At this point, I'm operating under the assumption that Valve doesn't really want to make HL3. They are much freer to pick and choose projects (or to break into individual cells and work on separate projects) than most developers are, so they really aren't under the same pressure to deliver sequels like clockwork.…

In response, Mr. Newell chuckled, unhinged his lower jaw, and proceeded to devour Mr. Abrams headfirst. Thus sated, Mr. Newell then retreated to his cave, daring other fools to challenge him.

Ehh. How about a full-length animated movie based off of Team Fortress 2? I know I'd pay $15 to see Team Fortress 2: The Motion Picture: The Quest For Pyro's Gold in IMAX.

Say it a lot! Hoo-hah!

Us. Watching a man be speared with a trident or a bear get axed open is cruel, but it's an honest cruelty. It knows what it is, and so does the audience. This show is the sort of evil people can endorse and still sleep the sleep of the just the night after. Like firing missiles at a village instead of sending…

D'aw, for a minute there I thought that someone had started doing a real-life version of Cardassian enigma tales, and I was all needlessly excited.

A few of those, quite by coincidence, honestly, eventually found…

@avclub-eaaf6236c28c668e40fdf9b17394b7ec:disqus, have a fun fact I heard from one of the developers. Part of the reason the story of the second game is a mess is because when the game was about 3/5ths completed about half of the staff jumped ship for Blizzard. There was a final boss battle planned with a giant mass of…

If you changed the language around, this sounds like the sort of thing you could imagine factory owners doing to get their workforces to accept the dictates of the assembly line, rigid timetables, repetitive labor, and the like.

There one book out there that's sort of about that. It's called Babylon, it's by Richard Calder, and it's nearly impossible to find.

I always thought he was a giant animate Ken doll.
