heres another one:
a group of special kids from the half life.net forums are offered to take a tour of valve hq. They accept and during the tour one of the kiddies sticks his wang in the wrong socket and shorts out the power while gabe is compiling the last and final area of the game. What...
enter a discussion with carmack about hoe doom 3 is coming along- once gabe gets the info he kills carmack and declares himself the new leader of id- knowing all he knows now he can succesfully make doom 3 suck by doing the oppositte of what carmack was doing and then make sure hl2 stays on top.
lol- in reality he would probably set up an uber rig for the kid where he was staying- and give him the latest version of the game to be played either under supervision so no spoilers leak- or be played at the valve hq.
Ok a its the night before the game has to go gold, and gabes buddies...
With all the damn boring threads as of late- lets make an interesting one, or at least try. Post your scenarios and then answer them by asking the question "what would gabe do?" and then figure them out. Heres mine:

goldeneye was awesome- pc people have serious bias against console games, especially console fps that never made it to the pc. I for one realize people enjoy those games and dont make stupid statements like "omg console games suck, pc is the goods omg!" you know not everyone likes the mouse and...
also feath they may have anounced it went gold 4 days before but that doesnt mean they started working on the disks 4 days before- it was probably a little bit more. Usually the date someone announces something is the date officially posted by game sites and stuff- you probably were just reading...
i seriously doubt the people responsible for producing the game would keep it under wraps if they got the hl2 master disk- definately expect word that it has gone gold. It would have to go gold this week if they want to ship enough copies by the 30th- but as far as letting everyone know that its...
hmm- well im thinking maybe there can be options players have- say you reach the surface of the military base and one guy gets the rocket launcher first or something- the rest of the players could decide to access the bomb shelter and from there launch a missle that decimates the surface of life ;)
