They're with Ubisoft right now, Gabe is there, and they've also been reairing some of the interview from the other day.

i dont know.. u can get little boys with as little as 5 buxs in candy.. plus, they are a lot easier to dispose of the smaller body than a 300 lb cs player.

[Kill Yourself]

And now its being replayed too.

[dannywaddington]

Man those "djs" are so AMATURISH, their jokes are on the sh!tier side of crap. It's best not wasting your time listening to them, just wait on cs nation for someone summarise the interview

Eh, they've been playing the same radio feed over and over, so not much new at the moment. I listened for a few hours last night, though, while I was playing CS. The biggest thing on my mind the whole time was... why are these guys talking on HL Radio, when they seem to know so little about the current HL scene?



Most interesting points from the interviews:

» Using Steam to do statistical monitoring of gameplay, discover parts people are getting stuck in that they didn't intend, or for weapon balancing in online mods.

» All of original HL1 content moved over to source, including official mods (updating with displacement maps, lighting, shaders), about 90% of what's being played online right now.

» Performance optimizations done, now tuning the game with playtesters to suit all styles of gameplay.

» Next release of SDK should allow you to build HL2 models and view them.

» In order to fully release the SDK, VALVe must release HL2 first, otherwise they risk spoiling too much.

» Shortly after E3, VALVe will release something so modelers and animators can start their work.

» Gabe believes mod community willing to take more interesting risks. Possibly mods coming out built on Source that wouldn't be possible games with a big gaming company.

» VALVe focusing on shipping the game at this point.
