy into the Anti-Mass Spectrometer. This somehow created a reverse sub-polarized psychometric tachyon burst stream that opened the portal. Bob the Garg lived and had a wonderful time eating pizza.
