So, in the midst of all of this VGA-related mayhem, some people have managed to… well, troll a certain number of people. As if that wasn’t enough, another, completely unrelated number of people is now convinced that the VGA 2011 Wheatley Character of the Year nomination short somehow contains Half-Life 3 ARG clues. The bad thing is these groups appear to have combined, and we now have a tremendous number of people who believe Valve is about to announce Half-Life 3.
Now, we’re not going to be touching on the “ARG”. As silly as it may seem, maybe it’ll develop… somehow, and we’ll actually see something concrete. We’ll just give the hard-working ARG folks the benefit of a doubt for now, rather than rain on their parade for no reason. No, now I’m going go to town on all those other rumors. Rumors propagated by video game journalists who hardly have time to do a bit of research before they are forced to push an article out prematurely.
A number of reputable Steam Forum Members have e-mailed Mark Laidlaw on this and the reply was “The is No ARG”. The Thread so this can be put to bed. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2286612
Thanks for the tip! But I just finished writing our article on the very same subject.
The end reminds me of a bit from the Plinkett reviews. “There was this whole ordeal where the Soviets were sending missiles to Cuba and the Americans almost retaliated over it. Maybe you heard of it, it’s called WORLD WAR ONE? You guys need to learn your history…”
Ah, I love that one! Plinkett is awesome.
Apart of the mails (that i agree they doesnt make sense) you have to admit that the whole lanthanium thing its not too unreasonable.
We’ll see.
My parade!
