 		Finally got access to the Steam forums... Let them know about the Kirkland address before they start beating down doors they shouldn't be. Razz

On Friday I decided to download P:SA for Xbox as I was feeling nostalgic. I played through on Sunday. A few days later, this ARG rabbit holes.
Wow ... "rabbit holes" is now a verb.

Maybe, its hard to say. Here are all the images from the BBs thus far:

Here are some of them using a color terminal, making them much easier to see.

 		Wow. This is pretty damn amazing. Can't believe the Steam thread grew so fast-- 101 pages as of today O_O


Anything else happen today? I can see they found the password for the BBS, but that seems to be about it.

I'm having some difficulty believing that Valve would go to such a great length - writing software, adding achievements, creating those stegonographic images - just to hand out a single screenshot. I think this is just the beginning.

I imagine that to be the case as well.

BTW, it's not the first time they go through great technological effort...

That was for the original release of Portal.

Yeah, you gotta get in on one of those Steam sales where they push it for cheap. $19.99 is too much for that short a game, but the sales make it worth it.

 		Over the holidays it was down for five bucks.

BTW: For those doing the achievement, Test Chamber #15 is borderline impossible. Shocked

ETA: Well that was fun. But I did a full play thru and only got 22 of the 26. I wonder if they're in the achievement maps, too.
