where was the box from

[susko]

i was just browsing trough some stuff in the silo and i found a box with lots and lots of stamps, so i suppose it was sent from far away, now the question is where it was sent, it must have been sent over 20 years ago (or maybe the combine lost the war to the post office, and we are all including the combine just pawns in the hands of the post :hmph what do u think

I work in the post office. Who the hell uses stamps for parcels?

edit: looks kinda like a usps customs form, by the by

That's obviously a combine parcel. They do things a little differently.

yeah its so obvious since there is a fragile symbol on it
and has stamps of human faces on it...

 

[jimmyjam]

do you require pink text?

I'm going to agree with the OPs original theory of this being a massive postal conspiracy.

G-Man is in the box!

...Good one, Kin.
Anyway, that's likely just a random box.
VALVe pays a lot of attention to detail.

I've seen that box throughout HL2 a few times, also here in the UK we use stamps on parcels; My eBay adventures taught me this.
It's another thing that makes HL2 so realistic to me, the European environment is so familiar and uncanny.

maybe I'm just lazy, but printed postage is a hell of a lot easier

OMG! Have you no respect for the ancient art of stamp licking!? The delicious paste they use on the back of stamps? The variety various food chemists in the industry have concocted through decades of dedicated research to bring you the latest in specially flavoured stamps, such as Fruiti-Glueti and Apple-strudel Paste? Why, stamp licking should be a national pastime and deemed criminal if one does not partake in it at least once a week!

Harrumph! Youngsters nowadays!
