Just gonna take a step off the joke / hype train and call it now: it is not an ARG or anything promotional for anything Valve-related or with a 3 or whatever.

 

[diamount]

I need to take up smoking.

 

[legacyzero]

Aren't we on the eve of a Summer Sale?

 

[PandaPedinte]

Playing HL2 in Korean, best voice acting ever!

Half Life Zero.
Its a Chime type of game where you have to build toward a Portal to Xen.

 

[Gattsu25]

The tweet is clearly poking fun at themselves, but I do like that even a small joke gets this sort of reaction. Haha.

STOP IT

 

[epmode]

OH GOD I LOVE HALF LIFE THREADS

This is going to end well for everyone!

 

[Skab]

I'm trying really hard to not let myself get my hopes up here.

But it's fucking Half Life so I'm already excited and waiting to be disappointed.

Does anyone remember how the Portal 2 ARG started?

Portal one got a patch, which added a bunch of radios (that were later found to be playing messages) in game and added an addition to the ending (chell being dragged back into the compound).

 

[afoni]

Has nobody scoured the files yet? Fucking come on, guys.

WE'VE BEEN WAITING NEARLY SIX YEARS FOR THIS.

 

[FACE]

I hope it has decent gunplay and AI this time.

*ducks for cover*

It always does!

HL2 related hats for TF2 incoming.

I CAN'T TAKE THIS SHIT FUCK YOU VALVE.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Do we have official patch notes for the update?

 

[Skab]

Patch 1


Patch 2

Yep.

God that was a fun day to be on the internet.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

At this point watching the Internet react to HL3 would be way more entertaining than HL3 itself could ever hope to be.

No, the HL3 ARG is finally here.

Wait, the Kim Jong-Un thing was actually in game?

Or am I misunderstanding something here?

The folks over on the steam hl2 forums may have found a teaser from valve in next months pcgamer issue, can't link it because its a scan of the magazine but maybe something hl3 related is on the horizon

Teasers are fine to post. As long as it's not an article, review or screenshots.

Saw a pic of it, not sure what to make of it tbh.

I need this to happen...

That was a joke

ha ha, fat chance, anyway this cake is great, it's so delicious and moist

I think it's just PC Gamer having fun/trolling.

valve tweeted this
"WARNING: The most recent HL2 update has some issues. We're working to fix this, you can pause the update for now. 예측하지 못한 결과에 대비하라..."

no idea what to make of that last part

edit: google translate came up with this "Prepare for unexpected results"
Unforseen consequences?

 

[Chavelo]

The teaser (which there is a digital version of) basically lists down a number of things as an elevator panel.

The 13th one says "Half-Life 3 Development" but it is scratched out, followed by a sticky note next to it that says "FPS DEVELOPER TERRARIUM".

WHATDOESITMEANNNNNN-

OH SHIT, THE KOREAN TEXT IN THE TWEET SAYS: "Prepare for unexpected results" WHEN TRANSLATED

 

[Tain]

am I falling for some serious shit?

is that steam support twitter account real?

is this happening?

am I alive?

 

[Deleted member 80556]

It's a joke, has to be a joke. Nothing more, nothing else.

God dammit, Valve.

 

[Hellix]

I'm so excited for Ricochet 2.

The Korean text translates to "Prepare for unexpected results ..." via Google

 

[goodfella]

I hope to wake up tomorrow with news of the hl3 arg.

Should have been Unforseen Consequences, fake.

Everything is going according to the 계획.

[kutthoat5150]

fuck this, i'm putting on my tin foil hat and going back to my studies I can't take any more of this tease

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

It's a joke. The steam support twitter account tends to throw their own little jokey spoofs into their tweets and I have no reason to believe this is any different.

Yeah I saw this as well...I don't want to get excited for anything yet though.

 

[Syf]

I love me a good Half-Life speculation thread! Please give it to me gaben.. my body has been ready for years.

 

[Lulubop]

I'm starting to believe.

 

[Tehalemi]

Not sure if I should post it. I mean it's not a scan, but it looks like a straight up screenshot of PC Gamer's August 2013. Bottom left says it's on page 98.
