So yeah, one day after getting your hopes up with rumors of Half-Life 3 and Source Engine 2, we’re back to rain on your parade and kick your puppy. First up, Portal 2’s pointed its titular gun at the far reaches of 2011.
“Aperture Science, doing business as Aperture Laboratories LLC, in partnership with Valve today announced the successful completion of an ethics-review-panel-supervised release date restructuring process. Portal 2, the sequel to the ground-breaking title that earned over 30 Game of the Year awards despite missing its original ship date, is now targeted for a 2011 release,” read an email from Valve.
But who cares? Half-Life 3, right? Wrong. Completely wrong, as it turns out.
“To ask questions about how close we all came to dying, or to ask futile questions about the previously announced E3 ***PORTAL-2-THEMED-FOR-GOD'S SAKE*** surprise or, less futilely, to schedule an appointment to attend a Portal 2 screening at the Valve booth during E3, please contact Valve's delegate to the EU's Valve Time Studies Group, Doug Lombardi,” the email concluded.
So there you have it. E3 is Portal 2’s party. Maybe Half-Life will get a chance to hog the spotlight next century year. Perhaps just in time for the Orange Box 2, if those wishes we've been wasting for the past couple years when blowing out our birthday candles finally come true. We can dream, can’t we?

"And we're out of beta. We're releasing on time.... Maybe you'll find someone else to help you. Maybe Black Mesa. THAT WAS A JOKE. HAHA. FAT CHANCE."

I'll wait, and wait, because if it's that good I don’t want to rush any of the
pleasure I'll receive while playing this stellar game, we need more different
titles like and more advanced titles like Portal, hell this is what's keeping
PC gaming alive, now what else will valve release? this is the fps to beat
hands down I love id software but come on now how many damn ways can I see
blood and chunks?
relax ppl it will come and it will be almost like having another cherry popped.

SONOFABITCH.
Damn you, Valve. Way to get my hopes up. Although I guess I should also blame the speculators who started the rumor in the first place...
