Seasons Greetings From Valve

How can we not post this?
Merry Thankmas, Gametrailers
Did they get a choir to sing it, or is it magical digital music? I’m too inept to know. What matters is that they bothered.

You should watch it on valves Aperturescience.com and watch it 3 times, something will have changed in the movie.

I hadn’t noticed the first few times I’d been linked to that, but the decorations on the tree are the TF2 characters in taunt poses. Awesome.

Martin says:
Can someone confirm that Zygorator isn’t yanking everyones chain? I’ve watched the bloody thing ten times in a row and can’t find anything that changes.
That could of course just be me being blind so you don’t need to tell me what changes – as we lack spoiler tags, just that something changes.

Ah! just checked again, and it seems to happen randomly.

Once again we get awesome fan service from Valve that somehow TOTALLY avoids being ass-kissy. Gods among men.

I literally JUST finished Portal (Blasphemy, I know, but I just borrowed the Orange Box off a friend… I’m poor.)
Now I understand everything you were all saying!
That … song!
Must… fight … urge … to replay!
So many other games!
Genius.

Yeah.. ugh. Kind of them, but pretty effortless.

I find that pretty neat, and considering what with everyone whining about everything in TF2 and who knows what else, I appreciate their effort for the small gesture.

I was looking for the TF2 content in the scene, because I saw one of the stockings had its logo.
I then realized the characters were all the ornaments on the tree.
Yay Valve!

Why are there [Supply] crates in this portal video unless this is some kind of non-time paradox clue?

I -love- the turret tucked behind the crates in the darkness watching over bait… the cake is a lie!
