Die Valve

[Eternity]

I'm fed up with Valve's shenanigans. It's time to end this once and for all. We need to stop being led around like docile sheep and sock one good to Newell and his pasty evil cronies. For the last four months we have been backstabbed, thrown in the mud, beaten, and starved by these cruel oppressors and it's time to use our collective might to protest being treated like subhumans.

After finishing Steinbeck's East of Wrath I knew I had the blueprint for the solution to our current problem. It's time for a great swelling of outrage. We need to all buy plane tickets and picket in front of that building until the development team gives out from lack of food and gives us information.

Who else is sick of this bull? Newell chooses to answer the one question that tantalizes much more than it reveals, just an extreme version of what these guys have been doing for the past, like, six months. And watch, he's not going to tell us if it truly is Half-Life II at E3 this year instead of Counter-Strike 2 or TF2. This man is sick like that. He gorges on our tormented flesh.

Yeahhhh......right.

 

[Brian Damage]

Meh, what can you do?

If the game matters that much to you, why not build a time machine instead, and warp into the (hopefully near) future to pick up a copy?

I think this'll end up a locked thread...

 

[Harryz]

East of Wrath?

 

[Eternity]

LOL. I combined his two masterpieces by mistake. I'm kind of hungover.

 

[Brian Damage]

That'd be West of Forgiveness, wouldn't it?

Hungover? That explains everything...

 

[Eternity]

...no, I really don't know what you're talking about. He didn't write anything with 'forgiveness' in it as far as I recall.

 

[Brian Damage]

It was a joke. Anywhere east of wrath would be west of forgiveness, in my book, wrath and forgiveness being diametrically opposed. Well, I think so anyway...

Or maybe it'd be right on top of forgiveness...

EDIT: Or possibly even so far east that it becomes east of forgiveness, too...

 

[Mechagodzilla]

I'm assuming you mean 'die valve' as the german translation of 'the valve'.

 

[Brian Damage]

The VALVe the...

 

[mrchimp]

Kill valve and i will Kill you.

 

[Brian Damage]

mrchimp... the VALVe hitman...

How about this, they could just stop making the game if they wanted to, but nooo. They are gonna wade through all this crap thats being dished at them, and they are gonna make a game. Remember they made plenty of earnings and woulda been just fine without having to make HL2, but instead they decided to be nice, spend all their earnings, and reward the community.
Darn Ingrates.

 

[clarky003]

lol. what hes suggesting isnt a bad idea. cant we create a petition or something,, .. power in numbers

 

[LittleB]

You're being silly, Eternity. How old are you, dude? It's just a GAME for pete's sake! I'm just as excited as the next guy about HL2, but COME ON! Why don't you stop worrying your pissant little self about stupid things like when the game's gonna come out, and do something constructive?

No more negativity!

 

[clarky003]

hey its up too him what feels important or not, but he does make good points. remember HL2 slogan, 'its more than just a game' .. I still think a petition wouldnt be a bad Idea if people want a few answers so bad lol... probably wont work,, but meh, what the hey

 

[Fiddle]

I just want to quickly reply befor this thread gets closed or he's banned or something..

Rabble rabble rabble!

 

[Direwolf]

Nothing that can't be solved by a cookie and a good time. :farmer:

 

[<RJMC>]

a petition I think is not bad is,Valve launch to sell a "HL2 volumen 1",that mean they go a litle version whit something(or a few)of they hav complete(because in my opinion they must hav something complte of the game,maybe the half or 2 hours of game) to the "hunger" HL fanatic who are waiting the game(like me)
or just release a demo
or just still waiting patiently because Valve not wil cancel the game(because they can get much money for it) or yes?
