Awesome. I seemed to have missed all the hub-bub while I was getting the rush potatoes. That game is pretty damn cool.

Wellp...I'm hard.

 

[Salsa]

Wellp...I'm hard.

i still need confirmation that this isnt fake.

If it is indeed real, then that pretty much confirms that its Ep3 related.


Not gonna get hard only for Valve to leave me hanging again, i need more confirmation.

How does it confirm anything about Ep. 3?

Borealis baby.

I don't think its real. It seems like a very crude way of continuing how awesome the ARG has been so far: accessing a console through the Steam chat program.

 

[StuBurns]

Borealis baby.

Portal 2 baby.

 

[Red]

Borealis baby.

Perhaps. The "bumblefuck consoles" part of the chat is a little iffy for me.

 

[Salsa]

Portal 2 baby.

If the Borealis is in any form in Portal 2, isnt it somewhat a confirmation that they are working on EP3 ? that's what im talking about.

 

[I AM JOHN!]

Oh God oh man oh God oh man oh God oh man oh God oh man oh God oh man oh God oh man oh God oh man oh God oh man oh God oh man oh God oh man oh God oh man oh God oh man oh God oh man oh God oh man oh God!!!

 

[StuBurns]

I guess you could say that. I think the reason they haven't talked about EP3/HL3 is because of something in Portal 2, we'll see, I hope that's the case.

EDIT: I just watched the Ball Portal levels, and I can't believe something so awesome is free, incredible.

 

[rasberryjam]

I don't even know what's real any more.

 

[Phantom Limbs]

I don't really expect the ARG to be related to HL, but the connection with the Borealis just gets me excited for whatever possible connections Portal 2 will have to the HL universe. Hopefully it's good, and hopefully it's a big clue as to what's going on with HL.
We all know of the

Borealis achievement in the game

but I dunno... I get excited. Nothing wrong with that.

IF this chat is legit.

And this:

I guess you could say that. I think the reason they haven't talked about EP3/HL3 is because of something in Portal 2, we'll see, I hope that's the case.

I really believe this is the final thing that has been holding HL news back. They keep saying they aren't talking about it for a reason, and this HAS to be it. I mean, Jesus Christ.

 

[brotkasten]

I don't even know what's real any more.

Is this the real life or is it just fantasy?

 

[faceless007]

I still don't quite get it, are we supposed to believe he got console access to some Valve computer (even if part of the fiction) through Steam chat?

 

[Zomba13]

Perhaps. The "bumblefuck consoles" part of the chat is a little iffy for me.

Yeah, that seems odd to me.

This just got more awesome with Steam's

Although it is fine for me!
