[QUOTE=Bokito;38850709]It's funny because after all this joke shit nobody will notice once Valve actually does something themselves.[/QUOTE] "oh lol some douche registered half-life-ep3.com it's probably nothing" Next day episode three released on steam with the only announcement being on the website. I wonder how long it will take before we notice.

[QUOTE=Whatsinaname;38851225]Why would you post it if it's 100% guaranteed to be nothing?[/QUOTE] So others dont

[QUOTE=a-cookie;38853236]vortigaunt slippers[/QUOTE] I want it.

[QUOTE=kikijiki;38850646]100% Guaranteed to be nothing but what the hell i'll post it anyway [url]http://www.halflife3beta.com/[/url][/QUOTE] This is getting really old.

[QUOTE=Marlamin;38851551]So others dont[/QUOTE] Yeah, because it's really stopping others from posting it. This has now been the 3rd or 4th time it has been posted. Looking back I was actually thinking of another website, but I think this one has been posted at least once before.

Speaking of terrible fakes, does anyone remember that really awful Russian teaser video where it's just two badly rendered trains in a tunnel and a random lambda? I can't find it and I need a laugh.

Why does HL2 have a different crosshair on Xbox?

Winter sale starts on the 20th; wouldn't it be awesome if each day of the sale was part of an ARG leading up to the release of HL3 on Christmas morning...

[QUOTE=DevinWatson;38859639]Winter sale starts on the 20th; wouldn't it be awesome if each day of the sale was part of an ARG leading up to the release of HL3 on Christmas morning...[/QUOTE] No. Why does fucking everything need to be an ARG of some sort?

[QUOTE=Francisco;38860020]would've been 100 times more believable if he used sfm[/QUOTE] Valve would never put lens flairs in a trailer like that.

I don't like most ARGs because they require certain skill sets I just do not have, or just a godlike amount of patience and persistence. Plus, I can't feel as though I have actually contributed, because by the time I probably would figure something out, everyone else would have figured it out already.

I go to class and I come back and have 200 pages of forum thread to catch up on.

I don't fucking care about an ARG at this point, I just want to hear SOMETHING. A screenshot, a video. some information goddamn ANYTHING.

[QUOTE=Marcolade;38859966]No. Why does fucking everything need to be an ARG of some sort?[/QUOTE] Because they're fun, and it gives me a reason to get on IRC...

I still remember the poor bastard who was using paint.net and found them by accident, no one believed him. I had a blast tracking down locations in Seattle using Google maps as well.

[QUOTE=DevinWatson;38859639]Winter sale starts on the 20th; wouldn't it be awesome if each day of the sale was part of an ARG leading up to the release of HL3 on Christmas morning...[/QUOTE] The last title came out 5 years ago. Just making a release without any advertising campaign would be a kneeshot.

It'd be nice if games gave you the lense flare effect... When you look through a lense.

[QUOTE=The Jack;38865479]It'd be nice if games gave you the lense flare effect... When you look through a lense.[/QUOTE] Well, Gordon kind of has glasses and he might sometimes wear his helmet with a visor.

No. Gordon wears magic glasses that don't attain mud or blood or water upon it's surface [B]or[/B] refract light oddly. there is no alternative. Either that or his glasses are only for reading.. which would be a good excuse for blury textures..

Don't forget, his glasses are also indestructible. They have to be, with all the shit he goes through.
