I got an email from Gabe at like 11:00PM PST.
It said that he was working on his leet speak.
 
Because they had nothing better to do on a tuesday night???
 
"we can confirm with absolute certainty that this is valid" - Shacknews

They would not put such emphasis on its validity unless they knew beyond any doubt that there is no way it is a fake.
 
It was a press release.

It was something released to the press.

A press release doesn't have to be written on special paper or anything.
 
You're only voting yes becuase that's what you want to hear. The human mind works that way. The majority of you are in the state of denial. :p
 
I'm still having a problem with the whole 9:00 PM thing though.
 
The fact that the emails were sent at 9pm is no indication that they are anything but genuine. News sites like shacknews are well aware of what time the email was sent, and they are well aware of the possibility that an email can be faked, yet they assured us that it is valid beyond any doubt.

Thats enough for me, and it really seems as if most of you simply cant come to terms with reality.
 
Send out the bad news at 9:00 pm pst and a large percentage of the anger is died down by the next day.

its true, it is delayed, and i guess we'll all have to be patient and wait for next release, which sux big nads, cause this whole count down thing got my stoked. Its like watching a new years count down going "5,4,3,2,3,4,5,6,7..... the f*ck?"
 
Yeah if they had done this in the middle of the afternoon the company would be dealing with phone calls, hate mails, etc pooring in. This way it's reduced by a large margin.

I can easily see Valve as a very smart company, but it's in a very cold calculating way.
 
lol

im going to be even more pissed in the morning :mad:

im going to fly to america and blow up valve (well actually take thier HDD's first ;))
 
I can see it now


"welcome gabe!

You have 29,510 new messages!"
 
If it's fake we'll find out soon enough. Plese, enough with this.
