[QUOTE="Admin, post: 65927, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/half-life-3']Half-Life 3[/URL] rumor and speculation is in overdrive after the voice actor behind G-Man issued a cryptic tweet teasing some sort of news for 2025. In full G-Man mode, Mike Shapiro tweeted a narrated video in which he marked the end of 2024 by teasing “unexpected surprises” for this year, alongside the tags #Valve, #Halflife, #GMan, and #2025. “Another year already," Shapiro said in the tweet. "Good to see and hear from some many of you. May the next quarter century deliver as many unexpected surprises, hmm, as did the millennium’s first. Then again time is fluid like music.
