Newest HL2 Fan! Thanks Gabe!

[xojins]

I just wanted to show everyone how great the folks over at Valve are.

My buddy sent Gabe an email about 2 months ago asking not to release HL2 around Sept 15 because my wife was expected to go into labor around that time. He also said that it would cause undue problems because I would be glued to the computer and would not be able to help my wife.

Well, we received several replys from various folks at Valve and thanks to Kay Lee (the Valve office manager), she sent us a special gift. It was an embroidered onesee for my son, a note signed by Gabe, and 2 HL2 shirts!!!

Today I had the 1st opportunity to actually put him in his new clothes and take a photo.

I just wanted to let everyone know that Valve is the coolest company (as if ya'll didnt know that).

Thanks to Kay Lee and the office girls for making this happen

[Hazar]

[Adrien C]

So this is why it has been delayed...?

Congrats man, what did you name your son ?

Please say gordon please say gordon please say gordon...

Nah seriously, that is real cool, VALVe sure knows how to take care of their fans, you know, without actually releasing the game.

 

[DrPowers]

Cuttest Damn babe ever.... Congrats. But did you have to vote TO delay the game?????

 

[ailevation]

Man that's good stuff, see man Valve is more than just game dev's they are our family .

 

[xojins]

lol...gordon! my wife would have killed me!!!!!

His name is Aeden Anthony.

I hope VU doesn't sit on HL2 for 6 months, but i can see them holding back for a Christmas release. That just gives me enough time to get settled in with the boy

 

[Asuka]

Good luck with your family dude.


-Needs something to take his mind off that article.

Al I have to say is.....

Awwwwwww............

 

[CreamOfetus]

and people act like Gabe is just a money grubbing assh... bad guy.

 

[sHm0zY]

ahah thats so cute.

 

[Varsity]

So what happens when the kid grows up and dicovers that his father dressed him in HL2 clothes?

 

[xojins]

its not that gordon is an ugly name...its just that the wife would never let me name him after a fictional character!

She once mentioned that she thought Luke was a nice name unitl i said "Luke, I am your father!"
