Valve might be announcing a new game on the third day of the third month at 3 Pm at GDC. Maybe. Maybe they're announcing 3 games: Portal 3, Left 4 Dead 3, and Half-life 3 for their new VR headset that was just unveiled? Or maybe they're not announcing gently caress all and are just really awful mean fuckers? Anyway, they did make a VR thing because VR is cool now.

Built in partnership with HTC, the Vive is a virtual reality headset that uses two 1200 x 1800 displays which refresh at 90 frames per second.

Sorry, but just can't stop thinking about the number 3. It's one of those funny numbers, like 420, 69, or 9/11.

This post is full of pretty awesome holes. I like all the holes in this post.
I will probably buy the next game valve makes so this interests me.

3 is the number of gigantic ugly wires coming out of the top of that stupid headset thing.


All I really want out of Valve is the dumb owl controller. Also custom sounds back in TF2. Touch screen support for the Steam client would be nice too.

lmao if you honestly think valve is going to make a sequel to a decade old franchise instead of making sweet sweet money by making absolutely nothing for dota 2

Everything changes, Pit.
Even gods.

they're not announcing anything its just the timeslot that was available to them

quote:

Topics include numerical integration, contact manifolds, destruction, solvers, networking, and optimization. The focus is on rigid body physics and real-time simulation in games. There will be a mix of introductory topics, recent algorithms, and practical tips.

super exciting stuff im sure

lip up fatty
In half life 3 Gorgan Freeman finally finds his voice and we slowly find out of the course of the game who he truly is as he bleaches his hair and does steroids and shaves his beard and puts on shades and grows a flattop and before you know it you are watching the end credits to Duke Nukem Forever: 2. And then he rips of the G-Mans head and shits down his neck.

Or that contact manifold thing sounds pretty ok I guess. Maybe more anime games on steam.
