Here we go again. :neckbeard: I love how they used the ARG to call out people on FP who said it wouldn't be an ARG.
Omg EP3 arg
Sometimes I may lose my faith in Valve, but they always bring it back to me. They really are special.
[QUOTE=Foda;29001678]Omg EP3 arg[/QUOTE] Calling it now, Ep. 3/Half Life 3 ARG. :smug:
[QUOTE=>VLN<;29001801]Calling it now, Ep. 3/Half Life 3 ARG. :smug:[/QUOTE] I'm not sure what else they'd make an ARG for. This is good.
Woohoo, let the speculation begin!
[QUOTE=>VLN<;29001801]Calling it now, Ep. 3/Half Life 3 ARG. :smug:[/QUOTE] More like an ARG to announce DOTA 3. Or more TF2 hats.
Ricochet 2 ARG
Yay, Rabit hunting time.
[QUOTE=markg06;29002144]More like an ARG to announce DOTA 3. Or more TF2 hats.[/QUOTE] ha ha so funny...NOT!
They call it an ARG because that's the sound you make when you find out it's not Ep3.
Honestly, I dont understand why they are using potatoes??? Can someone please explain this to me? Potatoes >>> Half Life 3? Potatoes>>>Counter Strike 2? Sound like a lame ARG whatever it leads to.

Not Ep3, most likely the announcement for media center PCs (Game controllers, bigger screens, etc). Why else would multiple indie devs and Razer be associated with this?
Further proving my theory that Valve are massive trolls. Awesome trolls, by the way.
[QUOTE=niger;29002403][img_thumb]http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/ab310/arrancar47/NoFunAllowed.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] It would be fun if the ARG was actually relevant to the secret, and I don't see how potatoes can connect in any way to a game. The Portal 2 ARG? Now that was fun. This? So far this sounds stupid.
Calling it now, potato fools day is an ARG for farm simulator 2012!
Episode 3??? ha, yeah right. More like L4D 3 or somthing stupid like that.

Well, looks like I'll be staying up all night.
[QUOTE=hunter_killah;29002410]Not Ep3, most likely the announcement for media center PCs (Game controllers, bigger screens, etc).

"Couch potatoes" does connect, and Valve did announce a Big Picture Mode for Steam during GDC ([url]http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/28/steam-big-picture-mode/[/url]). And many games are involved, so it seems to be an ARG for the Steam platform itelf. All signs are pointing towards a Big Picture Mode reveal, and possible that Source Film Maker feature that was talked about a few weeks back (do a search on that page for the word "film" ([url]http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1803644[/url]). I think we've solved it!!! :cool:
of this isn't related to episode 3 I will personally rip gaben's dick off and jam it into his ass they've been fucking with us for too long, remember how they championed episodic gaming as the way forward while taking more time to develop ep3 than activision took to make 3 shitty cod games
I'm going to laugh and cry if Valve announces that work has [i]begun[/i] on Episode 3.

DOTA 2 arg.
If it is episode 3, I will rip off my shirt, scream of joy, and run in circles with my arms flailing.
all of the secret messages that were in the video were just inside forum jokes. personguy kept making fun of one of the fp'ers mom.
I took the numbers from the image: [code]72 101 114 101 39 115 32 68 97 32 66 101 101 110 115 44 32 68 111 117 103 116 97 116 111 58[/code] Then put it into a Dec/Char translator, and... [code]Here's Da Beens, Dougtato:[/code]
Noticed that people got clues from a some studio on location. Looked up The Ball's Teotl studios and Amnesia's Frictional Games to see if I could do the same. But both companies seems to be driven from home. Frictional have 5 employees and only 2 of them are in the same town, whilst Teotl only got 3. :( [B]Edit:[/B] Wrong thread. Oh well
