I still have my boxed copy of the Orange Box on a shelf. It still sees use because every once in a while I get embroiled in a Kids These Days type of conversation and I need a prop to wave around.
I’d happily put an orange Gabecube right next to it.
I was thinking about this in another thread where someone made this joke: With how much stuff Valve does outside of gaming, are we sure they have never done a 3rd iteration of something before? Like, they do business stuff too and are into a ton of random tech related things like BCIs. We only ever really hear about the game related stuff, tho. Or possibly when Gabe gets a new boat since they interview him on it.

I like how you were so excited, you couldn’t decide whether you wanted to highlight or circle it
Half life 3, Team Fortresses 3, Left 4 Dead 3?
portal 3
Dota 3
Please no I’m trying to live a normal, happy life.
Or would you say it looks like a box… Maybe an Orange Box!?!
I’m calling it - a limited release where the black shell is orange and it comes bundled with HL3 for free.
That would be amazing
I know you’re joking, and that would be enough to get me to buy one even though I don’t really have a use case for it.

I randomly kept my orange box case as a memento and found it recently. Lets find out if i can mod the steam machine to fit inside of it.
At a minimum if you still have the shirt (I lost mine years ago to a communal laundry room), you could wrap the steam machine with the shirt.
One of the shots of the steam machine had a “SoonTM” sticker
HL3, TF3, L4D3 as launch title for Steam Machine calling it right now. 😭😭😭😭
I just came in my pants
They went straight from Left 2 Dead to Left 4 Dead
Omg… a Left 16 Dead sounds amazing !
Left 3 Dead
L3ft Dead
Released on Wednesday (CET time). So on the third day of the week.
Artifact 3 confirmed!

You might just be overthinking a joke…
I’m just more committed to the bit.
A joke doesn’t have to end with a punchline. Sometimes yes, anding is the best thing to do with a joke rather than just laughing and moving on.
Yes, and the best jokes are famously the ones you need to explain. Sometimes the audience is wrong and they need to be set straight.
They have definitely had third iterations of things, but have they called them 3?
I mean there are at least 5 half-life games, they just called the third one 1 and the fourth 2 and the fifth wasn’t numbered.
The Steam app is on version 3 but the 3 isn’t in the title.
They use arch btw
At least they don’t use bazzite.
Why, is it bad?
Nah, it’s good. They’re just jealous 😘
Episode 3 confirmed!
I think you mean episode 2 expansion 1.

And it’s arch btw

It uses arch, btw
I’m hoping that that ARM support on the new VR headset means a Steam Phone may be in the works.
I give it five to ten years.
