Something about head punches counteracting Valve time.

The one that's supposed to be better than everyone's console just because they're Nintendo? :V[/QUOTE]
The one that is technically and creatively better than everyone else's. And it's rumoured to be called the Nintendo.
It's not hard to be technically better than the competition, the competition is using half decade old hardware.

I have to admit bread crab does look delicious. :(
[quote]Maybe they didn't like what they had started so they restarted making the game from scratch[/quote]
If not mistaken, I thought Machinima did a story on Valve, and HL1, and because of the satisfaction thing, they actually had to redo a huge part of that, just not the same way how HL2 got leaked.
Why I think Valve is waiting with episode 3, is because of the impact it will have. What I mean with this, is that they want episode 3 to be very different from episode 1 and 2 and not become repetitive. If you look at Portal and Portal 2, many new features were implemented, but Portal 2 had a smaller impact. The same goes for L4D and L4D 2.
Since episode 2, the source engine has slowly been updated, added to and in the process has matured. Valve has learned how to use the engine to its greatest potential as can be seen in Portal 2. They really want to go BIG with episode 3 I guess. And they probably won't announce it at E3, because they don't want to take away the attention from DotA 2. After it's release in late 2011, we will hear more about episode 3 probably.
Has nobody thought about the possibility that Valve are working on ep3 and have just chosen not to tell anybody?

They do like to confuse people like that.
I wish that when EP3 comes out, it would revolutionize FPS games. Like HL1 and HL2 did.

To burn through ice to access other parts of the map and perhaps find hidden secret ice caches?

Ice based physical puzzles.
VALVE will be awesome if they managed to integrate an Ice system similar to Cryostasis's
In the end, it turns out Gordon Freeman is a living, painted ice sculpture, kept alive and frozen by his suit.
Well boys, I guess there's always next year.
FUCK.

We still have Nintendo's E3 presentation...
[QUOTE=razorbeamz;30298814]We still have Nintendo's E3 presentation...[/QUOTE]
Nintendo is about to announce their new console, and then Gabe walks out and interrupts the presentation, leans into the mic, and whispers "Episode 3."
The crowd erupts in cheering as Gabe walks off stage. Nintendo try and take control and announce their system. The crowd gets restless and boos the Nintendo execs off stage. The entire conference erupts into a riot and charge down the street killing 5 and injuring dozens more. Estimated damage to the surrounding area in the millions.
That's what I predict.

my dad works at nintendo and he told me what the conference is gonna be like.
The lights grow dark, followed by the room being illuminated by the screen saying "NINTENDO." After this, Shigeru Miyamoto and Reggie Fils-Aime both fly into the theatre on jetpacks from opposite ends of the room. They are both screaming at the top of their lungs, and they high five as they pass each other in mid air. They both drop down onto the stage and put on sunglasses. Flames rise up behind them as badass music begins to play. Then, Reggie and Shigeru say in unison (Shiggy in Japanese, Reggie in English,) "And now, we are extremely pleased to announce our new console, coming out tomorrow... THE NINTENDO GABE." After this is uttered, the audience starts screaming in terror as eagles scream to announce the arrival of the one and only GABE NEWELL, who bursts into the room from the ceiling. He lands on the stage, creating a massive shock wave that destroys all the cameras, thus ending video coverage of the event. As the audience regains their bearings, Gabe begins to rise into the air. He says in a clear, booming voice, "Half Life 2: Episode Three." The audience begins to scream hysterically, partly because of this momentous announcement, but mostly because at this point Gabe Newell has set fire to the entire stage, incinerating Shigeru Miyamoto and Reggie Fils-Aime, who explode into a torrent of 500,000,000 copies of Half Life 2: Episode Three. The games mercilessly barrage the audience, causing many causalities. The remaining audience members get up to see Gabe Newell rising into the heavens as the flames engulf the theatre, causing it to explode, which eradicates everyone inside along with all the copies of Episode Three. Nobody at E3 acknowledges these events, and the convention continues without a hitch.

We still have two days left and some of the events are named "super secret game" and "super secret sequel"
Our chances aren't completely gone.
This is the next Duke Nukem Forever

I just emailed Gabe the video saying "Leaked HL2 Ep3 Teaser Video! Is it real!? I can't tell!"
[QUOTE=XIII_GT;30301688]This is the next Duke Nukem Forever[/QUOTE]
Valve isn't that stupid.
In "The Final Hours of Portal 2" Half-Life 3 was mentioned, but not Episode 3.
I can imagine episode 3 starting with a video left by Eli.
Or you are just brieffed by Kleiner.
