Heh heh...demand that the mods raise me to Combine or some such.

yes, you are a brave soul, but damn, I wish I could have the pictures from when gabe beats your face in with a crowbar =]

Fuzzy · Sep 17, 2003

Ahaha, this thread is a classic. Whatever you do spit, make sure you get some photos. And if you keep it light and happy you wont get arrested or anything

(i dont know what US cops are like, but if its like in TV you know

)

I'll be sure to take my camera...I hope I hope I hope I can get a pic with Gabe

CyberSh33p · Sep 17, 2003

I hope he's beating your face in in that picture ;P

Cheater · Sep 17, 2003

bring the crowbar, then break everything there and tell them u're a hl die hard fans, i think they will forget u.

Cardo · Sep 17, 2003

I like the plumber idea,

Joneleth · Sep 17, 2003

Actually, heres a fail-proof plan. Walk into the building, and if anyone asks what you're doing, say you're a gay (this is important later) interior designer. Say that you think this building gives off a good vibe, and that whoever designed it did a "fab-oo-less" job.

Then, if they try and forcefully remove you from the building, say that they're descriminating against your sexual preference. If that doesn't give you full access to the building, nothing will.

... Okay I'm done.

CyberSh33p · Sep 17, 2003

hehe, good point

lol...I dunno if the discrimination angle will work in this situation, although I could do a gay interior decorator:

"Oh Gabe, you simply must make this work space more feung schwei! Here, let me clear this mess away for you (pockets Half-Life 2 disk)."

Orange · Sep 17, 2003

this is the best what if thread EVER

be very gracious and polite. If they say "please leave" or "NO"
just do it. Don't stand and pleade , it looks better (for all of us

) to not beg and pleade.

be an enthused fan asking if you can look around the office or have someone show you around if that seems less scary for them.

id wear khakis or cargo. nothing too dressy, and no wife beaters or shirts that advertise something.

Wow do i sound like an assehole? i think i do.

Good luck, and i can say that what you are doing take tremendous nuts, and that they have to give you some credit for that, even if they might be annoyed (don't worry bout that too much

).
Good luck, Have fun

Oh yeah, speak clearly, when you're nervous, likely to speak too fast

"No!! Please!! I'll do anything!! Gabe's laundry!! Please!!" (sobs) (All the while being dragged to the elevators by security)

AmishSlayer · Sep 17, 2003

I doubt they'll give you anything, but by all means...try. I'd try if I was in your position. I'd dress up a bit, khakis and a button down shirt, no tie. I'd tell them you were an elected representative of the HL2.net forum community. Then you could ask if you could just check out the place, and they don't have to show you anything with HL2 (I think they'll wanna keep that under wraps no matter who shows up). They might give you a short tour or something. One of the lower level guys might wanna show you around to get mentioned in some article...who knows. I dunno. Good luck tomorrow. The worst that could happen is they just shoot you down...and you just walk out crying

they can't turn down a crying guy...or maybe they'll just laugh at you...whichever's funnier.

Didn't think about the rep angle...I'll try that...could I get a mod's blessing to speak on behalf of the hl2.net community?

alphablu · Sep 17, 2003

if you actually see anyone that we know there first thing, ask them WHEN IS IT COMING OUT and how sure are they hehe...put this thing to rest

BloodyL · Sep 17, 2003

ROFL!, It's good to see to HL2 community have a laugh instead of bitchin, a damned good thread guys

I'd definately suggest dressing up as a scientist with a headcrab attached running amock arms flailing shouting "I never thought I'd see a resonance cascade, let alone create one!"

GJaaGular · Sep 17, 2003

LOL...that's a great idea...love the line from HL, too.

Take a Pizza with you an go around lunch time an say I have a large pepparoni for Gabe.....or a Ups uniform wouldn't be bad either

Yeah. You should PM a mod, hopefully they'll reply with a "Go for it" or a "Sure" by tomorrow. I'd say that's your best bet, unless Valve has just been getting annoyed by all the rumors we create and when these rumors are spread, how we send a barrage of emails at them...

How do I PM a mod?

AmishSlayer · Sep 17, 2003

Just a question...how old are you spit? I'm just trying to think about how this situation will go down tomorrow and the different things you could try. I think age will definitely affect how they treat you there.

EDIT: Just goto one of their posts (ie: in a sticky) and click the pm button at the bottom of their post. Then you can type your message and such. That should work.

I'll be 19 this Saturday.

SupaKoopa · Sep 17, 2003

i suggest you grow a goatee, cut your hair really short, and dye your hair brown (assuming you don't already have a broen goatee and short hair), then wear some glasses. Tell them you're there for your first day of work, and ask where the HEV is
