Valve Dude

Does anyone know who he is? You know, it's the guy from the Valve logo with a red valve in his eye socket. Who is he? Someone working at Valve? Certainly, he's not the CEO.

Maybe he's me, maybe he's you, maybe he's a she? We may never know.

I have absolutely no idea and a quick google search yielded no information.

Perhaps G-man..

or a male model... dum dum dummmmm...

They're just random pictures of people with valves grafted onto their
faces. I don't think there's any special significance to it.

No, but it's always this one creepy-looking guy. You know, it's the one when you start the game, the Valve music plays and the picture of this guy flashes on the screen.

It's gotta be a real guy somewhere, and I wonder whether he knows he's pretty famous.

You can see there's more than one specific guy. I think they just chose the photos for the creepiness.

What's hilarious is they haven't updated their website to list Half-Life 2 as one of their products.

"...just random pictures of people with valves grafted onto their faces..."

Yeah. I bet Valve just googled for some headshots and picked out this dude.

I wonder whether he knows he's pretty famous.

Nope. He is completely oblivious.

...and he's gay.

Yahn Bernier is the Vavle guy with the Valve in his eye.

The Black guy with the Valve in the back of his head is also a Employee of Valve software.

Man, how dod you know things like that?
