Operation Crowbar!

[ReinWeisserRitter]

You could just give up on the series and respect a developer's apparent wishes not to beat a dead horse solely to please you.

No? Carry on then, if you must.

It is time to raise the crowbars my comrades. The plan is to send Valve as many crowbar related things as possible. We shall not stop until Valve is up to their nipples in crowbars.....or when the cease and desist orders come.

VALVe's been silent about Half-Life for 4+ years and it is time to pry it from them.
(Crowbar pun, we are not trying to force Valve's hand just show unrest)

-.Ways you can help us:
You can send a real crowbar to Valve!

Buy one from Amazon: They're pretty cheap! (around 7 dollars)

Postal address
PO BOX 1688
Bellevue, WA 98009

Dont forget Sending us your order confirmation picture!



It's about a month on, so i'd thought i would check in.

How's this going?

Theres only a simple rule
Dont add notes to your crowbar order.
Just send a picture. Dont write anything.
We must be silent. Just like Valve

EDIT: Removed the amazon link. The person who originally posted it on SPUF (Username: Slendy) put a reference in the link, so he would gain (probably) a commision on the sales. Sorry if it caused any trouble to you guys.

Whether their "we'll be showing off something with a 3 in it" is true remains to be seen.

I am going to laugh so hard if they announce L4D3 xD

Sorry, this just seems like bullying to me and, quite honestly, more than a little petty.

Bullying... how? Its banter.

OT: Actually a funny idea. Hopefully it'll distract people from whining about Episode 3 whilst they're tracking their crowbar delivery.

*sigh* It's harrassing someone simply because they aren't doing what you want. Anyone who participates in this is little more than a bully.

Fucking hell, lighten up - it shows people are enthusiastic for the games.

No, it shows people are entitled and only care about a game studio when they're giving them games they want.

I have to agree, this plan does come off as a bit demanding and bratty, even though I understand the impatience and frustration people feel after so much time has passed without hearing about the game.

But most of all, it seems so pointless and silly. No amount of fan badgering is going to make Valve change their plans for announcing HL3/Ep. 3, and no studio is ever going to talk about a game until they're ready to announce it and reveal what they want. That's simply not how they do business. I also wouldn't be surprised if the game is currently a chaotic mess that has gone through numerous iterations, on the back burner while new tech is being developed to showcase it, or if it is moving along just as planned and news is right around the corner. There's just no point in trying to demand that info from a developer like this, even if it is lighthearted.

I would too, because there's no way they'd waste their time developing those games. So if they DO announce them, it'd just be a joke made to troll the community.

Yet, I'd still laugh. I know they wouldn't be serious.

(and if they were....I'd seriously start to wonder about Gaben's mental health)
