It happened today. Gabe Newell emerged from his burrow, and counted to three. Unfortunately, he saw his shadow and quickly retreated back into the cold earth.

German Folklore states that it will be at least 3 more years before anyone plays a new Half Life. Fortunately, we’re big giant video game hipsters, so we won’t cover it anyway.

Still, it’s not every day Gabe Newell counts to 3. We thought it was worth mentioning.
