[Lionel Mandrake]

Well, I'm alive again. The excitement has died considerably.

 

[BY2K]

So this is all for nothing? I'm already disappointed and I expected it . HL2E3 will never come out......

? It's not over.

 

[Spire]

... Which is DOTA

Which is awesome.

 

[BY2K]

Two of the 3 pictures perfectly fits together. The third one doesn't fit anywhere... yet.

EDIT: The filenames are anagrams of "REBOOT PROCESS".

Hmmm. Ep1 & Ep 2 fit together but Ep 3/ HL 3?

 

[BY2K]

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

What?!?!!!

 

[Sibylus]

Some sort of submersion pod or personality sphere, by the looks of it.

 

[QuantumBro]

 

[Slavik81]

This is amazing.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Well I guess this is definitely about Portal then. Oh well. At least the wait for that one is relatively short.

 

[Salsa]

EDIT: The filenames are anagrams of "REBOOT PROCESS".

i dont like the sound of that

 

[EmCeeGramr]

portal two

 

[Arozay]

Probably new Glados core or something/one similar

 

[Salsa]

portal two

old

 

[UltimaPooh]

Submarine for the Borealis? Dun, dun dun.

 

[Sibylus]

Curious about the numerical code running across the whole thing. There appears to be a lot of repeats.

 

[Hylian7]

oh god

ohgodohgodohgodohgohoghgdodfighggdfg

Not sleeping tonight, and I have an 8am class tomorrow. I MUST KNOW.

 

[Salsa]

awh yeah


edit: hahah holy shit UltimaPooh

 

[QuantumBro]

Probably new Glados core or something/one similar

Well the anagram has "core" in it with "rebootpss" left over.

 

[kai3345]

if this isnt episode 3 i think ill punch a kitten

 

[TheOGB]

holy shit what is this

 

[Jive Turkey]

if this isnt episode 3 i think ill punch a kitten

Bah. Where's kittonwy when we need him?

 

[UltimaPooh]

awh yeah


edit: hahah holy shit UltimaPooh

 

[BY2K]

I think those numbers might be ASCII.

 

[Hylian7]

I think those numbers might be ASCII.

That's been the case so far. By the time I pull up my ASCII chart and look them up someone will beat me to it though.

 

[BY2K]

 

[Hylian7]

The original image the new piece came from, sent from Gabe himself.

 

[TheOGB]

the suspense

THE SUSPENSE!

 

[BY2K]

The original image the new piece came from, sent from Gabe himself.

The original file's name is yet another anagram for REBOOT PROCESS.

XORing each number with 0xFF gives us ASCII character codes which seem to spell out a message:

+-----+-----+-----+
|i rel| | |
|ick 1| | |
|of sc| | |
|hat w| | |
|. my | | |
|2 ema| | |
|0meth| | |
|early| | |
|y're | | |
+-----+-----+-----+

[Brazil]

Edit: Guess I'm wrong.

 

[Blizzard]

It hasn't been for the last 2-3 years, right? And as someone pointed out, it seems unlikely they'd announce Episode 3 right before their big game, Portal 2, comes out...especially since they've been advertising it a lot.

 

[BY2K]

Looks similar.

 

[Zombie James]

Holy crap.... hype++.

 

[UltimaPooh]

My guess it's an ARG for Episode 3 that will be revealed in Portal 2.

Two of the 3 pictures perfectly fits together. The third one doesn't fit anywhere... yet.

Have people tried fitting them together Contact style yet?

 

[BY2K]

New image.

 

[civilstrife]

Where are these coming from?

 

[BY2K]

 

[The Technomancer]

Shit, these are coming fast. I was just about to go to bed too...

 

[sflufan]

It's a diving helmet!

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Edit: i'm not very clever.

 

[Spire]

Definitely looks like a submersible of some kind.

 

[sflufan]

No, not a diving helmet...a bathysphere!
