    Okay Valve you have our attention, Half Life 3 meets Portal 3 or Chell and Mr. Freeman joining together? Maybe Valve is making Hortal 3 starring Chell Freeman.

    Does that mean Gordon fucks Chell? And does the G Man get it on with GLaDOS? Why not just call the game Speech Therapy?

    I am starting to care less and less. Yeah, Half-Life was great, but this is just pretentious. Either say something or don't, the games weren't THAT great.

    But why release a HL game? Just keep rehashing zombies and hats to rake in the $.

    Wait, what's the source on this and do we even know it's from Valve? How does this work if Cave Johnson died and had his company fail due to competition from Black Mesa.

    I was ready to call fake, but there's no denying that that's J.K. Simmons, unless it's one hell of an impressionist.

    Edit: Oh, it's a fansite based on an easter egg.

    Seems like this is taken from the new Portal 2 DLC judging from my google search, don't look into it too much.

    I canz tell U the future;

    Cave forgets about the name change/too busy making money.

    Somebody tells him chancing the Resonance cascade for whatever (science) may make him famous.

    The little I hear, Valve is denying any involvement in sneaky stuff and has said ppl. are getting trolled. I'm going to go with the flow, in that I do not believe them or anything I hear or read. i notice they (Valve) like to make a little whoppee it seems, keep up interest. I personally do not expect a HL3 till the next consoles, if ever. just how I am handling it.

    No, they're not at all. The Borealis / Aperture aspect has been part of the lore since HL EP1/2 (2 specifically, but hinted in 1).

    That's the real question. We already know that Portal and Half Life are in the same universe... so it can't even constitute as a crossover anymore, but would that "mash up" be okay with people? Taking one universally praised game and somehow putting it together with another universally praised game?
     
    I do not know. I have a feeling that Valve will make the right call.

    Well to state the obvious, it's not canon since Aperture and Black Mesa were always competing business right up until the Black Mesa incident. They could change it but they would have to alter or ignore Episode 2 and Portal 2 to make it work. So I reckon it's maybe just a joke.

    It's probably unused audio from Portal 2. There's a bunch in the game's files.

    I can assure you that "402 Square St, Madbox, Newfoundland" is not a real address.
