Mines were old. This is new

I hope they don't produce an ARG inside CS GO because I really do not want that game.

Or are they just trolling us.

[QUOTE=timman;34111918]As unlikely as this sounds, is Valve hinting anything about August 20? Or are they just trolling us.[/QUOTE] the post-it note underneath says september 19 underneath and it isnt crossed out. so that is more likely.

[QUOTE=nightlord;34013346]It has not been Confirmed it is Half-life 3 instead of Episode 3.[/QUOTE] You know how Valve loves to do things in pairs. ;) It would be simpler to launch HL3 for engine purposes and so on, we all know Valve loves to show off their hard work. I expect it to be like Portal 2, with loads of secrets and stuff. All I hope for is that it doesn't end up like Diablo 3 and their one dedicated developer.

Seems like this is the biggest hint towards the next Half-Life installment we've ever gotten. Valve needs to comment on this. :q

Make Everyone Suspect ARG Fits. Sly valve.

I want to believe

Well that whiteboard has given me new hope because this is something that has DIRECTLY come from Valve. No shady sources.

Just wait for Chet "Our Artists can put anything they want on the textures, this is not an ARG"

Anyway, Operation Crowbar seems to have work at least on Valve facebook page, people are still sending crowbars on their wall. That's cool.

Not only facebook page [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/o808q/project_mesa_text_found_in_csgo_files/[/url] Share this link so everybody can see it.

[QUOTE=TCB;34108734]Before the ARG, did anybody else think that Portal's backstory was pretty empty?[/QUOTE] You're kidding, right? What about the whole thing about shower curtains and the three-tier program? It was ret-conned, but it was there. Unless you're talking about strictly in-game history, in which case, yeah, it's up to the player to infer all of the terrible things that must have happened in the facility. Same deal with TF2.

-snip, not funny I guess.-

I always liked Portal 1's backstory. It left so much undecided, you had to use your imagination to fill in the gaps. I also liked the half-life reference to the "world outside is changed."

[QUOTE=ViralHatred;34092694]The train was a metaphor, it was effectively saying "you're on a fixed path, you don't have a choice" In Episode 1 GMan attempts to collect you but is prevented by the Vortigaunts. At the end of EP1 you get on a train which in Episode 2 the train is completely derailed - You are broken from the bonds of the GMan.[/QUOTE] My brain is now filled with billions and billions of fuck... How the [B]FUCK[/B] do you people think of things like this?

Because Gordon said it in Ep2 intro maybe? Remember : Alyx : "oww" Gordon : "I hate those metaphorical trains"

I hope Ep3 updates all the old Source textures for HL2 as well. I'd imagine they're replacing them anyways so the graphics are up to date.

I also liked the half-life reference to the "world outside is changed."[/QUOTE] I loved that. It was sorta like how it was sort of like they were playing mind tricks on the player. When I was playing, when I heard that line, I was thinking to myself 'Does that mean the combine are on earth? Is she lying? Has something else happened I dont know about?' and so on. Or, maybe im thinking about it too deeply.

I always thought it was a reference to the 2 decades of portal storms after the RC.

[QUOTE=tostopagaben;34110621]Wait, since Counter Strike is getting an update, what if Day Of Defeat: Global Defensive is next.[/QUOTE] Actually that would be GREAT if they were making a new engine with support for larger maps. I love DoD. [sp]also needs the japanese and russians[/sp]

looks great. imagine a new dod :) but new games must be great

some1 on my steam friend list gave me this: [url]http://vividgamer.com/2011/12/12/half-life-3-arg-may-have-begun/[/url] o.O?

Also, please don't use those odd text emoticons (like o.O, or >_>), mainly for the same reason. Second, that's a rather old news posting at this point, and that "ARG" has already been proven fake.
