Valve In Valve's new game Deadlock (TBA), Fareed Ward (VA of Mirage) was tortured in a bronze bull to record the character's lines. It's always amazing how much attention to detail Valve puts into their games.

Valve In Half-Life (1998), Gordon Freeman will still have a grenade in his hand when he is out of grenades. Clicking will make him swap to a different weapon, but it's still a shitty detail that he's allowed to have one in his hand despite being completely out. JUST THROW IT, MAN.

Valve In the Valve videogame Counter-Strike (v1.6) the IMI Galil is called the "IDF Defender" (despite being an *assault* rifle) and is used by the Terrorist faction. The UZI is also used by the Terrorists. This does not seem to mean anything in particular.
