Just answer me this... How many cakes have you received from fans?
I think something everyone wants to know is your pay. But for some reason not many people like to say their yearly salary, but it'd be interesting to know what one of the best game developers pays their employees.
Q: The game you're working on, is it a sequel or a brand new game?
Is Adam Foster on the Portal 2 team? I loved loved loved Minerva, and he's been implicated as one of the ARG designers, so if he's doing any level design or story writing or anything like that, that'll boost my anticipation for Portal 2 tenfold. ps: Portal was amazing, and you should feel amazing
:lovewcc: Thanks for sharing.
Wait they've had something of Portal 2 for a YEAR? :byodood: [editline]08:54PM[/editline] I want to know what goes on in Valve. SO BADLY.
I just remembered: I have babies. Would you like them?
[QUOTE=Inspector Jones;20601270]Q: Have you ever helped with anything on Team Fortress 2?[/QUOTE] I've helped them playtest for about an hour or 2 every week, but I can't think of a single thing I've programmed for them specifically.

Yes, he's part of the Portal 2 team.
Did you have a hand in the recent portal updates?
hey don't ignore my post!
Are there any other games that Valve is working on right now besides Portal 2 and the TF2 Updates?
[QUOTE=fullmetalninja;20602300]Are there any other games that Valve is working on right now besides Portal 2 and the TF2 Updates?[/QUOTE] Left 4 Dead 4 Dead.
So wheres L4D3?
Will L4D1 ever get its bugs fixed? Map Exploits? Valve has really neglected both L4Ds with updates and fixes. They're the only games that are never updated seriously. (My favorite games, not a hater/critic, I just want a solid answer)
[QUOTE=Gummylamb;20602291]hey don't ignore my post![/QUOTE] These figures are still pretty accurate for average salaries in the game industry: [url]http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=23264[/url]
Tell gabe I said "Where's Episode Three?!" :mad: I still love Portal, by the way.
Q: What is Gabe like?
Can you ask Gabe if he can send me some Common Infected [sp]Uncommon too, would be nice, but if im asking too much, then tell me[/sp] skins from Left 4 Dead 2? It's tedious to port them, as their textures are all in black and white and im too lazy to give them skin color myself. and thank you for being awesome!
Guys, seriously, give him some space. Awesomeness takes a break too.

[QUOTE=AshtonArdoin;20602690]Awesomeness takes a break too.[/QUOTE] No it doesnt, I would know because of how awesome I am.
[QUOTE=Camp er Joe;20602494]Q: What is Gabe like?[/QUOTE] Gabe is crazy smart... the fastest thinker I've ever met. Talking to him is like playing chess against a grand master. He already knows what he's going to say, what I'll say in response, what he'll say next, and what I'll say in response to that... but you still learn a lot in the end. He's super passionate about entertainment and treating customers right.

I heard Kim Swift left Valve. Is this true? And if so, for what reason?
[QUOTE=PersonGuy;20602066] Adam kicks ass and I loved Minerva too. Yes, he's part of the Portal 2 team.[/QUOTE] BRB Reserving lots of money for Portal 2.
[QUOTE=wonkadonk;20602944]I heard Kim Swift left Valve. Is this true? And if so, for what reason?[/QUOTE] This. Oh and also, I want to start programming, any books you can recommend for me?
