I really don't care either way. In almost every profession these days, applicants really do have to try and separate themselves from their competition in one form or another. In this case, she has done just that. If she finds herself applying for a job at a Valve, and her qualifications/skills are good enough to seriously…
It's game related but a point that stings me alot. [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNgjecJY76g&feature=player_embedded"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNgjecJY76g&feature=channel_video_title[/ame] Looking at the site here: www.erinvondrak.com Reply to it which I say stands:…

A free tour doesn't seem too far fetched to me, though it could be a golden opportunity for some griefer to play a prank. This whole thing still just gives me a big headache every time I see it, but fuck, she got noticed and I wouldn't put it past Valve to consider her for a tester position or something. It's just the…
