I was just about to pop in here and ask the question “Does anyone know what is on the pedestal to the left of the crate? Five gold stars for the first correct answer” when I notice that old Cargo Cult here snuck in and beat me. He’s future-psychic, guys!

Not only that but he succeeded in slipping in a link to his development blog while he was at it. Impressive :P

I must admit to originally mistaking said golden crowbar (see top of linked picture) for some sort of handrail attached to the fish tank. What a mistake-a to make-a, heh?

@Ben – Well, the “Next Month’s” page of the magazine you imply did indeed claim that this coming issue will contain reviews of the Orange Box games. While that particular page is regularly over-ambitious (to put it politely), I think we can be fairly certain of reviews in time for… hmm, tomorrow as it happens.

The pedestal to the left of the crate holds the Holy Golden Crowbar.

I’ve often wondered if anyone has tried breaking the crate with said crowbar. And what would happen to said person afterwards.

Ritual torture upon the Almighty Valve?

So if you’ve bagged the net exclusive… does that mean that another, non net, paper based publication that you all sometimes work for might be putting out an earlier review? Can anyone whisper confirmatin of the Orange Issue for the end of sept?

The surroundings make me think of Soviet decay.

Its not very well rendered either. Is that Source? Nice textures on the floor tho :P

Crates are *such* an FPS cliche too. VaLVE: must try harder.

You lucky devil! Is there a headcrab pinanta waiting to be smashed?

You guys are doing some great work. Some fine articles, great little snippets of news about those quirky indie games folks and now jet setting around the world to get us the scoop on the orange box.

Little RPS has grown up so fast!
