Looks Like Something is Coming Soon from Valve, Is it HL3 or Meet the Pyro?

[Shawn Zipay]

Curious, isn't it? In a bit of an interesting twist, both IGN and one of Valve's Twitter feeds sort of hint that something may be coming sooner than you think. Is it some Half-Life 3 news? Maybe it's Meet the Pyro? Or maybe it's just one big coincidence.

Around the same time this morning, which would be a bit after 3AM (EST), the Steam Support Twitter and IGN pushed out two Tweets.

@IGN - Wake up and smell the ashes.

@Steam_Support - Be sure to check out all the #Valve feeds: http://bit.ly/IOMbeD

Undoubtedly, this could just be nothing at all. Right? It is entirely possible it's just a huge coincidence that Valve would want you to follow all of their various feeds for no reason at all. It could just be that IGN was remembering one of their favorite lines from Half-Life 2 for no real reason as well.

Could just be grasping at straws here, along with a lot of other hopeful gamers out there.

Hopefully they are starting a HL3 ARG that leads up to an official announcement @ E3.... I can dream can't I? lol

So, wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and smell the ashes.

My bet is Meet the Pyro, It was in the latest Portal 2 trailer in one of the monitors at the very end.

I think they are trolling you badly, or are just reserving the site so they can make the announcement whenever they want to, like in 10 years or so.
