[release][B]VALVE ANNOUNCES MAKING GAMES IS HARD [/B]
June 9, 2010 -- Aperture Science, doing business as Aperture Laboratories LLC, in partnership with Valve today announced the successful completion of an ethics-review-panel-supervised release date restructuring process. Portal 2, the sequel to the ground-breaking title that earned over 30 Game of the Year awards despite missing its original ship date, is now targeted for a 2011 release.
Representatives from both companies acknowledged that public safety concerns factored into the decision. They went on to say that even though Portal 2 will arrive slightly later than planned, all life on earth won't instantaneously stop as every molecule in your body explodes at the speed of light, which is what would happen should a rip ever appear in the fabric of Valve Time.
"Also, the game will be even better," they added, missing an historic opportunity to create the first product delay press release to mention that a product is being delayed to make it worse.
To ask questions about how close we all came to dying, or to [highlight]ask futile questions about the previously announced E3 ***PORTAL-2-THEMED-FOR-GOD'S SAKE*** surprise[/highlight] or, less futilely, to schedule an appointment to attend a Portal 2 screening at the Valve booth during E3, please contact Valve's delegate to the EU's Valve Time Studies Group, Doug Lombardi.[/release]
On the other hand I guess that leaves more room for more ARG goodness :v:

So Portal's out of the way until next year.
That leaves us with Episode 3, L4D3, or something else we don't know about yet.

You mean like delay the delay so that it comes out on time? Being delayed is tradition for Valve games!
Guys guys guys, calm down, it wouldn't be a Valve game if it didn't get delayed.
I don't really care that much, i've been waiting for ep3 this long (3 years?) and i really can wait for Portal 2 a little bit longer, i'm sure it's going to be awesome. :)

I don't care! I just want Episode 3, god dammit!
