So, apparently, this guy I know heard from a friend who heard from a cousin who heard from an ex who heard from a talking dog who heard from somebody else who heard from this person who works at Valve that Half-Life 3.

Or something like that, it was a bit vague. Is it true?! Nah.

Since a photo of a Valve employee wearing a Half-Life 3 T-shirt turned up on the intertubes a few weeks back, gamers have been finding secret messages and revelations about the game everywhere. Unfortunately, it’s all just wishful thinking and trolls.

Valve’s Chet Faliszek has officially denied any and all rumours of the game over on the Steam forums:

You are being trolled.

There is no ARG.

Wheatley’s speech was set in Portal 2 fiction – that is all.

There has been no directive from Gabe to leak anything. That is all false.

I just want to say this so there is no confusion. This is the community trolling the community nothing more. While it is nice to see people excited about anything HL, I hate seeing people be trolled like this.

Thanks

So that’s that. Although, they would say that, wouldn’t they? I mean, that’s just part of the elaborate marketing. And look at this:

If you rearrange the red letters and the dash (a; i; h; l; f; -; l; f; e) it spells Half-Life. And wait, there are 73 words in the message. That’s a prime number, and so is the number 3! OH. EM. GEE. I think we’re onto something here, guys. I bet if we can decode the whole message, we’ll find the game’s source code.
