A Trip to Valve

Quote:
If that Half-Life 2 coupon is burning a hole in your pocket and you just can’t wait to play the game…we have the next best thing. A couple guys got together and made the trip to Valve Software and documented everything with a bunch of pictures. Okay...okay, maybe it isn't the "next best thing" to having the game...but it is still pretty cool.

So it is late. I don't see it beating the suprise package of farcry anytime soon.

I would love to see bodies pile up

What're you guys gonna do, play with the box when you get it? (If you ever get it haha). I thought Steam would have more than just two people working it. That's kinda sad.

wow those guys are from my country. I am going to try to get a job there. i want to make trips like that too.

I hope they"ll actually be able to sell the game since it seems everyone who wants it already has a free voucher for it.

They're not exactly "free". You paid for them when you bought the video card.
