I don't know if this can be counted as a game, and i don't know if anyone else has done this on gaia, but whatever.
Basically, you say a 'Did you know?' question telling us something obscure things pertaining to Valve that most people who play Valve games wouldn't know.

Did you know that the GoldSource engine (The one that Half Life uses) is actually a modified Quake engine? It spawned from the original Team Fortress game, which was a quake mod, and then Team Fortress (Classic) was created to replace it.

Did you know that according to the construction set of half life 1 and 2, the only thing contained in the GMan's briefcase is some paper and 2 pencils?

Correction, That is only in half life 1, in the second game, there is nothing inside of his briefcase. It is most likely just an easter egg and non-canon. The contents are three pencils, two scribbled pieces of paper, a 9mm handgun, an ID card, and a PDA. Did you know that there are two synths seen in half life 2 that haven't shown up in the game yet in combat? they are unnamed but I managed to find a screenshot of them, someone noclipped in closer to them, they are off in the distance near the end of the game. http://www.hlfallout.net/images/content/enemies/full/synth_full.jpg

Also, bonus round.
Did you know Half Life 2 was origionally going to have children in it? But then they suddenly introduced the reproduction supression field.
They even designed child labour camp levels.

Did you know that the atmosphere in Half Life 2 was originally going to be poisonous? The black guy your first talk to would give you a gas mask.

Did you know that Gordon Freeman's name was going to be Dyson Poincare at one point and the game was intentionally to be called "Quiver" as a nod to "Quake"?
Also, before the whole Poincare part, Gordon was a Space Biker named Ivan?

Did you know voice actor, Robin Atkin Downes, for the Medic from TF2 voices the main characters of my favorite Wii game, Travis Touchdown of No More Heroes?
...I wanted to say that because I like No More Heroes. xD

I did write a huge list of voice actors from TF2 and L4D, but my computer crashed, and I'm too lazy to rewrite them all. So I'll just state one.
The voice actor for Zoey in Left 4 Dead (Jen Taylor) also did the voice for Princess Peach in various Mario games (Mario Kart, Mario Party etc), she also does the voice for Cortana in Halo.
A lot of the extra voices in Left 4 Dead (helicopter pilots, boathouse radio etc) are voices of characters in Team Fortress 2. Which is interesting.

Yeah, Valve, just like Bethesda, have a habit of reusing their voice actors.
Anyways, Did you know that originally, Ravenholm was going to be called traptown, and there were combine soldiers in it? Additionally, back then the AI for the soldiers didn't suck near as much, but they had to dumb it down to make you actually able to kill them all, they used to chase you around and bust down doors that you blockaded.
