It looks like it is not there.

Looking forward to it!

You are looking forward to the lack of Episode 3?

*edit* sad face lol.

They have nothing to show? Dear god they didnt even start yet or its really secret

Well E3 lasts up to June 4th. Theres still time left. I highly doubt that we will get to see something new from valve already unless they are doing it as a last minute thing.

Bah, sucks. We've been waiting over 1.5 years now.

And who said episodic games were suppose to be quicker? haha Valve time for the lose.

The odd thing about this is it was 1.5 years between the episodes before. I think they've sidetracked too much with TF2 and L4D.

Yeah they have been coming up with a lot of content for Team fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead. Although now Team Fortress 2 is suppose to have a dedicated team of around 10 people I think. From looking at the valve site it looks like they have around 85 employees http://www.valvesoftware.com/people.html (Yes I sat and counted them). The valve team isnt that big compared to most other developers so they probably cant work as much on several different products at once. I know that Valve generally have a philosophy of everyone inputs more or less anywhere they feel like it to bring ideas together etc.

I'm betting that Half-Life 3 will be announced rather than Episode 3. I know it sounds unlikely, but the rumours have to start somewhere.

Yes but remember Met they did fire everyone http://www.tf2.com/post.php?id=2520 Maybe they just forgot to update the youtube page

Nice find anyway. If they are going to announce something I would imagine they do it today. Who knows they may have a private press conference showing off half life ep 3. Its unlikely though

Lets start some rumours.

Ep 3 Coming Nov, bundled with L4D2 and Portal 2 in the green box.

I predict that Left 4 Dead 2 on its own in November.

Portal 2 and Episode 3 may well be bundled together, as the story arks look set to collide.

Not sure the box would be the green box. Green is Left 4 Dead's colour. I reckon that it would be something different.

They have only annouced l4d 2, the rest of the people must be doing something. There are alot of people at valve, the former turtle rock people are focusing on l4d 2. And the tf2 bunch have been busy, and they always say at valve people can work on what they want too but would there be enough people to be working on episode 3?

Lets hope so, otherwise I will be very sad by the time I have played Episode 2 20 times over

We need some news soon, I really hope it will be released early 2010 at the latest, otherwise it will be far too long (2.5 years for episodic).

I'm thinking they are starting to announce things only when they are certain, so after the announcement it will only be a couple of months to actual release with only a small amount of Valve Time effect.
