It's 3/11 today.

[Munkyman720]

I'm surprised people aren't more curious about whether anything special will happen.

[EggoROFLs]

Most of the 3/11 hype was from before the announcement. Now that Portal 2 has already been announced, it's unlikely we'll get any new news about this game today.

why not? did gabe talk already at GDC 2010???
I was kinda hoping he would show a lil alpha footage or somthing

[BladeRunner162]

Yes im interested to see what happens! Does anyone know what time Gabe will be speaking?

[HyperTech]

I'm surprised people aren't more curious about whether anything special will happen.
I was very very excited for GDC during the ARG, since a lot of people thought Episode 3 could be revealed then.

But now it will most likely not be.. so I don't care the for GDC really.

Valve will probablt only be talking about boring stuff, like Half-Life for Mac and L4D 2 DLC *yawn*

[iEzerith]

That's what they are trying to do to us!

1. Release mystical update
2. Fanbase goes insane and starts digging for clues
3. Fanbase discovers 3.11 GlaDOS and March 11:th price.
4. Portal 2 is announced; Fanbase stops looking and goes "Oh, 11:th of march won't contain anything, then..."

And because we don't CARE about the GDC:
5. Gabe gives us a trailer for Portal 2.

[Dekertt927]

Stream or it didn't happen...

[HyperTech]

At least a trailer for Portal 2 would be bracing :)

But now that you've pointed that out, it won't happen. Thanks a lot.

[MADDOGGE]

Yes im interested to see what happens! Does anyone know what time Gabe will be speaking?Someone on another thread "said" 10pm EST, but he didn't give a source. From the other silly stuff he said though I don't know how reliable his info is.

[Errorl]

I'd like to know when. If it's 10pm American time, then I'm screwed...

[paynex53]

Hope this isn't too crude:

We will never forget 3/11.

[we11er]

Investigate 3/11!

[pixelated death]

I like in Louisiana, so the time is 1 o'clock here, when will the show start?

[MrHorrible]

Looks like the awards start at 6:30pm(assuming EST) http://www.gamechoiceawards.com/schedule.htm

[SnowCold]

But now that you've pointed that out, it won't happen. Thanks a lot.

But saying that cancels it! :D

But... me saying that cancels what you said, but this cancels my previouse statement, and that...

DEAR GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE?!

[flamedarkness]

are there any sites that will be covering this

[Right 4 Alive]

I think that's 9:30 Eastern Time.

[CWHunt456]

Then let's start off fresh!!! I say it will be cancled!

[eyefork]

There will be a live stream of the awards here: http://gdc.gamespot.com/live.html

There's even a countdown timer for those who hate time.

[Farlong]

It's 3/11 today

Its 11/3 today. Stop spreading crazy lies!

BOO! Did I scare you? And yes, I know the US write their dates wrong, unlike glorious europe :P

Oooh, thanks. I wasn't sure where I was going to find a stream/tv show. :D

[kirbyfan8]

I'm guessing it's episode 3, but only because of this (http://pici.se/pictures/kQEkugyJv.jpg)

[Errorl]

What does that have to do with Episode Three?

[Twilight Mage]

Personally I expect a Portal 2 trailer.
And perhaps an announcement of HL2:EP3.

[mr turkey40]

3/11 conspiracy?

9/11 reference. Y'know, the terroist thing that happened in America.

[Right 4 Alive]

I don't understand why you guys are expecting a trailer or announcement. Is it normal for people to announce games and show trailers when they accept an award?

[ICcold]

Nope

More like hoping rather than expecting.


I hope something is said...or hinted at.

[shuaRx]

I think Gabe will do some weird hand motion at certain words and the first letter of those words will spell out a new username/password

[PeeWee1477]

9/11 reference. Y'know, the terroist thing that happened in America.


It was all a hoax. The towers are still standing. They just have a huge invisibility field over them.

3 hours?

i won't be able to watch it...

[mopey236]

Honestly, i am expecting Gabe to go on stage, receive his award, say how much it means to him and thank some people, then walk off.

[Nekomancer]

Fixed it for you.

Are you... stupid or something?
What do you think my conspiracy comment was about?!

[Algorithmae]

It's past 6:30

Oh snapz?

[Daft Pink]

What does that have to do with Episode Three?

Isn't it obvious? They even highlighted the lambda symbol and the number "3" for you.

