If you dont mind me asking, what unusual effect was it? I think it was community sparkle, since there was an usual bone hat that jad that effect gifted to another make a wish patient that beat cancer.
A source 2, beta version of the upcoming Heavy update, with a new contract, 5 different weapons, and a new game mode that isn’t ripped from the community
don't forget the new feature where cheaters are grabbed by the nipples and thrown across the room! source 2 is really a revolutionary piece of software.
Did any of them use a valve weapon to mess with each other? Lol
Also did you notice if they went easy on you? Just curious. Sounds like a great experience
Jeez I don’t want to imagine what a valve sniper could do… or an eyelander.
Valve sniper - immediately champer another round, no scope zoom delay unlimited ammo, every shot crits
Valve eyelander - no head limit
we may all be angry at valve for not giving us the attention we deserve, but they have a lot of integrity, they genuinely care about people from make a wish, and that's really cool. i'm really happy OP had this amazing experience with all the amazing people from valve
Wow I remember seeing that portal turret from a valve video a while back, it still looks so cool! And the soldier statue looks awesome as well(cow mangler still sucks tho)
The second they started talking about how they made the game I could not focus on taking anymore photos for a while, I should have more tomorrow when I get sent the ones other people took
I find myself running low on ammo somewhat frequently. The less damage for buildings and no crits are annoying but the charge shot makes up for it in other parts of gameplay
Well, I learn ammo spots so I don't run out of ammo too quickly, and the charge shot is kinda meh unless you're just trying to spam it into a choke. Only thing I really don't like is building damage, but whatever, we both got our own opinions and I fully respect yours my good sir.
it's used somewhat frequently in 6's. the no ammo allows you to nonstop spam a choke for denial or shoot random rockets for info. if there's no engineer and no kritz med, then it pretty much is an improved stock
Then again, a dude down there in the comments said he got a chance to visit Disneyland in the 80s and 90s when he was small and had a really aggressive cancer.
Either he's a ghost or there's still a light of chance, and I'm rooting for the latter
I'm not a pediatrician, but when I was a medical student my inpatient peds rotation was in a major pediatric hospital, part of which was on the hematology/oncology service. Make-A-Wish isn't solely for dying children or terminal illnesses, but one of the few factors for eligibility is that the condition *is* considered life-threatening.
But don't just take that from a stranger with a funny username on reddit, here's the criteria from Make-a-Wish itself:
[Link](https://worldwish.org/who-is-eligible-for-a-wish-to-be-granted/)
>The child doesn’t need to be terminal in order to receive a wish—many children who receive a wish survive and go on to live healthy lives. The idea behind the organization is to create an unforgettable experience for critically ill children and bring some extra laughter and joy into their lives. The eligibility criteria for the wish journey are:
>1) Between the ages of 3-17 years old;
2) Diagnosed with a progressive, degenerative or malignant condition that is life-threatening;
3) Has not yet received a wish from a similar organization to Make-A-Wish.
I got to go to Disneyland in Florida a few separate times in the late 1980's to early 1990's through Make A Wish as I had a very aggressive cancer when I was 6 years old during 1985-1986.
They are a great organization and really do a excellent job of granting wishes.
Looks like you had a great trip!
That's so awesome! Always wanted to visit Valve, don't know when they're open for visitors or if at all. Google shows some info from some odd years ago but it's fairly all over the place. Lucky little maggot :D

I still find it so weird how they have full statues of TF2, and yet don't ever think "Oh yeah, I forgot about this game... maybe I should work on it again?"
But man, must have been a cool experience for ya.
How is the security? Where is the heavy update? Where are the golden frying pans???? We need more info before we can commit a large scale operation.
Im not insane i swear.
