Valve is awesome. Much better than grumpy old EA.

Haha, reading these makes me want to send an e-mail to them. But I don't have a clue what to ask!

[QUOTE=ihatecompvir]I emailed Gabe but some other guy named Eric replied. Anyways, I emailed him about WHAT the demo says in the censor in meet the demoman. >snip<[/QUOTE] WHAT HAVE I DONE

My Message: [quote]Hello Mr. Newell. I have two questions that I would very much like an answer to. 1. Do anyone of your Valve employees go on to Facepunch Studios Forums (Also known as the Garry's Mod forums.)? 2. Is the Pyro male? Or female? We need to settle this dispute on the site! And if The Pyro isn't a female, what is the reason for the floral handbag in the cabinets? WE THINK ITS THE ANNOUNCER'S. Thank you for your time Mr. Newell, and good luck with future endeavors. Please Reply Soon.[/quote] He Forwarded to Erik Johnson, [quote]Gabe forwarded me on your mail. 1. Yes. We actually read the entire internet front to back each morning. 2. When you make a point in all caps, its really hard to argue against it, so I won’t even try. [/quote]

[QUOTE=IHaveAFace]Encouraged me to register![/QUOTE]Prove it please. We love you gabe, if you are gabe. :(

[QUOTE=Loush]Harraldsor.[/QUOTE] Don't know why the "n" in "Haraldson" got cut off from my fathers e-mails...? (Tomas.haraldson)

Dear Mr. Newell, To get straight to the point since I bet you're probably doing something 'important,' I'm working on a canon-based "Half Life 2 Alpha/Beta Leak" roleplaying community for GMod 10. As of right now, everyone believes that the official currency within Half Life 2 is "tokens", I don't know where they got it from but, if you could please confirm it or deny it for me, it would be great Also if you'd be alright, I've wanted to just ask a few more questions so I can get it right for once, I've always hated people using their own concepts and titling it "canon". Anyhow, as a community leader, I understand how much of a pain it is to respond to emails, it's probably a thousand times worse for you but I want to say thank you very much for being involved with your fan-base, I have to say, your team is the only development studio I can actually respect. Thank you for your time. -------------------------------- Marc Laidlaw It’s a fair question. I don’t recall coming down hard on an answer in the game itself, so I don’t want to make something up now. If you don’t hear specific reference to tokens in conversation, then it’s hard to justify their existence. There may well be token slots on vending machines, etc…but in fact if you push the button for a can of Breen’s Private Reserve, it appears to be free of charge. Citizens are given or issued basic standard clothing and food, so it seems like the Combine don’t encourage currency in their dealings with humans, and among citizens there may be something more like a barter economy. For your roleplay, you should come up with whatever generates interesting gameplay. I don’t see any egregious conflict with the game.

[quote] The plan is a week before we're in stores. -----Original Message----- From: [email]elevator13@optonline.net[/email] [mailto:elevator13@optonline.net] Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2008 5:52 PM To: Gabe Newell Subject: Left 4 Dead Demo To whoever has some degree of power over Valve and Left 4 Dead, would you kindly release the demo several weeks before November 18. Preferably on Halloween. [/quote] message too short

I asked about the AR2's model. He hasn't responded :( [b]Edit:[/b] I asked last night, too.

I got an answer from the composers when I asked a few questions about their music programs, and what they use. He was very specific and helpful.

[QUOTE=Hybrid 4F]Do you mind posting the reply?[/QUOTE] [quote]From: Mike Morasky (morasky@valvesoftware.com) Sent: Fri 10/03/08 5:13 PM To: '*****' (*****) Cc: Gabe Newell (gaben@valvesoftware.com); Kelly Bailey (kellyb@valvesoftware.com) Hi *****, Kelly Bailey composes and records all the music for the HL series. I know he uses alot of "real" instruments, ie: guitar, bass, synthes, etc. I also know that he used to use Logic for sequencing but switched to Cubase. I believe he used to do alot of his sampling and recording work in Sound Forge but has recently become a fan of Ableton Live. I personally do all my composing in Logic Pro and when using acoustic instruments record them and mix in ProTools. When creating sounds "in the box" I generally use the Native Instruments "Kore" series of samplers and synths along with some of the virtual instruments that come with Logic. Good luck, I look forward to hearing your results. mike[/quote] It was a pretty fast response, too.
