I figured I might as well confirm this story.
I wanted to be in the HL2DQ credits but I suck at speedrunning so I managed to edge my way in for letting the real runners use my serverspace and bandwidth for demo uploads. It was a great way for me to get in there without actually having to do anything requiring skill!
And yes, AaronJer is right. I'm quoted on page 79 of CGW issue 265. Some random comment I made about Hitman: Blood Money. I can't complain, that game rocks. And the cover is Sam and Max and HL2Ep2 which means it's ALL good company.
