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

[Kool Kids Klub]

So last month for an English project I had to send a letter to a company, so I picked Valve expecting nothing in return. Today I just got a reply with a "Aperature Science Innovators" t-shirt, a Scout keychain, and a Chell IPhone 4S Case.

<3 Valve

[cowsaysoink]

[H.Drescher]

Maybe if VALVe sees all of our signatures, they will try to find our steam names and give us precious goodies.

Or a picture, a picture would be neat too.

Fuck man, how much does the shipping to mid-Russia cost? I should save some money and then ask the dolphin lady for some presents.

Wait, really? I think it'll be worth the wait, because my Ubuntu disc came from Canonical in 3 months.

"Nice dolphin lady" takes care the the shipping and posting costs.

It's been over two and a half weeks and Mary still hasn't replied.
I'm starting to believe the rumor that Valve uses spam blockers to bock anything with "Episode 3" and/or "Half Life 3" might be true...

Its not a rumor.

What makes you so sure?

[QUOTE=Gen. Cornwaffle;36013309]What makes you so sure?[/QUOTE]

Ever see any recent E-mails TO gabe that has "Half life 3" or "Episode 3 in it ?
No? That's what makes me so sure.

[testinglol]

They also blocked the lambda symbol.

[Joey Skylynx]

I wonder if they blocked Day of Defeat as well... Which reminds me that I've been meaning to send out an email to ask if Day of Defeat, will ever get a sequel.

You don't see them because people don't post them on here.
They only post the fake responses.
I, myself, have sent some emails to Gabe with "Episode 3" in it; the last one with my ideas from page 68 of the Episode 3 Discussion thread.
I'm gonna edit my email to Mary without any "Episode 3" or "Half Life 2" things.

I can't believe this thread is so old and it hasn't reached the post limit yet

Considering I just bought a bunch of weird shit (nixie tubes and such) from Russia and shipping cost $10, and I'm in Arizona? About $10 for a package so I'd say a few American Dollars for some stuff. Not more than $20.

[Kirbyfactor]

How long did you guys have to wait for your goodies?

I've been waiting 3 weeks now, hope it comes in next week.

I fucking love Mary. Seriously, if I ever visit VALVe, my hug list is as follows: Gabe, Mary, Robin, Erik, and Mike Harrington.

...Good way to get a restraining order now that I think about it...

[General]

How much do you think Gabe earns in a year?

[Glitchvid]

[QUOTE=General;36049529]How much do you think Gabe earns in a year?[/QUOTE]

I don't think Gabe actually gets a contract pay like everybody else, I think he just takes whatever he needs whenever he needs it (like, one month he will transfer 5K from VALVe's account to his)
