aka Rex Fortune, Adventure Seeker. Let's go kick some civilian ass!
- I've received reports that Steam scammers are impersonating my profile and sending friend requests. If you ever need to verify it's really me, always check for Verne and Varginha Remastered Playtest. In other words, if it ain't got Mini-Me in Varginha, it ain't me (in Varginha).
- As a non-joke addendum, I don't send out friend requests on Steam out of the blue. Always be wary of such impersonation scams. #vernetroyer! #varginha
- I see all these people always talking about Half-Life 3, and yet no one talks about the fact that the Stalker concept art in the Half-Life 2 anniversary documentary is so heavily cropped. Why do you not want us to see, like, 80% of the beta Stalker, @valvesoftware.com? #halflife
- BEHIND THE SCENES INFO: I wrote this tweet one year ago intending it as a flippant response which coincided with the 2025 reprint of Raising the Bar that'd also include this Stalker artwork, making it timely. But RTB '25 is yet to appear. @valvesoftware.com, when is the bar raising?
- I wanted to assure everyone that the Ivan and Monkey picture is not lost media as it had always been safely preserved. Perhaps by viewing this image you may also be a part in ensuring its historical legacy for future generations. #halflife #gordonandamonkey
- YEARLY THANKSGIVING REDNECK RAMPAGE FU FACT: If you "Yeehaw!" in a barrel, you're rewarded with a whole 10 bonus health points instead of the normal 1! Be sure to use this elite tactic to give yourself the edge in your next Redneck Rampage multiplayer competition! #Thanksgiving
- On this day and no other, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Ricochet, unleashed Nov. 14, 2000 with Counter-Strike. As its Steam page is wrong, I suggest finding a way of remembering Ricochet's correct birthday. It's easy for me since today is also my own birthday. #ricochet2
- Once again, Valve's deceit fools an unsuspecting populace: Ricochet's release date on Steam is false. Ricochet released November 14, 2000 in the retail disc version of Counter-Strike. But fear not, for I continue my 20+ years vigilance against Valve's Ricochet lies! #ricochet2
- I searched and could only find 20+ year old forum posts mentioning this, so here's the Return to Castle Wolfenstein "I need ammo!" reference in Sealab 2021. To any surviving show creators: See? One guy did recognize the reference. And I even remembered it too! Totally worth it!
- After years of searching, I finally refound my favorite 90s Half-Life fan art of all time! Sadly, I lost the artist's name literal decades ago, but what mere name can do justice to a masterpiece? Hey @valvesoftware.com, please cancel HLX and remake this picture. #halflife
- Good news, everyone! The artist has been identified! This piece was apparently commissioned a Half-Life fan out there and drawn by one "Karstens". web.archive.org/web/20020603... But now this begs the question: Who was that fan?
