[QUOTE=fullmetalninja;20602300]Are there any other games that Valve is working on right now besides Portal 2 and the TF2 Updates?[/QUOTE] Repost for Person Guy to see, I don't want to know the name of the game I just want to know if they are working on another game
Personguy, thanks for being so awesome. :buddy:
Thanks for answering my question! Much appreciated.
Danke for being awesome.
Oh, I didn't realize this thread was made by PersonGuy until now. Awesome that you spoke up and are answering questions, man. Always good to hear a friendly Valve voice, since most of the time the only image I can make in my head when thinking about Valve employees is a bunch of hunched over, snickering fiends rubbing their hands together and peering over their shoulders at me while they whisper amongst themselves about their next grand troll. :v: Which leads me to my question. How much do you guys love reading the commotion online after you release a big tease? Give me an estimate on how much laughing occurs.
Whats your steamID?
I'm sorry if this is an innapropriate/rude question, but since you work for Valve, whom I assume makes tens of millions every year with only something like 200+ employees, about how much money do you make? I 'm just interested because Garry only gets paid $5 dollars for every game sold and he's already a millionaire...I imagine that you must have a couple Lamborghinis laying around in your mansion.
I have one question, and it's been bugging me for a while. Now I can ask it. Does making a "Gabe's fat" joke really get Episode 3 delayed by x amount of time? I'm not trying to be crass or rude, either :smith:
What do you do in your spare time other than programming?
PersonGuy, I wish I was you. :smith:
do you work on the EP3 Team? if so, What the hell is takin so long [editline]12:48AM[/editline] Also, in the magazine cover on Game informer that shows the cube and the portal room, does it look that good ingame? what i mean: [IMG]http://www.platformnation.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/portal-2b-439x525.jpg[/IMG]

And yes, I'd like to know if Portal 2 is going to have dynamic shadows and shit too. That would be quite sex.
I've learned so much, I had no idea about almost anything in this thread, so much awesome information.
Stop asking about Ep3, it will be done, when it's done. "Valve announces brand new game coming out this year" "Thats great, but WHERE THE FUCK IS EP3" Seriously, Just be happy we're getting a new game.
This thread became "Ask PersonGuy a question about Valve" thread.

I want to know what you guys think of the fans, especially when they're riled up. Was there any time in particular that you thought we were all morons (Left 4 Dead 2 announcement;Removal of Idle Prgoram Hats for example).
So PersonGuy, Who thought of the cake thing? [editline]01:32AM[/editline] Also, Is there any more Valve employees here?
It's people like you that make me want to get a job like yours.
how's alden doin'.
You're awesome for making this thread. Thanks! Also, did you ever once think of putting co-op in the original Portal, back when you were working on it? Or was it just a whole new idea for the sequel?
Is Gabe really as fat as we think he is? Does he get mad about all the fat jokes?
[QUOTE=wonkadonk;20602944]I heard Kim Swift left Valve. Is this true? And if so, for what reason?[/QUOTE] She left for Air Tight Games, if I recall correctly. Yes, she left Valve to work at the studio that made Dark Void :smithicide:
Does Chet really smell bad and never take a shower?
Is Andrea Wicklund single? If so you can you introduce me?
[QUOTE=menneb;20606307]Is Robin Walker single? If so you can you introduce me?[/QUOTE] Fixed.
