Well, it might be shipping 6 years after EP2, likely meaning we can expect EP3 circa 2013.
[QUOTE=ironman17;32422771]Well, it might be shipping 6 years after EP2, likely meaning we can expect EP3 circa 2013.[/QUOTE] Sounds reasonable, seeing as we are getting DOTA 2 and CS:GO next year.
Kinda does, even though it was just wild guessing based on a lack of consistency in Gaben's haiku.
It also kind of works with that one guy's theory of releasing new games/updates of all their older stuff first. The next in line after CS:GO would have to be Day of Defeat, which could be next year. After that, they really have nothing else besides Episode 3.
[QUOTE=JumJum;32418499]That means that it ships in 6 years.[/QUOTE] No! 1+2+3+4+5+6 Episode Three ships in [i]21[/i] years.
[QUOTE=:smugspike:;32422993]No! 1+2+3+4+5+6 Episode Three ships in [i]21[/i] years.[/QUOTE] Divided by 7 Equals 3 Add in some bullshit equations Now we have 2013.
I should have seen it! :tiphat:

Sorry for being dumb but what's a haiku?
Hey wait, don't tell me... You don't know what haikus are? You have much to learn.
Well my joining year was the same as when I found out about the internet's communities so...
[QUOTE=red_pharoah;32423891]Well my joining year was the same as when I found out about the internet's communities so...[/QUOTE] Haiku is japanese poetry. It has 17 syllables in verses of 5, 7 and 5 respectively.
Ah, thanks.
any news.....nope its haiku discussion time
I see many posts. Maybe a screenshot has leaked! Nope, Just some Haikus.
A ship has set sail But it is stuck in the ice What a dumb ass bitch
Barney Calhoun says about that beer I owed you... then leaves for five years

steam was oddly down that could mean at least something hope it's dlc
Yeah, but that DLC is still not Episode Three. Even if Portal 2 had DLC about how the Missing Experiment happened, aka The Borealis would suffice me.
[QUOTE=Gavinmon98;32436804]steam was oddly down that could mean at least something hope it's dlc[/QUOTE]Way to much rainbows, why would a DLC have anything to do with Steam being down lol.
Don't know, but you know how Valve is.
[QUOTE=Tendakrunk;32435506]OH SHIT 21. MEET THE MEDIC COMING SOON.[/QUOTE] AND, it will star Roberto Callente as The New Director!!! [img]http://mlb.mlb.com/images/2008/09/02/wMlYytmv.jpg[/img] why? because he is number 21 on his team.
Episode 3 is the most disappointing game for me. They have been making us all wait an extremely long time. And for what? Episodes are supposed to be short continuations of a story, not full games. So imo, Episode 3 has been tossed long ago in favor of Half Life 3. It's been way too long for an episodic release. Not to mention at this point no body knows how much of Portal is meeting with Half Life. We all know the two science departments are rivals. This is obvious. But has valve been waiting for Portal 2 before they finish the Half Life 2 episodes? Or is it the beginning of a tie in series of games where portal tech is introduced into the Half Life universe. Personally, I think the most of Portal that will be added to Half Life is the Borealis. I can't picture Gordon using a Portal Gun no matter how awesome that would be. I don't see it fitting with the story. And no matter what, there is no reason what so ever to not confirm the development of valves most anticipated game. Team Fortress and Portal are far more successful than Half Life is right now because as far as anyone knows the series is dead. At least until proven otherwise. In short, Valve is being really fucking dumb with the next Half Life. It's rediculous. What the hell could possibly take so damn long to develop the next episode and if it's not an episode why won't they confirm a Half Life 3?

And just because aperture is in Half Life does NOT mean Gordon will ever cannonically use the Portal Gun i say Cannonically because there is a mod somewhere where you can add the portal gun to HL2 and its episodes for fun.
I don't mean to take credit for this recent onslaught of information, but; [IMG]http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/3776/unled1it.jpg[/IMG] I'm joking, it's probably unrelated.
gabe probably gets emails like that daily
[QUOTE=pdp;32438156]gabe probably gets emails like that daily[/QUOTE] I hope he doesn't feel sad when he reads them, he probably wants to say something about it badly :( Stupid Doug.
I really hope something Episode 3-ish does eventually come out, presumably if Half-Life 3 came out it wouldn't be set straight after Episode 2. I just want [b]anything[/b] that continues on the plot directly after Episode 2, give me a novel or a comic, just anything! Then my mind can finally be put to rest on the issue!
