How awesome would it be if this were a promotional tie-up of some kind... like, NVIDIA launches the gtx 690 and bundles it with free download keys for the upcoming launch of HL2: Episode 3?

Very awesome - but if you've read the news about "ricochet 2" it seems exceedingly unlikely.
 
Guys, it's -not- HL3

Do you really think valve/NV would take the time and trouble to put together a launch/announcement like that and then use a completely wrong crow bar?


No way. The fanboys would eat them alive.
 
FYI, those crowbars are likely to be used to open a wooden crate or something similar.

I guess the 590 was "revealed" in ammo cans marked "top secret" so it's possible this time around they'll be using wooden crates.

If that's the case, I would actually be very surprised if it's anything BUT the 690 (be it BigK or a dual-GPU card) - I don't think they'd have that kind of media launch/reveal for a 670.

If it's not HL2: EP3 then judging by the "zombie" reference on the crowbar, maybe it's Left4Dead 3 or some other zombie game...

As much as it would be great, I don't see it happening.
Wrong type of crowbar, wrong color to boot. 😉

The zombies thing, I think, is just a play on the crowbar reference in general.
More importantly, that's why they say "zombies, or..." and half the Nvidia logo after that. That same half logo was also displayed on the 590 box/crate used for the press reveal. Not sure if they'd used that approach at any other time (quite possible), but usually they use the full logo for anything/everything, as opposed to that fancy splash of only a part of the logo.

HL3 should be sometime in the next year or two, I'd reckon. 😉
