    New ValveTime Design: Let us know what you think!

    I would like to add for the news posting purposes I wish the titles of our articles stood out more than the beige colour (even if the font is larger). I find it difficult to lock my eye onto the really important headlines because they're not immediately obvious as you scroll down. When you hover...

    ANY news what so ever on Episode 3 / Half Life 3

    They were pretty committed to the episodic model at the time, but that was definitely abandoned. The commitment went so deep that Episode 4 was also in production with Arkane Studios: http://www.valvetime.net/threads/new-images-of-half-life-2-episode-4-return-to-ravenholm.243033/ (also scrapped...

    ANY news what so ever on Episode 3 / Half Life 3

    No episode 3, Half-life 3. As far as we know, it's not in active development but they will return to it. Source 2 & Rubikon in development as the main project right now, probably a new title to ship on that in the next 12-18 months? Who knows! HL3 info? The jira database leak showing the HL3...

    Steam region lock

    I used my Steam account for a couple months in Canada (originally UK registered account) and I had no problems. Like Vegeta said, I think this problem is pretty rare and mostly limited to specific games. Google around about specific titles and see what you find. I would say don't worry about...

    Source Mod: Overflow

    Ah that's it, thanks. We played HE Co-op a long time back pre-release, I guess I met you through Au-heppa

    Source Mod: Overflow

    Nice work on the mod, always good to play something new Half-lifey. I recognise your name from Podcast 17 days marnamai, what else did you work on?

    Counter-Strike Community Builds $250,000 Prize Pool for ESL One Cologne 2014

    I follow the Dota 2 competitive scene but I've yet to really invest in the CS:GO one. It's kind of embarrassing since I started my love affair with Valve through CS but I drifted away from it over the years. It makes me so happy to see it's still doing this today, and doing it so well (even if...

    ValveTime Logo Girl Question

    She insisted when we recorded it, that it be in terrible quality and sound nothing like Alyx. She's super mean like that. That's also the reason I refuse to play Legion Commander.

    you only liked half life 2 because you were supposed to

    I feel by mentioning HL1 a couple times later on in this thread we have derailed the discussion from looking at HL2 exclusively from today's perspective compared to how we felt when we first played it. Most of us here adored it (why else would we be here otherwise) but we're an ever increasing...

    Brainbread 2 (new project from the classic Brainbread 1)

    I used to play this HL1 mod for hours and hours. It was an over the top zombie hoard multiplayer shooter, with a huge a choice of weapons and not a great deal of gameplay to it. But hey...it was zombies when they were less ubiquitous. I have a distinct memory of playing a map in a shopping...

    UPDATED: The International 2014 Tournament Announced

    Well there you go, one hour. Obviously not that unaffordable!

    you only liked half life 2 because you were supposed to

    I didn't explicitly say that earlier, but yes I do think HL1 was better. You can disagree with me Nick, but you weren't there man. You don't know what it was like. I don't wear glasses by the way, but I may be wearing rose tinted contact lenses.

    Refugee from Gamespy's PlanetHalflife/fortress/quake boards intro

    Not a day goes by without someone sending me anthrax laced emails complaining of the name change from halflife2.net. But yes, welcome to this corner, I'm sorry your other usual haunts have thrown in the towel, these kind of websites play second fiddle to reddit and social media these days. For...

    you only liked half life 2 because you were supposed to

    I don't actually want a movie. What I said was I think Half-life 3 would make a better movie than a game given the way the linear story driven corridor shooter has gone. If Valve rolled out Half-life 3 on Source 2 (glitzy visuals n all), continuing the story where they left off, with all the...

    you only liked half life 2 because you were supposed to

    So much time has passed since Half-life 2, that when I see comments along the lines of "HL3 pls", I see responses along the lines of "half-life 2 looks shit" "what was so good about half-life" "who cares about this old game". I and many others here were around before Half-life 2, and it was a...

    UPDATED: The International 2014 Tournament Announced

    How much have tickets cost in previous years, can anyone remember? It's just that I saw a lot of people commenting on the prices saying they must be part of April fools. I imagine a good chunk goes into the prize pool & it's sold out every year (extremely quickly too). Supply and demand...

    So Facebook bought OculusVR.

    It's not the gaming aspect Zuckerberg will be looking at. It will be integrating VR into social media with a healthy dose of advertising intergration as well. That's not to say Oculus would ditch their gaming side, the company presumably will remain an independent entity like some of...

    Half-Life 3 Referenced in Source Filmmaker Render Code

    I actually said to Nick I didn't think this news worthy back 2 weeks ago, since people over hype half life 3 references, I often prefer us to not mention the really minor insignificant stuff. But hey it's been posted today, been a quiet'ish news week I guess and Nick has done a good job in...

    In case anyone thought that I was dead (and cared)

    Great to hear from you again numbers, looks like you've done wonderfully well at something which takes really hard graft. Makes me really happy to see you've achieved all that, thanks for sharing & the pics! Be interested to know more from the firearms side too, I work in ballistics analysis...
