Somewhere between beating Portal for the umpteenth time, playing the Half Life Episodes and beating Portal 2, I somehow warmed up finally to Half Life. It's still not the greatest series ever, that's reserved for Romance of the Three Kingdoms and all of it's OCD inducing glory, but I'm starting to enjoy the work you guys do and I'm coming around.

Now.

Why are you guys treating Half Life, the IP that put you guys on the map, like a redheaded step child? From some of the chatter coming from the ARG participants who visited around your parts recently, Half Life 2 Ep3/HL3 isn't even close to being on your radars. With the release of Portal 2, and the Ship Overboard achievement, you reminded us that there's still the Borealis for Gordon to discover and fight his way through.

Also, are you guys even going to give us some idea when you're going to get cracking on it? Any idea when you're going get back to the giant freaking cocktease that was the end of Episode 2? Between the time of the release of Episode 1, and whenever Episode 3, someone could've gotten their goddamned PhD by now. I know Valve time is a sacred thing for you folks, but, could you give us SOMETHING?

Thanks
