I'm just putting all these HL speculation things I read about into the thread. I think it's interesting that suddenly Valve are referencing HL constantly when they usually try and pretend it doesn't exist.

That went places didn't it?
video game hype is just exhausting
Well this is different to that, because of all this stuff that has been going on.Doctor Strangelove wrote:

Like the t-shirt, and these things:

http://lambdageneration.com/posts/infor … ife-hints/
And because that up there is extracting things from a drawing and what's happening just now is obvious half life references.

Valve have done even more sophisticated, subtle things.
Just think about the Valve Potato ARG last year, where they put a morse code into a compressed image.
The morse code contained a telephone number, which, when using a dial-up modem, brought you to an Aperture Science terminal, where you needed to use a login/password from another hidden hint.
Who the heck used dial-up in 2010 anyway?
So, such obvious hints at HL2:Ep3/HL3 look pretty trivial and straightforward.
Yeah, but that was obvious that shit was going on from day one. This is just random ass shit, where people are forcing a pattern onto these images.globefish23 wrote:

Episode 3 concept art from 2008.
Hmm...
If you go to the Left 4 Dead blog site there's a post about the Mann vs. Machine update. There's a link at the bottom that when clicked goes to the TF2 blog. However if you copy-paste the link it takes you to a Steam Community page with someone called Chase playing 'Half Life 3: Indev'.
Why?

From the steam forums:
tl;dr version:The Steam profile is fake, you can tell by the URL. But why would a Valve developer put teamf6rtress.com/mvm, knowing that it redirects to that fake profile?
That guys real profile is here: http://steamcommunity.com/id/mcmanning/
The who.is for...
Sybolt.com
Teamf6rtress.com
Neither owned by Valve.
/Edit: Blog typo. This guy capitalized on the opportunity to exploit the typo. He registered the domain teamf6rtress.com today, and had it redirect to that fake Steam profile page. He says that he's a software developer, so he's trying to spread his name through rumors and trolling.
This is not connected to Valve whatsoever.
Pity. Would be awesome if they really were starting to release Ep3/HL3 info.So the blog post was made by someone at Valve, they made a typo, this guy picked up on it real fast and created the fake profile with HL3 indev to mess with people? That's some dedication.
Makes sense. Hope he enjoyed his 15 minutes.
