Hey, has anyone noticed that the Game Informer Portal 2 Hub hasn't updated at all today? It's nearly 6:30pm (in the USA) and we haven't gotten the post that was scheduled to be put up today yet. It's a bit weird personally, but I'm sure it'll happen, even if it's at 11:59pm.

I will wait until I've played it before I even start getting my hopes up. Considering my track record with Valve, I can't gaurantee that the lightning will strick twice, if you know what I mean.

That`s what a lot people said about TF2 due to it`s cartoonish graphics, but today it`s my favorite multiplayer shooter.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, would you kindly?

That's what a lot of people said about LFD2 due to it coming out only a year after the original, but today...oh wait...
Valve hasn't had many bad games as of yet. I can't think of any off the top of my head. LFD2 was still as good, if not better, than the original, so that one doesn't count.

So, anybody that watched the GDC awards know about the Gabe Newell Blue Screen of Death. At first it looked like a normal BSOD, but then people zoomed in and found out that it was part of the Portal ARG (Alternate Reality Game). I'm just reposting what I typed in the "Watch The GDC 2010 Live" thread.

This is the BSOD from the GDC awards!

And here's what the upper case letters/numbers mean in Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code:

SUSPEND UNTIL EEE

This presumably means that we won't get any videos of Portal 2 until E3. DARN YOU VALVE!!! WHEN WILL YOU STOP KILLING ME?!?!

EDIT: After seeing the "E2" in the first part of the error message, it's also possible that it could be sometime else. While I highly doubt it, it's still a possibility.

Valve declares Portal 2 their best game ever!

Gabe_Newell wrote:

Oh Portal 2's great. It's the best game we've ever done.

Of course, he probably only said that because he wanted everybody to be hyped. But still, this is Valve we're talking about, so it's most likely to be great if Gabe Newell says it's their best game yet.

Hmm. Half life 2 IMO was their best game, but then again, Gabe Newell said it, so.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, would you kindly?

It hath been translated...! It says we have to wait until EEE (E3)
Anyhow, I found something interesting. http://gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2010/03/08/narbacu...

EDIT: Actual translation is: "Suspend until EEE."

That's why I mentioned my track record with them. Outside of Portal, I honestly can't say I've enjoyed any of Valves games. And it's really annoying, too, since most of their games should appeal to me, but for one reason or another, I hate them. Portal's the only one that did almost everything right(it was too short, but I can forgive it), so I'm hoping Valve doesn't screw this one up.

Did you not enjoy them? What games did you play?

My hype would go there, but I got banned for apparently "promoting piracy". I made a sexual reference involving piracy, a good one too if I don't say so myself. It was also fairly obvious, but whatever. I just lurk now.

...a sexual joke about piracy? How do you even do that?!

I know! I was quite impressed with myself
