Valve Conspiracies: The Portal Radio Update (Megathread Mark II) - Games

I sent gabe an E-mail. Just for the fun of it, I made it Morse code. All I did was ask for more info anyway and he'll send back Protocol 602 again probably.

Oh crap, come to think of it, if only Steam on Mac is unveiled at the GDC, this would be the biggest troll Valve has ever made

[QUOTE=blendermf;20538262]not sure if this has anything to do with this ARG (hopefully what I'm posting isn't what this is all about, but something separate, or in addition to) [URL]http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1173159[/URL] (sorry for the self promotion, but I have stuff from multiple sources there with all the different images)[/QUOTE] Those links are all truncated.

[quote][url]http://www.macrumors.com/2010/03/03/valve-teases-upcoming-half-life-release-for-mac/[/url] Don't think it has anything to do with whats going on now but, these fairly obviously seem to indicate some Valve games on the mac. They show stuff from HL,TF and Portal. [url]http://images.macrumors.com/article/2010/03/03/145949-valve_teaser_800.jpg[/url] ^looks all white and macish, appears like there may be a apple logo on his chest. [url]http://images.macrumors.com/article/2010/03/03/150310-valvemac-lg.jpg[/url] ^not sure if I need to say anything about this. [EDIT] Also found this screen shot from this article: [url]http://www.macnn.com/articles/10/03/03/teaser.hints.at.portal.team.fortress.2/[/url] [url]http://photos.macnn.com/news/1002/shack2.jpg[/url] ^apple ipod commercial anyone?

"I hate differently" hmmm... Also the L4D logo has the old school colors like the old mac logo. [EDIT #3] 5th image from macrumors [url]http://images.macrumors.com/article/2010/03/03/154953-valve_5_800.jpg[/url] ^recreation of classic mac ad, "Steam for the rest of us", clearly shows steam logo on the mac. The article in the image is also rather funny. Most likely it will just be ports of the games already released, but who knows maybe it is for brand new games that happen to also run on Macs, who knows.[/quote] A sixth image has been found. [quote]6th and (supposedly) final image indicated by dots, from macrumor/macworld.

I'll see if I can find a larger version.[/quote]

The marketing director is a TROLL!

[QUOTE=Risonhighmer;20538511]Those links are all truncated. We need the full link to actually see what's in them.[/QUOTE] sorry, hold on. [EDIT] K, the links are fixed in both posts.

Did we ever actually get confirmation that that email from "Gabe" was actually real? Just wonderin'.

I emailed Gabe "Begin Operation valkyrie stage one"

[QUOTE=TBot_Alpha;20538549]Did we ever actually get confirmation that that email from "Gabe" was actually real?[/QUOTE] I highly doubt it isn't

You guys are barking up the wrong tree. Valve is doing more than mentioning a port to the Mac. There's to much information not being used if we just take the one apple out of all of this. And if so, why with all the excessive bonus material? Valve: Let's throw these in for good measure, I mean, it's a good idea, we've already showed them the picture of an apple, but check this out, well even let them dial up this modem just for shits and giggles.

[QUOTE=TBot_Alpha;20538549]Did we ever actually get confirmation that that email from "Gabe" was actually real? Just wonderin'.[/QUOTE] Nope, didn't even post headers. That user who got emailed is banned now too.

There is too much plot information from this ARG to just be mac ports of already released games. If it was a double announcement of new games, and mac compatibility, I think I'd cream my pants. If its just the mac crap, this would be the biggest and worst episode of Valve trolling ever.

OP, you could put that image I made to the thread so my Portal Conspiracy image wouldn't go to complete waste :v: It'd also be a nice surprise to the new readers coming to Facepunch just for this thread. [img]http://dataus.net/image/portalconspiracy_470b274f6c4943d9c1b3c3c3ed637173.png[/img]

[QUOTE=Zenpod;20538718]"Begin system42 booting"[/QUOTE] "Error initiating system34 folder, proceed to system35?" :smug:

[QUOTE=thefrog;20538757]Would be interesting to see combat in portal. First thoughts on Aperture science weaponry Black hole gun[/QUOTE] This may be old news, but in episode one there is left over content from a black hole grenade.

11/03/10 D/M/Y I doubt we will get any more info before that date.
