Resorting to standard protocols.

Keeping an eyeball on situation, look at every single peice of information like its a slice of month-old bread and take nothing less than the Word of Gabe that the game is confirmed for release.

Which is why Valve doesn't make full (as far as I feel) games anymore. Portal 2 was great, but not for the price. Since the majority doesn't see it as I do, Valve will continue to make less, and sell it for more.
Portal 2 was their latest game. Before that there was the L4D games, both of which are loaded with free DLC campaigns and are inherently based around the idea of being replayed, and before that was The Orange Box, which was 5 games for the price of 1. And DOTA 2's going to be F2P.

So... yeah. You could argue about L4D but even they said that was something of a fuck up. So that's a fairly hidden 'trend' you've spotted.

OT: Episode 2 came out in 2007. Where does the "eight years" come from? Oh, HL2, I guess. (That still makes no sense.)

Its meet the pyro. Pyros burn things to ashes.
Yeah, I'm thinking this too but they could be double bluffing and announce half-life 3 in the Meet the Pyro video.

Unlikely but if they did that it would be seriously fucking funny.

I'm guessing we'll see HL3 reveal at this year's E3.

I don't get why everyone is so worked up on the game. Great series granted but, I dunno maybe I'm the only one with the mentality "if it happens, it happens"

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath until E3, where I will be massively dissapointed once more. Until then, NO VALVE NOT AGAIN.

Gabe's probably trolling. Especially with the comment about them not showing something completely brand new at E3 this year. I am expecting them to show something big this year, other than the stuff they have announced. I mean, come on, it's Valve. (Even though they can't count to 3...)

I don't care about half life 3 anymore. Have treated the fans like crap for years now, straight up trolling us. They no longer deserve our money or respect.
Yes, 'cause treating people like human beings instead of wallets and handing out so much free stuff is just so cruel. When will they ever stop? And when will the fanbase ever learn to stop trolling themselves while Valve just goes and does whatever? Why are the fans being so... fanatical?
Furioso said:
They should probably hurry up and announce something, anything concrete, I know a lot of people (myself included) have just stopped caring at all for the game
Counter-Strike: Global Offense and Dota 2 are coming out for the Wii U. Isn't that more than what we normally get?
