As we mentioned earlier, Valve head man Gabe Newell picked up his Pioneer Award at the Games Developers Choice Awards on Thursday night. Some people thought we might get another new Portal 2 viral dealie during his acceptance speech, and they were not disappointed in the least. Near the end of Newell's speech, a "Blue Screen of Death" showed up behind him.

Except that the screen seems to be a little . . different than your typical error message. The folks in the Portal 2 message boards on Steam as well as the Penny Arcade message boards have been trying to decipher what that error message really means. Their conclusion? The decoded message reads, "Suspend until E3." That sounds like we may have to wait until mid-June for more Portal 2 info. Newell also chatted briefly with 1Up.com following the awards ceremony and stated that Portal 2 is "the best game we've ever done." He also gave a big hint that a certain songwriter might return for the puzzle-action game sequel.
