Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    Valve's next project will probably be some kind of F2P MMO/ARPG. They've already seen how much cash they can rake in with microtransactions in TF2 and now DOTA2. What's more is they don't even have to design the stuff, just publish fan made designs and cut them in for like 30% or something trivially small.

    Well it's not exactly like F2P has been a mystery until Valve unlocked it.

    Nor did I imply as much. Just saying that's the direction they've been heading in ever since they pretty much abandoned the single player genre and spent most of their time polishing/microtransactionatizing TF2.

    Meet the Pyro has come out. Not worth new thread, so I figure I'll just post it here:



    Finally the Meet the Team videos have come to an end. All in all the people responsible for them did a good job. Some of the early ones were pretty amateurish and campy, but the last three (pyro, medic and spy) were great.

    Half-Life 2 Episode 3 concept art? Or hoax?

    http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/half-life-2-episode-two/1225237p1.html

    Edit: Can't tell what this is, exactly. Looks like a forum about Valve (Valvetime.net) got sent some concept art c. 2008 by someone at Valve.

    Oh, it's the old Halflife2.net site, and a Vavlie leaked them some old artwork. Back to waiting. Sorry. :/

    Eli was Alyx' father, so she's wearing his jacket.

    Yes, it's Alyx. Maybe they just decided to gove her a slightly new look. Nothing new these days.

    Its not Alyx, its a white - caucasian - "russian" looking girl. And thats not Freeman either. Get over it.


    Its better than anything other devs on that level put out.
    Not only in looks but in characterization too.

    Why would Valve work on Half-Life when designing hats for TF2 gives them so much more money for less effort? There will never be another Half-Life game, just face it.
