Valve The Orange Box 2018 Exclusive Event Vacation Tiki Mug
in 0 collections
Valve arranged a large employee family vacation to Maui in 2018 and this was likely part of the swag.
Only given to Valve employees, this mug features several easter eggs known to game players. The Orange Box, released in 2007, featured a bundle of five critically acclaimed titles: Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Portal, and Team Fortress 2.
The most prominent feature of the mug is a Headcrab on top of the seated tiki-like figure. Headcrabs are omnivorous, parasitic alien organisms from Xen. These creatures have made an appearance in the majority of games set within the Half-Life universe. Spawning frequently throughout the course of the games, Headcrabs are guaranteed to be remembered by players of one or more Half-Life titles. Consequently, the Headcrab is the most iconic creature in the Half-Life universe.
The figure also wears a bandolier. Game characters, specifically in Team Fortress 2, wear bandoliers as part of their character design.
