Was video recording not allowed in this keynote? I've been dying to actually watch this, since it was announced.
Every other D.I.C.E. talk has been recorded and uploaded online, but not this which is the one everyone talks about.
Others have said it before, but I believe that Valve time or Lambda Generation reported that in this episode Gordon wasn't the player character but instead it was Alyx, Father Grigori, or Barney.

Blizzard and 3D Realms are known to get hostile when confronted with their delays.
