I've learned that Gabe is a guy full of shit. Promised HL3 for years, and never delivered.

Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Half-Life is pretty bland and boring

I'd rather them make a Left 4 Dead 3 or Portal 3.

It still sucks that it ends on a cliff-hanger that'll never be solved. Also when was the last time they made a SP player? 2012?

Edit: Actually 2011. Thought Portal 2 released in 2012.

So no one asked why they made Steam into gaming's garbage dump?

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Portal 2 was so good that I don't know if I want a Portal 3.

I don't see Valve putting out a game anytime soon, they are pretty much banking on esports and Steam.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
