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

[QUOTE=Mattey;35811848]as long as you're patient[/QUOTE] I had sent her a message during the afternoon (Central time) on Tuesday(it was mainly asking questions), and I still have yet to get a reply. Someone in the Episode 3 Discussion thread said [QUOTE]I was thinking they set their spam filters to block anything with "Episode 3" or "HL3" in it[/QUOTE] I was thinking, if that's true, then Gabe got none of my messages and neither did Mary. If that's so, I'll rewrite the letter to Mary, but leave out "Episode 3" in it. [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/funny2.png[/img] But I doubt that's true.

I mean I can understand [I]why[/I], but I'd be a little surprised if they really did that.

But they may have taken time off or something when I sent it.

OH SHIT SHE ACTUALLY ANSWERED. It's almost like she reads the thread.

[QUOTE=Maruhai;35830643]OH SHIT SHE ACTUALLY ANSWERED. It's almost like she reads the thread.[/QUOTE] Or she's just a genuinely nice person that handles the massive flux of emails/questions that Valve gets. Which I think is more accurate. She seems super nice!

So guys who can I e-mail at Valve who aren't Gabe who can answer some questions about gaming as a career choice. Chet? (If so; what's his e-mail?)

I know this isn't really relevant but [QUOTE=Gen. Cornwaffle;35826078][img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/funny2.png[/img][/QUOTE] You know you can use [noparse]":v:"[/noparse] right?

I sent her an e-mail asking if she could send some Portal goodies to help surprise my girlfriend for her birthday and our 6th month anniversary. I hope it works out.

Slightly related, FedEx just sent me an e-mail that my 16lb Valve STS package shipped :v:.

[QUOTE=Reimu;35871936]Slightly related, FedEx just sent me an e-mail that my 16lb Valve STS package shipped :v:.[/QUOTE] I think I know what's in that package... You are gonna be one lucky bastard if I'm right.

So, last year, you were asking Alison for free things, now you're asking Mary...

The "I EMAILED SOMEBODY AT VALVE!" v2: poor guys begging for free stuff edition

That's funny because I'm actually really poor IRL.

[QUOTE=Maruhai;35873995]That's funny because I'm actually really poor IRL.[/QUOTE] Yet you got more then 100 games on steam and got gold...

[QUOTE=Zar;35873683]The "I EMAILED SOMEBODY AT VALVE!" v2: poor guys begging for free stuff edition[/QUOTE] Valve store won't ship to Brazil, along with a lot of other countries, this has been said before. They also come signed to you, which is even more awesome.

[QUOTE=0lenny0;35874039]Yet you got more then 100 games on steam and got gold...[/QUOTE] I actually only have 70 steam games, including 60 from sales/bundles/gifts.

I e-mailed front desk and they are taking long to reply. I hope they reply at all, none of my e-mails have been replied to as of yet :(. Here is the e-mail in question [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/mix999/temp.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/mix999/SUMMERLAN.png[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Maruhai;35874121]I actually only have 70 steam games, including 60 from sales/bundles/gifts.[/QUOTE] Lets see, around €7 for gold, lets say those 10 games were around 10€ which gives us €100 and adding those other 60 games which we will price around €5 which in total gives us around [B]€407[/B]. Keep in mind that some of these games might have been allot more then €10. (i did this in € but you get the idea)

If I want my free stuff I want my free stuff, it's free for a reason ffs Doesn't matter if someone's rich they'll still ask for it because it's fucking valve we're talking about, it's awesome and FREE I'll never understand people who complain about other people getting free stuff

[QUOTE=Zar;35873683]The "I EMAILED SOMEBODY AT VALVE!" v2: poor guys begging for free stuff edition[/QUOTE] Dad won't let me buy stuff over the internet, so being a ninja and getting it free won't be a problem

[QUOTE=0lenny0;35874273]I don't really care, just pointed out that he is most likely not that poor.[/QUOTE] My bedroom is so small I can't even fit in its width if I try to lay down.

[QUOTE=Maruhai;35874484]My bedroom is so small I can't even fit in its width if I try to lay down.[/QUOTE] Having a small bedroom doesn't mean you're poor.

[QUOTE=Kirbyfactor;35874505]Having a small bedroom doesn't mean you're poor.[/QUOTE] It's the only bedroom of the house.

[QUOTE=Maruhai;35874518]It's the only bedroom of the house.[/QUOTE] True. Also, the stuff you guys got, was it in an envolope or in a big package?

[QUOTE=Reimu;35871936]Slightly related, FedEx just sent me an e-mail that my 16lb Valve STS package shipped :v:.[/QUOTE] Valve scares are off by 1lb or point something of a pound. So don't worry if it starts getting ligher on the way.

Valve Hammer Legion Members arguing that bedroom size determines wealth? My god. We REALLY need Half-Life 3, soon.

I dont have alot of money, and i aint begging. If you really want it you will pay for it. Dont take it just because its free.
