    stay away from youtube and portal 2 steam forums. Apparently ps3/xbox versions have been leaked and people've been posting ending/intro to youtube. And please no spoilers on NBR :(

    well there is a good chance the pc version is coming out tomorrow somehow (or a demo if nothing else)

    or an announcement of half-life 2 episode 3.

    or whatever the hell valve has planned (end game for the crazy Portal 2 ARG)

    The best scenario tomorrow would be:

    They first unlock portal 2
    Then announce ep3 (or what the heck make it available for preorder or even release it!)

    Word on da street is that tha endings on the Youtube are fake, yo. Valve wants ta troll you guys into who knows wat, yo.

    Hmm, looks like I was wrong. It was just confirmed that they are in fact real.

    This ____ suddenly just got real, son.

    Were they "leaked" just like Crysis 2 beta? I mean, people could have gotten an early copy...?

    And having the early copy, they leaked to the interwebz... Sad... :(

    But but but but but but but but but but but but but but.... that's impossible. It's the PC gamers that are the naughty piratey fiends. Fact. Activision backs me up on this.

    Yeah thought that too. Would be ironic if the Xbox 360 and PS3 games were pirated and not PC. D'oh!

    Your avatar scares me... :eek:


    But yeah, piracy in consoles is increasing FAST, and perhaps it might get higher than PC... ._.

    The videos are in fact real. The leak happened probably not because of piracy but due to a retailer leaking the game or someone stealing a copy and playing it on the consoles.

    I do have a feeling this entire ARG thing is VALVe's huge April Fool's joke.

    I think what we'll get out of all this is an announcement for Half-Life 2 Episode 3. The only reason I say that is the fact that Gordon showed up in all of this and not sure why else he would be.

    I think so. I didn't know anything about all this until two days ago. People just can't be patient enough. But then I think this is a fun way to launch a game - make people more involved.

    If you want it launched early, get the potato sack pack and spend a dozen or more hours of your life to get the game released a couple days early. lol.

    4 years, this coming October, since Episode 2 was released. Valve can kiss my goodbye, until Episode 3 comes out !

    BTW.............so can Biocrap ! DA: Origins was suppose to be a return to their roots, then they release DA2 ! WTH?

    They use the same old tired formula, only change the story and the outfits..............KOTOR, Jade Empire, ME !

    It's still the same girl, no matter how much make-up she's wearing !

    Sorry to rant..................just tired of all the sell-outs !
