[QUOTE=Sardonus;35797998]Wow. What'd I fucking tell you guys. You all did this. Again, getting hyped up when we all knew nothing was happening.[/QUOTE] if you get jumpy at the slightest little drop of the pin then I'm sorry but... that's kinda dumb. they'll announce it PUBLICLY when they are ready, not vaguely.

You wanna know the oddest thing for me? I've never really been into Half Life. For me it's always been a fun game but not one of my favorites. But I'm hoping for Half Life 3's release. You know why? I honestly think it might be because of the fact that I'm a Fan of the Pittsburgh Pirates. For those of you who don't follow Major League Baseball, the Pirates had their last winning season in 1992, the year I was born in. And yet I still remain a fan. So I can't say I agree with people who say "I'm not going to get my hopes up," or "I'll just be disappointed again." Because for me, every spring I' remain hopeful and come October, I just shrug it off and say "Oh well, maybe next time." And I feel the same way about every possible Half Life 3 announcement. I get interested and when it turns out to be nothing, I just shrug it off and keep walking. Sorry for the lecture. I just wanted to share this.

[QUOTE=Blackwheel;35795243]pitch darkness at E3 2012, audience is unsure of what just happened, power failure? all of a sudden, this plays: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFeK9PwgjtI[/media] everyone is crying/screaming, lights slowly go up, Gabe is already on stage with a crowbar in hand, "are you not entertained?!", chucks the thing into the audience, hits someone in the head, paramedics are called, show is cancelled, Valve issues public apology[/QUOTE] I laughed so hard when I read this, then an hour later I remembered this post and went into a fit of laughter.
[QUOTE=Neo Kabuto;35787178]You say that like it would be such a bad thing.[/QUOTE] not at all
I bet Valve was aiming for a reveal this year at E3 and they just didn't cut it. That would explain why Gabe is getting a little looser about referring to it. I doubt it's any fun at all anymore. I remember ages ago when people would ask him about it, and he would get that big dopey smile and deny everything, like he had this super cool secret he couldn't wait to tell us. It must be a burden to keep something you're excited about under tight wraps for so long.
