[QUOTE=.FLAP.JACK.DAN.;38538282]You sound like a creep.[/QUOTE] It's because I am one. [editline]21st November 2012[/editline] Actually it's because I have really poor social skills, so it often comes off as creepy.

I love how your last name is blocked out twice, but not the third time.

Got this from the Linux thread, guess it should be here too: [img]http://i.imgur.com/qLE1Q.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Demonkahh;38550669]I love how your last name is blocked out twice, but not the third time.[/QUOTE] Godammit. I also don't want people to know that I live at 3950 Mack Rd, Sacramento, CA, 95823.

I emailed them from my gmail acc bout 2 days ago (Alyssah). Haven't had a reply yet, should I be worried ? Only asking as I see some people getting replied to in a couple hours :v:

I might e-mail Alyssah and ask when they're going to restock Archimedes, and possibly the Dota 2 shirts. edit: checked the store, dota 2 shirts are in stock, asking about steam gift cards then!

Damn you missed it, there was 50 in stock on the 16th. They sell out very quickly. I'll try notify you when they come back in stock.

they sell steam cards at best buy now, in case you didn't know

wow what the fuck i just came in here to post that

Curious, who are my options if I want to email the TF2 team? I'm not entirely sure who is working on it anymore.

[QUOTE=Uesrname;38593786]Curious, who are my options if I want to email the TF2 team? I'm not entirely sure who is working on it anymore.[/QUOTE] Pretty sure that'd be Robin.

[QUOTE=Chaotic Lord;38594650]Pretty sure that'd be Robin.[/QUOTE] From what I understand Robin is more focused on Dota 2 at the moment, so the contact form for the TF Team that En Ex posted would be the best way.

Why does every developer at Valve begin their sentences with "So," during interviews?

[QUOTE=artDecor;38610642]Why does every developer at Valve begin their sentences with "So," during interviews?[/QUOTE] Its most likely because of personal preference, it isn't just Valve developers that structure their answers on "So".

Got a reply from Alyssa, she said I can send in a poster with return postage paid and they'll all sign it. I'm not bothered, I expected this seeing I'm in AUS. Bloody hell I'm excited.

This has probably been said before, but I nearly crapped myself when I saw this thread had been around since 2008. Ah, 08. That was back when people were expecting episode 3 to get there in about a year. Oh, the humanity.

I do remember emailing a while back one of the employees of value requesting some information of the events between Half life 1 and Half life 2, I don't have the document anymore since those hard-drives crashed and were [B]unrecoverable[/B]. [B]-Edit[/B] Since then I've since taken apart those drives to make a turntable and a grinder out of them.

Just took a look at that page and realized Alien Swarm isn't listed, their 2010 release.

I don't really consider Alien Swarm a real "release" in terms of company history. It was more of a side project some of the devs wanted to do for fun. Similar to when one of the New Vegas devs released a mod for the game a few months after release. [editline]2nd December 2012[/editline] That's just my opinion though, sorry if I made that sound like an objective statement.

E. Sawyer's project is a mod that required the base game, due to how it operated (stat alteration, gameplay functionality, etc). Your reasoning probably matches Valve's.

I know it's too late for this year, but does anyone know who I'd email regarding the Saxxies?

I emailed her randomly for no real reason just to be random :| [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/QSknt.png[/IMG] [editline]6th December 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=En Ex;38682658][URL="http://www.valvesoftware.com/email.php?recipient=TF+Team"]TF Team.[/URL][/QUOTE] It may also be the SFM Team. Or a Branch of their own mixed.
