Valves April fools joke

[RJ 17]

Gotta say, I'm not even a huge Half Life fan...and by that I mean I've never played any of the games and don't know if there's supposed to be a space, dash, or nothing between the words "half" and "life". However I still got a decent laugh out of this due to how incredibly simple it was. "Click here to see a giant middle finger" is what it equates to. As I said, so simple, and yet exceedingly wicked towards the fanbase. They're officially just straight up taunting you about it now.

Valve didn't make this, but it's still pretty funny regardless!

See, it wouldn't have been funny if Valve made it.

Hard to make a successful joke and point out that you're, like, years behind on your work in the same breath... "You know what's hillarious about this? The fact that we're lazy and without pity!"... doesn't go over too well.

I think it would have been a brilliant F-U to people, regardless of pointing out their own weaknesses. They're obviously going to be aware of the almost meme-worthy phenomena of "Valve Time", so why not make a joke out of it?
