Suddenly that logo makes sense. They’ve been planning to tap our heads all along! Well, maybe it’s not quite that serious, but Gabe Newell recently said in an article for Edge that he’d like to hook players up to, among other things, heart rate monitors and EEGs. That way they can tell if you’re really scared.

Let me make things easier on you, Valve. Yes, we’re really scared. Half-Life was scary, Ravenholm was scary, and now Left 4 Dead is scary. Do you really need to rubber stamp it?! And while we’re at it, why is Gabe writing for Edge and not slaving away at Episode 3 or Portal 2? God!
