[QUOTE=Pilk;22140608]Robin's a really nice guy. He replied to an email of mine thanking me for my TF2 contributions after sending me a community weapon and congratulating me on my Australianness. Also it turns out we grew up in a similar area. :h:[/QUOTE] What what? Robin is Aussie? I didn't now that? Also, which part of Aus is this?

[/quote] [quote] ---------- My e-mail: ---------- Is alyx secretly the companion cube guarding a golden gman powered by GLaDOS using pills as a secret ninja spy to assassinate the king of aces? ---------- Gabe's response: ---------- Every time you post a dumbass question like this, episode 3 gets delayed another 6 months. Good job. [/quote]

Fuck. You. The Microsoft one made me giggle though. Too bad it was a very short lived giggle.

[QUOTE=Xenoyia;22142036]dumb dumb dumb hurp durr[/QUOTE] Okay, smart guy, now post an image.

[QUOTE=teeheeV2;22140812]What what? Robin is Aussie? I didn't now that? Also, which part of Aus is this?[/QUOTE] You didn't know that Robin is Australian? Anyway... regional Victoria.

[QUOTE=teeheeV2;22140812] I don't get it[/QUOTE] Then you don't get sarcastic humour. [editline]02:35AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Pilk;22148145]You didn't know that Robin is Australian? Anyway... regional Victoria.[/QUOTE] I should go stalk him sometime.

Dr. Random: WHo?! AshtonArdoin: I am Ashton Ardoin AshtonArdoin: Who are you? Dr. Random: Dr. Random, apparently AshtonArdoin: Well, that's indeed Random Dr. Random: No I'm not sure I had a response Dr. Random: What's going on Dr. Random: Why'd you add me AshtonArdoin: Because I have a mission for you Dr. Random Dr. Random: Does it involve saving the world? Dr. Random: That would just be asking too much AshtonArdoin: The world is at stake, my dear medical physican of randomness, but no, the world would not be altered. Dr. Random: North korea vs south korea? The iraq war? Famine? Plague? Nuclear explosions? AshtonArdoin: No. AshtonArdoin: Something much bigger. Dr. Random: I knew it was too hard. AshtonArdoin: Much stronger. AshtonArdoin: Much more diffucult. Dr. Random: That's what she said LOL!!!! AshtonArdoin: I'm starting to question my trust in this agent. Dr. Random: Did you want hired help or did you want free help? There's a distinct difference AshtonArdoin: Trust me. My offer will be sufficent to your tastes. Dr. Random: Alright alright AshtonArdoin: See, there are two options. AshtonArdoin: 1.) You obey, serve, do not question. AshtonArdoin: or 2.) AshtonArdoin: You die Dr. Random: Now this sounds serious! Dr. Random: Are we getting jiggy with it AshtonArdoin: I am hoping you mean an exam of similarity. AshtonArdoin: Back on topic, the mission you will recieve AshtonArdoin: Is to infiltrate the Valve headquarters, get past the the security dogs, dodge the flying disks of death, avoid the lava pit, do rigorous puzzles until you reach the ultimate goal. AshtonArdoin: The case AshtonArdoin: which contains another case Dr. Random: Kill gabe with a bullet made of lard? My god. Dr. Random: Ingenious. AshtonArdoin: Inside this case is top secret AshtonArdoin: Open said case and our extermanation team will find you once you have left Valve headquarters. AshtonArdoin: Do you accept the challenge Dr. Random: What if I have some questions first AshtonArdoin: Then you die. AshtonArdoin: Unless the questions aren't revealing anything secret Dr. Random: Are you angry they nerfed the pyro? Because see, this vicious vengeance would explain everything. AshtonArdoin: My dear doctor, this is of much higher importance than a mere Team Fortress 2 patch. AshtonArdoin: I'll test your logic, what do you think is inside the black case inside of 1st black case. Dr. Random: A black case. AshtonArdoin: No, the chain of cases ends there. AshtonArdoin: Guess again. AshtonArdoin: You have 2 more guesses. Dr. Random: DIAMONDS. Dr. Random: A big mac? AshtonArdoin: Your immature jokes about Gabe's weight have nothing to do with it. AshtonArdoin: And diamonds are too cheap for Valve. Dr. Random: Okay okay. Instructions to a device that will end the world, and/or a replicator that will only be used to mass produce fast food. AshtonArdoin: Wrong and Wrong. AshtonArdoin: Think, boy, what is the most important thing to Valve as a whole? AshtonArdoin: What made them succesful? Dr. Random: A DISK CONTAINING EPISODE 3 AshtonArdoin: I've revealed too much. AshtonArdoin: You must be exterminated. AshtonArdoin: Have a nice day. Dr. Random: See you on the other side brother AshtonArdoin: Your time has come, Mister Random. AshtonArdoin has changed their name to Government Man. Government Man: Have fun. Not really funny or an email, but I thought this was a Valve employee until he insulted Gabe. I had fun.

Oh god, I love Valve. [img]http://imgur.com/uSV8S.png[/img]

[QUOTE=Pilk;22148145]You didn't know that Robin is Australian? Anyway... regional Victoria.[/QUOTE] Which part of Regional Victoria do you know? I have family all over there.

I still haven't received a response from Gabe. I wonder why.

Trey, you are awesome.

