Gordon Freeman visits Kleiner's Lab

Valve might want to get the plumbers in to fix those leaky Steam pipes [Groan -Readers].

Further to our story yesterday that a bunch of kids handy with a hex editor had managed to crack Steam's file storage system wide open and view unofficially released Half-Life 2 video content, one such video has now been whored across the interweb without so much as a sniff of involvement from Valve.

Sorry Valve - but rest assured everyone thinks it looks amazing!
