How do you most want HL3 to be announced?

I just want them to release the game without trailers or anything like it just release it and not say a word about it ;d

Gabe is in a video and he farts and they superimpose green gas comin out of his ass and it spells HALF LIFE 3.

It's E3. Gabe unexpectedly walks on stage. There is nothing but silence. Gabe puts up one finger and says "One". Everyone tenses up. Gabe puts up TWO fingers and says "Two". OMG OMG IT'S HAAAAPENING! Gabe puts up four fingers and says "Four". Everyone is confused, did we get trolled? What is happening? Video starts playing behind Gabe as he announces the sequel to The Orange Box, The Orange Cube, with four games in it (Left 4 Dead 3, Portal 3, Team Fortress 3 and Half-Life 3). Fans start going crazy, ripping their hair out and foaming at the mouth as Gabe rides out of E3 on a horse named Ted.

News crew: "We go now, live, to the LHC with professor Gordon Freeman."

Gordon Freeman: "..." (waves at the camera and slightly smiles, then pushes a cart containing a box labeled "Half-Life 3" into the LHC)
the LHC implodes

Cut back to Bellevue, Washington
Gabe Newell: "ARGs are old hat (get it? hats!). Our new game is just called Real-Life™ (no "3"), and you're all a part of it! Also, you're all going to die from that implosion pretty soon, if you haven't already. We haven't quite figured out how to do quicksaves in Real-Life™ yet."

Next to me as I watch the news...
A Vortigaunt warps in and zaps me to death.

add it to the stall without anyone knowing.

I'd like steampowered.com to show close the shop for a day and instead show sountdown. At the end, there would be live stream of Gaben telling us how not only portal and HL are set in the same universe, but also... L4D games are big part of it... and that the games will be free on steam for anyone who has HL1+HL2+L4d1+L4d2+P1+P2.

Just add it to the Daily Deal. Better yet, anyone that has any Half Life game gets it for a lower price. :P

I don't want it to be announced I want it to just be in steam and one day I search for it and there it is.

A torrent appears on the internet with one file: hl3.iso which was uploaded by Gaben.
And that unpacked should just have a trailer :D

as a developer giveaway with 3 copies here on sg. and no information anywhere.

Because everyone but Valve confirmed it already at some point :) I don't want it to be announced at all. I just want to open steam one day and see it on the front page with the text "Now Available".

I want HL3 to be announced bigstyle, by making Half-Life 1 Anthology free on Steam. They have done that in the past when they offered Portal 1 for free.

i want them put it on steam randomly then news stations to announce it publicly and then sell it on steam store with the chance to get a golden ticket to play the betas of portal 3, left 4 dead 3 and teamfortress 3
this will forever be know in gamer history as the day valve learnt how to count to 3

With a tomato arg

one day all games with number 3 disapier from steam and next day there's a steam message that there was an error with steam and that now all games with number 3 are once more available. hl3 included

audiomessage in my inbox: rise and shine mister insert my real Name here [...] no just kidding, half
life 3 is here. BUY IT (sorry cant type the whole text because im online via mobile)
