    Could Valve's Next Big Bet Backfire?

    In this episode of the Nerd Nest podcast, the hosts discuss their recent activities and the games they've been playing. They talk about the challenges of finding time to record the podcast due to personal commitments. Russ shares his excitement about his upcoming trip to Germany for a retro gaming weekend. Rich talks about his experience playing the new Doom and Doom 2, highlighting the improvements in graphics and gameplay. Bill shares his thoughts on the Halo Master Chief Collection and Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. The hosts also briefly discuss a leak about Valve's new wireless technology for transmitting information between devices. The conversation covers various topics including VR gaming, Valve's potential new VR headset, the usage of VR headsets, the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, system requirements for God of War Ragnarok and Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2, and the possibility of a new Half-Life game. The conversation revolves around the possibility of Valve working on Half-Life 3 and the preference between Half-Life 3 and Portal 3. The hosts discuss the credibility of the rumors and their personal desires for the next installment in the Half-Life series. They also touch on the topic of mini consoles and the potential for future emulation consoles that can read original game discs. The conversation concludes with a discussion about the ROG AliEx and Steam Deck handheld gaming devices. "It's been like weeks now since we've actually recorded an episode." "It's just like people getting together to play retro games." "Every release of Doom and Doom 2 has been amazing." "I don't wanna get it out and plug it in and put it on my head and move my coffee table out of the way and all of that other stuff that always stops me from playing VR." "And when they're ready, I'm ready." "So have you not beaten Half-Life Alyx then?" "Valve is working on Half-Life 3? I believe that, absolutely." "What if this turns into like aperture desktop too, right? Like black Mesa desk job." "Half-Life 3 is in the same bucket as Winds of Winter from George RR Martin and Doors of Stone from Patrick Rothfuss."
