So last night I watched the GDC stream, and watched the speech from Gabe Newell. He was getting ready to talk about new games coming from our Valve overlords when the computer up and died with a Blue Screen of Death. Now as this happened I sat at my computer and pondered aloud to my roommate, Necros, that Newell may have done that on purpose, began to tease the audience with news of something new and orchestrated a fake BSoD.
Skip to just a few minutes ago, browsing the interwebs after class I hop over to Kotaku (I know shameful right?) and discover this
article. Seems Valve is up to their old tricks and teasing us even further.
Apparently somebody over on Penny Arcade's forums has figured out the message, which is as follows (for those of you who dont want to venture over to Kotaku)
GLaDOS
A fatal exception (S) has occurred at (U)(S) : (P)(E)(N)(D) in (U)(N )(T)((I)) *
(L)(E)(E)(E). The current application will be terminated.
* Press any key to flood the facility with deadly neurotoxins.
* Press CTRL+ALT+DEL again to reinstate testing. You will lose any
Non-vital personnel and their progress through the current test.
Press any key to continue _
So if you put those letters together, you get SUSPEND UNTIL EEE (or E3). So we will have to wait until E3 for more news on Portal 2.
In other news, have I mentioned I love Valve lately?
