Glad to randomly bump into this as I was stupidly having thoughts of rebooting Metrocop.net now that I've learned a bit more about coding. Thanks for indirectly putting some sense into me. Seeing as it's ValveTime's second rebranding (after Halflife2.net, if I recall correctly), I'm not sure...

I always considered it an AI that the Combine used to communicate directly with troops and citizens, whereas Doctor Breen's broadcasts were more focused on propaganda. That said, I believe the uncorrected proof of Raising the Bar actually gave a proper answer to the question, but I can't seem to...

Hi, guys. I've just released the third chapter of my ongoing comic series. Posting it in its entirety here will probably be a huge load, so I'll just link you guys to the respective page. Just click the cover: You may want to read the first two chapters in advance, actually. After all, this...

I pretty much believe in the entirety of your prophecy, although you should point out that it'll happen only two generations from now, when Gabe Newell Jr., Jr. is CEO of ValveSoft, the largest software conglomerate in the World.

Or maybe you just don't get it. Try to imagine getting hundreds of e-mails and tweets asking about HL3 every single day - of course Laidlaw is sarcastic about it nowadays.

I think Marc Laidlaw's sense of humour flies well over the heads of many.

Most likely so, I'm not arguing that. But the reactions to the news, i.e. the replies to LambdaGen asking whether it should be done, weren't particularly positive. Now, if you guys are having turf wars, it's not really my business, but the fact is, some people didn't seem to like it too much...

And I do appreciate the open arms at all times, even when someone disagrees with the content. Without meaning to sound sycophantic, it's the mark of a good administrator. I don't know, maybe it was just my perception from the amount of tweets in a short time. LambdaGeneration's Twitter feed was...

Fair enough. I'm not of Valve, so I don't know how they'll react, and I just wanted to voice my personal concerns, nor spur a debate and much less troll anyone. I've spoken my mind and I've gotten replies, and that's all there is to it. I do hope you're right regarding the effect on Valve - and...

I really appreciate the honest response and taking the time to reply to these concerns, and, of course, deciding which content the site runs with is none of my business, but I still believe it penetrates, to use your term, a little too far. It's not my fight and it doesn't affect me in the...

Look, I respect your opinion. And I respectfully avoid discussing it further. Like I said, hope you're right. Otherwise, ValveTime is screwing with Valve and that's not good.

Okay, that makes no sense, but suit yourself. I hope, for everyone's sake, you're right, but I still sincerely doubt so. But we're getting nowhere anyway, so, you know, my qualms with this situation have been made, I won't bother arguing that the "ARG" where we break into Valve's private...

So your justification for leaks is "Valve made it happen"? Are you forgetting how Gabe Newell reacted when the Half-Life 2 beta was stolen? He wasn't particularly wink-wink about it. I'm not saying it's the same thing, but Valve is a company. Their projects need to be kept secret, so I doubt...

Considering how you classify it as a huge oversight, you clearly can see my point. And I'm sure you realize Valve will be very affected by this - even if it's not a major leak in terms of content, it does show Valve's internal affairs to the public and there'll probably be some legitimate...

Guys... don't you feel like you're crossing a line here? I mean, this is a big breach of Valve's privacy. You guys helped GabeN track down the guy who stole and leaked the HL2 beta ten years ago, now you're letting everyone know what Valve's been doing. Admittedly, there's not much here we...
