He apologized about the issues and said they would get better (they absolutely did, when I did an account recovery several years later it took only a couple minutes), and hoped I enjoyed the game. After playing it I responded with my thoughts (obviously great, HL2 was epic) and he thanked me for my feedback. Gabe is awesome.

      Literally the start of the video they explained the setup, they were told the Deck would be delivered to them and needed to be signed for so someone had to be home. As it turns out, the signing part was a ruse to ensure someone saw him in person.
      Also, either way, do you really not wear clothes at home? (Edit:) simple, you put a mask on to answer the door and make sure you are properly dressed either way, what socially depraved person are you that you wouldn't do that? You also can't tell if they're showered at all, you are just talking nonsense.
