       | As many of you correctly assessed, we're actually a real company
       | in the Boston area. We're working hard to assure and secure
       | vaccine and other biological manufacturing production. As much as
       | we would be honored to be part of any Valve game - we do not work
       | in this sector at all. We are not secretly working on Half Life
       | 3, Project White Sands (whatever that is/may be) or any other
       | Valve title - we're just nerds working to secure the global
       | bioeconomy.

       | villain/location of one of the most popular games in history. Was
       | Cyberdyne Systems taken?

         | This is an obvious satire based on Half-Life itself. The logo
         | is an exact copy, it talks about resonance cascades, etc.

       | Smells like an ARG / marketing campaign. Their "want to talk"
       | email is "truthorconsequences@", they have two "blog posts" and a
       | list of vaguely related press pieces (none of which mention
       | them), their logo is clearly a derivative of the "other" Black
       | Mesa's.

         | definitely makes me think it's an arg.
