NOBODY FUCKING CARES. PUT THE FUCKING MODS IN THE BAG.

Eh, Dark Interval is the superior beta mod anyway.

McVicker is claiming that Valve has decoupled the release of HLX from coinciding with the hardware, which was the previous heavy speculation; he (and various Twitter leakers) are now claiming we will be hearing information and preorders about said hardware within this very month/super early July.

It would be incredibly funny if he's wrong. Again. Hopefully in the direction that HLX actually still remains a tie-in.

at this point I'm inclined to believe anything McVicker says is a lie.

I only bothered to link the video in this thread because he covers hardware leaks from some other people on Twitter in it and it's digestible. Like, alleged photographs of the Machine and Frame packaging type shit. Review embargo allegedly lifts on the 23rd too. If that's wrong, it will be extremely embarrassing for him lol.

I can't wait for AI to allow people with jobs and families to go toe-to-toe with no-life troons.

I can't wait for AA games made by 4chan's pol using nothing but AI.

I can't wait for AI to streamline making mods that remove pozzed shit from games.

I also can't wait to be able to feed AI entire videos and make it spit out bullet points so I don't have to listen to them gush about how much they love shoving shit in their amholes.

At this point I want everything McNigger says to be a lie- just to see his pride of being a "Valve knower" dry up and die.

I just want the Frame

Here's some cool art I found on Twitter.

I'm starting to have dreams about HLX and waking up to find I'm just dreaming. My own subconscious is cucking me right now, help.

I used to have those dreams about having a loving wife back in my 20s. It goes away eventually. Still stings.

Strangely, so am I.

I still think it's coming. The code leaks were way too frequent in recent years and they started just shortly before Half Life Alyx came out. There was also a (granted really thin and not really all that useful) leak with Deadlock a while back with some then upcoming model changes (which were legit), and some who saw some other stuff that wasn't shown hinted that they saw a glimpse of a build of HLX, though they said it was "the game everyone is expecting". But this isn't 100% confirmed but I'll chose to believe it's HLX.

This can be tested very simply by prompting a suspected person to select a TF2 class

Tsk tsk, very funny, Valve.

Anatomy looks a little off, but the coloring is pretty good.

*recording begins*

"Would you kindly pick 'Spy' ?"
"But I suck as the spy! The team will lose!"
"Pick the spy. Would.You.Kindly?"
"Ruugughh!"
*cue the sound of sheer failure and the match being lost*
"The experiment has been an amazing success. This subject didnt kill themselves yet."
"Yet?!"

*recording ends*

This guys got a bunch of art on leddit. I really liked the interpretation of Gordon being shellshocked so I downloaded most of them.

Spoiler: Art

Looks like the leakers are right because there's no way they would put this up now (and sponsor twitter posts from extremely popular game news aggregate accounts) if more details weren't imminent either later today or tomorrow.

I know this is only tertiarily relevant to Half-Life at this point but it's Portal and we don't have a Portal thread. Also I hope McVicker is wrong and we get a HLX tease in some capacity at the very least.
