Today’s topic: Valve. We hate them yet we love them. It’s
been a strange relationship with them for most of our gaming life.
When they release a game it’s always something that redefines
the genre. Look at the runaway success of Portal. I can guarantee they never
thought it would explode overnight like it did. They literarily created swarms
of new fans overnight. And while Steam had a rocky start, its greatest haters
are now some of its biggest ambassadors. But now the relationship is very
rocky.
We, the fans are clamoring like rabid dogs at their heels
for any smidge of information regarding Half Life 3. And zip has emerged. Because
of this a band of fans called A Call for Communication are staging a worldwide
play session of Half Life 2 on the 4th of February. So if you care
at all about it log onto steam and start shooting.
Its stuff like this that makes me feel all farm and fuzzy
inside. I feel proud and honored to be part of a community that cares this much. So who’s joining me?
