    Nine inch nails did a similar deal with year zero a little while back. Even with a bit of SSTv 'static'.

    Valve apparently has employees who enjoyed playing Beatles and Zeppelin records backwards and this is just an extension of that.

    Insane! I got goosebumps from that, specially seeing that I was listening to somafm's dronezone at the same time...

    Absolute class. What a way to set the fanbase alight!

    I tip my hat to the first person to get stuck into this as I would have just played the levels again and not even noticed anything.

    Goosebumps? I think I just wet myself!

    nice, a bit of fun news in the gaming industry. You would have though they`d all realised thats what it`s all about.


    HL is definately getting reloaded in anticipation of a sneaky realease of episode 3? Or maybe just some nice new portal fun on its way?

    Valve have very unorthodox methods of stirring interest in their games, pretty awesome, now Valve, we've messed the Portal fan base up, updated Steams UI, made Left 4 Dead 2 what about Episode 3 now, please?

    Who would have thought such clever people would play Portal, i'm impressed that they worked all that out.

    God I remember adminning on one of those, am I old?

    Anyway all this mystery and puzzle solving is a brilliant move on Valve's part and I can't wait to find out what it all leads to.

    I don't really mind Valve taking a bit of time to come out with HL2:EP3. I mean c'mon it's Valve id you expect different (L4D2 i know). They could turn Activision/EA and try to crank one out each and they suck. I haven't played a bad Valve game, some I don't enjoy (TF2), but not necessarily a bad game. They are always polished and mostly working right from the bat.

    Edit: There are some scarily clever people out there.
