Oh, and If I didn't already own Orange Box on PC, I'd probably buy the complete pack... Oh, and if I had any money I wasn't saving toward moving out...

I would scold you for forgetting the classic video, but I see it's already been posted. You're safe, sir.

And now I can't make it go away. Whoops. Oh well, we can enjoy it a second time!

Is Half-Life 2 Episode 3 yet? No? Maybe Half-Life 3 will come out before Episode 3.

Well, they did say to accept the Half-life 2 episodes together as Half-life 3, I believe.

Is it me or does the last summary make it look like Valve milks it's Half-life series for all it's worth?

What I think this is, as opposed to any kind of profit, is an attempt to strengthen the online community of these games so the people that play them now will have a constant influx of new players instead of a game perhaps fading away.

They are talking about giving away your duplicate copies (if you buy a game, then it comes out in a package that you buy also). It only works on the games he mentioned

Nice! I already have pretty much all of these games, but I just might have to grab Half-Life: Source!

I've wanted to see what it was like for a long time now, but 10$ seemed like wasted money since all it does is add source engine physics.

Also, I already have the original, and I paid a the awesome price of 98 cents for it.
But with 66% off, seems like a reasonable price to just give it a look. I likely won't be replaying the whole game anyway.

Just got back from District 9 - Neil Blomkamp should direct a Half-Life film.

Yes?

In related news - I wonder if I should finally grab TF2 for PC. Have the Orange Box on 360 and the gold edition of HL2 for PC, so I already own a great deal of these. But, by all accounts (I've heard), the PC TF2 is really where the goods are at.

@(Zombie) The Forgetful Brain: If they did it District 9 style documentary, and did it on accounts of people who met Gordon showing some footage of him, and society around him I think it could come out great.

As long as he doesn't turn into Bad Pitt spewing out one liners, it could be good.

I JUST bought Half-Life: Source last weekend for $9.99. FML! Oh well, it's only $6.50.

I may have to pick up HL:2, Episode 1 and 2 on Steam though. I recently bought a 3D Rendering Rig which works amazingly well as a gaming rig (dual quad-core processors, 6GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro FX 1800, 1920x1200 Display) and I like it more than the Orange Box on my 360, mainly because of the mouse and keyboard controls.

I don't own nor have played a single Valve game.

I wonder sometimes if I'm missing something, but then I realize not a single one of those games is from a genre I enjoy.

@nantukoprime: I remember enjoying the original Half Life back in the day, but I've never really been into the genre.

But Valve should do what Valve does. For example, if I want an off-road vehicle I'm not gonna lament that Lamborghini doesn't offer one. :)

I would imagine their intense focus is part of what makes them great.
