Portal 2 E3 Party Canceled, New Surprise Incoming
By Tim Hage on Jun 2nd, 2010 at 12:15PM
In typical fashion, Valve sent out a vague and cryptic mailing that reads the following:
“Dear Subject Name Here,
Aperture Science is pleased to inform you that we have partnered with Valve to announce the gala CANCELLATION of the June 14 Portal 2 event at the Regal Theater. The event will be replaced by a surprise. And even though the cancellation of the event certainly counts as a surprise, we are pleased to further announce that the cancellation of the event is not THE surprise. However, per International treaties regarding the definition of the word “surprise”, of which both Aperture Science and Valve are signatories, the time, date and content of the actual surprise will only become available as you experience the surprise.
If you’d like to ask fruitless questions about the E3 Portal 2 surprise or, more fruitfully, schedule an appointment to attend a Portal 2 screening at the Valve booth during E3, please contact Valve’s Special Envoy to Surprises, Doug Lombardi.
Thank you for [RECORD SCRATCH!!!]
PS: The surprising record scratch is also not the surprise.”
Unsurprisingly, many are speculating that Half Life 2: Episode 3 will be this surprise. We’ll all know soon enough.
