Valve Delays Portal 2, Squashes Duke Nukem Rumors
SKYMTL writes "In a tongue-in-cheek commentary, Valve has announced the delay of Portal 2 and thrown water on the rumor fires regarding its E3 'surprise.' This surprise was rumored to be either Half-Life 3 or the revival of Duke Nukem, and it looks like neither will happen anytime soon."
Which might be the reason why it's in slashdot/games ... I'm just guessing here of course.

Ostensibly whatever it is Valve is going to be revealing at E3 is going to be a game, a new game perhaps or something like that. Either way it's hard to get exited about.
OMG Sherlock, have you got inside info or something? ... wait for it, a video game. Man, you really got amazing inference skills!
You mean that what a game publisher company will reveal at an Electronic Entertainment Expo is
Now, that you do not get excited about that only means that you do not care about such type of entertainment; but hey, that's a completely different stories.

safely addapt Stephen Hawking's theory to this situation and state that laws of the universe conspire to prevent anybody ever actually finishing the development of Duke Nukem Forever.
True the evidence is purely anecdotal, but then the same goes for his original application of the concept to time machines so that's alright then.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Man are you gonna look stupid when Valve releases the cure for cancer at E3 this year.
Personally, I'm interested in the narrative direction that Valve takes in Portal 2. The original's protagonist started as a relatively weak, essentially passive, woman, who only comes out of her introverted shell after much prodding by GLADOS. The sequel needs to go in a different direction, with an extroverted male protagonist. He should be a body builder, with a blond crew-cut, wearing aviator glasses, and smoking a cigar. You know, like this.
