Congrats on the rather speedy retreival, Chris.
11 Soundwave // Aug 1, 2008 at 11:18 am
I’d post an obviously fake link asking you to join my new community, but that would just be in bad taste. ;)
12 Draco_2k // Aug 1, 2008 at 11:20 am
Whoah.
13 Da Gamer // Aug 1, 2008 at 11:37 am
Are you gonna unfriend everyone, because you gave me the idea to friend you.
14 Da Gamer // Aug 1, 2008 at 11:39 am
sry. i added a website to my name
15 Eathanu // Aug 1, 2008 at 11:42 am
You know, Valve has connections. Slip them a couple hundred and they’ll have the hijacker sent to your doorstep (or whatever you have near your door) with a complimentary kerosene-covered aluminum baseball bat. And some baseballs if you’re so inclined.
16 Ninja // Aug 1, 2008 at 11:47 am
They only do that to the Russians who leak their code.
17 trapped // Aug 1, 2008 at 11:53 am
Damn you for being enough of an internet celebrity (to Valve, at least) to be able to get your account back.
I feel like if that was me, they would have just said ‘that sucks’.
And by that, I mean congrats, any deprivation of the internet is terrifying.
18 Mr. Munchlax // Aug 1, 2008 at 11:57 am
@trapped.
Same thing happened to me a while back and I had to wait about as long as chris did. Hardly at all.
19 Dan // Aug 1, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Now there is only one question left: Is it really Chris who is posting these blog updates?!?!?
20 Newt Pulsifer // Aug 1, 2008 at 12:32 pm
Cheers!!
Chris shouts to valve: YOU ARE GREAT DOC!
21 Devlosirrus // Aug 1, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Score! I had a similar problem with my Paypal account once; some total cheese-dick hijacked my account and charged a bunch of payments to his own site. It was around $1800 altogether, but I had about forty bucks in my account, so the bank knew something was up and put the kibosh on the charges. Still pretty scary.
Still, screwing with a man’s Steam account? They have a special place in hell for him, sir, and all they have there is dialup.

Well, congrats on getting your account back. However you still need to get your hands on a Rocket-Propelled Chainsaw and give a nice surprise to the berk who did this. Film it and put it on youtube. =P
31 AlphaHawk // Aug 1, 2008 at 2:37 pm
Gratz. Mother fucker didn’t know who he was dealing with. Along with the rocket propelled chainsaw, you’ll take my barbed-wire axe into consideration yes? :)
32 Tiler // Aug 1, 2008 at 2:41 pm
WAHT THE FECK YOU DEFRIENDED ME MY LIFE IS MEANINGLESS IM GOING TO GO KILL MY PARENTS IN MY NERD RAGE OH EM GEE DOUBLE YEW TEE EFF
Congrats on getting that account back. A good lesson for everyone on why it’s a good idea to be a paranoid bastard on the internet, because half of everyone is either someone trying to scam you or someone trying to hunt you down and rape you. By my calculations.
33 ArmoredCheese // Aug 1, 2008 at 2:43 pm
No, no rocket propelled chainsaw. too crappy. A flaming rocket propelled chainsaw with a 9MM. cannon on the side, that shoots Shurikens and lightning at THE SAME TIME. Anywhoos, glad to know you got cha account back, man.
34 Snooglebum // Aug 1, 2008 at 2:51 pm
@ Trid3nt
It’s the web address for the blog you are reading right now. ^_^
35 Alexander // Aug 1, 2008 at 3:21 pm
Did superjazeero get his account back too? He’s still a part of the black apple host steam group but was online about 21 hours ago.
Also, have you seen that “Dragonuv SVD” thing on gmod.org? I’d like to see the jacker killed with that.
36 n00bie51 // Aug 1, 2008 at 3:25 pm
Glad you got your stuff back man. Just be cautious when people ask you to do things on the Internet. Like everything. Being paranoid is the only way to live.

