Valve has officially canceled Half-Life 2: The Black Box for the PC, according to a report from IGN. Originally scheduled to ship alongside the more complete Orange Box at a reduced price, it would have contained Half-Life 2 Episode Two, Portal and Team Fortress 2. The company will now focus on a single SKU for the PC when it ships this fall.
Of course, those products will also be available via the company's Steam platform, meaning users won't need to buy any boxed product at all.
However, if you're attached to holding a physical product, Doug Lombardi of Valve told IGN's PC group that:
Quote:Those who purchase the PC version of The Orange Box will get three separate Steam product codes: One for the three new games, one for HL2, and one for Episode One. This way a PC Orange Box owner can give away their Half-Life 2 or Episode One unused Steam product codes if they don't need a copy of those games.
Lombardi didn't provide explanation for the decision, but I'm going to chalk it up to avoiding customer confusion. Shipping and marketing a single product across three platforms is going to make this much easier for the general public to wrap their noodles 'round. Michael McWhertor

Hello Elon Yariv! This is your 3500th login.
Hey everyone.... just realised there was a bloggy, journal type thing and decided to write some funky ass shit.
If you've read my profile theres nothin' else really to know about me (that bein' said ask whatever you want :p)
Haven't had a chance to start on a second map, I've been completely swamped by college coursework, which requires an extra amount of alcohol binging to give me the will to live. After this week I should be back to a half sober, haf over-worked state which should be enough to allow me to map some more (thank Mother Teressas' left breast for that) Haven't a fuckin' clue what I'll map exactly but I'm sure I can draw something up.... I hope, (possibly a brothel with shiny lights and naked "nurses" bumstabbing each other with double-ended, serrated dildo swords) .... um.... just a thought.
Well I best get back to doing more ridiculous amounts of photography coursework, and stop using this as a distraction
I'll probably have another journal entry sometime soon (unless I become liquified by a car or something) but at least I can type my work with two hands now, after six weeks of my left (spare, "tissue") hand being in plaster from a broken wrist (HURRAY)
Till next time....

Holy shit! We have another female member!
I'm currently making a map with a stupid battleship and a wide sea. The progress is hindered by that damned Alloc failure. I'm also deciding to make a dm_greentown 2, maybe from scratch, or the planned one, in an industrial estate. And oh, I'm making a dm map based on the stages in Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror. Its the level 3-1, the Peru stage.
