-Valve releases an update that affects the HL2 Korean language pack.
-The update accidentally changes everyone's HL2 language to Korean (non-SteamPipe).
-Steam Support makes fun of the incident by putting a G-man quote in Korean ("Prepare for unforeseen consequences") in its tweet letting people know the issue will be fixed.
-Problem is fixed.
Wow, she is incredibly flat chested
that's her back, dude.
This.
I am hyped for another "Raising the Bar" book once Hl3 actually gets released.
I'd say we're more likely to get The Final Hours of Half-Life 3 rather than a coffee table book.
So what was up with this video? Audio glitch?

with the tweet i think this is real, theres too much evidence:
-Its the anniversary of the Korean war or something
-North Korea is pretty hip as the enemy, see homefront, olympus has fallen
-Future Korea is hip as the futuristic nation in the future, see cloud atlas, other stuff
-Korea is pretty hip right now. dust an elysian tale has korean letters in it for no reason, other non-furry Korean stuff is also popular
-Valve support tweeted about it in Korean

I wager it is.
That's the July issue. The elevator pic says August at the bottom. Still, nothing is happening dudes.
Soon to be announced that North Korea bought Valve. Valve's offices will be relocated to North Korea to physically export the work done towards Episode 3 into a nuke that Kim-Jong Watisthis will launch against the aliens that will land on Japanese soil two weeks from now (source: his toothbrush). Japanese president/shogun Naruto Utsimaru is saddened by the news and vows to never listen to Gangnam Style again.
Doto 2 will be working for those two weeks as planned. After that you have to wait for an announcement from Valve (which will be soon (tm)). Hopefully it will be worth the weight.

Surely he's joking? Not even Valve fans are this insane. I was pretty quick to jump on the ARG bandwagon at first but then logic took its place.
Valve made a joke of their update mistake. They probably didn't expect the korean localization to overwrite the regular english settings. That's the unforseen consequence/unexpected result
She's doing Dota voices, Legion Commander and Winter Wyvern specifically.
That's just what Doug Lombardi wants you to think!

If you google translate 'unforeseen consequences' to Korean and back it comes out as 'unexpected results'

"For the last time, It's not Half-Life 3! It's just a language update!"
"... that's exactly what you would say if you were doing an ARG!"

Was this posted ? http://fr.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/1h3r9p/hl3_arg_find_d3_c17_02hl3/
I'm sorry can you please explain all of that to a layman? I don't fire up my desktop actually that often. I know a bit about steam ranking, game counts but I'm not following entirely here.
Is this, that one particular user who is a special case scenario or anyone? - compare this against another account for me?
EDIT: this is starting to click................. It all hinges on a HL2 "beta" beiing updated - posted by "Alfred"
http://steamcommunity.com/games/220/announcements/detail/2110217062141668727
Hence the Level 13 stuff above and the Lev 13 elevator thing above.....

The whole "Half Life 3 breaks the sanity of gamers" is the best game Valve has ever done.
When you say nuts I hope you mean in the negative sense. The reason he only has 18 games is because Steam and Press packages no longer count towards your profiles game counts.
The only thing that is interesting is that the steam levels do kind of look like elevator buttons, but that's highly coincidental.
I'm all for fun and speculation but seriously, someone close this thread.
EDIT: Although I suppose if it does get closed people might make a new thread when they see the PC Gamer image so actually don't close this thread, but maybe put these tweets in the OP?

Ok fair point sure but at least can we find out why on earth HL2 Beta was "updated" is this common? I didn't think they updated HL2 betas? I'm lost and confused.
Why did Alfred post it? He's level 13 - I mean that ,.. it's pretty convenient, a stretch but convenient.
dave is ok

Adam's post-mortem is in regard to the Portal 2 announcement ARG, which took place in early 2010. Valve's most recent ARG of note was the Portal 2 early release ARG, which had a post-mortem written up by an affiliated developer the month thereafter.
Marc Laidlaw confirmed about 12 hours ago that there's nothing more to the update. I doubt he'd outright lie, so Redditors are just digging for gold that isn't there.

I thought that was just a sarcastic joke. But then again I haven't picked up a PC Gamer in almost a decade. So I have no idea if they actually do that. Seems like a pretty cruel joke if true.
Regardless though, it's kind of interesting time to post an article about ARG's don't you think? It's at least one more tiny piece of 'maybe' to this pile which is pushing it towards plausible. We need some cluey people in the games / files checking stuff.
Me personally, I'm not smart enough for that :/
As I edited into my above post, Laidlaw has confirmed there's nothing more to the update than "necessary housekeeping". And when you're a Valve employee, a company whose fans will look for clues in literally everything you do, there's no "right time" to publish something.
On a personal level, I don't see any connection between these two events: Adam's blog post was well over a week ago, after all.That's obviously a joke..
At this point the comments and posts from multiple sources saying you're clutching at straws is kind of convincing me, maybe we're clutching at straws. :/ There's a couple of things which might line up but until someone finds something solid in HL2 - I'm not sure.
Man, if it is or isn't - it must be incredibly difficult to manage an ARG that much is certain.

Why the long case?
Was there really as much of a following for the Duke Nukem sequel as there is for this?

Normal / not normal? I can't recall TBH and it's too late at night for me to complete 13 to see if it's the last one and it opens up 14?
