Weekend Discussion: Holiday Surprise
So get out there, have a good time, and try not to overdose on the candied hearts whist lamenting that there's still no readily available chocolate bust of Mr. Washington. Such a line of presidential-shaped chocolate heads would be the perfect gift for this time of the year, you know. They could even have yummy gummy brains. It's a no-brainer!

They sold the video cards and announced the game coming out. AFTER the games release date, they said they never said what year. Then they tried to blame hackers. The hackers said hell naw that shiit aint done and released it to prove their point. I believe the lead editor for planet HL also came forth and said shit was broken and far from done, and was promptly fired and his postst were deleted. Eventually valve came clean and admitted that the shit just wasn't done. The big thing was lying to the fans to sell video cards. They were still pretending it was coming within days of the release date. By the time the game came out the cards were old. Oh, and the big FU to anybody with an NV card was nice too.

I'm really glad Valve did this. It shows their dedication to being connected to the community.
The chick who drew this stuff did the stuff that made the rounds on the internet last year, too.

She goes by the name of Beavotron. http://beavotron.deviantart.com/gallery/
The only reason I know this was because I liked her style a lot and I was using it as inspiration for my iPhone app that just recently came out. So was looking up her stuff.
I had seen some stuff in the Valve store that looked distinctly like hers and I was really hoping they didn't rip her off and I'm glad to see they didn't.
