Rumour: Half Life: Episode 3 to be revealed at E3?
When Gabe Newell walked into the stage last night at the GDC Awards, he being his usual self left the audience guessing by showing a rigged and fake BSOD(Blue Screen of Death) error as his last presentation slide. While being the head of Valve, it was not a random joke that Gabe decided to pull off and that error screen actually contained a cryptic message hidden in it.
GLaDOS

This means that Valve is going to reveal a lot more about Portal 2 at the upcoming E3 event but that is not all. Since Portal 2 has already been announced, that would not make for much of news, would it? Also notice the three Es in there? Yea, that definitely means E3 but it can also mean Episode 3! Which means there is a huge possibility that Gabe and Valve’s going to announce the ever elusive Half Life: Episode 3 in the upcoming E3 event to be held in June.
If that is the case, we don’t mind Valve being such a tease but it better not result in just new info about Portal 2 or we won’t take this in the right spirit. It’s high time we got to play the final Episode as Mr.Freeman, there are a lot of questions which are yet to have answers ![]()
