These Tests

[baron insig]

First and second have been and gone.

What are you're theories on the reason for these?

i reckon they are just for fun and too keep people like us entertained as well as allowing this forum to prevail over fallout :dork:

Discuss :: Dont flame

Don't forget the third.

 

[baron insig]

The third hasnt happend yet :O there was a scare yesterday but then a page got updated (when u put in move=s) which said this is not a test :thumbs:

 

[SMT]

Yesterday? You're miserably behind.

 

[baron insig]

i am ? probably

Anyhow do you think valve is wasting time doing these tests? they're cool and everything but they could just give us the game already

It's been announced as gold and it has a release date...

 

[baron insig]

but they could unlock it on steam .

Of course. Way to **** around with your publisher and get you into more crap.

 

[baron insig]

true.

it could complete bugger up the law suit but valve would have like the happiest fans ever

on a more serious note what do you think of the tests
:dozey:

There is no third test, that's just the admin panel for the website. Steampowered.com has one as well, nothing out of the ordinary.

 

[baron insig]

yeh we know there hasnt been a third test yet. just pictures of whiteboards from valve hq and LOADS of speculation and over analysis

 

[Syx]

Right. Someone will come along and flame me to hell for this, but out of all the lurking I do on these boards I am still none the wiser.

What are these 'tests' of which you speak?

Cheers.

im not gunna flame

Basically valve Have been Making up "quizzes" (bad description)

Where there are hidden links on there website www.half-life2.com

An example is

1) go to media
2) click the 6the pic on that page (when you hover your mouse over it pic changes)
3) Type in login nova pw prospekt
type in the box "barnacle" This is a new screen that valve realeased

That is one of the tests as well on the page where you typed in barnacle if you go to view ( bar where file edit is)
and click source you see a text art of alyx i think


My theory is the 3rd test will have gordon in text art cos Alyx n gman have already been done. i reckon it gunna be found on their site like 3 days before the realease and there will be LOADS OF HYPE

 

[Syx]

Thanks very much, that clears up that.

 

[baron insig]
