    I'm ok with waiting for both of them to release their games. At least they dont realease buggy messes, like so many developers these days. They take their time, iron out most/all problems, and release quality games.

    That being said, I wish they'd hurry the hell up.

    ?

    The latest news I have was Valve is learning Sign Language for some key character animations in the game. Other than that, I need links.

    Yep, she has become a pretty central character of the Half Life series now.

    Well as far as i know there's literally only two pieces of info released about episode3:
    - a piece of concept art
    - that sign language may feature, possibly involving a new character (though probably another ex Black Mesa employee)

    So any news will automatically trump those existing two nuggets :D

    As far as I am aware, that concept art isn't even official, in that, Valve did not produce it, it was a winning entry by some Joe Soap to some sort of competition a good while back. It is widely circulated though.
    I could be wrong wrong wrong here though.

    So actually, apart from the sign language, that's all the info that's available I think!!

    "I really dont have anything to say about Episode 3 right about now" [...] "Yes of course we are working on Episode 3"

    Gabe Newell officially confirms that he doesn't want to talk about Episode 3, beyond that they're working on it. Fvck's sake, what a waste of time.

    Some great Left 4 Dead 2 footage... but having been teased Episode 3 that was a big let down, these guys know how to attract viewers.

    I had to laugh when I watched that. Like I didn't see that coming. From what he said, I think we'll see Portal 2 before the next HL.

    I can't say I really care all that much. Whatever Valve decide to do next, it will be brilliant, as usual.

    Do we need a new counterstrike? Not being a WUM, I'm kinda curious; I haven't played it since 3rd year in college (oh GOD that's 7 years ago), but surely it's success was a simple game well-executed. I can't see what they could do beyond a graphical upgade - which it got, no?

    No there is no need for a new cs,but i daresay if a new one was released a lot of people would be parted from their money :pac: bug fixes and the like would be welcome for css as it stands.

    I expect Portal 2 and Episode 3 will be released in tandem.

    Btw, there was one bombshell worth noting from the video; Newell confirmed that they are working on a TF2 comic, and talked about TV shows as well. Colour me intrigued!
