Agreed. Sadly, I like the roboticized voices, but it makes it difficult to establish a clear contrast between roboticized foe and friendly ally. This is compounded by the fact that Wheatley's comedy doesn't seem to be the verbal with that we see in GLaDOS, but rather what Fowler would probably...

This is the best theory I've heard on these forums in a long time. And yes, I mean it.

I'm pretty sure I know what's going to happen. Valve will release Ep3 with Portal 2. Either that or they won't. Another option would be for Valve to do something that would make both of those statements false. It doesn't make much sense to me for Valve to build up hype for Portal 2...

I see the distinction there. What is the difference in the final outcome? Either way, Gabe gets video interviews by a bunch of games press people about the game that might otherwise simply ask him for an e-mail interview. People who are interested in some other aspect of GDC check out the...

Well, that's what ``distinction without a difference'' means. You're entitled to your opinion that there is some real difference there, but I surely can't figure out what that difference is.

Two business days, like I said before.

When did Valve announce Portal 2? Last I checked, until two days ago, they hadn't officially stated that ``more Portal is on the way'' would mean a full sequel. Beyond that, like I edited my post, the game mags are expecting Valve to announce Steam for Mac at the GDC.

Saying that ``They announced it two days before the GDC'' is not ``They announced it at the GDC'' is a distinction without a difference. Also, they are expected to announce Steam for Macintosh at the GDC.

Portal 2. Or are you going to try to claim that the announcement of Portal 2 two business days prior to the GDC is just a coincidence?

I think people talk about Valve announcing games there because Valve is announcing a game there.

And so they can announce Portal 2. Which, last I checked, they did the Friday before GDC. I seriously doubt they're going to release Ep3 this year. If Portal 2 will be any good, it's probably going to be a technical challenge, and releasing both Ep3 and Portal 2 this year would be difficult...

Well, I was wrong about Portal 2 not being released this year But I was right that they'd be announcing something at GDC.

I would take this opportunity to note that the comic which you say explains the logical discrepancy so well was posted by a newbie. So you are correct, the newbie-ness does not seem to be the flaw per se.

Pattern? There are two data points!

I don't work in the games industry, but I do know that the next (Source-based) Postal game is supposed to run on Linux. That could explain some of the delay.

Every time I see this thread, I want to ask OP one thing.

I think the best way to deal with a question like this being asked to no end is to make a thread about everything we know about Half Life Episode 3 so far, and sticky it so that it's the first thread in the forum. It might also help to tell people that they should read it. Maybe prepend the...

Can he act, though? He's only acted in two films, one of which was "TP Factory Rapper" in the Sesame Street direct-to-video movie Elmo's Potty Time.

Whatever you're on, man, save some for me. (Yes, I know that wasn't really Hal Holbrook)

No! Kleiner is the straight man, and you'd be stifling Lloyd in a role like that. He'd be better playing someone similar to his role in Taxi, maybe like Cave Johnson. Kleiner would be great for someone like Philip Seymour Hoffman, or (in the less mainstream set) Trace Beaulieu or MC...
