I also notice when you click on the segments, things happen. The bottom segment requests a password.

Curiouser and curiouser...

Interesting site but viral marketing drives me insane now, its been done so much !

Everything does look very valve thought, the font used etc.

It's just a cool little fan made thing by the looks of it, almost certain infact.

Yeah I think it's a fan thing.

Ooooo, at the point he puts the brain interface on, read the text. Look very carefully;

FrenchTart · 24 Apr 2009 at 10:27

Wasn't this video posted a week or two ago?

Sleepery · 24 Apr 2009 at 10:28

Ooh

Episode 3 or something more interesting?

Damien. · 24 Apr 2009 at 10:29

Defo HL related, see my post just above.

Plus there is use of HL sounds in the video.

Strife212 · 24 Apr 2009 at 10:30

It seems unofficial though, they say the sounds are used without permission and there is music from Lost in there etc as well.

Episode 3 would be cool, from the perspective of someone other than Gordon

I was wondering why that made me think of Lost so much

Note the logo on the white magazine. Confused much !?

*image snipped*

Any chance you could make that a bit bigger, I can barely see that picture

Found this site too, seems to be the creators of the brain interface the chap uses in the video.
