Half-Life 2 Fool's Gold

[Zips]

Despite all the hints last night that it was fake, I didn't want it to actually turn out fake.



That's like the ultimate kick between the legs.

[DisturbedRoach]

Shit happens, he has tons of other stuff to worry about.



All is cleared up now, so live your life. Game will be out in couple weeks, I am sure you can wait that much longer.

XD, this is AWESOME. I love seeing huge numbers of people being disappointed. It gives me a funny feeling in my stomach.

I'm guessing Gabe Newell's password was horribly simple like cheese or something.

AHAHAHAHA great joke ...no, wait, that's not far from the truth !

This story IS THE SUPREME DEFINITION OF NOOB !

totally, I will now try to steal his cell phone as his PIN number is probably 0000 or his birthdate



They never learn

[Boomstick]

Hahaha, Gabe is retarded. I'm suprised his password wasn't "password".



Edit: And fat.

[David Johnston]

Come on guys, it's just a forum password. I'm sure Gabe has the sense to put a less vulnerable password on the data that matters.

[SolidSnake75]

haha half the video game world is dissappointed again.. I never believed the gold thing but then it was at gamespot so i believed for a while.. Now it died..

[ziggie216]

some how, his password is dumb as using 12345 or qwerty.... well atlease he learned something this time.

[Technical-Joss]

So much for "obvious scenario". What's that saying again?

"Only a donkey hits the same rock twice". Guess they didn't see our good friend Gabe coming.



Come on - gaben - how could you set your password to that? You should read "IT security for dummies". First your outlook express gets trojanned, now this. In 11 months time none the less!



UN - FUCKING - BELIEVABLE.



Be ashamed. Be very ashamed. OH and you too Cliffe (hl2fallout says

Who gives a fuck if someone guessed his password on a forum. I bet you can guess mine - I'll give you a clue - It's 'password'. Big fucking deal. Get over it.

[loker435]

lol that is pry how they got the source code they logged in under gabe with the password gaben lol and in an old news thing on csnation cliffe had his account password as cliffe and someone made a fake post saying he was quitting the CS team and everything.....i guess it was not cliffe's fault on that one if you find the news report but gabe i mean COME ON! this was just the ultimate in stupidity i am sorry i try and avoid bashing of any valve employee but come on!!! can we really trust this developer if they have a project manager like that??

[Mike424]

I appreciate the community involvement of using Half-Life/Counter-Strike fan based message boards and public email, but isn't just easier to post news on steampowered, or send out press releases? Ok, probably not. Still, there's always a chance this will happen again.

The funniest thing about that newpost is that it mentions cs:cz. I ALMOST forgot how long that game was in development :).



And as much as I would like to inflict a hugh amount of pain to whoever pulled that prank of, you have to admit that it probably was one of the best pranks ever. Just look at how many major gaming sites posted that HL2 is going Gold. cudos

Wow I'm right I ain't much on words.
