'True Blood' Premiere Hints at Hot Season of Eric & Sookie Sex
Here's the deal: Sookie thinks she spent all of ten minutes with Claudine in the faery realm before escaping from twisted tinkerbell Mab with her grandpa Earl (who unfortunately disintegrates shortly after returning to the mortal/vampire/shape-shifter world). Turns out Sookie was actually gone for over a year, which she figures out when she goes back to the Bon Temps home she shared with her late grandmother and brother Jason only to find that a different family is taking over the house.
When the freaked-out family calls the cops, who should show up but an officially-uniformed Jason? Sibling Stackhouse just about bursts a blood vessel in his brain upon realizing that Sookie isn't dead, as he (and apparently everybody else) had feared.
Jason is reluctant to believe Sookie's tales from the faerie realm at first (I don't see why, considering he has a were-panther for a girlfriend ), but he seems to come around when Sookie passes along a pocket watch their grandfather gave her for Jason shortly before dying. At this point, Sookie realizes that night has begun to fall ... and sure enough, Bill shows up within seconds, followed closely by Eric (sigh!). Bill begs for Sookie to forgive him like the little girly-vampire that he is; Eric, on the other hand, states simply that he never believed she was dead. Bill gets his fangs out of joint and orders Eric back to Fangtasia (why does he listen? More on that later), but before he disappears, Eric reminds Sookie that while everyone else gave up on her while she was gone, he never did.
Next on the scene is Sheriff Andy Bellefleur , who's more annoyed that Bill didn't actually murder Sookie (as he alleged) than he is relieved to see her alive. He presses Sookie for details about who "kidnapped" her, but Sookie tells him no one did -- that's when Bill jumps in, explaining that Sookie was on away on some kind of top-secret vampire mission. This REALLY pisses Andy off, who stalks away to his patrol car, where he is accused by Jason of using again (aha! Now Bellefleur's a V addict, too.).
Alone again with Bill, Sookie tells him that since it feels like she was only gone for a few minutes, she feels like he just broke her heart yesterday and isn't ready to forgive him.

Half-Life 3 Hints Surface

Most true Half-Life fans such as myself have given up hopes of seeing the planned Half-Life 2: Episode Three at this point. Instead, I choose to assume that Valve has already moved onto work on a much bigger and more awesome Half-Life 3. Maybe I’m setting myself up for disappointment, but stories of a former Valve employee’s resume suggest this could be exactly what is happening.
Valve fansite Lambda Generation has the fully story, which actually comes via a post on the Steam forums. The post was titled “Half-Life 3 is officially confirmed!” Here’s the text of the since-deleted post from user ryuuk, which Lamda Generation also smartly screen-capped:
“Mike Dussault, a long time programmer at Valve, recently left the company. I didn’t know him until last week. Let me introduce myself. I’m a freelance artist. I do contract work for a studio in Seattle, through the internet. They have a client access system on their site. I came across Dussault’s resume, while browsing the files section. Now, I know you’re all curious about Valve’s in-house development, but I’m only going to talk about the Half-Life series.
“According to his resume, Episode Three was put on hold when Valve decided to move away from the episodic model in late 2007, right after Episode Two’s release. He was a technical advisor on a cancelled Half-Life title, made outside of the company. Dussault’s work on Half-Life 3?s world programming, and the scripting system (between 2008 and 2010) is also mentioned in the resume.” from the Steam forums, but the Mike Dussault mentioned in the post is actually a former Valve employee who left the developer last year.
Lambda Generation speculates that the “canceled Half-Life title, made outside the company” mentioned in the post is a mystery project known as “Half-Life 2: Episode Four” that was supposedly a spin-off from the main series being made by EA. Legit? No clue, but it’s an interesting thought.
We’ve reached out to Valve for an official statement on this rumor, but let it be known that my official stance is, “PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
