Technology and Gaming
#81

Episode 3 or Portal announcement, or both

Also maybe a completely new project from Valve

edit: what the… where did you find this?

#82

We totally didn’t figure that one out.

#83

Alright, I just noticed the new portal update, after a few moments of wtf I found out about the new achievement and I’m kinda confused now, plz tell if I got it all wrong or not O_o

from the reddit page:

so, this information from the morse code led to a BBS Server that acts as a GlaDOS Terminal? And all the images and information come from some people who managed to log in there somehow?

#84

Yes.

#85

Valve are fucking geniuses. In 1998 they changed the history of gaming, I love them. In 2009, with the release of Left 4 Dead 2, they disapointed me, very much. I just hope these fucking coded messages are a release date for HL2:EP3 and not Left 4 Dead 3 or another shit. Otherwise, I’ll hit Gabe with a fucking crowbar.

#86

Chet Faliszek said in an interview, that there will be no Left 4 Dead 3 2010 and 2011.

Hope its Portal 2 or Episode 3 :slight_smile:

that thing that acristoff posted from dead cjohnson is near proof that he’s turned into a new GLaDoS AI.

#88

^ fucking awesome

That just made me think, I will stop buying valve’s games if they merge the l4d franchise with portal or HL. How fucked up would that be?

#89

Is it just me, or has VALVe added new music to Portal?
It seems like every time i find a radio and receive the transmission, a song begins and it is not coming from the radio.

EDIT: There is another song starting when you get the orange portalgun as well

#90

I downloaded the update yesterday however I didn’t really pay attention to it.
Just spotted this thread about five minutes ago and loaded Portal to see what all the fuss is about.
I have nothing. No radio’s no transmissions and unlike the youtube videos my radio at the beginning has no red light. (Or any light at all.)
Any ideas what the problem is as I would like to discover this mystery for myself…

#91

^ Manually check for updates (right click on the game).

#92

I only see “View update news”…

#93

Are you sure you haven’t accidently disabled something? Not sure what but it’s worth asking. :slight_smile:

#94

Such as?
Edit: I just realised that I have not completed Portal on this Steam account and am now flying through the game to see if that works…

#95

VALVe bought BM, just watch you know it’s true.

#96

I’m pretty sure the portal world is about to collide with the half-life world in portal 2.

#97

That actually entered my head but I dismissed it because its unlikely…

Edit: Just completed Portal on this account, then reloaded the game and now it works!

#98

Just as unlikely as a resonance cascade amirite?

#99

whats that got to do with the portal hype?

#100

Yeah sorry I forgot about that, I read on some website (Kotaku.com I think) that the game has to have been completed once before to load the radios.
