[QUOTE=Character;37242243]personally I think you should try and fit the word overrated into your post just a bit more, it's not hipster-ish enough.[/QUOTE] the keyboard looks over rated and retarded because it looks like it was over designed as hell. I'd rather have something really simple and not all 1337 t4ctic00l with an adjustable cup holder. and what does "Hipsterish" have to do with anything? Sounds like a thrown word. What? I'm saying it looks like shit because I want to sound cool? No, I'm saying it sounds like shit because it looks like shit.
[QUOTE=J!NX;37242137]looks over rated and retarded as fuck, just like their mouse did. I wish my g510 had a detachable macro pad though, still wired into the keyboard however. That plus, the customization sounds overrated, I can just see myself figiting with it constantly. Would get annoying. Aside from that, the 3 is clearly yet another thing to mess with people.[/QUOTE] Valve knows dropping hints like that with no news ready to be released is a big fucking mistake. It'll just anger the fanbase even more. Now if it's the actual creators of the hardware throwing it in to fuck with people then I wouldn't be too surprised.

Which is why it's silly when people jump at everything. It'll come when it comes, not by some vague sign from heaven.
Watch is be a joke some Gamescon editor did.
Has anyone seen this? UPDATE: Games site Eurogamer says it has been told the inclusion of Half Life 3 on the list is a 'mistake', though when asked no explanation was given. There has been no announcement from Valve, EA or Gamescom. Or am i just ultra-late?
[QUOTE=Zee Captain;37228551]I actually believe that it is time. I never felt this way but I can feel it. Lets have a bet.

[QUOTE=ZestyLemons;37243422]Where the fuck is the orange? This doesn't have enough orange.[/QUOTE] Well if we're traveling to the Arctic (or wherever the hell it is) to locate the Borealis, then this artwork would make sense.
[QUOTE=Forumaster;37243439]Well if we're traveling to the Arctic (or wherever the hell it is) to locate the Borealis, then this artwork would make sense.[/QUOTE] That's why there's two screenshots of White Forest on the backside of the cover, right?
[B]"Update: Looks like this was yet another false Half-Life-related alarm. Valve told IGN that it will show no games at Gamescom 2012."[/B] Well, guess they must have some real asshats at Gamescom who wanted to fuck with everyone.

[QUOTE=Scot;37242084]Exactly, it looks better. Valve are not known for their box art.[/QUOTE] Why are people rating this disagree? [img]http://i.imgur.com/Ykii2.jpg[/img] Valve has done some pretty shit box art.

Time to cry myself to sleep again.
Who would even find this funny? Hurr you fooled us again, its not getting old or anything.
[QUOTE=milkandcooki;37244294]Why are people rating this disagree? [img]http://i.imgur.com/Ykii2.jpg[/img] Valve has done some pretty shit box art.[/QUOTE] It may not be real pretty, but it's not the worst box art ever. The front of it is at least nice.
[QUOTE=Meatpuppet;37244313]opinions[/QUOTE] From a design standpoint, the DoD:S boxart is garbage. Front cover is two soliders staring forward on a 2-color background with three somewhat visible soldiers of opposing factions. If I hadn't heard of this game before and didn't have the "valve es #1" bias in my mind, I would avoid this game. Not even the excerpt at the back does the game any justice. Here's an example of some cool box art. [img]http://game-insider.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Starhawk-BoxArt.png[/img] One can assume that the man in the center of the art is the protagonist. He his facing an overwhelming force, which consists of enemies many times his size and power. The amount of vehicles and the planet in the background shows the scale of the world and its battle. Here's more box art you most likely recognize. It doesn't have "story" like Starhawk, but it is visually appealing. [img]http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/9/2009/08/504x_borderlands_box_art.jpg[/img] Now, which one of these games would you pick up and say "Wow! That looks badass!"
Starhawk's box art is generic as fuck.

I'd definitely end up looking at it to try and figure out what it is.

If they do really release episode 3, I'm going to need to play episodes 1 and 2. I played HL 1 and 2, but not the episodes.
You know Dota 2 and CS:GO's betas are almost ready for release, that and MvM already tomorrow... all the respective developers will be pretty much complete with their main projects... I want to believe.
Wouldn't Half Life 3 be the first "3" game Valve has ever made?
