- TonyCubed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11I wonder what the EA headquarters are like. Probably see developers chained to their computers or something! haha!
- rotten777, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10That looks like an awesome place to work. No wonder their games kick so much ass. They do it right. Rewarding their employees. No dumb dress code. Food supplied by the company. Freedom with the workspace.
And that kid is pretty lucky/funny. Here's a quote about his own picture:
"And, last but not least, I leave you pedo's with a shot of my faggotish, acne-riddled, 14 year old(I was forced to "dress nice" by my parents because "thats what you are supposed to do") self, right as I completed my playtest of Portal."
Funny kid! - lowtaxico, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10what
- Vironex, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10I wish I had a crowbar like that! Nice pictures, friend.

- unknownsoldierX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4In the picture of the knife collection, it looks like there's a didgeridoo or two in the back.

That's him, you idiot. Notice how it says "self" at the end?
The speaker is the 14 year old..learn to read. - tehkain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2He made this trip a year ago when episode one was still in dev/post testing.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4dugg for monty python reference
- crazybrit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2No offense to Valve, but after seeing the photo essay on the Googleplex, that seems kinda... lame.
- foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Did those awards by the window look like Star Trek insignias?
- NeilM, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Pictures http://picasaweb.google.com/neilvmoore/ATripToValve
- MixMastaMetal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Nice post guy! I love checking out in inner sanctum of a company that has taken so much of my money over the years. The pictures weren't all that bad, so don't fret. I'm sure if I was there I would be too excited to take any kinds of pictures.
- Cerberus047, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Is anyone else super curious about this project x thingy.... someone on the fourms said it was the crossing, i watched the trailer for it and im soo curious right now!!
- Fragalishus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Valve is definitely one cool company. Looked fun, kid.
- Chilllllion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1what the ***** is that supposed to mean
- Iced_Eagle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I've been to Valve three times, and it's one of the coolest places ever! :)
I'm surprised they let you take pictures even :)
sud0n1m: Valve is on the 10th floor, and part of the Portal team is on the 9th (though you wouldn't even know it if you got off on the 9th since half of it is business)
I was talking to one of the guys who worked at the hotel downstairs, and he was joking that it's really cool that Valve works there especially since otherwise it's all business people... He says that he would gladly hook them up with free rooms if they would give him free games :P
Anyways, nice pics and I hope you had a great time playing Portal :) The team behind it is a great group of people, and I know they will exceed all of our expectations with it!! - sud0n1m, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I was visiting a friend of mine at his office in seattle. His parents are pretty old and couldnt remember the floor and we accidentally ended up at Valve's headquarters - I think it was on the 8th floor or something... I remember the concrete floors. We didnt stay long and they were confused.
- Ruckgesicht, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Noticed that too. Kind of a weird talent to have (playing and spotting in photographs both I suppose.)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1why?
- rzurad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Its not that hard to get a tour at valve. All you really need to do is email Gabe and ask :)
- triath, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1He stated in that thread the trip happened over a year ago.
- Sp0rAdiC, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1daddar: did you find this after checking out the post about bbq-ing bees in the same forum yesterday?
- yohan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2His pictures are hosted on Photobucket, bandwidth limit exceedation imminent..
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i am so ***** jealous while it may easy for american im stuck here in trinidad

- Sneakeh, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1i am protected
:horses: - iprod, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Workout balls for chairs is so byob
- DRTED, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0If worked at Valve i would eat food and throw the knives all day, letting the nerds do all my work.
- brundlefly76, on 10/12/2007, -9/+7yeah nice, not AMAZING
- ILikeBeets, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I don't think those sketches he took a picture of were really the "original character sketches of Alyx and the Gman" though. That is slander my friend! Or is it Libel? eh, who cares. He was 14.
- Noize, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2do u have stairs in your house?
- PrometheuZ, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Bunch of psychos ifya ask me
- Talus, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2great article...except for the horrible self deprication
- sabster, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Scroll down to the last picture of his son.. and this is what he says:
And, last but not least, I leave you pedo's with a shot of my faggotish, acne-riddled, 14 year old(I was forced to "dress nice" by my parents because "thats what you are supposed to do") self, right as I completed my playtest of Portal.
What a great father.. calls his son faggotish and acne riddled. That kid must have amazing confidence. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+2it appears you've never been to a real game studio, and not some cookie cutter EA affiliate
- gamedevman, on 10/12/2007, -13/+2It sounds like this kid wants to get in the game development industry. I can tell you this kid is an idiot for spewing around fag / pedo talk and for associating himself with SomethingAwful of all places. Here's a hint to anyone wanting to get in the game industry, stay away from social networking sites and from cesspools of anti-social hive minded psychos like the SA forums. Forums in general even - they can literally prevent you from getting a job and they can get you fired from jobs too. No one wants to hire people who are disconnected from society and are essentially part of a cult.
Funny that most people I have seen that engaged in the SA forums ended up getting fired. Plus they had some of the most awkward social habits that I have ever seen.
