We all know about Gmans first test, with ascii gordon and a greet to Half-life2.net.

the second test is here!
The preload of HL2 gave this image -
User posted image
.
If you look in the meta text there, it says "password is nova/prospekt this is the second test".
Password? For what site? This...
Click on the bottom right image in the top row

It will ask for a USER/PASS; Guess what? (a image of nova prospekt AREA in half-life2 can be found here)
User: nova
Password: prospekt

You will come to a black background with a little Querybox.
Look at the page source - Ascii Alyx and a bird, just like in The First Test; But whatnow!?
A question?

AND WHATS THaT FUCKERS NAME!?
Thats right, enter barnacle in the little QueryBox in the black-bg page.
A beautful gordon-getting-strangeled image!
You have passed the second test.

Thanks to Nimbus1951 for enlightening me in this little matter("<Nimbus1951> go post it... just mention my name thihi").

The image on that changes to GMANS face when you hoover over it.

Interesting, these secret pages...

That piece of art of Gordon getting strangled was on the cover of a PC Gameplay about 2 or 3 months ago, nevertheless, a nice piece of art...

Thanks, ZombieLoffe!

Valve are making "tests". looks like they do have humor over there anyway ;)

It's all in the marketing. Whoever posted the solution first probably works for Valve's marketing dept.

I passed the first test, now I passed this one! What's next? Hopefully a test that will give some info on the game! (if not the game itself)
