It seems like GAF hates just about every gaming websites out there. Gamespot, IGN, Gamespy, Kotaku, Gamefaq, that banned site, that banned site, that banned site.

that other banned site.... the list goes on.

[Fantastical]

So on a Monday morning, IGN tweets a videogame quote that refers to waking up, and the internet's all "oh shit half-life 3". If IGN Movies next Monday morning tweets "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" is everyone going to lose their shit over Apocalypse Now 2?

You guys are so dumb that I'm going to use an even dumber analogy.

Is there a thread that explains why certain sites are banned?

Just curious.

[tkscz]

Sorry, I just love that image.

[Seraphinianus]

Yeah sure let's ban a video game website for posting a quote from a video game because crazy people read too much into it.

i'm not one to want to ban sites (I can filter the content presented to me with my own brain, thanks), but IGN knows exactly what they're doing with that tweet.

of course, they'd play it off like "we were just postin' it bros!"

If there's news about HL3, I'm gonna have New Delhi-sized boner.

If he's right, we will know something in about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Aki, you should NSFW tag those statuses, clicked the link to his Twitter page and found a topless chick. Awesome for work...

I don't get why people who are suppose to be working complain about NSFW stuff, shouldn't you be working and not visiting gaming sites?

Very professional. Also tits.

Never made much sense to me either. Pretty sure they could technically fire you for browsing GAF while you should be working.

it's been about 2 hours and nothing happened...

[Rapstah]

That guy isn't actually saying anything about HL3 today/night so I'm sort of confused. He's just stating he has tomorrow off because it's May 1st completely unrelatedly to everything else he said. In that context, everything else he said is pointless.

[Akihabara]

It may be midnight Usa time and Valve will announce something on the 1st May.

Well, well, well, guys.

I'm going to explain my tweets 'cause there might be some kind of misunderstanding here. Just like you, it was all sheer speculation from the IGN tweet.

The first one "Hahahaha, Valvefags are gonna touch their wieners hahaha" was just a snarky joke (as I might also touch my weiner if something HL3 related emerges).

The second one was just me complaining about working tomorrow (print press, deadlines, etc.) even if it's a bank holiday in France.

And the last one was just about how *my* wiener would insanely grow if the IGN teaser is worth something.


Sorry for the misunderstanding, guys, would never be that cruel to my fellow GAFfers, you know <3


EDIT : Also, this is my personal account, which explains the (sexy) topless chick and the foul "unprofessional" language.

half-life3.com was registered by Valve:

http://www.networksolutions.com/whoi...half-life3.com

And the database for it was updated yesterday. It's the same provider as the rest of Valve's sites.

it'll turn out to be nothing.

Record created on 28-Jun-1999 (before their HL2 record, huh)

The database being updated yesterday is interesting though. I wonder what that means - it can't be the site keeping track updating yesterday, because their record on half-life2.com was last updated in 2010.

[crimsonheadGCN]

If you go to the website:

half-life3.com

It just says "It Works!"

Or redirects you to orange.half-life3.com. It was going to here before: http://orange.half-life3.com/apache2-default/

Meet the pyro is a bigger deal to me than HL3

[SLEEPS7ALK3R]

Could E3 '12 be the year Valve announces HL3?

I want to believe.

1. Who's the chick?

2. Not cool calling people fags.

[derFeef]

They are both greater than any other gaming thing ever.

[crimsonheadGCN]

This was in the Portal 2 level editor video the other day. Looks pyro-y to me.

That is the same scene that is previewed on http://www.teamfortress.com/

[FINALBOSS]

I'm assuming the pixelated computer in the Portal 2 video is them working on HL3 lol.

[Pipomantis]

1. Who's the chick? 2. Not cool calling people fags.

1. I don't even know! Encountered her in a music video on Youtube and fell in love. (Found it, going wayyy too far in my Youtube history : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eg3xDliN-nY )

2. Part of some "running gag" I have on my account. I always end up calling myself a Googlefag so it has no foul meaning in my tweets :) (And as I tweet in french, it doesn't bear the same offensive meaning)

[NaM]

I'm expecting meet the pyro but I'd love to be wrong.

[Pipomantis]

EDIT: Nvm, stoopid post :|

[iceatcs]

Nah, news outlets are alright.

I want any twitter threads to stop.
I mean do we really need to see Hideo Kojima's twitter about his food photo, or Hironobu Sakaguchi's twitter about surfing.

I think we should ban twitter thread.