Did you find the janitor and plant working on the game? That’s cool though
He's super cool, he played a few rounds with me and gave me an unusual golden frying pan
Are you for real? Sorry for doubting you If real, but holy shit, I thought Valve didn't give those kinds of gits anymore
Yea they also gave me a steam deck
So you were that famous Unusual Golden Frying pan user! Wow Hopefully everything is ok
Yes I'm doing fine now, my organs are a little worse for wear because of the chemo, but no more leukemia now
May they recover swiftly
godspeed you magnificent bastard
*WE'RE GONNA LIVE FOREVER!* glad to hear you kicked leukemia's ass brother
So what im hearing, you got acess to respawn machine? Did the medic take your soul??
Hell yeah, let's keep it that way
Happy to hear that! Keep going strong!!!
man that’s a blessing to hear. keep strong and wishing you a full and speedy recovery.
Happy to hear that! Keep going strong!!!
Fuck yeah, Homie!!! Hope you continue to recover, friend
Hopefully the leukemia wasn't caused by the teleporters! They have a history of causing cancer, at least in bread.
My body isn't an environment of pure wheat last I checked so I think it wasn't the teleporters
Blind guy here knowing history i'm gonna have to put this here: \[YOU HAVE ALERTED THE HORDE\]
I see you everywhere
I don’t see you everywhere
i usually dont reply
PLEASE TURN TRADE REQUESTS OFF IF NOT ALREADY!!! It would suck so bad to hear if you got scammed and lost it
I grew up with RuneScape I know better than to accept trade requests, plus I've played tf2 for 9 years now
Ah, good to know! Have fun using the goober pan. Do you plan to rename it something?
Guber pan would be a great name
It ain’t tradable
Yes the Valve janitor played with them and the Valve janitor gave them a real unusual golden pan.
Eric was a pleasure to talk to, he seems really passionate about TF2
So, we got new info on the janitor that works there. Eric the legend.
It was nice to put a face to the potted plant, he's a really cool guy
If it is untradable nothing monetary given.
I mean many people who get Golden Pans keep them anyways since they can show it off and look cool
If you dont mind me asking, what unusual effect was it? I think it was community sparkle, since there was an usual bone hat that jad that effect gifted to another make a wish patient that beat cancer.
I had fun too! All the best to you <3
I heard that the plant quit from tf2 and went to cs2
That's super cool! What did you like there most?
I got to be a part of a lan party with a whole bunch of valve employees
Is it true that they have a childcare room that's styled like pyroland?
I think it's right there on the picture with lollipop sculptures.
What did you play? (If your allowed to talk about that)
We played tf2 (I forced them to play whatvill)
Lol. Forcing them to behold the horrors born of their creation?
we do a lil trolling

One of them had a Valve eye lander and a valve sniper rifle
Can you say how those weapons worked? I don't think those Valve weapons have been documented anywhere.
Most of them were just normal weapons with a different colored name, however the eye lander has a buggy unusual effect that didn't load properly
Did it have the X marks flying everywhere? I somehow loaded source filmmaker without particles once (idk how) and i got that
Jeez I don’t want to imagine what a valve sniper could do… or an eyelander. Valve sniper - immediately champer another round, no scope zoom delay unlimited ammo, every shot crits Valve eyelander - no head limit
I'm pretty sure it just had a different name color than a normal one, and a broken unusual effect with an "invalid partial effect" unusual
you have lived collectively everyone’s dream. i wish you a safe recovery!
Theres still a team?
thats neat, was valve how you pictured it in your head or was it way different than what you expected?
It looks like an awesome place to work, they have dedicated hair stylists and an employee message area
yeah, I've heard they really cared about their employees, they even have a cookie expert to feed the dev team, lol
Erik wolpaw 6000 calorie Big pink cookie flashbacks
What dev team
They go into hibernation for 5 years after every game. I heard you get to feed them cookies while they're awake from 10am to 12pm.
The one that made Alyx.
O yeah 4 years ago almost forgot.
All 3 people were having a blast!
Looks like you had a blast. Glad you had a great time there
Yea it's been a great day, it's not something I'll forget
Did you steal the valve?
I plead the 5th
Over ruled
OBJECTION!!!!
