[Ebola Cereal]

Yes I can't wait to play a game that's finally coming out on a 7 year old engine!

Gabe Newell seems to have confirmed Episode 3 in a haiku response to a fan: http://i.imgur.com/9znCu.jpg.

Are you excited? Or will all the hype only lead to disappointment?

also, look at this!

straight from the Dota 2 beta files!

Portal 2 had the exact same thing - ep3 either stands for something else in that regard, or they're just seeing how much of their load people will blow all over the place with the mere hint of it.

Gabe is very bad at haikus... last line has 6 syllables, not 5.

Or it's a secret message! *Puts conspiracy hat on*

Sicne this is Valve, it would not surprise me even a little bit.

We all know that Ep3 is coming, but we only want to know when is the damned thing coming.

At this point, I think Valve just does this because they find it hilarious.

Honestly I wasn't that stoked for Ep 1 or 2, this isn't going to blow my mind either.

Woot Episode Three

Damn, this is as well

He says in the line before "they have a rigid structure" which he ironically breaks in the last line.

Half-Life 3: I'M ON A BOAT

That should totally be the subtitle.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I don't give a fuck.
Just release it already.
The whining will stop.

Holy shit, this is
fun. All my posts will be in
Haiku from now on.

A patch containing all of the updates the PC version of TF2 was confirmed to come to the console. Guess what? They said it isn't happening.

Because no one plays TF2 on consoles anymore? i've tried it believe me, and no one is ever on.

It might end up like DNF. It takes so long to make that by the time it comes out everyone has stopped caring

In Japanese which is based around completely obvious syllables of pretty much fixed length and format having a set number of syllables makes sense, but English syllables have different lengths and types and thus don't produce the same flow when written into a 17 syllable poem.

 

[Plan10FromSpace]

we've known it was coming since the end of episode 2, the question is when?
hurry the fuck up valve!

While the console version is hardly played compared to the PC version, there is also the fact that since all the updates, TF2 has DOUBLED in size. It's probably more a memory limitation more than anything.
