Valve is known for making polished and incredible games. In case you missed one of the billboards or commercials scattered about, Left 4 Dead 2 is one of those great games. I got to step foot in Valves office-of-awesome, and was immediately greeted by any fan’s dream come true.

You can't miss Valve's signature...valve. It's there right as soon as you walk in. I almost tripped over it.

A giant L4D wine bottle and a Heavy from Team Fortress 2. Can you say... Heavy drinker? No. No you can't. That's a bad joke.


I'm not sure what this thing is. Anybody help me out on this one?


I was having a hard time figuring out what game this is from. Did Valve develop Endless Ocean?


That's only what I found in the lobby. It's hard to believe a fortress of such unadulterated badassery is tucked away in such an unassuming office building. One can only wonder what's lurking behind the many doors of Valve's office...
