Half-Life 2 = Fool's Gold

[Aug 28, 2004, 10:38 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

A post to the HL2Fallout Forums purportedly from Valve's Gabe Newell raised a bit of a ruckus by predicting that a Half-Life 2 gold announcement would be coming Monday (thanks Borgie). A subsequent update on Shacknews, however, reveals that this post was faked, and not actually from Gabe. We are now prepared to land; Please return your stewardess to her original upright position.

How can people say that this isn't Gabe's fault? Its not like this is the first time he's had HL2-related security problems *cough*9/30/03*cough*.

I mean, anyone who knows anything about password security knows NOT TO USE THEIR OWN F*********N NAME! He could of at least made it 'gabeN'.

Now can you honestly say that if you were screwing around on HL2Fallout forums and just for the hell of it, spent 10 minutes trying to guess his password, only to get it right after only 3 tries, you wouldn't take advantage of the situation?
