Gas Powered Games (Dungeon Seige) has offices there, but I'm not catching the reference either...

So does Valve.

Actually, Monolith is in Kirkland.

Valve is in Bellevue, south of Kirkland.

There's also a very popular Costco in Kirkland. Was the cheer heard there?

Sucker Punch (Sly Cooper) is in Bellevue.

There is no Costco in Bellevue.

There is a Krispy Kreme in Issaquah.

My brother bought a Samsung 50' DLP yesterday from Costco in South Seattle.

Ever since the release candidate for Half-Life 2 was submitted to VU Games in mid-September, a piñata has hung in the lobby of Valve's headquarters. The plan: to bust the sucker open when the game achieved gold status. Earlier today, GameSpot learned from an informed sourced that "the piñata has been broken" and the game has gone gold. Further evidence of the game's completion was a press release issued this afternoon touting the first review of "the entire game." Though nothing official has been announced yet, it appears the fat lady is at last clearing her throat.

From Valve's site

Valve is an entertainment software company founded in 1996 by Gabe Newell and Mike Harrington and based in Kirkland, Washington.

Sadly, Valve's site needs to be updated. They're across the street from my work in Downtown Bellevue.

Also, sadly, I have nothing to back that up with. However, I have read some Halflife2.net threads about visits to their offices there.

I hear Valve is in need for a manservant for Gabe Newall.

How fast can you make a sandwich?

A thick pile of shit stuck inside two warm slices of hype?
