How about this? Just some musings that popped into my head during a "cornflake induced thinkin' session". Here it is:

Valve release Steam and engineer it so that everyone requires it to play the most anticipated PC game in a long time (ie. Half life 2). Hidden inside the code, is a little bit of clever program, to make your computer part of Valve's network. Then, when absolutely everyone in the developed world is connected, they strike. Computers everywhere will start buying Valves stock like crazy, spending everyone's money on Half Life 2 hats,
T-shirts, Novelty Lube, anything. But here's the catch, each of these items has a special type of chemical in, which soaks into your skin and makes you a Valve zombie. Voila! Instant world domination. And Doug Lombardi and friends are rich.

Feel free to dismiss this as premature senile ramblings, for the simple fact that that's exactly what they are. Thankyou for your time.

Think we might need a bit more support than this. Oh, and this vague threat to my sanity won't stop me from buying Half Life 2. As much as I'd hate possible world domination, I think I'd rather experience the amazingness...

Hehe, I buy it.

Let's take Valve HQ before anything else happens.

FORWARDS COMRADES!
