"Hang in there... It's almost over!"

[Maxi]

Oooo.. lookie what i found in office! Could this mean something?

Clicketh

 

[Dr. Freeman]

kinda funny if u ask me.. :E
but yeah.. its a sign i think.

 

[Crash Happy]

Nice find.
Not sure much can be read into any of these things though.
It's not a sign, it's a picture.

 

[Edcrab]

[bastard] Already posted you fool! [/bastard]

But yes, I think it's a subtle hint. Well, not so subtle hint.

 

[rammstein]

Yeah I saw that, some other people suggested that was just refering to waiting out the round in CS....

the first thing i thought of though was HL2 being released

 

[The Monkey]

That's fun...although I don't think that we should jump to any conslusions.

 

[Beserker]

The first glance it took on that picture made me think that it was a real office. Then I saw the little text. So uber

 

[BlackMesaDude]

good find hope its true.

 

[redundant]

heh, yeah, i saw that earlier. sort of like "crunch" being 'crunch time' or something like that.

although you could look at it the other way and think that the skeleton in the picture is a hl2-fanboy waiting for it to be released...

 

[MiccyNarc]

I was thinking it meant "life is almost over".

Whatever

 

[ne-waller]

they are spoof motivatoinal posters surely? theres another one about awping

 

[Asuka]

Ugh more stuff Ugh!

 

[dscowboy]

'Crunch' is a reference to 'crunch time', in software development the period before release where everything has to get finished up very quickly and long hours at the office are common.

Crunch time is always 'almost over'

 

[chrisglick]

Crunch might refer to the people working at valve . . . near release dates you have to work insane hours . . . 18+ . . no sleep.

 

[The Bait]

I hope 'Crunch' does refer to the game almost being finished and nearing release. When I first saw it I thought the name of the little skeleton guy was 'Crunch' and below him where it said 'Hang in there...its almost over' I thought it meant he died waiting for HL2 and now its almost finished.
