Wait, maybe I misunderstood. All Gabe Newell said was that the image was fake, not that the surprise isn't Episode 3? I don't really mind if they keep stalling it, but I just don't see how people came to the conclusion that it most definitely isn't Ep3.

Watch it be something goofy like a Valve multiplayer pack with Counterstrike, TF2, L4D 1/2 being released as a $40 or $50 retail package.
I'm going to go with pretending it's that, so in the event it is something good, it will shatter my expectations and I can be excited about it.

But I think Valve knows they've left many a player with gaming blue-balls, and should get to finishing a certain something...

If not Portal 2 or Episode 3, I'd like a remake of Half-Life for consoles. I know someone did Black Mesa:Source, but a good remake with the Source engine for PS3 or 360 would be nice.

It might still be episode 3, but not in the form of a HL2 episode. The reason ep. 3 have been so long underway might be because they're simply making it into HL3 with a new engine and all.

Of course not. If they hadn't said it wasn't Ep3 now, then it wouldn't really matter what was coming out, because everyone would be angry they aren't getting Ep3.

This is just getting laughable. Valve are comfortably resting on their laurels, grinning smugly to themselves, and when they do finally release the damn thing (with a minimalistic graphical upgrade, if the fans are lucky) people will happily shell out their money in a near-orgasmic frenzy and praise to the heavens the existence of an outdated expansion to an outdated game.

As long as it's NOT Counter-Strike I'm sure I'll enjoy it.
You may be disappointed. Tactical Intervention(Counterstrike 2) is in beta and E3 seems like the perfect time to announce a release date.

I wouldn't be too surprised if it was something new. I mean, they were just getting the hang of keeping everything updated and in order so they absolutely NEED something else to distract themselves. Congratulations to them for that, at least they're not pissing away time on Facebook.

It will probably be something about Portal 2. I am pretty uninsterested about Portal 2, L4D3 or Ep3, unless it is something like The Orange Box. That package was really cool, since I would have been pretty pissed of if I had to pay full price for any of those games.

Perhaps its Half life 3 who says they need to make a third episode
You obviously didn't finish episode 2... Although it has massive spoilers, go check it on youtube... I will wait.

It probably is Portal 2, they're just creating some hype. From what I remember, wasn't the cancellation/surprise press release written in GLADOSS style?

Left 4 Dead 3 would be funny just to watch fanboys' heads explode.

December 21, 2012- Half-Life Episode 3, Duke Nukem Forever, and Diablo 3 all release on the same day. The happiness in the world causes it to explode. lol

Team fortress for mac
If, after cooking up all this hype, they announced Team Fortress for mac, Gabe Newell would become the E3 buffet's main course. Granted, he would make one HELL of a main course, but still...

its not gonna be episode 3 its gonna be half life 2 episode 3.5, valve has already had episode 3 out for their team for a year and they decided to release a better one for the public.
that or a new source engine or counter strike (beta is really a test for the new game?)
could aslo be that DoTA that they are apparently working on.
if its L4D3 someone at valve is going to die
