Oh boy. Former writer at Valve basically spoils what Half-Life 2: Episode 3 would have been… if ya know… it was still being made.

Speaking of which, the Steam community is taking out Half-Life 3 frustrations on DOTA 2’s Steam review, now.

And speaking of DOTA 2, can you guess which game has overtaken it in concurrent users numbers?

With Ricardo mysteriously absent Matt and Ethan recruit Parker to help us parse through all the new Destiny news that just launched! Matt gets emotional during a credits sequence, Parker is looking at his dog in whole new ways (not in a gross way, you sicko), and Ethan—and this is not a joke—takes off his pants. That plus plenty of Destiny news, The Witcher on Netflix, weird Squirtles, and possibly the worst Larry the Cable guy impression you’ve heard.

Games we played:

Matt: Nier Automata is DONE, Dead Cells

Ethan: Injustice 2

Parker: The Last Guardian, Breath of the Wild
