Is Valve Software up to something?

I spotted pictures of this and this while forum lurking today. Is this what it think it is? Is Duke still alive? If so, then they may be releasing possibly the most hyped piece of vaporware known to man. And they're releasing it one day after the biggest game show around. If this happens, the Internet will explode.
Here's some funny.

Akihabara Majokko Princess

Kirsten Dunst, Takeshi Murakami, and McG fly to Japan, and they make this.

Chatroulette

Anyone tried this site out yet? I found this Atlantic article about it, and though it in no way compels me to try what seems like an ego destroying trap of 4chan proportions, I still like the idea of a site that randomly selects a chat partner for you, and you can't apply any filters to the random selection.
After reading the article, though, I was left with the image of this service being like a shitty high school RPG and each Chatroulette interaction is the equivalent of your hero person talking with a random student, but most of them are dudes and one in ten is an erect cock.

Oh, yeah, and happy TWO THOUSAND posts and comments. I don't know how we made it this far without one Goatse or shitting dick nipple.

Maynard James Keenan makes wine, movie

Yep, the golden age of the documentary is finally squatting out its shit, with Blood into Wine.
If not for the copious molly coddling and toadying in the trailer, I might have wanted to torrent or NF the movie. It does have a crazy-eyed Mila Jovovich is in it, however, thinner than ever, and you all know how much I like crazy, crazy-skinny girls.
I do kinda want to drink his wine, though.

AIDS is a Myth, say new film and Researchers

Additionally, fuck science and twenty five years of research.
Now, I'm all for sowing a little chaos and questioning established thought, but doesn't this seem like going a bit too far to be a contrarian? I can't help but compare AIDS deniers to the kooks who still think America never went to the Moon in '69.

Ninja Sex Party

I want to like this, but something about it sticks a cold spike of loathing between my ribs and tears into my liver. It's funny, but funny like a clown being raped, or a clown raping someone.

4chan's Moot to deliver speech at February's TED conference

Apparently creating a website that spawns shitting dick nipples is enough to make others think you're profound.

Twilight Explained

Pants and the mythical creature formula.

This smells like the Publix fish counter three weeks into the Zombie Apocalypse

Remember that census worker who was murdered back in September, the one with "FED" scrawled on his chest...
