Probably did it on purpose. He's starting to milk the joke a lot.

If you were gabbin why wouldn't you have Half life 3 wallpaper on your PC?!

Gabbin IS gman.

Needs more Gaben beard before I call legit.

If I was him I would do it just to mess with people at this point.

Gabe's probably delaying the release so that fans long so much for it that they WILL buy it, instead of just "Meh, maybe later."

Don't you realize? Gaben is episode 3. He ate all the copies of it. To get episode 3, we must go inside of Gaben.

Also realize due to Valve's unique corporate structure they're liable to pick up and drop projects at a whim as all the employees only really dedicate themselves to the tasks they want to be in on, for as long as their skills or attention span dictates.

There's been some indication - or jokes, if you want - that Valve may be making HL3. But however long it takes will depend on how long their collective attention-span allows, or if they decide they should break from it and run a concept through the testing ground that is TF2.

Everyone is already to that point.
When there's a twitter page, dedicated to saying "No Half Life 3 is not out" you know people want it.

I think if Valve announced that Half Life 3 is a thing that's being made and it's available to pre-order on Steam RIGHT NOW! QUICK GO! Steam would explode from all the simultaneous pre-orders and there would be few pants left in all the land that has not been soiled by gamer juices.

Maybe at this point they're not making it to save the Internet. We know the pre-order traffic would cause fires in all of the servers.
