Interesting…Marc Laidlaw tweeted about it on May 14, and it started tweeting again on May 15. Whatever the case, he evidently knew it would start tweeting.
ZOMG PLZ BE HL2EP3/HL3. I want to belieeeeve…
Kairouseki, that page seems to be 404 now.
But really though, HL3 has to be coming. I only hope that Valve keeps up their tradition of supporting a wide variety of systems.
Edit: ninja page and also that twitter account is intriguing.
Edit 2: That twitter account really reminds me of MINERVA, and Adam Foster has made most of Valve’s ARGs so far… I’m getting excited.
Judging by the way the card is designed, it’s position in the lineup and the trajectory of the moon and the stars, it seems like Valve is hinting at a release date set for 2034.
Yeah well, the Twitter feed should be of much more interest to us I think.
BreenGrub could be translated into “Breen (is a) Grub” - Advisors are grub-like creatures. The notice of term “Shu’ulathoi” which means Advisor in Vortigese is also something.
And the avatar is an unused Advisor texture.
Plus you said it’s Marc Laidlaw’s?
In other words, this might be well be an ARG or something about HL3, which will apparently include the Combine homeworld and Breen’s reappearance in some non-human form.
Maybe we’ll get to defeat the Combine on their own territory.
surely Valve wouldn’t start hyping this early. The consoles launch on christmas.
Well… maybe they’ll keep silent for a month now, then put out very small amount of info again… and so on… It could be. IF it really is Laidlaw’s Twitter, then he’s either trolling us, or Valve spent the last 6 years working on HL3 in silence.
It’s sad that after so many years, a few tweets from something not quite even HL related can make my pants tight again. Like that HL3 shirt that came out over a year ago. WHERE IS MY HL3 AND SOURCE 2!!!
Eh, it’s still a pretty neat account.
Oh well.
He should know by now that anything HL related is going to stir stuff up.
He could probably make a small fortune by publishing HL short stories, in fact.
And he is ultimately the one who could make them without contradicting any part of the lore.
Hell, I’d buy those short stories.
BreenGrub tweeted some more today, FYI.
I can totally hear Robert Culp’s voice as I read those lines.
Fuuuck, that’s a lot of information on the Shu’ulathoi.
I want Episode Three so goddamn bad, reading this. And it’s my birthday, so ANNOUNCE EPISODE THREE DAMMIT!!!
