The latest in IGN troll fodder? or... "Wake up and smell the ashes."

That's just cruel.

If IGN really know something, that's just cruel.

If IGN is just using a HL2 quote for the hell of it without knowing anything, that's just cruel.

It'll end up being a tease for Meet the Pyro: "Get it, internet? We fooled you by using a Half-Life line that can also act as a reference to TF2's incendiary class!"

I wish HL3 would get announced and be released, as it would be my first Half Life game. I've tried several hours of HL2, but nothing was happening aside from me getting headaches and nausea from the FOV, even after changing it to 90+. :(

When you burn things, you will have ashes.

It's the pyro thing. No way Valve would let IGN hint at HL3.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Making a HL2 refrence without context is a lot like yelling fire in a crowded theater.

...

Wake up and smell the ashes.

We were sleeping in a theater while fire was burning the screen.

What burns the screen?

Meet the Pyro.

Because they tweeted a HL2 quote that rabbid fans are blowing out of proportion?

You say it as if they did not know it would generate hype, retweets, and follows based on the fact that everyone thought it was HL3.
They are one of the largest gaming news outlets, them tweeting something that sounds like HL3 is coming is different than joe shmoe tweeting the same.

This is a deliberate, and dick move by IGN.

So yeah, maybe idiot was not the most proper term. Jackasses suits them better.

*If this is indeed not HL3.


And thinking about it now, what if it is Black Mesa Source?

Black Mesa Source would justify using the quote but we all know BMS is never coming out.

Can't be Black Mesa. It's impossible to smell the ashes of a frozen-over hell.
