Someone bought the domain name and set up a fake timer? Until there's some official confirmation that's the best thing to assume.

We're Bay12er's. If there is a bug, we will find it, exploit it, and make a recursive statue out of it. Just look up Planepacked.

When a dwarf enters a martial trance, they become Jedi. Short, drunken Jedi.

According to the whois lookup, it's owned by an Australian company, and therefore probably not related to Valve.

Besides, Valve's gotten good at setting up complex ARGs. And Ep3 is almost at DNF levels of anticipation. I'm betting the release of episode 3 will be heralded by a month-long ARG of epic proportions, not a countdown timer on a third-party website.



Still, we can hope, right?  8)

Hold on, I have just the quote for this...

Ah, here we are!

Episode 3 is sitting on Gabe's stomach.  He'll release it when he can grab it.  Every time you mention Episode 3 he eats an entire ham.

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

It may or may not be legit. Maybe Valve set this up to be a SUPA SECRET COUNTDOWN!!!

Or maybe troll.

Completely illegitimate. 100 percent. the web server lookup resolves to Lithuania, from a Hosting24.com account. Nothing to see here.
