No idea. No idea what to do next either, but it probably has something to do with the fancy ASCII-art in the HTML source... :) -- Paul > > Man, if you people want to play this game you are going to have to get your > > brains going.

Err.. how do you view the source? MSIE and Nutscrape both just ask me for a username & password if i try to view the source, then give me 'authentification failed'... W????n : are you gonna give us the username/password to see this thing or not? :) SignatureBen Cottrell AKA Bench "Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." - Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989 > Err.. how do you view the source?

He gave us the password, and the username is a five-letter word associated with Half-Life beginning with 'V' and ending in 'e'. Not hard. You get a website with a picture of the G-Man that tells you that you passed the first test, and as far as I can see, that's all. The HTML source has easter eggs, which may be clues on how to proceed. I tried a few obvious things, but got bored. This is not a very interesting game. -- Paul > > Err.. how do you view the source?

He gave us the password, Weird! When i tried that earlier, it didn't work, but it just worked now :) ... neat ASCII art... But i don't know exactly how one was supposed to "complete the first test" without being given the user/password... where do the clues come from? and the > username is a five-letter word associated with Half-Life beginning with 'V' and > ending in 'e'.

I don't see what else there is to continue with, there's no links or anything like that... not very interesting indeed.

But i don't know exactly how one was supposed > to "complete the first test" without being given the user/password... > where do the clues come from? I figured that you were supposed to be enough of a l33t h4X0R to figure out the username & password without clues. The username is guessable, but until W????n explains what he's going on about, the password will remain a mystery to most of us. Where did the link come from anyway? Maybe that's where the clues are. > I don't see what else there is to continue with, there's no links or > anything like that... not very interesting indeed. Well, since the message says "first test", logic suggests that there is a second one. The first one wasn't exactly obvious, so I thought the second test might be similar hidden, e.g. in the HTML or CSS. -- Paul the HTML code contains Gordon's head drawn in ASCII art. > > Weird!

They were written on a whiteboard at Valve, where a load of fans/journos got a visit recently. Valve obviously knew they'd take pictures of *everything*, so set a simple puzzle for the fans. They didn't take into account that the dummies wouldn't photograph the whole board, and therefore they missed part of the password. One sheepish email to Valve later, the big secret was revealed...

The numbers in the password are a little tougher. Neil Jones is close with the grid reference. I did not say this was "thee" HL2 game, by the way. Just something vALVE has put out for some reason. > Neil Jones is close with the grid reference. Close? They point to somewhere in Russia if read as a grid reference. I'd almost say I'd be interested to know what *else* they do, but... I'm not. Having read some of the messages on the Halflife2.net noticeboard, I have to say that a) no-one can come in here and accuse *us* of being 'fanbois' any more, and b) they're really not that smart. They had to email Valve for the password! A.I. it ain't... ___ Neil AKA HighVis "I ONLY LIKE SERIEUS REACTIONS!!!!!"
