Folks who are able and who have the tools should set this up asap. Get the man some server space set up in advance. ICQ spit, make sure it is for real, for real (sorry spit, but you COULD be pulling a beautiful prank on us) before you expend time effort and bandwidth, then clear out a patch so...
Yes. Or get them to absolutely confirm the 30th....not "we're headed for a release date on the 30th", but "it WILL be on the shelves internationally on September 30th"
Also, give them props for keeping everything as secret as it has been. A project this big kept so secret for so long is a...
Like we have keep saying....be polite as possible...ask before you take pictures of anything.
Man, Valve just went up a notch in coolness factor.
When will you be back to post?

High five to spitty! Ha! Told you guys it was a possibility! Have fun, dude!
If they can't answer the release date question, or they swear you to secrecy on other issues (why would they do that if they invite a fan for a tour?) --- then tell us what types of things they swore you to...
I'd guess that it taxes the server....search runs through all the boards to count your posts. If all the combines on the board searched at the same time....it might BLOW THE WHOLE THING!

You're probably right, but Spitman has the strength to dream. It is highly unlikely he'll get any info whatsoever beyond the experience of going to hq and getting the boot.
But it is possible he'll get a bitchin' surprise based on that email from gabe...if that is in fact, real.

That's great question that I asked over and over. So I'll give you the straight dope instead of a runaround.
Use the search button on yourself. Easy.
They should cover this in the faq, along with the different ranks and the posts to get to the ranks.

The obvious answer is "the highest possible resolution", but it will probably be at 1024x768 like you. At first, all the bells and whistles will be turned on, and I'll just strip away stuff until I get decent frame rates.

Well, no. Thanks again for asking. I feel compelled to answer somehow. At the time of that post, I had 14 to go. But thanks to the wonders of technology and wasting time at work, I now have a mere 12 posts to go.

Anyone on the board working for a retailer that would stock HL2? Or have a friend who does? Or in a distribution center? Or anywhere in the HL2 production chain?

Well, chances are, they won't really give him much of any info. The receptionist will probably brush him off. And being a polite, sane person, he'll be on his way.
I suggested to him that he ask the other businesses in the building - like the steak restaurant - if they know anything on the...
Serious? Up and up? Why would Gabe write YOU back? Do you have some special relationship with Valve?
If it is righteous true, way to go Kamakiri for clearing the way for Spitty.

18 to go.
