Valve Software is looking to release Half-Life 2 Episode 2 sometime this fall. Reportedly they will be including two side-games in the Ep. 2 release. One will warm the hearts of all olde-timey Quake players:

That’s right – Team Fortress 2, baby! And not ~~5 years~~ a moment too late!

Next up, Portal. The intro video does a much better job of explaining it than I could ever attempt. Just watch.

I think I need to get a decent Windows PC up and running in preparation for such manifold awesomeness…
