I'm not convinced the steam support tweet is related but, eh

EDIT: for those not in the know, it's a quote from Ricochet 2

EDIT 2: PC-Perspective was apparently sent a crowbar from Nvidia about a week ago. Again, probably not related, but I'm all for turning this into a HL3 rumor trash thread if need be.

EDIT 3: Valve tweet probably unrelated, probably all bunk, life is meaningless, etc. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showpost.php?p=30539107&postcount=35

Coincidental timing for both. I think Burton was just highlighting the new feed page that he created. And IGN is on drugs.

G-Man: Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman. Rise and shine. Not that I wish to imply you have been sleeping on the job. No-one is more deserving of a rest. And all the effort in the world would have gone to waste until... well, let's just say your hour has come again. The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. So, wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and smell the ashes.

It's a Half-Life 2 reference for those that don't know. One of the first things the G-Man says at the beginning of that game.

Edit: Beaten and better said.

probably just a random quote to make people think they are alluding to something and thus more hits/followers. #cynicismaboutgamejournos4life

I really hope that Valve finally does announce HL3. I don't care about the game personally, but I'd love to see the endless waiting and speculating come to an end. :)

That said, it's IGN, so they are probably just trolling for clicks again.

Troll.
To be honest, I just don't care about HL3 anymore. Many better franchise have come out these years, as brillaint as the first 2 games are, Valve need to do something out of this world to get me again

Generating clicks on your video game site can be so easy! Just tweet a random quote from a popular video game series with a long awaited sequel!

On the other hand, if this isn't Half Life 3 related, they fully understood what they were doing.

This could get GAF's interest, thread title should be changed to reflect what the troll is about.

I could easily see Valve starting up some kinda HL3 Ricochet 2 ARG leading into an E3 reveal sort of like they did with Portal 2. But atm, it seems to be more of a waiting game than anything.

I feel like Valve is kind of stuck, because HL 3 or Ep 3 has gotten so much anticipation and hype behind it that it's going to be hard to deliver. Well, I guess it was similar for TES: V and Bethesda delivered on that, so it's still possible. I would think that HL 3 still has a lot more anticipation behind it though.

IGN being IGN...


Althought I would LOVE this to be a HL3 announcement.


I want HL3 to look and feel as fresh and impressive as HL2 did back then, when people were buying Ati cads specifically for HL2. (Anyone remember 3DC?)

Has IGN ever straight up trolled in such a fashion? I really think something is happening. Whenever new sites pop up I never believe them, but if IGN tweets a cryptic quote from Half-Life 2, I think something is happening.

EDIT: NO ONE TELL ME I'M WRONG GOD DAMMIT!
EDIT2: Half-Life fans... ATTACCCKKKKKK!!!!
