I hope you'll like having me and my comics here.]]> Mon, 20 May 2013 14:01:36 +0000 http://www.valvetime.net/threads/new-arrival.243446/ http://www.valvetime.net/threads/new-arrival.243446/ Mythos Mythos 12 Hi, I'm aKew I'm aKew from Germany and I really like all the Half-Life games, especially HL2DM. I was lurking here for a while and finally registered. If you want to play a game of HL2DM with me just add me in Steam. :)

In my spare time I upload HL2DM matches (mostly competitive 1on1, 2on2) on my YouTube channel. If you are interested in this kind of thing, check it out.

That's all for now. Have a nice day!

I created a hole in the space-time continuum by misleading you with this amazingly original thread title. Actually, I'm here to introduce myself. My name is Lncr, which is my actual birth name. I live in the paradise that is cloggyville, a heavenly place annually invaded by drug tourists wanting to buy cheap weed.

I love Valve and all games they make, except Alien Swarm and Dota 2. I thought I'd get that out of the way right now. So basically I'm here waiting just like you for future technologies developed by Valve and hopefully a sequel to HL2:EP2 and I like discussing things. (I mean 'discussing' as in 'lurking about and not posting until something really aggrevates or surprises me').

Other things I love are chicken tandoori and having teeth to chew chicken tandoori with.

I hope I've not caused you any traumas so far. I shall then go ahead and start asking away in a new topic. :dummy1:

I've just put that smiley there and I can't figure out how to delete it. Bollocks.]]> Tue, 26 Mar 2013 08:48:56 +0000 http://www.valvetime.net/threads/bye-there.243303/ http://www.valvetime.net/threads/bye-there.243303/ Lncr Lncr 7 Hello guy'S

the sad truth about today's web citizens is that they tend to lurk about before accustoming themselves to the brazen rabble that are people, rather than the other way around.

i am part of this sad truth.

i also share your love of Valves.

i am also game-savvy.

I am a big fan of Valves games, especially Half-Life series.
I love beer, gourmet burgers and football.
That's all :)]]> Mon, 28 Jan 2013 17:34:45 +0000 http://www.valvetime.net/threads/hello-everybody.243110/ http://www.valvetime.net/threads/hello-everybody.243110/ Frozegrew^ Frozegrew^ 4 Hurray for me! I'm a noob!
I'm new on the forum... I love Half-Life... That is all...

Ok, ok... I'll expand a bit. I love HL so much I sometimes imagine myself telling my future kids about the day I first played HL (like a boring and geekier HIMYM). Back then I was still a kid and I only got internet at home recently so most of the gaming news I got where from magazines and such. I wasn't really exposed to all the hype surrounding HL so I still remember how it made me feel playing through "Unforeseen Consequences". How I felt finishing it for the first time (I so rarely finish games more then once).

My steam account is almost 9 years old and between PC and Xbox360 I have all steam titles (except for CS:GO strangely). I know owning them on console is like a horrible mistake one can make but from time to time I switch from PC gaming to console gaming (something I always end up regretting where it not for the Forza Motorsport IP) and as a result my PC sometimes resembles a very expensive paper weight.

I would like to wrap it up by saying that I can't take the pain of waiting for HL3/HL2:EP3 (or as I'm starting to accept it: Half-Nukem/Duke-Life'em) and I'm looking forward to find here a support group of other players experiencing such grief. And news about Valve... Gotta love Valve! (Actually I'm kinda hopping for a new ARG to announce HL3 with Source 2 soon and I hope hanging around a place like this will keep me on the loop).



TL;DR? -> I'm new on the forum... I love Half-Life... That is all...

If you are considering finding big, trophy dimension seafood, recall to utilize a larger sized lure. Bigger species of fish are generally attracted to larger sized bait while small fish are certainly not as eager in an attempt to follow bigger victim. Consequently, modify your bait dimensions consequently based on the fish you would want to get.

On the whole, a lot of people who go sport fishing wish to catch anything. In case you are some of those folks, perhaps you are asking yourself what will best ensure that you get the excitement of reeling some number of sea food in therefore you don't go residence bare handed. The most functional bait which catches quite a number of sea food may be the "earthworm" or "nightcrawler". Line it with a little or medium-sized catch and wait around for a fish to start swimming apart from it before you decide to jerk your rod and set the connect.

If you are searching for a good catfish bait by using a a lot more subtle scent in comparison to the vintage stink lure, then take into account throwing by helping cover their sausages. Function simply a chunk around your hook, cast it casually then permit it to kitchen sink on the underside and stay till you receive a nibble.

Take along a flashlight together with your fishing tackle is a superb strategy. On extended travels it will make packaging-up at dusk much easier. Even when you are a number of you will not be out in the evening, a flash light can still be helpful for discovering dark recesses and getting dropped items of products.

As you now recognize, angling isn't a difficult subject to understand. Anybody can come to be good at angling within a short time period. It's wonderful going outside the house and figuring out how to catch meals for yourself. It builds figure and lets you have a soothing pastime that you just as well as a good friend can enjoy.]]> Thu, 08 Nov 2012 12:39:23 +0000 http://www.valvetime.net/threads/sound-advice-for-your-angling-vacation.236364/ http://www.valvetime.net/threads/sound-advice-for-your-angling-vacation.236364/ initteAlbubre initteAlbubre 1 Aloha Wed, 24 Oct 2012 05:48:57 +0000 http://www.valvetime.net/threads/aloha.231760/ http://www.valvetime.net/threads/aloha.231760/ Spitfire-m3 Spitfire-m3 4 what is this place how did i get here

I joined the ValveTime a while ago (I don't really know when My profile says May 21st), but I never did anything with my account. So I decided I'd try to be active now.

Games I play by Valve are Portal 2, Half-life 2 and Team Fortress 2, with Portal 2 being my favorite. As far as video games in general goes, I play Halo, Pokémon and Zelda to name a few.

So yep, hopefully, I can make some posts around the forums. ^^
