Let’s play a game. Let’s see how long we can talk aboutHalf-Lifewithout bringing up the elusive third entry yet to emerge. Wait. Damn, we’ve already lost. How long was that? Anyway, yes, despite continued hopes thatValve may still make a third installmentin its iconic FPS series, we’re still not there. So why bother withHL3when we haveHalf-Lifeat home?

And forget just dinosaurs being the new trend....

I’m so glad that Holmes was finally able to share hisTtWaVinterview with Jessica Nigri. The vid was filmed way back during PAX East, butreasonsprevented him from actually uploading it to Destructoid. Having already seen it weeks ago, I was completely mystified by the roadblocks halting its progress from Holmes’ hard drive to your ears and eyeballs. It’s here now, so enjoy! Other than that, this weekend brings news from both EVO in Las Vegas, Nevada, and RTX in Austin, Texas....
