It seems so easy, and go, what would I give for an autographed poster...

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;29690622]Because you're in UK and it costs more to ship out to there than it does in the US[/QUOTE] I'm in Poland, and they are still sending me it for free.

Does Erik Wolpaw actually have a company address, and choose not to have it publicly on the website? If he does, am I right in assuming it's [email]erikw@valvesoftware.com[/email]?

I got an article about Valve in an issue of DEVELOP, should I scan it?

I sent off a message to Chet today, Got a response in like 10 minutes, was pretty cool [quote=me]Hey Chet. I have been meaning to write this for a week or two now. I just wanted to say, I have been playing valve games since the original Half-Life, I still have my original 1998 copy somewhere around here, I have played every single one of your games and have not hated one, Sure there was Ricochet but when with other players that was still enjoyable, but that's not what talking about. I just wanted to say that you guys have developed the greatest games I have ever played. The detail you put into your games is immense, you are one of the only true game developers now-a-days, I also love how cryptic your work is but when people work it out, how amazing it becomes. I just really wanted to say, you guys are amazing, that is all. By the way, Portal 2 is the second greatest game I have ever played. The first being Half-life, not sure which one in the series though. [/quote] then he sent back this [quote=Chet]Second greatest game? You waited two weeks for the second greatest game? What is third?[/quote] So I sent back this: [quote=Me]X3: Terran Conflict. Heavy fan of the X Series.[/quote] and got this: [quote=Chet]Wrong answer, wrong answer.[/quote] ... Oops.

[QUOTE=wingless;29696159]I sent off a message to Chet today, Got a response in like 10 minutes, was pretty cool then he sent back this So I sent back this: and got this: ... Oops.[/QUOTE] Shoulda said L4D2.

[QUOTE=howling techie;29697068]FP exclusive: HL2:Ep3 currently set to be released November 2012.[/QUOTE] I was just thinking that. Would be awesome if that really was a slip of tongue that told us something useful about the release date :buddy:

I emailed them about shipping in my Half Life 1 Box'n'instructions for them too sign 3 days ago. No reply ;_;

Looking at this thread, it does seem that asking Valve for autographed stuff, is easy as pie… :raise: Must… resist… urge… to… email… Valve…

[QUOTE=Gordon Frohm;29698404]Looking at this thread, it does seem that asking Valve for autographed stuff, is easy as pie… :raise: Must… resist… urge… to… email… Valve…[/QUOTE] I would, but I doubt they'd bother sending anything over to New Zealand :saddowns:.

[QUOTE=Keggs;29700426]I would, but I doubt they'd bother sending anything over to New Zealand :saddowns:.[/QUOTE] It's easier than Egypt :smithicide:

[QUOTE=red_pharoah;29701171]It's easier than Egypt :smithicide:[/QUOTE] It's easier than Russia. :suicide:

Not really, Egyptian cargo care-takers at airports do not take care of cargo properly.

[QUOTE=red_pharoah;29702797]Not really, Egyptian cargo care-takers at airports do not take care of cargo properly.[/QUOTE] Yeah really, considering Valve won't even bother to send anything here in the first place. :colbert:

Hope you guys enjoy your stuff, I know I sure did/

[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;29702917]Hey, they're sending things to me and I live in WALES WALES Don't give up hope.[/QUOTE] That was my point... VALVe will probably send things anywhere, but in my case they'll probably be broken at the airport.

[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;29702917]Hey, they're sending things to me and I live in WALES WALES Don't give up hope.[/QUOTE] There's hope yet. Also Wales ftw

Smashman what do you have against me?

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;29703603]Smashman what do you have against me?[/QUOTE] Hah, every post I see from you is rated dumb by Smashman ever since he said he didn't get as many things as you did from Valve. Funny stuff.

[QUOTE=Artyom;29703715]Hah, every post I see from you is rated dumb by Smashman ever since he said he didn't get as many things as you did from Valve. Funny stuff.[/QUOTE] No kidding, I smell jealousy from him

[QUOTE=Artyom;29703715]Hah, every post I see from you is rated dumb by Smashman ever since he said he didn't get as many things as you did from Valve. Funny stuff.[/QUOTE] No, it's a longer searing hatred than that. Though that didn't help things.

[QUOTE=Smashman;29703924]No, it's a longer searing hatred than that. Though that didn't help things.[/QUOTE] So you deal with your "hatred" by rating EVERYTHING dumb? GOOD IDEA.
