Holy moly! Valve is sending me a poster!

headcrabboy · Oct 20, 2004

Last week i sent Gabe Newell a amusing picture related to Halflife 2 and i just got this email back.

At Gabe Newel’s request, Valve would like to send you a poster.

In order to make this happen, I will need you to provide a mailing address, along with a legal contact name (rather than a screen name).

Thank you for your continued support of Valve Software, and all of our products!

Regards,

If i post it, then you guys will send it too :E

DoctorGordon · Oct 20, 2004

Ok so, why exactly did you tell us this if we dont even get to see the pic?

smacky · Oct 20, 2004

you know, people have complained alot about valve in the last year or so ( including myself ) , but this shows they do care about their fans, all the e-mail they answered , all the trips to their office, all the stuff they send people, all the posts on message boards and the special edition of half life 2 with the shirt and everything. i just wanna say thanks valve ! we appreciate it

zul · Oct 20, 2004

If he posts the picture then 50 people are going to email gabe the same thing to get a poster, and gabe will get PO'd and not do nice things for people anymore

Pop it into Photoshop and shrink it down to 20% or something so it'd be no good sending it in, but we can still take a gander.

Dr. A · Oct 20, 2004

or watermark it right in the middle or sumthin

Yombi · Oct 20, 2004

im pretty sure gabe will remember if he's seen the pic or not

Wraith · Oct 20, 2004

or just ****ing post it and assume that if gabe liked it enough to tell someone to make sure your ass gets a poster, maybe he will remember it for more than 73 seconds you ****ing paranoid nazi asshole POST THE ****ING PIC OTHERWISE THIS THREAD IS TOTALLY USELESS IN EVERY WAY!

DoctorGordon · Oct 20, 2004

Who the heck would send it in to try and get a poster if its already been sent in?

Thats the stupidest proposal i've ever heard.

Fuzzy-_-Muff · Oct 20, 2004

oh my god, no seriously dude your an asshole, post the godamn picture. Like anyone would be lame enough to try and send it in again anyway

Wraith · Oct 20, 2004

like i said before, it obviously made an impression on gabe. i doubt he would send anyone else a poster, and even if he does good,s omeone ese got a poster. POST THE PIC

zer0kewl · Oct 20, 2004

Fender357 · Oct 20, 2004

FthrJACK · Oct 20, 2004

Hanta Swe · Oct 20, 2004

Wow, Nice Label.

Mind if i use that on my DVD:s?

FthrJACK · Oct 20, 2004

be my guest

we11er · Oct 20, 2004

lol I know where he stole the strider pic from! It's a thread in the CS:S forums, for posting your funny pics. It was apicture of people on wooden stilts. Then someone shopped one of the onlookers saying "Strider!!" It was ****ing funny. But the cheeky git got a poster out of it!

I'll go and find the post so we can all enjoy...

we11er · Oct 20, 2004

Finally found it! It was a thread about "Great things you can do with a manipulator".

Mr. Fusion posted this: http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showpost.php?p=826419&postcount=5

Then Alix Mcdean posted this:

No you probably won't show it since someone else probably made it. The other who made it will probably be mad then.

If you made it yourself then you would have nothing to fear, Valve wouldn't cut you from the poster, and it would still be your work.

Holy moly! Valve is sending me a poster!
