How can you accidentally write "Prepare for unforeseen consequences" in Korean in a tweet? Less mucking up and more mucking around. I do enjoy watching Valve troll though, whether intentionally or accidentally they always hit the mark.

I was waiting for the next event to cause shock, panic, speculation, and hysteria among the HL3 community. I don't remember one of those this whole year, it was bound to happen.

This picture below of Gabe's so called "Unintentional" shart shows what could be the distinctive lambda symbol that Half Life fans know and love etched into Gabe's boxers.

Experts are also analysing the frequency of the three squeaks in Adobe Audition to see if there are hints about HL3 in the waveform.

Simply coincidence? or an elaborate and pointless ARG by Valve to tease the release of a game they wish everyone will shut the fuck up over. Keep clicking every time you see us mention the next Half Life game and maybe you will find out."
The BEST XD

ARG is really code for Almost Ready Gabe. So it is obvious that the game is almost done and they were signaling Gabe that the game will not come out today but on Friday because that is the next date with a G in it, Twenty eiGht.

It still begs the question of why they are updating a 9 year old game.

Not that I'm complaining mind you, I just wonder why they did.
It was an update for people who had signed up for a beta that converts the way the files are stored and adds Linux support. Nearly all of the patches since the beta came out were to fix bugs with the Linux version. Though there are things that need fixed... ironically, most of them are due to a poorly implemented update back in 2010 that served a similar purpose.

Okay lets break this down. The NPCs were speaking Korean. There are 5 letters in the word Korea. This took place in Half-Life 2. 5 minus 2 equals 3. BOOM! We have confirmation of Half-Life 3. Let's go even further. We currently have Half-Life 2, plus episode 1 and 2. Lets put all those numbers together. Two plus one plus two equals five...like the number of letters in the word Korea. Whaaaat! The evidence is getting out of control here, Valve could not be anymore obvious about the impending release of Half-Life 3

It would be fun, "Not today" in Valve time could be anyting between tomorrow and 2027.
I'm not getting my hopes up, so it will be a pleasant surprise when they release something new.

Love how they're not even trying to make excuses. How the fuck do you accidentally put the game on Korean?

Hmm, let me check that against my calculations:
- The icon of Half-Life is a Greek lambda in a circle.
- A circle is 360 degrees in total.
- Xbox 360 has 360 in the name
- The next Xbox is called Xbox One
- Half-Life 2 + Episode 1 + Episode 2 + Korea = 10, now add in Xbox One and you get 11
- Lambda is the 11th character in the Greek alphabet.
Q.E.D.

Yes, it seems you are correct - it is indeed a hint.

I'm so sick and tired of this. I'm not even interested any more in this game. Whatever they release will not live up to the hype, in my opinion.

Yes yes, go on with the blather of how their games are always pieces of art and whatnot .... but there's no way that HL3 would be worth the wait. We'll have Duke Nukem Forever syndrome again.

Seeing as how Valve can't do much anymore beyond hats, trading cards, and cross-marketing gimmicks, I'm not surprised HL3 hasn't come out yet.

I'm finding harder and harder to care about Half-Lie 3 as time goes on. Valve aren't helping things by being a bunch of massive cock teases.

Valve has been getting a free ride from gaming websites for years. Every time some dude is seen with a T-Shirt, every time some artwork picture is "leaked", the sites are all over it like tabloids over a dodgy UFO picture.


Seriously, guys, let it go. It's starting to look weird.
