Just wanted to set a record for "two" homophones in one headline. Anyway, Valve: Half-Life 2 Episode 2 Will Be Longer on Fringe Drinking (thanks xXBatmanXx) has word from Valve's Doug Lombardi that Half-Life 2: Episode Two will offer about eight hours of gameplay, compared with the approximately six hours of gameplay in episode one, and offers details on planned Steam features that will enhance its community support. Doug also says that in spite of Episode 2's delayed release, their development cycle for episodic content is getting shorter:

"Episode 1 took 18 months to complete and Episode 2 will end up being about 13 to 14 months, so we’re trimming it down," he said. "I think we’ll get closer to a year and be on a 12 month cycle. We’ll see how it goes after this trilogy is done."

.. of chasing her bottom.

I see Team Fortress 2 and Portal as the main purchases and Episode 2 as a bonus freebie.

HL2 Episodes are more of the same really, yawn, yet more zombies, why cant we drive a Strider?

How about some new material?

HL2 is getting long in the tooth, I would not buy it if it wasnt for TF2 and Portal, period.

If the episodes are getting smaller in dev cycles, I want smaller prices or they get smaller purcahses as we all wait until it is discounted.
