I can also confirm the Marc email being real: [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2668640/Marcz.PNG[/img] In case you needed another source.

I want to believe.

I have a feeling Ep3 will be released 2013. As a marketing thing, they will do a teaser and no one will know what it is until the very end, when it saysw "2013" in big letter, while the 0 and the 1 fade out and simply leaving the 2 and the 3 and etching in the words "Half-Life" and "Episode" in the correct places.

Deus Ex updated just updated. Brandonsh says it's 312 bytes. Not only is there a three there, but [B]2[/B] + [B]1[/B] = [B]3[/B] :tinfoil:

Half-Life 3 Episode 3?

They are releasing Half-Life 2 Episode 1 again! [I]THREE[/I] times.

Are the steam forums down for anyone else?

WHO CAN WE TRUST

[QUOTE=Meatpuppet;33851730]WHO CAN WE TRUST[/QUOTE] Presumably Gabe Newell...

[QUOTE=Meatpuppet;33851730]WHO CAN WE TRUST[/QUOTE] Wish I could do more than make an image out of my email account.

And now everyone will start screaming it's fake.

Woo, not a huge surprise.

[QUOTE=SnowCanary;33851823]Woo, not a huge surprise.[/QUOTE] It's not. We seem to be stuck in a cycle of boarding the hype train only to have it derailed.

yeah cause Gabe's gonna go "Oh yeah, we're preparing the ARG right now"

Maybe gabe hasn't planned anything for half-life 3 (or ep:3, whatever you like) yet and has no Idea what the hell we are talking about. So my Idea is to flood his email inbox with hundreds of lambda pictures to get it through his head that we are going insane waiting for it. MAYBE he'll make a move after that.

[QUOTE=tostopagaben;33851893]He has an episode 3 mail filter[/QUOTE] Welp, drop the books, we're screwed.

Of course he isnt gonna say yes, that would be blatently telling us it exists! He wants to provoke us. Yessss.

[QUOTE=MajorMattem;33852104]Of course he isnt gonna say yes, that would be blatently telling us it exists! He wants to provoke us. Yessss.[/QUOTE] I sincerely doubt he'd blatantly lie.

[QUOTE=Sled Dog;33851967]Welp, drop the books, we're screwed.[/QUOTE] Dear Gabe Newell Episodé Thrée.

I don't care if it's stupid, I'm starting to get angry about this. I wish Valve would at least release some finalizing statement saying that if it isn't publicly announced through Steam or a Valve employee via a Gabe-statement, it's not real. Seriously this is quite unfair in the fact they're allowing people to just string us along like idiots. If they really care about their fans they'll show us a little respect by standing up to the bullshit.

Welcome to the hype roller coaster. Your hype must be THIS HIGH to ride.

[QUOTE=leveraged;33853027]Ok, folks I just talked to the informant and we clarified boundaries on what can be shared and what can't be shared. And I also asked him about whether or not Gabe authorized hints on Half-Life stuff. And he said he didn't know who had given the go ahead. He just assumed it was Gabe when he first told me, 'cause Gabe is the boss, right? Lol... So to clarify, the statement should not have referenced Gabe, and instead should have been: "Someone at Valve has authorized or given the go-ahead to start leaking or dropping Half-Life related hints, or clues, or easter eggs or references or any combination thereof." And that's the full extent of what I can share. I'm not authorized to share anything else, and I will respect the wishes of the Valve dev and the informant. Hope that helps! (And if you're thinking I have something to gain by this, I don't. In fact I risk looking like a fool and troll by sharing even this much. But whatever, I'm enjoying this, and it's Christmas!! I think it's high time Half-Life fans got a little gift like this.)[/QUOTE] [url]http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showpost.php?p=27228378&postcount=275[/url]
