This could be a ARG, also from a simple google search I found this.
[release]Ryuk (リューク Ryūku?) is the main Shinigami of the Death Note series. He is 6'6" according to Death Note volume 1. Bored with the activities (or lack thereof) of the Shinigami realm, Ryuk obtains a second Death Note by tricking the Shinigami king and drops it in the human realm for someone to find, hoping to amuse himself. He deliberately writes the instructions on the front page (in English, which he assumed was the most popular language in the human realm) so people would understand its purpose. The Death Note is discovered by Light Yagami, and Ryuk follows him around for much of the series to see how Light uses it. Ryuk has a fairly humanoid appearance. His skin is gray, or a purplish color, his limbs are abnormally long, and he has bulging yellow eyes with black irises (red in the anime); in the films, he is represented by CGI. He is voiced by Shidō Nakamura in the Japanese anime and live-action adaptations, while Brian Drummond voices him in the English dub.
Ryuk is characterized by his constant amusement by, and apathy in regards to, Light's problems as well as his interest in humans. He enjoys seeing Light overcome the various challenges put to him, and often waits until the worst possible moment to inform him of a certain aspect of the Death Note just to get a laugh. He is occasionally helpful if it serves his own interests, such as obtaining apples or furthering his own amusement, but for the most part will jokingly ask Light what his next move will be or have Light explain to him the point of a certain action. He tells Light in the first volume he does not look at what Light writes always because he finds it more amusing. The sfist describes Ryuk as a "crazy-looking, supernatural creature with these wicked eyes" who becomes ("surprisingly") a "moral compass" for Light in the film version of Death Note.[8]
Ryuk has a great fondness for apples, comparing them to cigarettes and alcohol for Shinigami (Shinigami apples are withered and taste like sand, as he shows Misa at one point, it even turns into sand after it is dropped in the human world), and will go through a type of withdrawal if he goes for too long without eating them. His withdrawal symptoms involve twisting himself up like a pretzel and doing handstands. He also states that he is shy around girls, when Misa hugs him he becomes intangible. In addition to apples, Ryuk is fond of video games, first shown in the omake eight-panel comic series, where he asks for a Silver Game Boy Advance SP, originally published in Weekly Shonen Jump Volume 4-5 (double issue) in 2005. On another occasion, Ryuk asks Light if he wants to play Mario Golf (changed to "video games" in the anime), but receives no answer since Light's bedroom is bugged with cameras.[9]
As Ryuk explains when he first meets Light, he is bound to take Light's life when his time comes. In the manga, Ryuk does this after Light is shot several times by Matsuda. He desperately begs Ryuk to write the names of the investigation team and the SPK members in the Death Note, which he first implies he will do, but Ryuk, reminding Light that he is not on anyone's side, just writes Light's name instead. He was expecting Light might have thought of some way out of his situation, but seeing as he was desperate enough to go to Ryuk for help, he decided it was all over for him. Ryuk returns to the Shinigami realm.[10]
In the anime, Light does not ask for Ryuk's help and manages to escape the warehouse thanks to Mikami's suicide distracting everyone else. However, his wounds are too severe for him to escape very far, and Ryuk, who is watching him from atop a pole, decides that following Light around during a prison sentence is not worth his time and thus writes Light's name in his Death Note, remarking that he had a lot of fun with him regardless. Light dies peacefully, with an apparition of L standing over him - mirroring Light standing over L on his death.
The second film ends in much the same manner as the manga, except Ryuk's silence leads Light to believe that he is willing to help. When Light learns differently, Light yells at Ryuk and jumps through him, trying in vain to stop his death before dying in his father's arms; before this, Ryuk takes this opportunity to reveal to Light that humans who have used the Death Note are unable to enter either Heaven or Hell regardless of their actions in life. In the spin-off L: Change the WorLd Ryuk offers L the Death Note, but when L refuses and proceeds to burn it, Ryuk moans about L being boring and disappears, returning to the Shinigami realm.
Tsugumi Ohba, story writer of Death Note, said that Ryuk is his favorite Shinigami and that "If I didn't say Ryuk here, his whole character would be in vain. [laughs][11][/release]
There could be something, I think this can be a new ARG.
What in the fuck does that have to do with anything in this thread.
[QUOTE=MacD11;30485653]you bet, im pretty sure hes going to go full force and ban him from ANYTHING valve related.[/QUOTE]
or he's going to be cool about it and realise people make mistakes like this, just as whoever saw his resume made the mistake of leaking the info without permission

Or it could simply be that they are a fan of the series and chose that name because they are a fan.
Didn't pretty much everyone know that it was going to be Half-Life 3 and not Episode 3?

Err... this has nothing to do with Half-Life, never mind the thread.
I hope you can customize weapons with sights, silencers and all that. Also I hope we get to play in America more because I'm tired of playing in some random place no-one knows and nearly everyone is American so they want to play in America.
They should add cool stuff like AC-130 and nukes too so it would be cooler, and a better multiplayer with unlocks and killstreaks.

Or, more likely, the guy who posted was a fan of death note and picked his user name after Ryuk from death note.

We get it, Modern Warfare 2, shit and all that, it stopped being funny a long time ago.
Good news in my opinion
Half-life 3, or a greatly improved new version of Source, it is a good investment for Valve. So I hope they are doing it.
They'll probably stop making it now that the cat's out of the bag.
Better be some new weapons.
Still sticking to their shitty engine. Cant wait for this lowbudget game.

shitty engine with lowbudget graphics.
You know there's more to a game's graphics than how high resolution the textures are... if Gears of War 3 has the 'better' engine, it sure as fuck doesn't demonstrate that by showing brown and grey grit all the time from the same warzones and battlegrounds you see throughout the entire drab game. At least portal 2, even if it isn't as technically impressive, has some actual, y'know [b]COLOUR[/b] and an art style and sense of scale that is genuinely impressive most of the time. Portal 2, despite being a "shitty lowbudget engine" had more moments that made me gasp at the graphics than i've ever gotten from playing through gears of war 1 or gears of war 2 combined.
In other words aesthetics.
It's what makes game good.
[QUOTE=Bat-shit;30494197]In other words aesthetics.

But there has to be the right balance of performance as well (which imo source does have), there's no point having a game that looks amazing but only 4 people can play it.

On another note there is also more to a game than graphics which most people don't seem to realize in most occasions sadly

Valve said themselves that it's fake. And it was obvious that the whole story is bullshit from the very beginning. Why are you people so easy to troll, any mention of Episode Three, and everybody falls for the trolling immediately. Valve probably made everyone on the team, including Mike Dussault sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement, which would most likely be active, even after he left the team, if he would actually leak some info, he would get sued.

A good game should have both great graphics and great gameplay, and all Valve games do.
It's a bit obvious the Hl3 is in production, after we discovered that valve scrapped the episodic model, one could only assume they spent time making Ep3, then decided to scrap it and start Hl3 from scratch.
Oh god if I see a screenshot, all kinds of bodily fluids would start flowing...

You also don't put game/product/whatever that was not released on your resume.

Source itself can handle extremely hires images, cinematic mod proves that...
Oh god please let this be true.
