    Well it has been hinted at be Valve...

    http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/260688528/clang

    Scan to 3:03. Count how many hits on the crowbar (It's 3), and see who it is (It's Gabe).

    Crowbar + 3 minutes + 3 seconds three references to 3 + Gabe = ????

    Either a hint HL3 is in the progress, or just an in-joke.

    Yeah, I know it's likely just a bloody joke but a girl can hope right?

    I wonder what the specs will be on the reference hardware Valve are going to use. Could be a lot of upset fanboys when it's announced!

    Well, I joined the beta quest - I have more chance of winning the National Lottery though!

    Looking forward to the Stream Mind Control Input Device...

    My main concern is ergonomics, hopefully, as it looks more like the 360 controller rather than the PS3 controller, it'll fit my hands. Whether I can get to grips with all the buttons is another matter. Maybe the trackpads will be better than joysticks as there's no force required from your fingers, so the others can push the shoulder buttons better.

    Very much doubt you'll catch me playing any FPS games with one, I'm just not good enough with sticks/pads to aim quick enough.
