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.
Rock, Paper, Shotgun
Seasons Greetings From Valve

That did just make my day. Christy! I hate flu.

They’ll just keep on trying until they run out of cake.

You should watch it on valves Aperturescience.com and watch it 3 times, something will have changed in the movie.
23/12/2007 at 14:45 roBurky says:
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.
23/12/2007 at 14:48 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.
23/12/2007 at 14:57 Zygorator says:
Ah! just checked again, and it seems to happen randomly.
23/12/2007 at 14:59 go says:
didn’t find any changes

Once again we get awesome fan service from Valve that somehow TOTALLY avoids being ass-kissy. Gods among men.
23/12/2007 at 15:20 go says:
well, it somehow didnt work in my browser (just stopped looping after ca 20 times), but you are supposed to see this:

I was totally expecting G-man, though…
23/12/2007 at 15:37 Zeh says:
Zygorator: it’s random, 1 chance in 15 of happening.
23/12/2007 at 16:14 Seniath says:
Adorable on so many levels, from the Santa sign, to the gnome, to, well, everything really.
23/12/2007 at 16:29 steve says:
Valve is great!
23/12/2007 at 17:01 Alex says:
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.

:/
Meh?
23/12/2007 at 20:32 Peewee says:
Yeah.. ugh. Kind of them, but pretty effortless.
24/12/2007 at 00:30 Veri says:
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.
24/12/2007 at 12:29 FaceOmeter says:
Love the gnome. Fly, my pretty one!
24/12/2007 at 16:16 Andrew B says:
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?
26/12/2007 at 06:00 Kaltano says:
I -love- the turret tucked behind the crates in the darkness watching over bait… the cake is a lie!
