What is the "can't count to three" joke about here? Did they skip supporting M2 or something?
Looks like its called M2 Episode 1, which is an alternative name for M3. But this is just the article title? I don't think they know how the "can't count to three"-joke by Valve works either.^^
I think it refers to Valve Software never releasing the third game in their series, like Half-Life 3 and Team Fortress 3.
That's usually how "can't count to three" jokes work, but this is clearly an announcement about someone successfully releasing a #3 of something. I don't get it.
It makes internal sense because they named the blog-post without using 3.
But it doesn't make sense to me either, because they are releasing the 3rd of something, and i have no context re: why they wouldn't count to 3, unlike with valve.
