March Mayhem (again).

April 04, 2010

Valve pulled ahead at the last minute and overtook Zynga, and as of now the voting is closed. And I'll admit that this turn of events caused me to breathe a slight sigh of relief, a salute to the (seemingly) thousands of FarmVille and Mafia Wars requests I've ignored. Though I'm less excited about Zynga losing and more excited about the final match-up:

VALVE VERSUS BIOWARE! FUCK YES!

CUE EPIC MUSIC

Hey, nice! That's a very good match up and it's what you were hoping for besides!

I'll probably be rooting for Valve, because Half Life changed the way I look at games, but Bioware is another of my favorites...

... also, Bioware has a tendency to put out games a little faster than Valve these days, with arguably equal quality.

That's precisely the argument I'm using. I love Valve to death, but they're taking too fucking long to release Half-Life 2: Episode Three. And it's not even a full game; it's a third of one.

Valve won because their fans spammed the forums and in-games to get people to vote for them. Similar to what Zynga did, I guess.

I obviously want Valve to win since I haven't enjoyed a Bioware game since 2003 but I don't really care enough to vote haha. And about Episode 3: my guess is it isn't coming out at all, and we'll see Half-Life 3 in 2012 or so. Either that or Valve announces a new Orange Box type game this fall with Portal 2, but since it seems like Portal 2 will be a full length game this time around I'm not counting on it.

I now have this audio image of Gus Johnson calling the crazy late comeback as it came down to the wire.
