Gabe Newell: Welcome to Valve HQ. Hopefully you have already been able to enjoy our vacant reception area, the scale-size TF2 sentry, and vending machines in your quest to find an unreleased version of [game name here]. You're probably feeling a bit sure of yourself that you have managed to make it this far without anyone calling law officials or feeling the wrath of the after hours janitorial crew. But since we feel that all people should be able to enjoy our titles, whether or not they acquire them legally, feel free to make your way to [Valve department here] to find your copy, but remember that we are not making this easy.

As you were listening to this, we have sealed all the entrances to the premises, including any you've made, and our security system is now releasing a deadly neurotoxin that will flood all the levels of our HQ. If there are any employees that are caught in its wake, they will die eventually though they have since made a living will and signed a statement knowing that we are not responsible. Additionally, we have set up plenty of turrets and other military-grade defenses that should hinder your progress, giving you more time to enjoy the neurotoxin as it fills your lungs and induces blood-filled vomiting.

As you struggle to find [game title here], please also take the time to enjoy the many commentary nodes that we have peppered throughout the premises. These nodes will tell you about the development of [game title here] as well as answer other popular questions like the release date of Half-Life 2: Episode Three, the true gender of the Pyro, our possible involvement with several political assassinations, and my favorite drink.

To listen to a commentary node, put your crosshair over the floating commentary symbol and press your use key. To stop a commentary node, put your crosshair over the rotating node and press the use key again. Some commentary nodes may take control of the game in order to show something to you. In these cases, simply press your use key again to stop the commentary.

If you live, which is highly unlikely, please let me know what you think after you have had a chance to play. I can be reached at gaben@valvesoftware.com, and my favorite pony is Pinkie Pie. Not like you'd live to tell anyone about that. Thanks, and have fun!

Turret: *opens to reveal copy of Portal 2*
Brandon: Oh... thank you.

Pfft, what idiot would just grab Portal 2? Grab the HEV suit and crowbar, and you're the world's most untouchable man in an instant.

Hey, while you're in there, see if you can find the glass shell they're keeping HL2:Ep3 in, and then look for the release switch.

or just hold a big cube in front of yourself and crouch. Then you can just crawl up and knock it over.

but at least when the turret runs out of bullets it makes a lovely greater "hello, are you there"

He didn't specify which kind of turret it is.

So it'll probably be a Combine Turret, an Aperture Turret, AND a Level 3 Sentry Gun.

Hey, it's a good suggestion. The other two doors lead to an Antlion Guard room, and a room full of his favorite class, the Spy.

With this still up as the top picture, I feel the need to mention that this man has the same first name, last initial, and Valve obsession as a friend of mine. But I know it's not my friend due to the coherent spelling and grammar.

Wait... no submissions for a couple of days.

What happened to Shawn?
*Cutaway to Shawn in the Valve Enrichment Center testing Gaben's new feeding troughs*
Shawn: No more! No more! I can't eat another bite!
Gaben: So you aren't going to break into Valve again?
