The "I EMAILED SOMEBODY AT VALVE!" thread, post your questions and replies here - Games

[QUOTE=Raijin;37674956]i want free stuff but don't wanna sound like a selfish dick when asking advice?[/QUOTE] Ask if you can send something in to get autographed. That way, it's your item, but coolified by Valve.

will they pay for postage?

[QUOTE=Raijin;37674990]will they pay for postage?[/QUOTE] No idea. I've never sent anything to them, but lots of people in this thread have. I'm guessing Valve pays the postage when returning the item to you, but I could be wrong.

Would they sign the ps2 version of hl1?

[QUOTE=Sharker;37675194]Would they sign the ps2 version of hl1?[/QUOTE] They will sign your soul if you can pry it out.

[QUOTE=En Ex;37675380]They will sign your soul if you can pry it out.[/QUOTE] I have a bag of salted cashews that are signed by Gabe Newell.

Someone needs to make a mod surrounding Valve HQ. During your tour of Valve, Xen aliens start popping up and begin attacking the staff. Find the experimental displacement reversal tech before everyone is killed, and the rights to Half Life are bought by EA!

[QUOTE=Chaotic Lord;37678223]I have a bag of salted cashews that are signed by Gabe Newell.[/QUOTE]Wait, why did Gabe Newell sign your salty nutbag?

[QUOTE=SL128;37705147]Wait, why did Gabe Newell sign your salty nutbag?[/QUOTE] Because he loves me.

Nuts Hot nuts Anybody else wanna sign my nuts

I'm not sure if this has been answered. But if I'm ordering something from the Valve store is there any way to get it signed? or is it shipped from elsewhere.

Hey, so, I've never really E-mailed Valve before but I'm doing a research project for school and I need a mentor. I'm doing the essay on Game Design, so I figured it'd be pretty cool to have someone from Valve be my mentor. How do I go about asking? Like what E-mail should I use and whatnot?

[QUOTE=ben1066;37800026]I'm not sure if this has been answered. But if I'm ordering something from the Valve store is there any way to get it signed? or is it shipped from elsewhere.[/QUOTE] 3rd party distribution. It's shipped by another company who manage the warehouse.

[QUOTE=Ctrl+Alt+Llama;37805215]3rd party distribution. It's shipped by another company who manage the warehouse.[/QUOTE] Can I get it sent directly to Valve to sign?

[QUOTE=ben1066;37807523]Can I get it sent directly to Valve to sign?[/QUOTE] Go Ask Mary.

I sent off another e-mail to Mary since it was my birthday last sunday, fingers crossed she'll respond this time

Did anyone ask them about Black Mesa yet?

[QUOTE=HetsuProcyon;37822240]I sent off another e-mail to Mary since it was my birthday last sunday, fingers crossed she'll respond this time[/QUOTE] Nothing :smith:

[QUOTE=ben1066;37807523]Can I get it sent directly to Valve to sign?[/QUOTE] Best just getting them to send you it signed for free.

I sent Mary an email asking for Gabe's autograph. Let's see what happens...

[QUOTE=Glorbo;37830865]Did anyone ask them about Black Mesa yet?[/QUOTE] Well, there is this snippit, from [URL="http://www.vg247.com/2012/09/28/valve-interview-i-just-told-gabe-he-was-full-of-shit/"]a recent interview with Chet[/URL]: [quote][B]Black Mesa Source. Have you played it? What do you think?[/B] Yeah it’s cool because there’s so many memories that just come flooding back. The last time I played Half-Life was before we worked on Half-Life 2: Episode Two. There’s that bit where you’re walking around the White Forest base and there are scientists talking to you, saying the same things from the start of the original Half-Life. That was an inside joke, but I hadn’t played it since Black Mesa Source, so it’s cool to go back, plus it has excellent graphics that’s for sure. [B]I can’t imagine a world where Activision say, would allow a fan remake of Call of Duty 4. That would get shot down the second the first screenshot went out. Why is it important to be that open and to allow people to do things like Black Mesa Source?[/B] Why wouldn’t we? But I guess you’d have to convince me of the benefits to the other side, because to me, this feels like pretty common sense. [B]It’s mainly companies protecting their interests and blocking anything that could tarnish the reputation of their products.[/B] Well let’s say that Black Mesa Source turned out horrible. It’s not going to hurt the original Half-Life. [B]Because it still remains.[/B] Yeah exactly, and it’s interesting to play and to see what parts they kept the same and in what ways they went in and changed things.[/quote]

It isn't exactly a response, but I emailed gaben about steam mobile 1 or 2 weeks back steam mobile just got update

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;38068653]It isn't exactly a response, but I emailed gaben about steam mobile 1 or 2 weeks back steam mobile just got update[/QUOTE] no update for android :/

my sister drew this funny picture of the scout. i told her we should send it to valve. i sent it by snail mail about a week ago. i don't care if i receive a response or anything at this point but i certainly hope that it reaches them. maybe i'll also send the ones she drew using my tablet. they're hilariously bad.

Mary replied to a message I sent to Gabe, my friends getting some stuff.

I have an idea Somebody in the US send Mary free stuff :v:

[QUOTE=geogzm;38218575]I have an idea Somebody in the US send Mary free stuff :v:[/QUOTE] Like, say, a bunch of crowbars?

I have a box of hats and a clay tiger that I need to get around to sending.

why don't WE sign something, and send it to them?
