God damnit. Got to.. that place in HL2, after having a blast in Water Hazard. I forgot.. just how they introduce the rattlers. It was like.. HOLY FUCK RATTLER! NO! MEMORY AND NEW EXPERIENCE! Fucking hate those fuckers. HAven't gotten damaged yet, but you'll never see me unload ammo so fast.

Rattler?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

http://i43.tinypic.com/2nj045.jpg This is being claimed as the BSOD image. Well done, sir. Where'd the picture come from?

The hex converted to decimal: 226 228 226 : 215 197 213 196 228 213 227 ( 201 ) + 211 197 197 197 If it's ASCII it's extended ASCII. Could it be EBCDIC (common mainframe encoding)? Edit: It IS EBCDIC. It spells: S U S : P E N D ... U N T ( I ) L ... E E E (colon, dots for spacing, and parens added to roughly locate them in the source image.) Hey, being QSECOFR on an AS/400 many years ago finally pays off!

Hmm.. GLaDOS A fatal exception E2 has occurred at E4E2 : D7C5D5C4 in E4D 5E3(C9) * D3C5C5C5. The current application will be terminated. * Press any key to flood the facility with deadly neurotoxins. * Press CTRL+ALT+DEL again to reinstate testing. You will lose any Non-vital personnel and their progress through the current test. Press any key to continue _

So we're waiting til E3? Damnit. Kind of shame that was solved that fast.

Ahahahahaha, goddamn you Gabe!

Rattler? Poison headcrabs. I guess they were referred to as rattlers somewhere in development, but I may be wrong.

"E4D 5E3" Everyone 4 Dead and Episode 3 confirmed Spoiler: show spoiler hide spoiler not really

Rattler? He's referring to the sound that poison headcrabs make, I'm sure.

So, when's E3?

Should someone tell the STEAM forums yet or should they still fight among the legitimacy of the photos?

Damn Mspencer, I think you are the first person to crack the blue screen, I don't see any other forums/areas where people have transcribed it to EBCDIC yet.

It clearly says the Beatles to be unlocked in L4D2, I don't know why noone else is seeing this.
