No mention of Peggle in the Orange Box? I played that a lot, along with Portal and Half Life 2 Episode 2.
Will, I didn't believe you until I searched it myself. I do remember wondering how I got Peggle at one point. I bet that was it!
Was Peggle just a demo or the whole game?
I was a 10 level special demo. You can get it for free now: http://store.steampowered.com/app/3483/Peggle_Extreme/
Looks like Peggle Extreme was a demo of Peggle Deluxe, included only with the Steam version of The Orange Box. Interesting. I don’t know that I’d consider it part of the official package, but rather a bonus marketing tie-in. Cool bit of trivia, nonetheless!
Now I want to play some peggle. So much fun.

Yeah. Kind of like the Super 8 level in Portal 2. I believe that was on the PC version only and it wasn't very long but kind of neat if you like Super 8.
Speaking of, didn't Gabe and JJ get on a stage and say they were going to work together making movies and games? I wonder what happened from that?
J.J. Abrams directing Half Life 3 movie, confirmed.
I wonder if that's how Valve plans on continuing the story and they are just waiting to drop the first trailer?
Oh wow, I remember all that speculation. We all were thinking... OK, so maybe it won't be a game BUT OMG HALF LIFE IS GOING TO BE A MOVIE ANDJJABRAMSISDOINGITOMG
Ok, maybe not "We all," but we ... me. Maybe just me.
