Well, they don't actually give a shit, if they did give a shit, we'd have Episode 3 insted of Portal 2, and Gabe Newall, voicing a previously female role, that is just scary. Also, it's the Valve Fanboys obession with him, its just a tad creepy, like all the ZP fanboys/girls who see Croshaw as some new messiah.xxcloud417xx said:
Indeed. At the GDC, he seemed to have difficulties speaking.
I don't necessarily agree with your assessment that they don't give a shit (though I do agree that they favor the PC community, but hey at least we have 1 dev on our side unlike the others that fucked PC gamers over: "Yeah you Infinity Ward!"). We can't assume that they don't care simply because they are releasing another game first. Not only that, if you payed attention to Episode 2 and Portal you would notice that they take place in the same saga. Which brings me to my point: we can't assume that Valve doesn't give a shit until Portal 2 is released because for all we know it's a required part of the story to set the stage for Half-Life 2 Episode 3. I believe the story is already planned out for the Half-Life Universe, so this is possibly just part of the original plan to tell a great story...GreatVladmir said:
I do see your point, it could be integral for the story of Ep3 that we play Portal 2 first, which means, they are doing the right move but we have been waiting for soo long now, I can use my Half-Life blue balls as a mode of transport (guess the reference, win a cookie) maybe thats why I'm sorta going through alil Anti-Valve stage in my brain, I feel they dun't care about us like, and don't kid yourself, there WILL be a sew-saw puzzle, it wouldn't be Half-Life 2 without it, just a stardard FPS with a brilliant story, amazing graphics, amazingly well-rounded characters, an awesome physics engine, the ability to suck you in like the worlds most gorgeous womens snatch and good mod support, but not HL2.xxcloud417xx said:
Very technically, either is correct. Seperating the letters with periods explictly marks the word as an acronym. In some cases, the acronym itself becomes better known than the collection of words that were used in it's formation, such as LASER (Light Amplification through the Stimulated Emission of Radiation), or SCUBA (Self Contained Underwater Breathing Aparatus) or even RADAR (RAdio Detection And Ranging). The same is true with shorter acronyms such as AI, TV, VCR, ATM and so forth.Theo Samaritan said:

I will point out, like many before me likely have, TF2 Xbox 360 support is not Valve's fault. They are a PC developer, and 360 ports are easy enough they agreed to do them. The problem is TF2 is ram intensive, something the 360 lacks. They've spent far more time trying to resolve the issues for the 360 than they should have, especially when the 360 TF2 community is almost non-existant anymore.Demon ID said:
