This week, Luke gives a dire prediction in taking a rational look at one of the most famous video games that never happened (and probably won't), Half-Life 3. He talks about how it would be impossible for Half-Life 3 to meet player expectations, even given unlimited time and budget, and he explores where Valve is now and, as a business, how they can only stand to lose by letting it be anything but a perfect game in everyone's heads.

He breaks the hard truth that maybe, just maybe, we're better off without it.

Serious Sunday is a freeform, sometimes roundtable discussion between the members of Level 0 NPCs, where a specific topic is pre-selected by the group to be explored and discussed at length. Each of the NPCs approach the topic from both the perspective of a seasoned, die-hard gamer, and as creators of games themselves. Part freeform review, part critical analysis, part video game book club, Serious Sunday is where the NPCs take a step back and take a moment to give a serious look at something that is important to the industry, or games in general.
