Article: Here We Go Again! Valve Teases Something with "3" and Possibility of New ARG (UPDATED)

[Shawn Zipay]

Valve seems to be ramping up the mystery in the past week. After a response from Gabe Newell from one of 4chan's "let's send Gabe an email using one word replies" resulted in a response, the train took off from the station.

I don't suppose it would ease your wrath if I told you we're announcing all of your favorite things at E3 2012?

A follow-up email tried to clear up some confusion from the first email.

I can see how the wording caused some confusion there. Yes, we are announcing something with a three in it.

Continue on to the just aired 2011 VGAs in which certain visual clues were hidden in the background of Wheatley's acceptance speech. Finish up with the rebirth of the Doug_Rattmann Twitter sending out numerical codes that have yet to be cracked and guess what? We're in for what looks like another Valve ARG that, if speculation holds true, will result in the announcement reveal at E3 2012.

God help us all.

I hope people dont get their hopes up, im going to guess its the next release of TF2 Vogue magazine.

It's fake, Doug_Rattman is Dougley, the PotatoARG Steam group admin, he has nothing to do with any of the ARGs, officially. Also, the owner of ValveARG emailed Marc, who has denied any intelligence of an ongoing ARG.

Imagine the hype HL3 would have to fill, it's expectations are massive, colossal! Now imagine if the game is....a console port!!!