[Lysander]

Everyone check the stream, it should be live any minute now.

http://g4tv.com/gdc2010

[nod113]

Everyone check the stream, it should be live any minute now.

http://g4tv.com/gdc2010

It still has like 2 hours...

[TheDude7053]

nope still got two hours yet, 6:30 PST

DAMN got ninja'd

[Lysander]

Two hours? Oh God, ♥♥♥♥ this then. I give up. I'll wait to see what's here in the morning. Nothing amazing, I imagine.

[bonkabonka]

Yeah this isn't worth staying up over.

[conan96]

I'm not only staying up... im going to record it on gamespot and upload it on youtube. Don't fail us Gabe... or im going to make a video of you dancing the karamelldansen XP

[Zarphus]

i still believe that we got the month/day wrong. its likely the release date expected around THE THIRD OF NOVEMBER. many projected release dates are around the last week of october to the first week of november. this is also a proper release date for "holiday 2010" which valve has stated will be the anticipated release period.

[Directx10]

no way they would set a release date already. they'd just delay it

[JOBE!!!]

So you're saying they will release P2 on Gabes birthday?

[conan96]

has he recieved the award yet?

No... he will recieve the award in about 52 minutes when it starts.

[ratmen]

watch it online (http://gdc.gamespot.com/live.html)

[ZeroPlus]

So when/where can we preorder Portal 2?

[ICcold]

So when/where can we preorder Portal 2?
You already can on gamestop


Nothing anywhere else yet...I think.

[Species8472]

I say no one from valve will show up on the video. Instead they will play a video of GLaDOS giving the speech.

[nod113]

That would be awesome

[dcaff]

Edit: But he really does need to talk more.

[relaxeder]

[ICcold]

Is that guy really that awkward?

[Directx10]

Lol, who else just heard her drop the f bomb?

[tylerjacob]

i would honestly prefer if the teleprompter was the host.

[Torpedo]

"♥♥♥♥, i cant wait to take of this wig" is what I heard.

[relaxeder]

THAT GUY HAD A BLACK MESA SHIRT

[RedKit]

When is Gabe goin' up?

Or am I late?

I just got here so I dunno what's goin on.

[TD5160]

Seemed like she tried to muffle it at the end.

[Coconut]

This host's name is something like Cho-Bot and she doesn't sound anything as androidy as the last folks.

[yoshi8710]

WOAH! someone who knows how to talk!!!!

[tylerjacob]

yay! chobot! she has a soul! and ♥♥♥♥!

[Directx10]

"♥♥♥♥, i cant wait to take of this wig" is what I heard.

When you change the channel or hit the red X.

[Drakkendor]

You guys do realize that this is an award show, not something they are going to be announcing new games or showing video trailers?

[MADDOGGE]

Happy for Zeno but wanted The Maw

[EllOhEll]

You guys do realize that this is an award show, not something they are going to be announcing new games or showing video trailers?

Yes, but the Portal ARG may have hinted at something happening today.

[gamer1973]

When you change the channel or hit the red X.

no, i really mean, when do they finish with all the Awards and stuff

[MacD12]

i want flower.

[gamer1973]

I THINK I JUST SAW GABE

[Sawgon]

I love Uncharted, but I'd given that to Fl0wer. Love that game.

[bernkastel]

I've been dying to play Flower for ages. I really need to download it now that my PS3's set up again ...

[MacD12]

♥♥♥♥ing buffer.

ACII was such a great game. I really must play it again.

[MacD12]

whats going on?buffers being gay.

[Sawgon]

I've been dying to play Flower for ages. I really need to download it now that my PS3's set up again ...

You'll really enjoy it. It's so awesome. It has Trophies, if you're into that too. ^^

thats what my head felt like when it saw the flower people things.

[MacD12]

wtf is with the walking baby cloth?

[gamer1973]

Gabe:...And now, a surprise (Announces Portal 2/Episode 3 or trailer)

[John1986]

lol that flower bit was so funny

[jimmysmitty]

Woah. Didn't expect Batman to win.

I kinda did. Its one of the best super hero games done along with the best voice for Batmn (Kevin Conroy from the animated series) and Joker (Mark Hamill from the animated series as well).

The art was great too. Dark and drab. In fact this game makes the movies look like crap.

[gamer1973]

Thank God that theres nothing with left 4 dead 2 :D

[slipperywhenwet]

so no gabe yet?

[Zechnophobe]

Dragon age loses to Uncharted 2? Either there is some crazy ♥♥♥♥ going down here, or Uncharted 2 is AMAZING and I need to go play it.
