Fuck this shit, I'm getting hyped.
The thing about Gabe saying to give hints for EP3 is most likely fake. Doesn't it defeat the point of them if we know they are hints or that they are coming?
Welp, looks like this 'internal source' might not be trolling. I'm too confused to tell since we've had so many red herrings and speculations lately... Is spitfire1945 rather legit guy? All I remember is that he was pretty active in potato arg

...Moooving on. Any updates, guys? Has anyone contacted Valve about that probably fake website, or about what that legit steamcast guy said about Gabe being given the go ahead, or, did anything ever come out of that "Status 'Gordon'" thing?
What the fuck am I reading?
[QUOTE=Deremix;33832063]did anything ever come out of that "Status 'Gordon'" thing?[/QUOTE] I don't think it's done anything yet.
What was up with the steam forums and informant? I haven't been keeping up.

[QUOTE=VaSTinY;33832390]Please don't.[/QUOTE] Seconded.
[QUOTE=Mr. Chop;33832289]What was up with the steam forums and informant? I haven't been keeping up.[/QUOTE] Nothing important right now.
The way I see it, Valve aren't sure they can handle Ep 3 at all right now. It could very well be in production, or maybe they hit a roadblock of some sort. Thing is, they aren't going to let a word out until they are sure the game will be released by a certain date. Once they're far enough in production to say to themselves "yes, it will be done by the summer", then they will start slipping bits of info for us, probably in their usual "ooh, it's a conspirancy!" way, masterfully controlling the rise of hype all the way to the release day to generate maximum sales. And we're going to like it.
