Next Wednsday

[vkfresh]

Any clues about whats coming out next Wed?

[VyseLegend]

A version of Steam that boots?

[Zurcaledo]

I have no clue...but I hope that L4D2 and/or TF2 will be a part of it. ^_^

[Kralec]

I'm expecting Team Fortress 2 to come out since there has been more evidence of it being ready in the beta than any other game. But Valve is full of some wascally wabbits, and they can do some clever things.

I just want to play through HL-2 again. Personally i think this should have been included because this is Valves flagship game. I need to shoot stuff, not jump through portals.

[misterpearce]

You could always shoot some portals? Maybe?

[vkfresh]

If you can find me someone to shoot in Portal!!

This.

I'd imagine TF2, DOD:S and a couple of EA Cider ports.

a couple of EA Cider ports.

No! Don't give them any ideas. :eek:

That's a great idea actually! If they bring over the Mac ports of Command and Conquer 3 and Red Alert 3 I will buy both in a heartbeat!! Then if sales are decent, maybe EA will get off their lazy arses and port C&C4 to the Mac like it should have been done in the first place :mad: (Which will also be an instant purchase!)

If you want C&C4 you must be really desperate Mac user. Thank God I had retail and could sold it to some unlucky bastard.

Ive had a copy of HL2 since 2004 to gift to someone, so i gifted it to my brother in law who just got a mac, and now he cant play. Lol

rbarris (who the forums here say works for Valve) posted this on the macrumors forums yesterday:

TF2 will ship on a Wednesday, as will the other Source

So my guess is that next Wednesday will see the release of TF2, HL2, and the other Source engine games that have been announced. :)

Yes, Rob used to work for Blizzard on their Mac team and is now working with Valve. He seems to have already mastered the art of snarky and ambiguous statements.

I took the post you linked by Rob to mean that TF2 would be launched, but in accordance with Valve's previous statement that new Valve Mac Game ports would hit on subsequent Wednesdays.

I look forward to next Wednesday. 8)

C&C4 is terrible...

But I'd love to see EA get board and release some of the early Cider games like C&C3.

Note that he said a Wednesday, not this Wednesday. Beware techies and bureaucrats, they will always get you with technicalities.

bah! I was at work, and trying to quick-scan the forums on a break. I usually spot those nuances. Kudos to you for catching my gaffe. :)

Well, he said "a wednesday". That could be next year, and don't expect every remaining source game next week, maybe one. ;)
