Wake up Neogaf, wake up and smell the ashes.
The people who played through the last ARG got the entire Valve Complete Pack + Portal 2 for the price of buying the Potato Sack Pack of games (which iirc was about $20), plus it was a really fun ARG. So of course people are gonna be excited!
It's pretty shity of them to tweet yesterday and not at least say (not HL related) whatevs it's not a big deal but that was pretty dumb. All it did was piss people off.
Can't wait until HL3 comes out and it's merely "great" instead of "mind-blowingly awesome".
Pfft, what an obvious cover up story.
You people must be so gullible if you believe that tweet.
Ding ding ding! This, completely.It's even shittier when a bunch of people jump to conclusions and scold a dev for doing nothing except messing with the looney.

A 28-page thread on nothing. Yep sounds like a Half-Life 3 tinfoil hat speculation thread. The internet is literally going to physically collapse when it's finally announced.
Eh, talking about the food has never improved the flavor. We can talk about disrespect if it isn't any good. This is all a sideshow until that point in time.They do need to say something. I don't think they're treating Half-Life fans with respect, and that whole chat about Ricochet 2 annoyed me because of the coyness of it all.

The quality of the game, Dax. Half-Life 2 was practically the second coming with the way it was talked about, and only achieved one of the better games ever made. I can deal with them not torturing me with the thousand and one ways they're figuring out what Half-Life 3 is. That's material for the post-mortem.The flavor of what? We have no idea what's going on with it, and it's annoying. Why not just release some tidbits here and there to keep fans happy? Old concept art, old ideas anything!

Yep, lol. Since circa 1999, talking about it in any respect has made waves. I can respect silence, because it's borne out of caution and experience (in this case, the ample experience of saying a lot of things they've had to walk back).You say this in a thread where fans hype themselves up off korean words off a random texture in a completely unrelated game

i meant the emotion towards a company for not delivering what "I" want
i just dont understand being pissed at valve or any entertaiment company for any reason other than they moved into your neighbourhood and started shaving cats or something
It's the constant teases and tomfoolery, I'm not that fussed but I completely understand why fans are, Valve have handled the whole thing so poorly.Ah. Yeah that is kinda silly.
.... There's still an unsolved puzzle here.
Jesus Christ. I feel bad for the SS2013 guys. They try to add something fun for owners of their game to promote something new, and nobody cares because they got their hopes up for HL.
I feel but for them too. But in defence of the madness, a Korean text puzzle occurring at the same time as Half-Life 2 updating with Korean language support is about as unlucky an accident as they could get. And, if anything, the knee jerk insanity just goes to show how voracious Half-Life fans still are after six fucking year.
Valve dug their own bloody hole.
I think you are over thinking this. Outside of a thread on Neogaf, thread on facepunch, and a poorly written article on Kotaku, this has had no wide-spread circulation. By Monday, nobody will remember this even happened. No reason to throw them under the bus for something so harmless.
While I would generally agree (and I used to be the first in the past to mock the community for this atrocious habit of building expectations over nothing and then blaming Valve of "trolling") in this case I have little sympathy for them because everything about this puzzle felt like a deliberate and disingenuous attempt to suggest the link with Valve to build up buzz around their game..... There's still an unsolved puzzle here.

I don't know if that was already mentioned, but I ran my planetarium software and found that between September 27 and September 30 this year Saturn will be pretty much between Venus and Mercury (at least as seen from Earth).
Edit: The dim star slightly down and to the right of Saturn is called lambda Virginis by the way!!!
That's just what they'd want us to think.

Internet says ... it's Sara Eisen of Bloomberg TV, and the strap-on looking thing might be some electronics that go w/ her mic, which is pinned to her collar. Apparently some female news anchors strap this stuff to their thighs.
Edit: also, erm...
Well, yes. Sort of.I saw that it's hilarious - but I think we honestly had fair reason to jump to conclusions this time.
It'll be funny when this goes down as the biggest unrelated coindidence in gaming history.
Just like bumping this thread.:{ More like deliberate way to stir up a hornets nest. I think I'm pissed at this point.

You got the wrong person, look closer.
