How far away is Mercury to Venus at the moment?

Approx. 31 million miles.

OH FUCK.

 

[Nightstick11]

For the mono-lingual barbarians still trying to decipher what this says...

the Korean letters literally translate to " Time is" or "what time is it"

 

[Easy_D]

In the picture is a hangman puzzle at the top. The solution to the puzzle is 25Sat1, because it fits into all the blanks.

January 25th is a Saturday in 2014. Cool to have a release date for L4D3

 

[Pinko Marx]

Looks like the special effect/black and white filter the G-Man had at the beginning of Half Life 2 during his little speech.

It looks like a Cubone sitting on a mountain top.
Half-Life 3 coming to WiiU with Pogeymans cross promotion.

No, it looks like dick butt. Check BrokenEchelon's post.

is obviously just

S A T U R N

and you take the first two letters: S A. Surely the first of many clues.

 

[masterkajo]

Doing more silly research, Sa (the boxed portion should Saturn be used), was the element symbol for Samarium until the 1920's. Somebody go look up the half-lifes of various isotopes of Samarium until something makes sense.

That's something I would have done were I in place of Valve. Having some element's half life as part of the puzzle is the only reasonable why to announce HL3.

 

[ekim]

Can someone write a summary of what happened?

 

[kayos90]

If you want to be really literal it could also be "Saturn time is"

 

[Concept17]

But Half-Life 3 already came out?

It means the next clue can be found on the Something Awful forums!

 

[Krusenstern]

I grunted. This thread is better than any crime TV series.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

It takes Saturn 29.45 years or 10,759 days to orbit the Sun.

 

[masterkajo]

So, how many hours does a Saturn day have?
How long is a day on Saturn? According to a new study, it's 10 hours, 47 minutes and 6 seconds-give or take 40 seconds.

No, it looks like dick butt. Check BrokenEchelon's post.

"Can you read it?"
"I wish...Its Machine Code."

This is my theory. It's only two letters for the whole card, and the others could be found elsewhere.

[BrokenEchelon]

Portal 2 was updated yesterday.

 

[PandaPedinte]

How far away is Mercury to Venus at the moment?

0.91 AU.

1AU = 149597871 Km

 

[Easy_D]

Now multiply that with Valve-time.

For the mono-lingual barbarians still trying to decipher what this says...

Yeah, that's been covered.

 

[kayos90]

Could also be a reference to Cronus.

 

[raphier]

Time is SA!!!!!!! OMG OMGOMGOMG!!!!!!11111!!!!!!!1!!!!







what does that even mean?

 

[LDAF]

100% accurate.

 

[OrangeYouGlad]

So the space game didn't get cancelled.

 

[BannedEpisode]

Could also be a reference to Cronus.

Kronos. The Klingon home planet.

Star Trek HL crossover confirmed.

 

[corn_fest]

Every time Valve does some sort of online puzzle-promotion people call it an ARG.
This is not an ARG, yet anyway. This is a puzzle.

So, HL4 hype thread?

 

[LDAF]

"Sa" is 4 in Korean in the sino system.

Half Life 2

[Mushroomer25]

Can someone write a summary of what happened?

- Half Life 2 releases a mysterious 3.7 Gig update yesterday that turns most of the in-game text into Korean.
- People flip shit, because Valve.
- Earlier this week, Surgeon Simulator releases a piece of TF2-themed DLC.
- Today, somebody discovers a puzzle on the bottom of an unlockable figure in the game. It contains Korean writing, leading to a possible connection between it & the Half-Life 2 update.
- Developers confirm the puzzle is official.

I think that's everything.

 

[Dug]

People are starting to grasp at straws:

 

[The Librarian]

Wait....


WAIT!!!


That surgeon has a watch! What time is it?

Looks like "18: 31"

 

[kayos90]

"Sa" is 4 in Korean in the sino system.

Or it could be pronounced in Sae for korean romaji which is bird... Or 3.

 

[corn_fest]

What time is it?

6:31.

and if the watch is also 18:31, then yeah, it's 6:31.

 

[Gowans]

Nice try, but I don't think HL-fans are desperate enough to believe THAT.


....


OMG GUYS HALF LIFE 3 ARG CONFIRMD!!!!!!!J!J!!!1!!!

ok that's the first genuine curious piece of info I've seen (if true)

I promise you I didnt fake it, put it down to coincidence then, playing lotsa dota, or the steam card beta flipping out on me but mega weird.

 

[Septimius]

OMG, HL3 FOR SATURN CONFIRMED

 

[Brick]

Even if this all turns out to be nothing, I love getting all hyped up like this.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

I just read through my dictionary real quick, there are 17,788 6-letter words in the English language.

 

[Pipomantis]

SA is for Sonic Adventure.

Still thinking Valve is releasing Dreamcast 2.

 

[Wind's Howling]

Looks like to me the watch says 19:31, not 18:31.
