Yes, okay. Let's trust a game case that's existed for 3 years. Obviously if they wanted to do something different, they'd go out and find all of the cases and change them!
When did they say that?http://www.neowin.net/news/valve-no-more-episodic-content-half-life-3-instead
More than three years have passed since our last installment in the Half Life universe. Episode Two was released alongside with the original Portal and Team Fortress 2 in The Orange Box back in September of 2007. The idea of episodes, at the time, was to keep fans from waiting years for new content. For Valve, they thought episodes were the way to go for the Half Life franchise following the first two.
What they did not anticipate was the unexpected success of the other two games in The Orange Box. Portal was, as Valve admitted, an experiment whose multiple Game of the Year awards caught them by surprise, so much so they went ahead with the sequel which had met almost universal acclaim from critics. Team Fortress 2 continues to receive hundreds of small and large content updates since its release, an amazing achievement for a three-year-old game as Valve moves towards the "games as a service" model by leveraging the power of their content delivery platform, Steam. Valve also started a new IP in that timeframe, Left 4 Dead.
So what about Episode Three for Half Life 2? As an episode, it probably won't happen, as Valve's Gabe Newell explains in an interview with Develop-Online. As Newell explains, the "games as a service" model is distilled from the episodic model, but in shorter time cycles. The entertainment aspect moves games away from being sold solely as a product, and more towards a small 'ecosystem' where content can emerge from it. The game itself is the largest portion, with small comics, trailers, fan-made content, and official updates with small marketing runs making up the void.
Newell isn't completely ruling out "large scale" projects such as the inevitable sequel in the Half Life series. As he explains:
"You want to distribute your choices. Right now there’s a bunch of pressures to have shorter and shorter development cycles. But that could change. I’d have to find a reason for it to change, but it could. I don’t want to be caught completely off-guard and overly invested in one area.
I think you’ll still see projects from us that are huge in scale, simply because we have the ability to do that."

What an absolutely ridiculous guess. He liked the website and linked it to his follows so they could see it. He's done this whole 'link to website, overload it" so many times that I don't even know why he does it anymore. I guess it's kind of impossible not to link to stuff you're talking about though.
Google cached version of the site. Wow, that site deserved low bandwidth. But it didn't deserve the bandwidth getting overloaded. Maybe Notch hated the site?

But that texture pack sure isn't.Oh wow, what a wonderfully useless comment.
Why are you advertising a diffrent station here?Pandora Radio isn't really a radio station.. it's more like something similar to Spotify and Grooveshark. You just find music you want and play it.
You can call me handicapped alll you want but what in the hell does MCP stand for?
I'm not sure what it stands for, but I know it's some kind of modding API for Minecraft that is required to code Equivalent Exchange.It's called MCP, Minecraft Coders Pack.
