It would run on the same system regardless, I wouldn't take anything found in the files with too much of a degree of importance. Though it is certainly interesting (Granted we've known the majority of these files have been around a while.) A lot of it can still be old code from when it was just going to be another Episode.

He writes the story. Valve does the rest.

Yes, which therefore means he is a Valve Employee. And as he is the one who said the things in CS:GO are just the artists having fun, it is therefore a Valve Employee who said it.

"Real employee" is limited to people who don't contradict wild fan theories.

Obviously.

Besides, technically "not true" is a subcategory of "unconfirmed"...

K guys, don't believe anything long-time Valve employees say, but do believe any claim made by anonymous messageboard posters. That's how we'll get to the bottom of all this, clearly.

Interesting. Although I wouldn't say the "androids" is the Borealis secret. Or at least what the Combine wants. There must be something bigger, if it was only androids, the ship wouldn't have dissapeared for years and then reappeared after Gordon blew City 17 up. And, judging by how Eli talked about the Borealis, it may contain something that would probably cause another Resonance Cascade if used.

If anything, I'd believe that the "androids" where there to defend The Project. Aperture Science Military Androids, anyone?

I think Valve is trying to connect story between Hl and Portal.

Problem with thier being AS Military Andoids is that the Borialis vansihed in the 1970's. Long before Aperture started work on androids. Unless VALVe rewrites the storyline again. sm
