Valve goes all biblical on fake server counts.

[Eri]

A guy started doing this to server's I was one of the admins of. He got half our server load but the second I banned him, He couldn't do shit. Was a guy by the name of Jorten5 {Lbplnt}

The player count is not meant to match to any Bible verses. There is no number to show which book it is from and so you can use any book meaning that a few of them will connect to some sort of smiting passage considering a huge amount of the verses in the bible talk about damnation and violence.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. Seems more like random numbers to me.

 

[MasterSqueak]

Source for this?

Also, where is the biblical connection? I don't see anything in that graphic relating the counts to, well, anything. As far as I can tell, you just picked a random book and plugged in the server pop. Not exactly attributable to Valve...

Look closer at the player numbers.

 

[TZer0]

Oh wow. That is so win.

I really hope fake server-counts disappear.. because they're really annoying. You join a server saying 7/32 and there's no one there. -_-'

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.

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?

Those are just NUMBERS. Where is the connection to a biblical book? How is the OP relating a number, such as 30/56, to a book, say, Ezekiel? I don't see any connectin to the bible in the pic. It's pulled out of someone's ass, otherwise.

 

[Captain Pancake]

It's the little things like this that earns valve my respect.

 

[Srkkl]

So Valve is really clever, at least they have one redeeming quality.

 

[Woodsey]

Hahaha, that's brilliant xD

 

[MGlBlaze]

Valve once again proves just how epicly awesome they are.

I mean, I'm not much for the bible/religion in general, but they selected the quotes very nicely.

 

[Eri]

Apparently you people don't read the actual thread or know much about this kind of thing in general. This was N O T Valve. Why would Valve lock and rename the majority of the servers? Be informed before you congratulate Valve on something they didn't and wouldn't do.

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.

 

[USSR]

Just another day at Valve, I guess =p

 

[Deleted]

Take that fake player counts, seriously its like taping a dildo to your empty region. You think nobody's going to notice?

 

[GrinningManiac]

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