Valve certainly has been giving us the runaround for a few years now. News of Portal 2's eventual drop satisfied our thirst for the time being, and now that its release is a month away, fans are starting to get really anxious. During an interview with some Valve execs, a fan question put them on the spot, asking whether we should be waiting for Half-Life 2: Episode 3, or are we awaiting Half-Life 3? The execs were silent for a moment and then gave an ambiguous and mystic answer. Of course, we won't know, not until after Portal 2 drops. But the characters of Half-Life 2 are getting pretty anxious, too, just sitting around waiting for Valve to come back to them and say, "C'mon, guys, it's showtime." So here's what our favorite characters are doing, shooting the breeze, fighting boredom and waiting for the latest installment of Half-Life.
