someone wanna remind me why valve decided to do episodic gaming here?

By then HL2 is old news..
HL2 itself was Bleh and the episodes were even worse. They need to make a game that stands out again like Half Life 1 when it came out. HL2 should have been called "the adventures of gravity gun man"
Because half life 3 would have taken 6 years to make?

6 years to add 5-6 hours of gemeplay, to an already aging engine
and, this engine has seen better days. Unless they overhaul it, it won't hold up to 2010.
If Valve did that they would fall into the Duke Nukem Forever cycle. Their games take so long that they either release an incomplete game with a semi current engine. Or they keep overhauling engine indefinitely.

If we assume that Episodes 1-3 make up Half Life 3, we already have about 12 hours worth from Episodes 1 & 2 (if you're not a pussy that plays on easy mode)
I'm quite sure that such a delay will allow a much longer game. You're just spreading BS since you're anti-Valve.
Who cares about the engine? It's all about the art and craftsmanship, and as such TF2 and Episode 2 were two of the most visually striking and distinct games last year.
Half Life 2 took 6 years and was a long game, at least 12 hours gameplay.

And Episode 2 has nothing of "visually striking". Episode 1 was quite a bit different visually, than plain old HL2, but Episode 2 had almost nothing over Episode 1, in terms of visuals. TF2 only wins in character designs/models and that's it.
You guys can't wait 2 years for a game? That's quite sad.
