Once again, Valve's deceit fools an unsuspecting populace: Ricochet's release date on Steam is false. Ricochet released November 14, 2000 in the retail disc version of Counter-Strike. But fear not, for I continue my 20+ years vigilance against Valve's Ricochet lies! #ricochet2

Today is November 1st. You know why it's an important day? Because 25 years ago the best Valve selling game Ricochet was released! Happy Birthday Ricochet, we could never forget about you <3

After some consideration, I think I should apologize... Apologize for not posting even 'more' tweets stolen from me because I ran out of space the first time! Heyooo! #hackfraudery #hackplagiary #blinkingvideo

Have no fear, people! I've heard your calls, and I want to assure the public that I've been gathering the evidence to create the call out post to end all call out posts! #hackfraudery #hackplagiary JFYI, if you ever see a good tweet, I'd say it's pretty safe to assume I wrote it

I searched and could only find 20+ year old forum posts mentioning this, so here's the Return to Castle Wolfenstein "I need ammo!" reference in Sealab 2021. To any surviving show creators: See? One guy did recognize the reference. And I even remembered it too! Totally worth it!

@valvesoftware Good news, everyone! The artist has been identified! This piece was apparently commissioned a Half-Life fan out there and drawn by one "Karstens". https://t.co/NBOoZoUTZS But now this begs the question: Who was that fan?

After years of searching, I finally refound my favorite 90s Half-Life fan art of all time! Sadly, I lost the artist's name literal decades ago, but what mere name can do justice to a masterpiece? Hey @valvesoftware, please cancel HLX and remake this picture. #halflife

Today is the 20th anniversary of the original “WTF BOOM” meme getting uploaded to the internet. Many may not know this, but the explosion and laughter comes from our “Cold Fear” video we did for Ubisoft back in 2005. Thank you for keeping the legacy alive.

@YTMND See the full quality WTF BOOM! 4k remaster on YouTube. Full credit to @mega64 and @stevemoustache for unwittingly becoming a part of this fad (as we called them back in the day). Also, I belatedly apologize for any blown out eardrums. #ytmnd #wtfboom #fad https://t.co/BpuGxxOQEq

20 years ago today, July 14, 2005, I created "Link finds a WTF" on @YTMND, later becoming better known today on the Internet after it took a life of its own as "WTF BOOM!". To commemorate this 20th anniversary, I've remastered my original WTF BOOM! YTMND in 4k. #ytmnd #wtfboom

@WrestlingBios My treasured souvenirs from attending this WWF Raw are a couple ticket stubs, a Road Dogg bulldog plush, a Scotty Too Hotty foam hand, and a disposable camera's worth of blurry, overexposed photos from an 11-year-old me who was too short to hold the camera above the audience.

Spurred on by @WrestlingBios' latest Reliving the War, I reviewed the Sep 18, 2000 WWF Raw to try to find myself and my dad in the audience, and I think we're roughly among these blurry splotches. Thus, I can say I was on cable TV! Does anyone have a satellite feed of this show?

@valvesoftware This means we're also right on the verge of the 20th anniversary of my YTMND which became way more popular outside of the site, "Link finds a... what the hell is that?", better known now as "WTF Boom". I 'spose I oughta do something special for its birthday. #ytmnd #wtfboom #fad

20 years ago today, June 28, 2005, I created "What is Half-Life?" on YTMND, becoming my most popular site there which spurred an interest in creating more HL stuff. https://t.co/l0sLD8gPLr But it left one burning question: Hey @valvesoftware, what is Half-Life? #halflife #ytmnd

@dukenukemgame @valvesoftware And thus, thanks to a locker room door and Santa Claus, we can finally confirm that Half-Life, Duke Nukem, and Doom all canonically take place in the same canonical universe canon. https://t.co/bqKWhgHH2p Why did you tell us sooner, @valvesoftware @dukenukemgame @DOOM? #doomlore

In Duke: Nuclear Winter, Santa is voiced by Joe "SillySoft" Wilcox who also voiced him in the earlier Doom 2 WAD H2H-Xmas. Thus, Kris Kringle himself is irrefutable proof that Duke Nukem and Doom are in the same canon. Overdue crossover, @DOOM @dukenukemgame? #doomlore #dukelore

In this Duke Nukem D-Day build, the lockers in this science lab kind of look like the ones in Half-Life's Anomalous Materials Lab. It even has one labeled "Freeman" too! What are the odds? Boy, what a coincidence this is, eh @dukenukemgame @valvesoftware? #halflife #dukelore

In this book's Garry Newman interview, this screenshot is identified as being the original 1998 Half-Life, yet it's clearly 2006's Half-Life: Deathmatch Source! Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for this blunder, @bitmap_books! And why didn't you correct them, @garrynewman!?

In this newly-leaked Duke Nukem: D-Day build, the evil scientist's lab contains cloning tanks with Dukes from 1, 2, 3D, and even TTK. However, the fourth tank is empty! As if we're still waiting for that Duke! Maybe waiting... 'forever'! I see what you did there, @dukenukemgame!