42 Jackrabbit // Aug 1, 2008 at 5:58 pm
Oh i am embarrassed. i spammed there account. i will have to apologies
43 Aftershock // Aug 1, 2008 at 6:22 pm
Good to hear you got it back. Time for some TF2.
Lots of tf2. I suggest you see when he’s on and kill him exclusively.
44 Tim // Aug 1, 2008 at 6:44 pm
Good to hear you got your account back! BTW, they updated TF2’s official blog. Apparently, they’re announcing a new stage/gameplay style for the next update. I wanna hear the comments on that. Appears to involve a missile.

thankyou, thankyou, please, you give me to little credit. Anyway, im really happy that you got your stuff back, and saved me the trouble of torturing the guy who stole it. I mean, i could still do it, but you know, it might seem a bit pointless now that you have it back. But im just saying…*shrugs*….maybe….if your still angry?….so….um…..yeah…
47 rammingspeed42 // Aug 1, 2008 at 7:07 pm
Well, you defriended me to. I don’t think I could deal with this kind of rejection. Suicide just might be the way to go.
48 Bob Saget // Aug 1, 2008 at 8:36 pm
Yes, I agree with Rammingspeed! I say all of us that have been defreiended shall all commit a mass suicide to show Chris how neglected we feel. I also say we all hang ourselves in Wal-Mart as they are having a sale on rope. Hey, just because we’re gonna die doesn’t mean we can’t be cost-friendly.
49 Cpt. Falcon // Aug 2, 2008 at 1:07 am
Hey, just because we’re suicidally depressed doesn’t mean we have to give in to big crushing corporations.
i’m getting rope at IKEA.
*ties noose*
*jumps off of table*
*cheap poorly woven rope snaps*
*cracks head on table on the way down*
*dies painful 2 hours later from loss of blood*
*dying words were “dying on a bad note with chris livingstone, now frohman won’t talk to me when i get to heaven…”
lol.

tf2 blog has updated. They want ideas for new environents. I’d like to see a bluer based mountain with interiors built into the cave. Or a boat with the bases either end and a sprawling level to explore .

Or the old Hunted map. Or the old KA_Escape maps. :D

Yay for happy endings!
I say we sign the phishing website owner’s e-mail address up for loads and loads of bizzare and disgusting video and picture materials.
Also congratulations Chris on getting your account back!
55 narrator // Aug 2, 2008 at 5:18 am
it was a moving moment. The crowds rejoiced as their king sat once again on the throne. confetti fluttered down from the blue sky, and the streets sang with joy. the power crazed man who had stolen the kings crown yelled down among the deepest of dungeons, as men women and children took their turn firing rocket proppeled poison tipped chainsaws, with piano legs attached for some reason, at the bastard. And the day continued when the king made peace with their long lasting enemies, the Orcs, and happiness was shared across the lands. truly, it was a day of peeace when His Majesty Lord Chris Livingston the Third led his Legions of Commenteers side by side with the orc king Rammingspeed(lol). Together, they took over the known universe, then the unknown universe, then the partly known universe. Then, Chirs killed his Orc friend and became His Majesty Orc King Supreme Ruler Chris “The Mighty” Livingston The Third Who is Great, uniting people across galaxies in a communist kind of peace. The End.
56 jordan // Aug 2, 2008 at 5:19 am
the above post was actually me, i didnt want you to yell at me.
57 Companion Cube // Aug 2, 2008 at 6:43 am
Great Job! I knew Valve would help, since you DID make Concerned. If you need a rocket propelled chainsaw, just contact me :p. I’ll help. If that bastard is reading this, well…
There is no escape, since I have the Rocket Propelled Chainsaw Portal Gun that shoots out piano legs with a fire hose. YOU’RE DEAD.

63 Mouse // Aug 2, 2008 at 10:24 am
Well, we can always start a 1fort group. That way we don’t have to clog Mr. Christopher’s friends list, but can still indirectly idolize his godlike awesomeness.

@Duck
Well, there is a 1FORT steam group now. If Chris is interested, I can give him full admin powers over it that will allow him the same sort of connection to his most fervent fans. It allows you to organize events and make announcements in a more direct way than the blog (as in annoying messages that interrupt you right when you’re about that capture that point).

Cool. I once got my account hijacked…not fun. I got it back though. Not before one of my friends list friends also got hijacked-he didn’t get his back :(.
Oh well, enough with the pity talk.
By the way, if you don’t want that chainsaw…
I can sell you a pointy carrot. Great for stabbing, good for the eyes too.
102 Killa-Ewok // Aug 3, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Well, I trust that the torturing capabilities at VALVe are enough to teach the hacker a lesson. Otherwise, well, there’s a shitload of Chris-fans preparing a massive rocket-propelled chainsaw orgy in his asshole. BOINK.
103 jordan // Aug 3, 2008 at 5:36 pm
