[QUOTE=glitchvid;36049728]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)[/QUOTE] That's how it works.

Pretty cool

I actually sent a email to Mary that had the words Half-Life and Episode 3 on it, and got replies.

Guys, something weird happened. Well, 2 weeks ago i received my CS:GO beta invite via mail, and didn't ask for anything else, and today I came home and saw that big yellow Valve envelope. In it were Aperture Innovations, Scout and Demoman vinyl decals, as well as Saxton Hale comics cover signed by Gabe. I don't know what to think of this.

I feel like if I ever visit Valve to take a look around and what not, I'll have to bring something for Mary in return for all the stuff she's given us for free.

[QUOTE=usaokay;36061528]Did she ever get that vacation?[/QUOTE] You didn't understand it was somebody jokingly trying to be Gabe Newell yet ? Wow.

[QUOTE=usaokay;36064374]ps. finally tricked someone[/QUOTE] I paid $999.99 for a forum upgrade and all I got was a beating from my mother :(

Who should I mail to ask if Max Payne 3 will have preloading? I can't really figure it out.

[IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc190/mariodxadver1/20120524_203827.jpg[/IMG] Super happy i got something sent! Mary ROCKS! Not to sound ungrateful though, but i was hoping Gabe would sign it, didnt see his signature :( Oh well, i'm still bloody grateful! Specially when the shipping was around 7 Dollars, i feel a bit mean now :(

Oh mary how I love thee! Here is a recap, [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/mix999/part11.png[/IMG] And an update [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/mix999/part2.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/mix999/IMG_20120525_125117.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/mix999/IMG_20120525_125123.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/mix999/IMG_20120525_125417.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/mix999/IMG_20120525_125638.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/mix999/IMG_20120525_125729.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/mix999/IMG_20120525_125853.jpg[/IMG] VALVE YOU ARE THE BEST! This will be the best LAN party of all eternity!

Holy shit at all dat swag. I had a friend visit Valve once, and at the end of his trip, Valve were practically throwing free shit at him. They're super-generous with that stuff.

How to win at life: Move next to Valve. Visit them everyday. Stockpile the free shit. Secretly sell it for insane price. Buy Valve. Release HL3 as Valve CEO. Become international hero. Solve global issues. Make colonies on Moon and Mars. Move to Moon and play golf.

I'm so tempted to email mary

Hey guys, did something happen to Joel? I haven't heard from him in forever, and last I did hear, he surprised me saying he would send me something for my birthday. He didn't get fired, did he? D:

i emailed gaben with suggestions on how to make steam better. he never replied. :<

I'm going to valve in like a week! I will personally thank Mary on behalf of Facepunch if I see her. What else do you guys think would be cool to do for her on behalf of FP?

He didn't get fired, did he? D:[/QUOTE] Joel is very much alive and kicking. He was on a contract with Valve but now hes a full employee. Joel's job is a big one organizing a lot of stuff. Mary was brought in to handle fan requests to help ease the work load of the front desk. It was recently Joel's birthday. He is very happy at Valve and i'm sure all your kind gestures you gave him over the year were very much appreciated. Edit: Danm it EX EX

[QUOTE=Gen. Cornwaffle;36106501]And then there's this asshole! The fuck is wrong with you?[/QUOTE] it's just a really bad joke, sorry. [editline]28th May 2012[/editline] it's not like I actually want somebody to punch a really generous person in the face for no reason whatsoever. i said it because "hur it represents facepunch"
