Valve's April Fools

[drunkymonkey]

Following on from last year's awesome Counter Strike 'update,' Valve have made a very subtle one. It's been taken down now, though.

[Mutley]

That, is, no, joke. :|

 

[Harryz]

Hahaha, I lol'ed.

 

[Steven]

:| to be honest.

 

[OvA]

I don't get it.

 

[DeusExMachina]

I don't get it.

Indeed.

 

[Insano]

I don't get it.

You're serious?

Go to http://steampowered.com/status/content_servers.html

It displays the Steam content servers of each country. Valve put up a fake one for Xen on 1st April.

A subtle 1th April joke, but lovely

Yeah, he should have used a pic of the full page. All I saw was a pic of the word Xen and a bar next to it :|

 

[drunkymonkey]

Yas. I couldn't be arsed though.

 

[giant384]

omg i was fooled i could have sworn xen was real

 

[oldagerocker]

heh, someone noticed valves april fools joke. although they didnt put allot of effort into it, oh well

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Yeah they really splashed out this year, i hear those 3 letters cost around $120,000 to get the staff to achieve it. The Counter Strike one last year was excellent, it has the young'ns terrified. 'zomg dats ghey i dont wanna spend a round cleaning my gun or get my knife being stuck in a sheath, or filling out gun forms everyround'. hehe!

[Tollbooth Willie]

So true, it's sad.

"Half-Life 2: Episode One to be released on Xbox 360!"...
\=

 

[Alba look a like]

Sorry but Half life on Xbox would be very shit i think, Xbox is shit

 

[drunkymonkey]

The console itself isn't shit (unless it has terrible specifications), it is the games on it. I really can't see how an existing game would get any worse on another console...

 

[Drackard]

Meh, WoW's april fools was better had me going till i realised what the day was ;P

 

[drunkymonkey]

Haha, yeah, the wisps and the rogue announcement: Fixed a bug that allowed rogues to dual wield weapons.

 

[Drackard]

Aye, it was the wisps that got me though lol, i missed the rouge one 0o ... ah well

 

[ríomhaire]

Sorry but Half life on Xbox would be very shit i think, Xbox is shit

HL2 is already on Xbox

 

[Drackard]

Sh, he may just be a bit .... slow ?

 

[UltimaApocalypse]

Valve: "Guess what! We won't be releasing HL2 Aftermath because we decided that we won't be doing episodic content! Cool eh? Eh?"

*HL2 fans start crying*


Valve: "Oh god, we are teh 1337. April Fools!"

 

[Murray]

Everytime you make april fools jokes about half-life, God kills a rhiohemizade.

April Fools is a great way to test things
"We're making X Game"
Gamers:"Sound Gay"
"April Fools!!"
Gamers:"Few"
"Ok Cancel X Game and focus on Y Game"
