" If you look closely one of those knives has a stamp printed on it that if you mirror it and put it through a hex editor and then blow the code through a version 1.037 of Team Fortress Classic then you get a console command that you can use in Portal 2 which gives you 1 letter towards a website address which gives the date for Half-Life 3. I'm sure of it. "
lol ... sir, I admit, that was awesome!

sounds like Dota 2 is Valve's next game after Portal 2 if Gabe is focusing on it in the offices.

I remember something about Newell having a knife collection, but it didn't have much context till you actually see it. Awesome, yet extremely sinister at the same time.

So the next next new Valve IP will be Knife Simulator.

Valve is located right next to White Forest by the looks of it.

I'm guessing you shouldn't mention Episode 3 around Gabe.

Gabe probably stocks up on knives to throw at anyone asking for an episode 3 launch date.

Actually I think that is the room they are developing Episode 3 in. Now we know why it's not coming out anytime soon. "
This made me lol :D

On topic though, what an awesome place to work. I want that sentry gun.

Also, Gabe is a knifesmith!

Don't get me wrong, i effin love the room with knives... but what was the reason for them? In any case, GabeN is now even more awesome (and he was already one of the awesomest).

Wow, could that Valve guy be any less engaged?  Ryan handled it professionally, but what a dick.  Deflate your ego abit and speak clearly into the microphone.  Dude was aloof like my students just before lunch.

So Gabe is obviously a member of the Assassins fighting against the Templars. All those knives make a pretty good case.
