Half Life 3 general discussion - EVERYTHING FROM VALVE IS AN ARG - Games

[QUOTE=Ardosos;34124330]Those were the portal storms, and either Aperture was somehow shielded, or they exterminated anything that came in. I would assume the prior.[/QUOTE] GLaDOS tests on anything that moves until it doesn't anymore. Then she uses the body to test other things. She probably made the laser emitters out of stalker heads.

[QUOTE=J!NX;34131906]There was a theory that the combine stole the tech they had to some degree, but that'd have to conclude they had a portal gun, most likely.[/QUOTE] It would be pretty neat to play a game with NPCs that use the portal gun offensively while also intelligently, although that would mostly be from the ways it could mess with you.

And there's no reason they'd send Stalkers anyway.

[QUOTE=timman;34129503]That would be cool TF2 promo. It would be the only promo I would ever want :v:[/QUOTE] What about a crowbar replacement for the bat?

What about a crowbar replacement for everything? Crowbar guns, crowbar sentries, crowbar invisi-watches.

[QUOTE=Butthurter;34142486]why? because a magazine finally grabbed hold of such overpowering rumors that even fans themselves chose to believe (also rumors generated by the fans themselves in the first place)[/QUOTE] ^Why I said "Not really". So many straws to grasp.

[QUOTE=Deremix;34142098]This is something I trust. I'd stake money on this being true... ...Not really. But hopefully its true. :c[/QUOTE] well it is true that magazines make lists of most expected games

Valve better come up with the god damned half-life 3.. i don't really care when.

[QUOTE=Bat-shit;34149086]Valve better come up with the god damned half-life 3.. i don't really care when.[/QUOTE] Even if they take 5 more years? No way. I used to be a fan like you, but then I'm not gonna make a stupid joke, so I'll just say I changed my mind and Valve is starting to piss me off, at least talk about the goddamn game! I don't care if they don't release any screenshots or videos, just talk about it!

A more likely solution is that Aperture captured some combine and studied their technology.

[QUOTE=Ctrl+Alt+Llama;34150912]A more likely solution is that Aperture captured some combine and studied their technology.[/QUOTE] Then how would Aperture have that incredibly advanced tech in the 90's?

[QUOTE=tier56;34151054]Then how would Aperture have that incredibly advanced tech in the 90's?[/QUOTE] Perhaps the combine have visited before? Recon by an alien species.

[QUOTE=Ctrl+Alt+Llama;34151069]Perhaps the combine have visited before? Recon by an alien species.[/QUOTE] Well that's not how the canon Half Life storyline goes. The combine didn't find earth until the resonance cascade and Gordon killing the Nihilanth.

From Steam Forums, about the CS:GO HL pics [t]http://oi44.tinypic.com/2j3195g.jpg[/t] And remember what they said: "The community is trolling the community, not Valve." Right, right.

I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORRRRRRRRRRE

i had a weird dream tonight. I was visiting Valve in Seatlle and Gabe wore a bellyfree tshirt.

[QUOTE=sWiftyious;34157149]i had a weird dream tonight. I was visiting Valve in Seatlle and Gabe wore a bellyfree tshirt.[/QUOTE] Ha, I had a similar dream a while back but it was Gabe Newells face on a fakefactory like Alyx(a reasonable model)..... I was scared for a long time. -snip- found it.

Huh. I just had a weird dream that everything on Steam started turning orange and lambdas were popping up. MY DREAM IS AN ARG.

EDIT2: False alarm! [url]http://twitter.com/#!/garrynewman/statuses/157052470990876672[/url]

Soon: People who sent crowbars receive package from Valve containing shirt. People who sent a lot of crowbars now have [i]a lot[/i] of shirts to get rid of. All aside, you've gotta dig how far people go for a joke. Thanks Garry. :v:
