Then again, maybe it’s a clan thing with custom emblems.

Nothing to see here, move along. Move along.

ahh but hover your mouse above the image and read the caption.

Why does Valve love to troll us?

Because people waiting for Half-Life 3 are the easiest troll bait ever.

You don’t even have to do anything. In fact, the less you do, the more they’ll troll themselves.

Community trolling the community my ass.

LambdaLambdaLambda.
Clear example of Valve trolling us with HL3 indeed.

IMHO, their trolling stopped being funny since they themselves realized that the episodic system failed.
Or maybe it’s just me… :slight_smile:

That doesn’t take away from the fact that Half Life 3 will be awesome and Valve is still one of the most awesome developers out there.

or maybe op is just a sad twat

It’s hilarious how people see HL3 in everything Valve does.

Gabe is seen in a supermarket wearing a pair of Adidas sneakers = Vale trolling us

Some female Valve worker is pregnant of triplets = Valve trolling us

Doug is diagnosed with cancer and has 3 months to live = Valve trolling us

You people are fairly sad, really.

Welcome to the die hard fan community.

I chuckled when I read “Possible” in the title and then saw the actual evidence. Well DUUUH it’s a reference.

Completely unrelated IPs but putting them together. Honestly it isn’t often any studio does things like this. Valve does it to be a bunch of assholes.

I don’t think its a hint or something towards HL3 or valve trolling us. Valve is just being a bunch of pricks. “Hey you guys want to hear about your favorite game series? Well we aren’t going to talk about it for legitimate reasons”. I can dig that, but then shit like this is just saying “Hey fuck you”.

Perhaps, but in THIS case, do you honestly think they named that screenshot LambdaLambdaLambda by accident??
Also, what SURPLUS_NiNjA said.

It was obviously meant to be a Revenge of The Nerds reference.

Sometimes I wonder what would happen if an obsessed Half-Life fan actually went to Greece.

There’d be a lambda overload.

User: “Hey, let me point out that some people look for things that aren’t there.”

30 Following Users: “Let me point that out, too. Wait, why stop there? Let’s make hundreds of jokes that aren’t funny about the topic.”

Oops – thinking out loud.

Yes Certainly

Half-Life is Valve’s franchise. Half-Life made Valve big. Obviously they’re going to put Half-Life references in everything they do.

Also, I count lambda 4 times (3x symbol, once as a word)

OH MY FUCKING GOD VALVE IS SKIPPING EPISODE 3 OR HL3 AND ARE JUMPING STRAIGHT TO HL4!!!

Duh, you guys always get your hopes high at every little possible HL reference, and then you get shitmad at Valve when nothing happens.

You should start not believing in everything, since Valve said that they will do it on their own way, to announce the next HL game and I have a feel that it will be different to the previous announcements.

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
