I made a thread about this already.

It's got where to go in relation to DRATMANNH0NEE. Shall I just copy & paste the info here?
Your thread will get buried by other threads, this will get read and provide the reporters jobs. If us users reported everything, would there really need to be a news section?

See you suckers later!
Could you chuck me back a copy of Mafia 2 while you're at it? PLEEEEEASE.

OT: What's 'ARG'?

I'm pretty excited about this, hopefully we'll start seeing where (and when) Portal lies in the Half-Life universe.

Maybe we'll get a glimpse of the Borealis?

That's pretty awesome. I wonder if it will be released on consoles, and if so, how long it will be, etc.

If anyone knows or if you find out please let me know. If it's only PC then I will still get it but I would prefer console.

Either way, I'm still looking forward to this.

Ah really? What the fuck, valve? I'll probably be dead before I see episode three.

Well, I know that "the Rat Man" is the fan nickname for the guy who went through the test chanbers before Chell, the player character, did. He was the one who left those "the cake is a lie" messages all over the place, and the hints about where to go next. As for "honey", I've heard an interesting theory in the past that Chell may be Eli Vance's wife, as it's not impossible to see Chell as an older version of the woman in the picture that Eli has on his desk. Could be just crazy speculation, but I guess we'll find out (or have Valve tease us with a lot more cryptic information) soon.

It's just that if its as long as Portal was, I don't think I'd pay full price. Maybe it will be a download, or come in a new Orange-box style thing.

I know I'm probably going to be a lone voice, but I really wish they wouldn't make a sequal. The first game was great fun and a decent length and overall a decent, self-contained story. Any new one will probably end up trying to make things better and end up the worse for it.

I can pick out the word "and" easily, so the letters still around are

And it will come out to

Depends on the price. If it's longer I will play a full price. If it's the same length I do what you do. A new orange box would be cool. Including L4D games? I will probably still end up getting it eventually no matter the price.

No, it's pretty obvious that D RATMAN is a reference to the "cake is a lie" guy.

It's

"D RATMAN N HONEE"

Or, to put it another way:

THE RATMAN AND HONEY.

Portal is going to be a 2 player COOP game. with an AI partner.

It means they were able to make Portal 1 and 2 before Episode 3. I swear, episode 3 better be a full game because theres no excuse for a 2-6 hour sequel setup made with existing tools taking 3-4 years to produce.
