When Valve announced that they werepulling theirPortal 2event from E3, promising that a “surprise” would be there in its place, the Internet did what the Internet does: It immediately went ablaze with speculation thatHalf-Life 2: Episode 3actually exists in a demonstrable capacity suited for public display and would be present at the big show next week.
Seriously, the only thing the Internet is good for is guessing when the nextHalf-Lifegame is coming. Note that I said, “good for,” and not, “good at.”

In a succinct e-mail, Gabe Newell has confirmed that the “surprise” is notHalf-Life 2: Episode 3. So, there it is, Internet. Wrong again. You’re just going to have to go back to your second love of pornography to mend your bruised ego.
