Sounds like they should have contracted Nintendo who have experts that could have tightened those leaks. :owned:

Also, is it possible that Valve - a video game developer - is actually making video games including sequels to their biggest IPs...? I detect massive amounts of "No shit, Sherlock".

I find it quite incredible that any dev would give a tour that allowed photos to be taken...especially such a blatant photo of someone's screen. That simply isn't allowed...in any studio...anywhere. Tours are very carefully planned so that "confidential info" cannot be photographed...even with staff using dummy images as their desktops to hide the game loaded in the background. I know these things happen...I've given tours, some with camera crews following me. At no point was unannounced work ever allowed to be photographed. Sure...people can look - they've signed an NDA - but no photos/videos...especially of people's computer screens.

There is nothing "unintentional" about this leak...or Valve is housing the dumbest group of developers on the planet.

i find it quite incredible that people have such short attention spans for what's already available and are instead gagging for crumbs of info and speculation about future games - games which, upon being released, they will get bored with inside a week and go looking for more leaks

Funny you mention that Don Carlos :paranoid:
I just reinstalled my OS after a new SSD & HDD. A pain putting everything back but I am getting there.

I just found my Steam account and thought why not :)
Playing HL2 and just about to finish "Kanal".

Still pretty good all around. Looking forward to Ep 1 & 2 next.

Got a leaky valve? Replace that shit with a top quality ball valve. Problem solved.

Well this was unknown to me. I don't remember the 'achievement' thing last time I played :confused:

I do remember the gnome from playing before but who would think to send it to space?

Thanks for the 'Easter egg'' Theftbot :up:

Yes it is and I can say that because I've just spent too many hours in the HL2 world exploring :)

Good question.

I think not because Alyx says when introducing Gordon to the gravity gun that it was designed to lift heavy objects.

I don't think the weight or the contents'' of the vessel would become weightless :ducky: Just can't be sure.

Anyone else have a thought?
