I really wanted a Dota 2 beta key, So I asked

[Dave85]

Gabe rocks

 

[AMMUT]

Great story. Can I have one of your extra copies please?

 

[Jongo]

Haha, that's awesome! I have a friend who wants into the Dota 2 beta, so I'll recommend to him that he email Gabe with an attached picture of a duck.

Cue hundreds of people sending pictures of ducks to Gabe Newell.

 

[Gerard]

Link to original duck pic?

 

[hideki]

Haha good stuff, All hail Gabe.

 

[Raventu]

Aha, that's so awesome. Nice one, dude. I don't have a beta key, but I've also not got anything to play it on right now so... it'll wait a couple months before I even worry about it .

 

[Substance]

I didn't think the duck would be the most popular part of the story

Here's the full res version

Story is almost as awesome as the duck.

[Nigel014]

The duck is staring into my soul.

 

[Swi1ch]

With your new found wealth and glory, would be so kind as to donate one of the gift invites to a poor and unknown OCUK member?

 

[Zefan]

That duck is totally saying "WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?"

Serious <3 for that duck.

 

[Jurax]

This is why people love Valve.

 

[Well Splattered]

Loving this thread, loving the duck!

Wonder if they'd let me have a look at the HL3 alpha with this:

Well played.

I'd give you the full version for that duck.

There was a similar story on reddit a few days ago so this approach seems to work quite well (the pic the other guy sent was of a photoshopped Gabe Newell though). Very jealous, congrats

[clartymarty]

Aw man, I so badly want to play I could write to him but when you say you have hundreds of games I only have 9 or so.

New to pc gamining

I dont think it would work for me.
