I really shouldn't be laughing at this in Starbucks...

I hope at least one of these is a new version of source. I do 3D art and as much as I loved the editor when it was released, it is getting vastly underpowered compared to UDK and CryEngine.

[citation][nom]ben BOys[/nom]1. Ep32. new source engine3. that new game they just got the patent forthose are my guesses[/citation]
That sounds actually pretty spot on to what I was thinking....Or the 3rd spot could be HL3?! But then again, that'd be pretty close to Ep3. Hmm, the possibilities are endless. I walk the path that Valve leads. Viva la PC! *Hug Valve* (Tries to get arms around Gabe, but very difficult....might need my Stretch-Armstrong).

I will certainly not be shocked to find that they are still not releasing Episode 3. On the other hand, episodes 1 and 2 underwent a lot of playtesting, and the result was very good, so with any luck they are making a decently long game but still aiming to keep the quality up. If that were the case I'd still be angry that they are taking so long, but I would forgive them after finishing the episode.
