I wonder if Gabe enjoys tormenting us like this.

DOTA TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

That's fine. No biggie. I am going to burn your studio to the ground though Gabe. You've left me no choice.

@BigChickenDinner: Steam Big Picture Mode, a custom interface made for display on televisions (and televisions tend to be about 10' away from viewers, hence 10' UI).

A 10 foot User Interface. A UI designed to be seen from 10 feet away. Or the Steam Big Screen mode that has been talked about for use on TV sets.

Isn't that the new Steam UI they're making to make it better to look at on a TV?

(Larger fonts etc)

@BeachThunder said:

Yeah really what is that? A complete UI overhaul for steam?

Edit: Oh nvm. Thanks Matty.

He kept saying "we" (meaning Valve, I assume). Does that mean someone else could announce these things? Hmm...

WE STILL LOVE YOU GABE

But I was secretly mad excited about L4D3 :(

But didn't you... and then... and I...

Well played Gabe. Well played.

what if they announce it the day before E3

Surprise surprise…

So they're announcing Half Life 2 Episode 3 then? Alright, cool.

You, Gaben fuck.

Isn't this in direct opposition of something he supposedly said just days ago? Whatever... Valve *is* the kind of company that can announce whatever they want whenever they want. They've already announced a Half-Life project through various means (concept art, indirect speech, the "duh, they're making another one of those games because they left the last one off on a major cliffhanger and it sells like hotcakes" factor...), so it really doesn't mean a thing.

not as much as he enjoyed eating im betting

Technically, that announcement has a 3 in it.

But didn't you... and then... and I...

You mean what some dude on 4chan said he said just days ago? In the transparently bullshit article posted here yesterday that was clearly garbage if you read it for five seconds and engaged your brain? Then... yes.

Hence "supposedly," and all those words I used after that.

That's fine.... release the games you have already announced before you go announcing more stuff that won't be released for 4 years.

I'd rather they take forever and deliver a super polished game than banging shit out every year like Call Of Duty.

I have plenty of other games to play, so it isn't a problem.

What?

You just did the exact same thing. Some random email to some random guy that is supposedly from Gabe Newell is your source?

How is what you posted any less garbage filled than what was posted yesterday? You make a passive aggressive insult about engaging your brain but refuse to do so yourself?

GO away troll.

The whole Gaben Is A God isn't even funny anymore. Obviously he wants to rape the world.

@Heltom92 said:

It's how he survives. Most people need basic things like food, air, and things like that.

Gabe is able to live off the broken dreams of millions everywhere. He doesn't have a choice. it's either torment us or die.

Why do people keep torturing themselves with this? Valve is never going to let you play Half-Life 3 or HL 2: EP3, just like Bioware is never going to give me a real KOTOR again. Forget about it and if it ends up happening, then you get to be surprised and happy.

maybe when he said he was announcing something with a 3 in it, he meant that he was announcing that they weren't announcing anything at E3

The old republic is a real KOTOR.

KOTOR is over-rated anyway, decent story with terrible gameplay. You should hamper for Baldurs Gate son, it's far superior.

You've gotta read between the lines because gaben is like the fucking Sphinx. Just because they're not announcing any of those things doesn't mean they won't secretly confirm they exist. Through an ARG they never announce and will probably deny the existence of.

Kinda saddening, but not surprising. They do things at their own time and own way. It's not like the games press wouldn't come running if they were to hold their own event at a later date to announce anything, as they have basically become the central axis of PC gaming with Steam.

I almost would have preferred if he just hadn't say anything... Woulda been a huge disappointment come E3 and no (Aforementioned games) though

HE IS TRICKING US

It will be a surprise, right?

Right?

If he continues with his eating habits and somebody steals his nose, maybe he´ll even look like the Sphinx one day.

But in all seriousness.. what the fuck are they doing with Half Life 3? I mean, they´re big now.. they can surely afford some small team somewhere working on that damn game. They should just tell people if it exists or not.

This is logical.

Or maybe the wait for Half-Life 3 *is* Half-Life 3. We're actually playing the game right now.

Right?

Halflife 3 would over-shadow the current games set to be released. It would be pretty stupid imo.

Damn it Gabe.

So here's a thought: If it can't even be confirmed by the site or user base it was originally submitted to, then it probably shouldn't be labeled "source", should it?

If people would click the link and gain a sprinkle of reading comprehension, shit like this would get off the front page sooner.

Valve doesn't need E3 to announce anything.

Bummer.

Yeah, "We're" not. But Microsoft, Sony, or Nintendo might. Just sayin'
