# hype life 3 confirmed the garme in what ways does half life 3 exist andor not? consider you're already living and playing in a post(/modern) half life 3 era - that there seems a way in which garme experiences like hl3 are not only already 'confirmed' but already in the complex process of being actively played by a large passionate userbase that is by simply pretending that (for example) "half life 3" exists - or even (/unconsciously) pretending to pretend - one might already somehow be playing "half life 3" there seems a way in which it doesn't matter too much whether "the real half life 3 by valve" is released or not - discussions about it appear to be a fully functioning online social garme space - its very own (diffused) reality / simulation we might call such a garme "hype life 3 confirmed" there appears a mass psychological (emergent) need to confirm the existence of hl3 to state in varied ways the varied ways it is isn't or might exist. such a practice feels like a cross between conceptual art mmorpgs and alternative to reality garmes - a form of garming that might be termed verisimilitudinal (as in very similar-to's) hl3c seems to be a persistent potential garme a garme of potentials - ideas and concepts continually evolving and floating around (/as) online with strange life and momentum - a garme system of hopes ideals and expectations - vivid imaginings not longer does the old expectation equation of (progress * valve-time) / (expectations + expectations * valve-time) apply - playing hl3c everyone gets the hl3 they (/think or imagine they) want or need simultaneously - maybe even if they don't want or need it just like hl3 in the distributed hive minds of flans many definitive versions of hl3c exist. rather than endlessly wait for some garming hypercorp to create the second coming of freeman consider how 'endlessly waiting for some garming hypercorp to create the second coming of freeman' might be an expression of hl3c garmeplay - part of the incredibly complex holographic network of emotions truths and illusions which makes up the semi transparent biodigital polyverses of social dream spaces like hl3 so rather than just saying "*pffff* half-life 3 will never release!" also consider such statements yet another part of teh garme / virtual experience one can play with(/in) - ignore respond to or modify indeed the active garme state of "hype life 3 confirmed" may apply to any number of other garmes or concepts that involve or require wish-fulfillment media / hype social confirmation or mass reality simulation to exist // republic of bob
