With VALVe currently harbouring (is that the right word?! lol) THE most anticipated game ever (pc atleast), they're already set to make millions on the game not including the liscenses to other companies for the source and other mods.. but on top of that, because of selling through steam they'l make EVEN MORE!!!

How friggin rich will they be?! i can see it now;

"hello Gabe Newell, i am 8 years old and live in botswana and i do not own anything, my teacher is translating this for me, i read about you and your computer game on a small piece of newspaper care workers gave me, i am currently using it as a table, you are the first person i have wrote to as it costs so much, i had to sell my donkey to pay for this mail to be delivered so please reply.

-Chakacoocoo."

"Hey there Chakacoocoo, Do you want to come over to seattle and play the game? hey i'l even buy you a house here! and a new donkey, but how about a stallion? or stables so you can have more? what about some land to ride them on? 10..20 acres? Oh and you wont be used to this place so what about a chauffeur? oh and a maid ;-);-)
Sod it, brink Botswana with ya!! Free drinks all round and free hl2 for everyone!! (/erm gabe you better not do that, thats how you're making your money in the first place/) *shit yeah*"

(dont know what the **** i was going on about there! LOL basically i wanted to say that gabe'l make sh!tloads :) - discuss)
 
I think that you are a little too hyper and need to go outside to the real world and stop worrying about HL2 so much.
 
yea i bet they cant wait to see all the money rolling in, they willl be richer than they already are

*cough* ... look at that pc you got there ... "cool guy"
 
I have relatives in Botswanna.. :afro: My cousin is chief Witchatoogawillapanipplepinchie of the Hilana valley
 
he is gonna make millions more than hl1. i wonder how much of that he's gonna put into hl3?
 
Does anybody else get a sense of deja vu from this thread title?

"Someone set us up the bomb!"
 
Gabe's already rich from HL1 and Microsoft.
 
Gabe's richer than anyone else working at VALVe. Guaranteed.

$10 says the real meat behind the team (Rick, etc) don't make anywhere near as much.

But, that's the order of the coperate world, I suppose.. 'tis sad. ;(

Another person complaining about system specs in sigs. Should I call the whaaambulance? I've been here a few days and already I've seen more crying here then on any other board.

One of you crybabies even made a thread about saying signatures with system specs isn't cool. Do you really care that much to actually make a thread about it? Furthermore, do you really think that someone with their system info in their sig really gives 2 shits what joe nobody from Nowhere, USA thinks? I've got some info for you JACK, you're hanging out on a half life 2 forum dedicated to gaming. So are you supposed to be a "cool guy" now? I've got a social life, friends, job, girlfriend, etc. I've even decided to make a link in my sig, so from now on, when any one of you toddlers decides to complain about my signature, I'll have you directed to what I think about your opinion. Just need to whitelist this forum first and you can take a look :)

well alientank ... im not complaining that you have a computer spec sig ... that doesnt bother me at all ... in fact ... thats cool ... but i'm just saying that you obviously invested around $1000 + bucks into that gaming machine ... which is obviously a reference to how much you enjoy playing games , probably just as much as chriso does ... there is no sense in you bashing chriso for making an entertaining thread to read ... and for you to call someone you dont know a toddler is simply an ignorant thing for you to say ... and then accuse him of getting out more when he most likely has a life of his own away from the computer ... thats rude and arrogant of you ... no hard feelings .. i'm just stating my opinion now ... there ya go :cheers: peace <3

I built this system to last me the next 3 years. $4500 Canadian for this thing. The way he put it out there, he sounded overly hyper, and my comment wasn't to be taken to heart. But now that we've cleared this up, no hard feelings toward you either :) However I'm still putting this in my signature, because I've had a lot of people complaining. I feel this is a universal solution to the problem.
 
I'm not hyper i just making convo, sorry :( it got us talking :p

Why are people so stupid about companies making money? They deserve it and it means they will get the time they deserve to work on Half life 3.

People just want to show off thier machine and be like "MY MILKSHAKE PWNS YOURZ LOLZ!!!!!!111"

Don't bother them and they wont bother you. Think of them as those gothic kids at high school. :)

Oh please, give me a god damn break. Heaven forbid I have a sig with my computer specs in it! Oh noes! I'm not goth, I'm not some outcast, and if you don't like my sig, you can cram it with walnuts!

You want to talk about being an outcast or loser, you've been banned from this forum 3 times, it seems that you are the unwanted outcast.
 
It's not that I don't like your sig and you definatly should not care what we think of it... but we ARE allowed to critisize (spell?)... I mean we all are human...








and this is what I think of you : click meh

Criticize it yes, but what you did wasn't criticism, oh, check my sig for what I think about people who criticize my sig. I made it just for the crybabies. You're like a god damn woman, complain about everything. I didn't know guys could have PMS, but I guess you defy the laws of genetics.
 
Yes, yes I did notice that but this:

Some_God said:

That was criticism (spell?). I just used that Goth thing to further explain what to do when we come into contact with people of your type. I guess my own metaphor (spell?) was correct. :)
 
HL2 will be a cash cow and it deserves to be. If you dont think so then you are probably a kerry supporter.(Implying that you are an idiot)

stop trying to act all cool, like you have a life or something... :rolleyes:

btw, i hope you know that it was a joke
probably everyone on this forum has a life...hopefully

As opposed to being a Bush supporter?

I sure don't, my life is school, work, sleep.... repeat :E
 
a "bomb" is usually something bad, like if a movie "bombs" it means it did badly...your title is rather misleading since your thread seems to be saying the exact opposite.........
