More Onion Ring Evidence Hints At Half-Life 3

Update: There is no way this is a coincidence. Just five months ago, a first Half-Life onion ring appeared online. Now there is another. This one looks much tastier.

With E3 only a week away, this could be Valve's elaborate way of building excitement for an announcement.

Some people see The Virgin Mary or Jesus Christ in their food. Gamers see Half-Life 3.

Reddit user and clever username creator ScubaBuddha posted the most convincing evidence I have seen to date of a Half-Life 3, or a Half-Life 2: Episode 3, or a Half-Life 4 (I think they may just skip three altogether) announcement waiting in the wings. Food, especially ringed shaped food, doesn't just randomly turn into something that vaguely resembles a Half-Life logo. You cannot deny that Gabe Newell had his hand in this in some way. And by, "you cannot deny," I mean I will go through the comments section and delete any comments that say that this has nothing to do with a new Half-Life.

  • Of course! Now it all makes sense...
  • Holy crap. This is by far the single biggest evidence to date. I mean. The quality of the Half-Life series is undeniable and who doesn't like onion rings? It's a clear message.
  • Of course! Half-Life goes hand in hand with onion rings! It's the perfect sign!

    *EDIT* And I love the tag, "funyuns smell weird".
  • OF COURSE!!! I get the exact same feeling when i eat onion rings as i do when i play half life. It all makes sense now.

  • LOL!!!! THIS IS FREAKING HILARIOUS!! Video games have grown so much, even an onion ring drive conspiracy theorists!! (I bet you there is that one crazy @ss loyal fan that is going crazy over this thinking Half-Life 3 is going to happen)
  • I saw Gordon Freeman in my toast
  • I think this article wins for "Best headline ever written".

  • What if the teaser is their releasing Half-life logos in everything food related.
  • THE TIME HAS COME. GORDON FREEMAN WILL BE HERE SHORTLY!!!

    THE MESSIAH WILL RESPAWN!
  • Ow now there just tezing us
  • Well, if a blurry photo on Reddit of what might be an onion ring doesn't convince you that it's happening, nothing will. But, we all know it's coming soon.
  • thats pretty awesome! i just got the orange box a couple weeks ago just because of all the talk/hype for HL3. gotta say now i understand why people love it! its my new favorite FPS! thanks for the recommendations internet!
  • The onion ring is a lie!
  • Who needs fortune telling cookies when you have onion rings to predict the release of a game

  • I thought it was a condom at first glance...
  • Gabe Newell was in the making of this....somehow.
  • I had to look a second time, 'cause I thought it was a condom!!
  • This has nothing to do with Half-Life.
  • Wow, video games and food these days. Call of Duty and Doritos, Uncharted and Subway, PSVita and Taco Bell.... Dang. What if the advertising blitz was "Buy a large-size onion rings at Burger King and enter for a chance to win a copy of Half-Life 3 Special Edition" or something?
  • Soooooooooo, slow news day? lol
