Yep.

[Fearlezz]

This is fake. Valve hosts their own websites. This one is hosted by [url]http://www.softlayer.com/[/url]

[D3N1ZFTW]

So it's another of those wacky fan sites.

They're actually hosting a group meeting at the resort, seeing how gabe is always on vacation.

Jokes aside, that is a fantastic perk to have; and above all, a great way to gain respect for the company.

just another reason to want to work for valve D:

Hiking =/= rock climbing

Hiking's pretty much just walking. Hence "take a hike."

[Da Fat Cat v3]

Pretty sure he considers the walk from his car to his office a hiking trip in itself

Because he's fat lol!

The site also appears to have been made using Joomla. Valve probably would code their own.

what you think Gabe Newell became fat because he wanted to

[oxcjae.]

Valve's official site should be redirecting to this one, in all honesty.

[Cuon Alpinus]

[QUOTE=Matrix374;28925288]what you think Gabe Newell became fat because he wanted to[/QUOTE]

I don't think that was what he meant.

[Uberslug]

Looks like their graphic designers were on vacation when they made this site.

[brie_irl]

It would be so awesome if this website was the final step in solving the ongoing ARG.

Matrix374, DaFatCat, and anyone I missed; What is wrong with you?! Again, every GabeN fat joke a day keeps Episode Three away! But if you are not a fan of HL2 then I guess that's different. After all, you do not want to see how huge Gabe's summer home alone is. I don't understand owning a summer home if you have your own travel agent.

About Gabe and hiking, I tell you where I don't want to see Gabe take a vacation, my state has some aging hiking trails, and some of the wood, they had to rope off, because while one human may be able to cross okay, there has to be a weight limit, and not to mention the wood is only built over the rocks, rocks can erode, and that is a long way down! I swear this place I will not name has old trails that I can not see Gabe being able to stop downward.

I mean would any of you laugh or cry if something happened to that dude, if he slid down the eroding steep drop at a high rate of speed!? I am sorry, but there is no way I can not make fun.

Maybe the vacation is for everyone who uses Steam :buddy:

[NumLock]

Wow,

those movies better come with popcorn.
