Is that update box some kind of sick first aprils joke from valve? "Knife collects moisture, jump to run faster, clean your gun, if your shotgun jams fill out a form by pressing F1? This has to be a sick aprils fools joke thing, and it's pissing me off...

Yeah...but it also kind of was an update on 4/1...not 4/7....I bet you wouldn't think that just maybe someone else would have noticed the update on April Fools day and posted a similar thread, but oh well.

Meh I knew that if it was an aprils fools joke (witch I was about 95% sure of it was, the other 5% represent that it was another kind of prank) but the point is I have nothing to do right now and this thing... I just had to make sure.

I thought it was rather funny myself..people complain about the lack of realism in games(CSS),and valve made a joke of it

No, it's real, don't believe what these people tell you. I have to air out my knife all the time now thanks to Valve's stupid patch. ;(

lol Chris, when did you tell people about that? i found out from some members after i complained Gabe lied LOL, you made me look like a fool, like a fool i say! I dont think i can forgive you.
My mate thought it was real he came to college 'you seen the update they f00ked up the game good' I went along with him for half hour and then i told him, he wanted to die!

LOL i love Ennui hes so committed to the cause. The thing is i didnt twig even though i went to the HL fallout forums and looked for Gabes post in the site discussion, i looked in every forum, and searched. Nothing. Even though you mentioned HL fallout in the post. Yet even though that was odd...i didnt think it was a joke. I coulda busted you :) You loved every moment of it didnt ya, how did you reveil it was you? was there a post? i never saw it, i just got humiliated by some leechs and headcrab members lol.

The thing I was referring to on HLFallout was the joke they made about Gabe leaving Valve and joining a folk band.
I revealed it was be partly by posting this link as Gabe, which you may remember.

Awesome! you got your own php thing! I've never seen that. The Gabe concert thing was my thread (http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=77085) funnily enough. It was a great trick though. Can't believe it...so obvious. I gotta give credit where its due, it was pretty well done.
I overheard some people in my common room talking about the update as well. They said 'fill out forms to fix the shotgun jam? what the hell i wanna shoot, what am i supposed to write on?' and a dumbass said 'ask if you can lean on someones back' hahaha i swear thats what they said. :D

Then opened the game and tried airing my knife out before filling out some forms :o
