Apparently Valve employees have Half-Life 3 t-shirts | Joystiq

Sat, 03 Dec 2011 07:50:36 +0000

Keep in mind that Valve isn't above trolling its own fans -- Gabe Newell could have a 50-square-foot room at Valve studios stuffed full of Half-Life 3 t-shirts, foam hands and head crabs to keep the excitement alive, and a lot of empty hard drive space for the actual game.

Pyro Maniacs: Achieving Nothing in TF2 | Rock, Paper, Shotgun

Thu, 05 Aug 2010 01:22:25 +0000

"This isn’t a rant for or against Team Fortress 2 Achievement servers. It’s a recounting of the bizarre/hilarious/terrifying experience I had on one of them – yes, my personal reactions to what I encountered do inevitably slip in, but mostly it’s a portrait of this unique facet of gaming subculture. Whether you agree or disagree with their existence, these beat-the-system servers are fascinating enough to be worth talking about."