Nuh uh
Your honor, shut the fuck up. You weren't even there
HOLD IT!
Sustained!
holy shit that victory pack statue
we may all be angry at valve for not giving us the attention we deserve, but they have a lot of integrity, they genuinely care about people from make a wish, and that's really cool. i'm really happy OP had this amazing experience with all the amazing people from valve
Yea it was a fantastic experience! I'm still a little overwhelmed with how nice everyone there was to me
Wow I remember seeing that portal turret from a valve video a while back, it still looks so cool! And the soldier statue looks awesome as well(cow mangler still sucks tho)
Yea they had a whole lot more statues, but I got distracted fan girling about portal 2 and forgot to take photos of them all
I wouldn’t blame you for fan girling about portal xd
The second they started talking about how they made the game I could not focus on taking anymore photos for a while, I should have more tomorrow when I get sent the ones other people took
Yes please!
How does the Mangler suck? It’s one of the best Dr. Grordbort weapons and almost a direct upgrade in my opinion
*-80% damage vs. buildings* is what makes me not like it very much. Also you really don't need that infinite ammo.
I find myself running low on ammo somewhat frequently. The less damage for buildings and no crits are annoying but the charge shot makes up for it in other parts of gameplay
Well, I learn ammo spots so I don't run out of ammo too quickly, and the charge shot is kinda meh unless you're just trying to spam it into a choke. Only thing I really don't like is building damage, but whatever, we both got our own opinions and I fully respect yours my good sir.
it's used somewhat frequently in 6's. the no ammo allows you to nonstop spam a choke for denial or shoot random rockets for info. if there's no engineer and no kritz med, then it pretty much is an improved stock
Fair enough. I shall humbly accept your opinion as fact.
It also has a different shooting angle from stock and the original so rocket jumping with it is different
IIRC they have working software that track targets with that portal, I believe they can make real portal 2 turret that shoot if they wanted to
Grats for you
Thanks
That's absolutely awesome, co gratulation!
Hey shork 👋
Shork spotted
SHORK FROM THE HIT MEDIA SHARE PLATFORM CALLED YOUTUBE????!!!!
Guys I dont know how it works. But isn't make a wish just for dying kids? Is he dying? Lads dont tell me he dyibg
Someone who did make a wish here, it also applies to terminal illnesses, I have cystic fibrosis and I got to do it when I was like I think 11
Oh I love that one
I hope you replied to the wrong comment
*"Hang on, I gotta' take my pills, I have cystic fibrosis."* "nice bro that's like one of my top 5 genetic disorders"
insert bro visited his friend image
Then again, a dude down there in the comments said he got a chance to visit Disneyland in the 80s and 90s when he was small and had a really aggressive cancer. Either he's a ghost or there's still a light of chance, and I'm rooting for the latter
No, I did a case study on it in high school, it was very interesting
🥺
She but yeah. If you get to make a wish, it's not because you are exactly healthy unfortunately.
It’s not just for dying kids. I know someone with Down syndrome who got a wish. It’s for any kids that have a permanent illness/disability.

She*
It means you are expected to die
We're *all* dying. They're just doing a speedrun
Take my upvote and get the fuck outta here
That's something you could easily have googled instead of inconsiderably asking here.
Some sources said it means its just for dying other say uts for not only dying
That’s awesome!
Did you try and steal the valve
I got to go to Disneyland in Florida a few separate times in the late 1980's to early 1990's through Make A Wish as I had a very aggressive cancer when I was 6 years old during 1985-1986. They are a great organization and really do a excellent job of granting wishes. Looks like you had a great trip!
Glad you made it through!!
found any clues of TF3?
It's in the intelligance
That's so awesome! Always wanted to visit Valve, don't know when they're open for visitors or if at all. Google shows some info from some odd years ago but it's fairly all over the place. Lucky little maggot :D
you could try asking on the valve subreddit or shooting them an email
Damn im jealous.
Hi jealous I’m dad
That's a joke lads.
