The super-intelligent over at hl2central are saying hl2 is being
delayed once again. Please give me a quote of some kind so I can prove
them wrong and get the news corrected.

Just give me a simple yes or no, is it delayed again? Thank you for your time.

Right now we are looking at our bug numbers. Each day you fix some bugs
and you find some new bugs. The net number tells you how quickly you
will get to zero.

At our current rate of find/fix bugs, we'll be down to zero bugs in 16
days.

this email is obviously fake why do you all pass it on as an actual email from valve?

unless the guy who "supposedly" emailed gabe newell changed the text before he posted it here this email is 100% fake and should be removed from the "only emeils from valve" thread.

when you send an email to someone and get a reply, no matter what you may have listed for their name in your address book. when you receive mail from someone the name on the email is always the name THEY have setup on THEIR mail client and not the name you have setup for your client.

So if i sent a email to gabe newell and in my address book his name is "el gabe-o" when i get the reply the name on the email wont read from "el gabe-o" <[email protected]> it will read "Gabe Newell" <[email protected]> .

so on that note i would like you all to remove that email because its fake as hell./

So it never did occur to you that he changed it from Newell to N00b...?

Well duh, that stupid jb55 is a loser. He was spamming on some other hl2 fansite forum and got kicked because of his lame reactions on threads. He's a whole messup. He should be banned F(R)O(M)R LIFE

 

[Dead-Inside]

Just because he's a little brat with shit for brains doesn't mean the e-mail has to be fake.

Instead of assuming it is (or isn't), maybe you should e-mail it to gabe (As in Chris or someone else trusted) and get it confirmed?

It's real, if you read the other thread they even have screenshots :|

 

[Dead-Inside]

Well get a link (Or several?) to the image(s) in here... I doubt ppl will go through an entire thread looking for an image.

 

[KagePrototype]

It's real, he posted screenshots. It says "Gabe n00b" because this person obviously has Gabe in his address book.

The email is real. Gabe confirmed it for me last night. The reason his name appears as noob is because of their news and forum scripts. It works much like a swear filter.

Closed!
