There's Korean writing in Surgery Simulator...and has nothing to do with Half-Life.

So 1 hour and 15 minutes until we get the news, unless it's West Coast time. Or martian time.
Soooooo April 25, 2014?
Oh damn

Same, which is why I don't understand the people who are annoyed by this.
When did the devs confirm that it was real. The steamsupport on twitter only said that the update was for steampipe.

Saturn
Old English Sætern "Italic god," also "most remote planet" (then known), from Latin Saturnus, Italic god of agriculture, possibly from Etruscan. Derivation from Latin serere (past participle satus) "to sow" is said to be folk-etymology.
Identified with Greek Kronos, father of Zeus. Also the alchemical name for lead (late 14c.). In Akkadian, the planet was kaiamanu, literally "constant, enduring," hence Hebrew kiyyun, Arabic and Persian kaiwan "Saturn."
an ancient Roman god of agriculture, the consort of Ops, believed to have ruled the earth during an age of happiness and virtue, identified with the Greek god Cronus.
2.
Astronomy . the planet sixth in order from the sun, having an equatorial diameter of 74,600 miles (120,000 km), a mean distance from the sun of 886.7 million miles (1427 million km), a period of revolution of 29.46 years, and 21 known moons. It is the second largest planet in the solar system, encompassed by a series of thin, flat rings composed of small particles of ice. See table under planet.
3.
Alchemy. the metal lead.
4.
a U.S. space-vehicle booster developing from 2 million to 9 million pounds (900,000 to 4 million kg) of thrust for launching satellites, probes, and spaceships.

These threads are always a lot of fun.

Surgeon devs tweeted something like: so I hear you guys are trying to solve a puzzle.
or something like that.

Is anyone else tired of these ARGs? I feel like they went all out for the potato one and I can't deal with another.

Could you please explain what an ARG is to those of us who don't know what it is?

The Surgeon Simulator developers confirmed the puzzle on the bottom of the statue. Valve's ofifcial statement is still that the Korean text is just some translation error.

Then announcing it through a Half-Life 2 update was a move of senseless cruelty.

That would be great. That game sounded amazing.

The Portal and Half-Life (inspired?) films in the related videos are pretty amazing tbh.
토성의 밀도는 태양계 행성들 중 가장 낮다. 자전 속도는 빠르며 표면은 고체가 아니다. 이러한 요소들이 결합하여 토성의 외관은 회전 타원체 형태로 눌려 있다. 토성의 극반지름과 적도 반지름은 대략 10% 정도 차이가 나는데, 극에서 54,364km임에 반해 적도 반지름은 60,268km에 이른다. 다른 가스 행성들도 찌그러진 것은 마찬가지이나, 토성처럼 심한 경우는 없다. 토성의 중심핵 부분의 밀도는 높을 것으로 예상되지만, 전체적인 토성의 밀도는 0.69g/mL에 불과하다. 따라서 토성의 질량은 지구의 95배 정도이다.(목성의 질량은 지구의 318배에 이르지만, 반지름은 토성보다 20퍼센트 더 큰 정도이다
If you squint a bit you can see where it says HALF LIFE 3.
Can someone with the game provide some IN GAME context for that?
It seems to be on the bottom of a statue of the medic? Can you do anything with it or interact with it or put it in someones abdomen in surgery?
Is there anything IN Surgery Sim having to do with Saturn?
Can the times on the clock and watch change? Or can you only see this easter egg when the clocks say that time.
etc

Not so fast alien, I'm on to your language!
Saturn's density is the lowest of the planets of the solar system. Rotating speed is not fast, and the solid surface. These elements combine to form spheroidal appearance of Saturn is pressed. Saturn's polar radius and the equatorial radius of approximately 10% difference in smells, is 54,364 km at the poles to the equator, while the radius amounting to 60,268 km. Like the other gas planets, toHALF LIFE 3o distorted, or if Saturn is not as severe. The density of Saturn's core portion is expected to be high, the overall density of Saturn is only 0.69g/mL. Thus, the mass of the planet Saturn is about 95 times (318 times the Earth's mass in Jupiter's hard to tell, than the radius of Saturn is about 20% larger)
First line, if it's Morse code and not just hangman...
Could be...
A combination of the letters T, O, and M in any order. Tom?
It could also be a zero and a T if we involve numbers.
Inserting the two dashes for a second word.
Bah. Still working on it...
Code:

Code:
- --- --It could also be a zero and a T if we involve numbers.

Grasping at straws here but are there any astronomers in the house?
If so is it possible at any time to see Saturn in the night sky between Mercury and Venus? If so when will this next be visible from Korea?
Love these things that Valve do. Such a shame I am too dumb to figure them out, but it is great seeing people coming together to solve them.

I can read Korean. That's not what it says.

The statue is unlocked after you complete the TF2 themed surgery, and it is only placed on the desk used between surgeries.
I believe the clocks show what time it is on your computer.

The Medic statue appears on your desk after beating the piece of DLC. You find the puzzle by grabbing it, and turning it upside down.
Surgeon Sim DOES have a level taking place in a space station, but I doubt that's a part of the puzzle.

I'm going to laugh so hard if this turns out to be part of a FEZ 2 announcement.
I would LOVE that. Still need to finish Fez 1.

Korean alphabet (Consonant)
ㄱ ㄴ ㄷ ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ ㅅ ㅇ ㅈ ㅊ ㅋ ㅌ ㅍ ㅎ

I put this into Google Translate. In translates to English just fine, but my Valve-sense was tingling so I used my Half-Life Fan logic and switched the detected language to Swahili. I think the results speak for themselves.

We have to go deeper...
It's so good, it'll reunite North and South Korea.
It's in the tf2 dlc
