Hacker has been arrested.

[^Ben]

The hacker has been arrested my mod leader visited valve and they told him that the ago phatbot creator was the guy who stole the source and released the beta.

You might already know this but what the hey.

Not many pictures but some stuff on valves plans for mods and how they are going to support them. And now my mod leader is a play tester for the game the lucky git :| and from what he said to me they where mostly just playing the game and looked in high spirits(but we already knew that)

Also check out the new box art that they had just got in the office from vivendi that very day.

I've never seen the boxart with the City 17 street, even though I've seen that screenshot tons of times

 

[Xenome]

well .. i thought it was only a rumor, but i guess it's true now

 

[Maxi]

Yeah, that boxart is deffinately new. + we've never seen the back of it, only the front.

 

[^Ben]

Just something random Gabe is about 6 foot :O he looks much shorter in the pictures.

 

[Chuckstar]

Hmm... nice box art. The game shouldn't be to far away then. :cheese: Thanks for sharing the pictures, I liked them.

 

[Stryyder]

Thats because he has a width vs height issue people assume he is shorter with no other frame of reference in the picture.

 

[Gossoon]

Man, I sure am going to miss having a box. Steam better have some cool shit.

 

[wonkers]

so where was this Cracker from? He was the kid with the simpsons picture on his window right ? It was like insult to injury when you saw that the kid who made that virus was friggen young as hell.

And it's confirmed that a teenager broke into Valve?

 

[dassbaba]

teh h4x0rz -_-

gabe vs h4x0r in a real life deathmatch!

 

[wonkers]

what the hell was that post for?

 

[PainLord]

Whatever happened to the "hungry programmers" who were raided by the FBI then?

 

[^Ben]

Maybe a false lead.

 

[jonnyapps]

what kid with a simpsons pic?

Most of the people who spend their time writting viruses and trying to break into corporate networks are teenagers. Its not really any sort of surprise if its a teen that breaks into your corporate network so its not adding insult to injury.

 

[cenmocay]

Hey hackers :cheese:

 

[perrkele]

Thanks for the heads up, Ben! Good to know that the hacker was caught... now I just hope they'll sentence him to de... no wait, errm, a couple of years in jail perhaps! That should teach him.

 

[slicktick]

Thanks for the info, not new cover art for the box but the inside and backs look they are gonna be cool.

 

[Ruroni]

[Axyon]

I'm looking at it, and I'm wanting you to shorten it by at least one quote.

 

[Dr. Freeman]

[DrEvil]

[DrEvil]

You sound like Fat Tony in the Simspons: "I wish for you to keep an eye on that broad Legs" referring to Lisa when she is investigating a scam.

Yeah, that was the kind of style I was trying to hit there

 

[Fat Tony!]

I found that quite funny actually.

 

[kaf11]
