Don't get your hopes up, it'll be used in deadlock's volleyball game mode
It’s hilarious that I can’t tell if you’re being serious or not here
They do have a bouncing ball of about the right size in the beta. I was thinking basketball though.
Valve is working on a game codenamed HLX that apparently uses a ton of physics features. No idea what "HLX" means though.
Considering the years, that X must mean we're skipping straight to ten! Gabe is a former MS employee, so of course counting problems are cropping up occasionally.

Hope!

Confirmed.
Halflife 2D confirmed?
Confirmed, released, and already forgotten. It was called "Codename: Gordon".
Day of Defeat Source 2.1 just a week away!
Is DoDS still going? I played the heck out of it around 2008/9, it was the best online experience I ever had thanks to the fantastic community.
This hobby version of Rubikon isn't open source then is it? I can't find anything obvious.
