You are my idol man, id do anything to meet you dude, you make awesome games and I just cant stop playing them.

I noticed in fragmasters "Farewell" post that he stated that you guys have cut out info in order to keep an early release date, yet I have a quote of you saying "We will delay the game till 2005 if we must" Both these statements contridict eachother. Which is true? Id much rather have a late release than a game full of bugs.

Dont take too much time replying, YOUVE GOT A GAME TO MAKE




PS: I know I'm a suck up. . i was hoping for a free half life 2 copy :cheers:

OH DEAR GOD SOMONE QUICK STOP THIS THREAD BEFORE WW3 BEGINS, OH GOD ITS STARTED ALREADY OMG, *gets into his chemical suit* and shuts the door on the bunker.

 

[Shuzer]

lol, erm.. we had an e-mail already like this in the info thread
*Shuzer zips up his chemical suit along with Lobster

 

[TheGreenGlove]

Why would world war 3 begin. . .i e-mailed him asking if what frag said was true. Im just happy i got a reply from him lol

 

[TheGreenGlove]

Oh. . .im an idiot. . .JUST WHEN I THINK IM GONNA HAVE THE BEST FIRST POST IN THE WORLD. . . .i make myself look like amoron

 

[The Mullinator]

Ya Gabe already said this to someone else who e-mailed him about the same thing. Thing is most of the people who believe Fragmaster to be right also take it that Gabe is flat out lying.

 

[Lobster]

because regardless of the reply or my personal opinions on the subject, its a very touchy one, and i know theres alot of people standing with there fingers on the button to burn a topic like this !

Hey dude......it wasn't that bad for a first post.

People have done MUCH much worse......

I wouldn't even call this one annoying.

Fragmaster always pissed me off....right or wrong.

 

[Lobster]

I agree with you fender, But you know how these things get somtimes hehe

 

[Icarus]

I really don't think you can make the claim that Fragmaster was lieing based off a non-committing kind of reply. "I have no idea where Fragmaster gets his ideas"
Is almost as bad as
"If you don't know what you did wrong I'm not going to tell you"
or
"Bad Command Or File Name"

 

[Gossoon]

It's "lying". And if I may be the devil's advocate and/or an ass - notice Gabe did not directly say fragmaster was wrong. He did the classic dodge and [/I]implied that fragmaster was lying but that's not actually what was said. George Bush makes these kind of statements all the time. This is why Gabe and valve have lost so much credibility in my eyes. They rarely come right out and confirm or deny anything. This is not the Manhattan Project. There is no reason for these ridiculous half-truths and inferences. The more I think about it, the more it annoys me.

^

but also notice that gabe didn't say "i have no idea where he gets his facts"

He basicly said.....its Fragies own ideas that he's puting up as facts...


Mabie? I dont know..........I got a C in english........I'm not going to attempt to understand the damn language.........the only language I know.............stupid brain......

/me jumps in the chemical suit and strokes Shuzer in the up-most heterosexual way :naughty:
.... should i get the strap-on and put it on my head again?
