I doubt he'd notice that while playing

I never noticed any shadow errors so I am guessing it is fixed

Thanks
you just made my day !! :bounce: :bounce:

Eh? I do believe he was referring to the bug where certain shadows casted straight through other objects

I dont' think it's any big deal and I don't wish to rehash it or anything, but how can you say it's not an error? If you view the shadows in the e32k4 vids when he moves the box with the crane it is clearly visible as a lighting error.

Thanks

It's not exactly that noticable in the first place and doesn't happen everywhere, so it's still quite possible it still exists, though of course it would be nice if it was fixed.

Before this thread is closed I just want to say Major props to Valve. It's just plain cool how much effort they put into amusing us. I think their PR dept could learn something from whomever put all this together. This is how you inspire your fanbase. Geek PR.

ahem: after viewing the page source on the half-life2.com/pwn3d and seeing the bird... shuzer pointed it out to me that stragely enough....greg posted on over here

[Joeyslucky22]

[Dr. Freeman]

I just want HL2 to be perfect

 

[blahblahblah]

Hopefully merc will go back tommorow and get the left side of the whiteboard.

 

[Shuzer]

Fear not, I e-mailed Erik Johnson and demanded the left portion of the board

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

hopefully we will solve the rest of the puzzle we have (the gman says we arent done ffs) you would think you guys would want to figure out where all this leads and analyze every little bit

/me goes to look at whiteboard and gman hl2 site more

 

[DC9884]

hot damn i just read every post in a row. elapsed time: 1.5 hours

 

[Mechagodzilla]

Waitaminute, the message on the site was HL2.net-specific, and had Greg Coomer's ASCII bird in the code.

So:
-Greg Coomer comes to HL2.net
-Secret info unlocks HL2.net section of the official site
-Greg Coomer's bird is in the site.

Therefore, the other clues may be hidden on the other forums where other valve employees are posting?

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

fallout... and well maybe we should check out the gman ascii and the whiteboard stuff

 

[Dr. Freeman]

Fear not, I e-mailed Erik Johnson and demanded the left portion of the board

yeah.. being such a huge celebrity of the HL2.net forums does have its advantages eh?

demanded!! oh boy!! Erik u better pony up or ELSE!! :dork:

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

Man the mods are going to be pissed when they wake up.

"GOOD BLIMEY MATES! CHEEKY HELL! JOLLY OH!"

You are in so much trouble.....


Anyway, most of you have missed the point here.

Valve - 1
Community - 0

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

ATTENTION ATTENTION PI HAS WOKEN UP


/hides

 

[glamhawk]

what do you mean, we got the first secret figured out

Community = 1
Valve = whatever they want

I also offered to send him a dollar. In an envelope. I think that'll REALLY convince him

Oh look, a moderator Good thing we got it back on topic (somehow) :cheers:

 

[hype.db]

[Mr-Fusion]

Ahh they've finished feasting on tea and crumpets....

 

[blahblahblah]

PiMuRho, did you actually read all of these posts or did you just skip around?

[Edit]:

Ahh they've finished feasting on tea and crumpets....

The word "feasting" cracks me up. lol

Only took about 20 pages or so. Not too shabby.


About the Valve: 1, Community 0 thing, it would really have been far better if we didn't discover the whole thing through a photo that didn't allow us to actually sove anything though. Thus I say Valve: 0.5, Community 0.

O|-| N035 !!1!11

In b4 close :rolling:

Careful, Pi has made some rather severe threats regarding these sort of posts in the past......

 

[glamhawk]

I advise that all moderators ignore posts containing the phrase "Hepatitis C"

That kinda makes sense.

 

[Sedako]

Merc, you mentioned you were driving aroung in the buggy. Did you notice at all if you could see Gordon's shadow while he was in the buggy? ( if the buggy's shadow was visible of course)