I'ma just say that this made my day. :v: [img]http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k92/Aska49/faget.jpg[/img] Video: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0Vs3593h3A[/media]

[QUOTE=Korolev86;22033225]I asked Gabe what version of Half-life 1 will be available for Mac. Source, of course![/QUOTE] If by 'source' you mean HL:Source than what the fuck are you talking about? HL: Source is garbage compared to the original. Why? No mods for source.

[QUOTE=Lazor;11915776]I'm going to paraphrase. There was a topic about a Steam themepark. Someone emails the idea to Gabe. He responds with, "And all the shops would serve only sandwiches" Something like that anyway.[/QUOTE] Wow, I'm a bit late, but I sent this email to Gabe about a year ago, and I used to have the picture(on my old computer), which now belongs to my brother. I emailed gabe a suggestion someone here posted about a VALVe amusement park... I'll go see if I can find the picture. [editline]08:38PM[/editline] Here it is :D [img_thumb]http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/3797/valve.png[/img_thumb]

Well, that was huge. Anyone predict what anyone from Valve would answer if the question was: what new Valve game will be released after Portal 2, and when? Maybe this could be a potential loophole on Episode Three?

[QUOTE=npx190;22207750]Anyone predict what anyone from Valve would answer if the question was: what new Valve game will be released after Portal 2, and when[/QUOTE] "Wait and see."

Gotta admit, the guys at Valve has some pretty good humor. Most "Bigshot" game companies wouldn't even have replied.

We love them and they love our monies so they have to love us back. :razz:

what is robin walker's e-mail? [editline]06:17PM[/editline] what I sent to gabe (most prob stupid) "To the gentleman named Gabe... As a gentlemannly gentlemann, I must beseach thee, the only way to improve your games (which are the epitome of exictment) is to bring in the noblest item a gentlemann can own...HATS! Who does not want to be the dashing Gentlemann Freeman, batting away the evil hat-hating aliens with a magnificant microwave cassero.... I mean crowbar. So, my question is... Can there be an update that adds hats to every valve game?" (did I overuse the gentlmannley word gentlemann?)

[QUOTE=Sumguy21!;12037867]Sent: Is Left 4 Dead coming out for PS3? Replied: We don't plan to do this for our [b]first release[/b]. Sent: Good[/QUOTE] I wonder if this came to anybody that they were going to make a squeal.

someone send them a link to this thread.

How long does it take for them to reply? I sent an email a few days ago and still don't have a reply... If anyone is curious, here is the email, and no, it isn't a joke one: [QUOTE] What happened to all those hate comments about the PS3? Heh. Sony paying you a big wad of cash or something? Or did you experience an epiphany whilst you were porting Steam to the Mac? Well, I just have to say, that I am amazed. I have played Steam games on my PC for years. I am really excited about Steam coming to the PS3, as I have one, and I am scared that my computer is becoming too outdated for your games, but then... Gabe to the rescue! Heh. I have a few questions though. Number 1. Does this mean we can finally download full size games through the PS3? Or are the games fully disc based? I am really hoping for it to work by downloads. Number 2. Does the PS3 version have all the features of the PC version? As in Mouse/Keyboard support, the "console" menu, and possibly even mods? I question about mods because of: Valve has sent along a press release confirming Steamworks integration in the PS3 version -- the only console version featuring that functionality, actually -- providing the game with "auto updates, community features, downloadable content, and more." I noticed the "Community Features". And if it can support mods, does it support the PC modding tools? Number 3. What will the quality of the graphics be? As in, what the in-game options for the PC would be for the PS3? I am kinda talking in riddles. What I mean is what is the quality relating to the PC? "High", "Medium" "Low", etc Number 4. Will games bought on the PC be able to play on the PS3 if that game is ported? And vice-versa? So if I buy Portal 2 on the PS3/PC, will they be on the other platform as well, without needing to buy an extra copy? And will there be and cross-platform play? Number 5. Does Steam work side-by-side with the Playstation network, or not? So do I need to be logged in to the Playstation network to use steam? Number 6. Is Steam a "background" program that runs from when you turn the PS3 on (like PSN, which stays on whilst you play games, etc), or is it more like an icon you press? Number 7. Will Steam support/be supported by the remote play feature, which would allow us to download/pay for games, etc without needing to go directly on the PS3 to do it? Number 8. If the answer to No.6 is that it is a background program, will we be able to chat cross-game, a feature wanted for the PS3 for ages? So if I am playing Portal 2, will my friends who are playing Team Fortress 2 be able to chat cross game with me? And will it have the ability to work for non-valve games, like MW2 or others? Number 9. If you have the Orange Box for PS3 already, do you need to re-buy it or does it detect it, allowing you to get updates, and the such? I never bought it, as have it on PC, and never really thought about it, though I am just wondering. Number 10. Are you a headcrab who invaded Valve and jumped on Gabes head? And if so, where can I buy one of these "human head" hats? [/QUOTE]

I've sent Gabe an e-mail saying [quote]When isn't the Team Fortress 2 update not coming out?[/quote] I also asked him why he replies to these messages, and linked him to this thread. Hope he replies!!

Someone post this to Gabe. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w0KIjbNQTI&feature=related[/media]

I emailed Valve asking who manufactures Pyros. Will post the reply later.