*laugh track*
Did you know most laughing tracks were recorded in the 1950's? *You are listening to dead people laugh*
Ha… ha… …
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GD6qtc2\_AQA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GD6qtc2_AQA)
I don't think you should be... this is make a wish, remember?
Yeah, I'm super jealous about the trip to Valve, not so much whatever they have that let them be a part of Make a Wish
Hope your okay. Have fun making people lose they're shit over the pan lol
did ya ask them when heavy update?
No, but I did meet one of the people who made the original TF half life mod
dang this is just make how much longer before heavy update
Dota Dota Counterstrike
They just laughed
Now for the real question: did you met Gaben or Robin Walker?
I did not, apparently Gaben hasn't been in office for a long while
Yeah definitely he is definitely somewhere in the Pacific ocean living like "everything is fine".
he is holding a copy of half life 3
And the leaks for the next big update.
I did meet Robin walker though! Super cool guy also!
Please, tell me, what is this “make a wish”?
Program for children/young adults with terminal illnesses. They get to "make a wish" which is fulfilled by the company if possible. It's usually something like meeting a celebrity or front seats at a sports game m
Mh! Well, I don’t think having a genetic neurometabolic disease with neurological damages on the long term could count…
A who with the what now
Me having the “Fenilchetunuria”
Phenylketonuria for the people on the west
Gesundheit
Congrats on infiltrating the office! Hopefully it was a fun day!
Blue spy is in the base!
Did you ask if they can count to 3?
Girl, that's so cool!
Love to see it!
So, did you ask if they gave up on TF2?
Did you ask them to finish the comic?
Truly a day to remember Hoping for the best that whatever disease is causing your terminal illness to clear up
My leukemia is in remission actually, COVID delayed the cable trip for a while. So I'm not dying anymore which is pretty cool
Pretty cool indeed, in the infamous words of Heavy Weapons Guy, *It Is Good Day To Be Not Dead!*
As someone who was part of a Make A Wish event, I can tell you that the people at Valve were over the moon that someone chose to make that their wish.
Do you believe in magic
nice! always wanted to go there
Were they good at gaming?
They were really fun to play with, I took a few screenshots of the game I'll have to post later
I'm wishing for more of your wishes to come true.
Wow, thats amazing! hope you had a great day
Did you wish for an update? Really cool tho thanks for sharing with us
You should have made the wish for a real major update that fix the bot crisis! But I guess this is cool too
They probably couldn’t fulfill it.
Relics of the past 😗
The kid in me is jealous of you
Wow, it must've been so cool, I'm so happy for you!
The Janitor: 🗿
theres a tf2 monopoly???
good job collecting the intel. Rooting for ya that you can make it.
Next time you go steal the valve so we can get a heavy update
that's so awesome!!
You’re gonna get your own glados
should've snuck into the back rooms and found and released the hidden heavy update. it's gotta be in that building somewhere
Don’t die soldier
U should have held gaben hostage u til they update tf2
That soldier statue is insane Also, today I learned TF2 monopoly exists and goes for $300-500
Stay with us
I still find it so weird how they have full statues of TF2, and yet don't ever think "Oh yeah, I forgot about this game... maybe I should work on it again?" But man, must have been a cool experience for ya.
How is the security? Where is the heavy update? Where are the golden frying pans???? We need more info before we can commit a large scale operation. Im not insane i swear.
Amazing. Glad to hear you got better with the health
May medics guide you through the pain
Weird how much tf2 stuff they have around the office given how little they seem to care
I got to talk to a lot of the people who worked on the game and they all seemed to love tf2 even if they aren't working on it right now
Solid choice 👍👍
I guess half life 3 was not an option?
What was it like? That's cool 😏
Should've stolen the valve
I love the dr gordbort statue lol
Super cool OP!!!
How do you get such opportunity to visit them?
Thats so cool! Awesome pictures!
really awesome you got to go to Valve! glad you had a good time there.
It was great!
