Valve goes all biblical on fake server counts.

[suhlEap]

that's amazing, i wish more companies would do things like this. it makes a nice change from just banning people and nothing else.

 

[Sporky111]

Wow, this 100% makes up for all these years without HL2: Ep3 or Portal 2. Good job Valve, this is one epic act indeed.

 

[randommaster]

I suppose that's funny and all, but why aren't they working on Ep. 3 with all this free time!!!?!

and I hope they don't turn into wisdom tree 2.0

I hate religion, but I can put that aside to appreciate this level of awesome. GO VALVE! Now get on Ep. 3 dammit.

Whoa...Not only does Valve have way too much time on their hands (which could be spent on episode 3), they just passed the threshold for EPIC AWESOMENESS!

For everybody commenting on the Ep. 3 situation, it's already finished, but they just want to wait until people start saying that Valve will never make it, then they'll release it to much praise.

As for the Bible quotes, awesome.

That last one will lead to your early demise. I'd go ahead and abandon that...
People are already saying that... Have you ever seen Valve Time? The running joke is that their games NEVER come out. I think that's why most people didn't like the idea of L4D2. Change is scawwy (Flanders)

Where would I find this "Valve Time" you speak of? Is it something like -4:00 GMT?

It's more of a guide, really. Feel enlightened: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time

Ah, more wikis to squander my free time away. Thank/Curse you for this awesome/accursed new web page.

It seems you're already accustomed to the way Valve communicates with us. You should do fine...

I'm not so much concerned with the communication as I am with wasting all my time between this new wiki, youtube, tvtropes, and other wikis. I am very close to not being able to get anything done.

Everything else is quite overrated. I've been neglecting to study and the like by listening to new music(and trying to see just how many 20 minute songs this new artist of mine has), Figuring out (thought a bit late) why Audiosurf is actually fun, playing through all 4 generations of Pokemon, random movies/animes (I'm watching Dr. Horrible's Song-Along Blog later today!), and... uhm. Well, I'm sure I'll find more for me to do.

Why accomplish anything when you can accomplish nothing?

I generally try to specialize my time wasting. For example, having one of every pokemon in my PC boxes, finding every song in the Touhou games, and trying to read every entry on tvtropes.

That last one will lead to your early demise... I'd go ahead and abandon that one...

I know. There's even a page about it. [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife] I'd make more jikes, but I just spent the last four hours on that site.

[Optimus Hagrid]

Awesomely, due to my awful computer, the only part of PC TF2 I can enjoy is the server browser. Loading Steam right now...

 

[atol]

I very seriously doubt Valve had anything to do with that, besides, of course, making the game. Everyone attributing this to Valve isn't even attempting to consider the situation, and that angers me.

Well, in Disgaea, you get up to lvl 9999, then you start over at level 1 and go back up. Eventually, you get to the point where you can deal millions of points of damage with a single attack, where you can kill enemies who are thousands of levels above your own level.

Have you ever played Riviera for the GBA? Yggdra Union, by the same studio, was infamous for its "bathing scene" that remarded players for exploring like they had OCD, but Riviera practically just hands you not one, but two scenes of the main character sneaking into the baths. The game's an RPG, but there's an optional, hilariously corny, dating sim element to it as well.
