I wonder why Gabe thought it was a good idea to have his forum password set to 'gaben' after last year's code theft. I would have thought that he would have been a little more careful with security.

[EDIT] Bumclouds. I just read the rest of the thread. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif] *Cries* [/EDIT]

Let's just run through this again, shall we?

1) Valve gets hacked senseless, losing a large part of the source code.

2) Valve releases the whole fugging dialogue for HL2 with the CS download.

3) Now Gabe Newell looks a twat and gets his account hacked.

This game is truly a circus.

Not the game, the idiot whos running the operation. I just don't understand why it seems like no effort is being put towards common sense.

That may have been a hoax but with the preloading of HL2 already released to steam users, it is more than likely that HL2 is nearly completion in the near future so that is a bit of good news.

Thats right people, to get all of gabe newell's files, including full HL2, just go to www.valveserverarray.com. The user name is gabe, the password is newell2.

He expects us to put 1, that tricky guy.
