Why did the Half Life 2 Devs called the game company Valve? I mean whats a Valve? its a little wheel that you use to turn water off/on in a plumbing station. I mean why the name is Valve? And in HL 1 when the Valve thing comes up that weird looking guy has a Red Valve on his eye and the other eye is normal. What kind of a sign is Valve? Sometimes they creep me out lol
Why valve?

:cheers: They call it Valve, because they twist the games, and when they do a strong force of water comes out!

valve's are for controlling the flow of something. .. so id guess the idea behind the name for the company would of had something to do with that and the one word simplicity of it.
that metaphorical valve has always been a bit 'slip'pery though

Because a guy had a bunch of cool stock pictures of guys with valves in their heads.
That's what Gabe said in an interview.

sweet joke...
I didn't know that Rockstar North were scots...it would explain their random violence and aggressive gameplay.
As well as giving meaning to the fact they always have quirky engines that are unreliable when introduced to other platforms.
Plus they're drunks.
