I waited for awhile and didn't see anything. Also noticed there's a MySQL error on the page, so I wonder if that hindered it?

Can anybody tell me what happens? I lack the patience to sit through it several times.

Some nerdy dude with a bunch of facial hair. But strangely enough, not Gordon Freeman.

Haha, that's great, thanks for posting the picture of the gnome. I doubt I'll ever fully complete the game with him, but it's an amusing addition by Valve nonetheless.

Kudos to you Subject , that’s my favorite line of the game.

I was going to pre-order those cards but they won't be here until December 26 so I thought it was pointless, hopefully my portal shirt will be under the tree in the morning of the 25th.

Oh shi.. I just remember I have to pick up my Wii.

By the way is just me or Gordon Freeman Companion Gnome is one of the most underrated characters in the Half-life series?

I might as well wrap one of the gifts we bought like a WCC. Yes, it might end up ripped in pieces in the end just to reveal the present, but it will be fun having a replica of a WCC while it lasts.

...Or not. I'm too lazy when it comes to wrapping gifts.

On the website i typed in "login" username: Admin password: Portal and i got somewhere but i don't know what that does in the slightest

Alright, here's what i have so far:
> type in login to get to the login menu
> type in "GUEST" or "ADMIN" as username
> type in password "PORTAL"
> type in either "APPLY" or "DIRECTORY" (directory will show you the only file as of now (apply)
> complete a survey by Apeture Science!

I got to the end and it asked me for the ID, which I screenshotted, but then it said I entered it wrong, which I'm certain I didn't. But entertaining at least.

lol the survey is cute

it has 50 pages and occasionally a letter of the question flashes, if you write them down you can spell out thecakeisalie by page 48

then at page 50 it wants the longass number it gave you at the start but i didn't write it down, and if you type in the wrong thing it just says "stay at your workstation" and I couldn't get it to do anything else

Heh, I had alot of fun at the 'hidden' stuff in the room. :)

The TF2 models were already mentioned, as were the orange boxes. But did anyone notice the turret in the corner? Or the gnome on the chimney?

I'm still yet to launch him into space in ep.2 only because I'm too lazy to carry his ass all the way through most of the game.

The UIN(+L) number can not be remember for the following reasons:

1) It keeps changing
&
2) It's in lowercase and you can only type in UPPERCASE

Well as for you all having trouble getting past the code part at the end of the survey, it's impossible to enter correctly. If you watch closely the code changes numbers as it flashes, so it's impossible to get the correct one, since there is no correct one. Also, it says the password is case-sensitive, and you can only type in caps ;)

please +rep me for this discovery :)

Did you notice the symbols on each stocking. And did you notice that when the mysterious visitor appears, the gnome is no longer anywhere to be seen?

Coincidence? I think not!
