article: valve bits

Zips,



Outstanding article. You answered a lot of questions that needed to be answered. Valve has previously left the community in limbo over their support for multicore processors. It's to bad they're not going to fully support it for TF2.



Your work is greatly appreciated!

Dude, killer article. I loved it - right to the point about the important stuff.



Too bad you didn't quite get to ask if there was more DoD:S content coming, but TF2 is keeping me plenty happy for the time being :)



Great job Zips, thanks for the awesome read!

I want an $8000 monitor. =(



Good stuff, although the things that interests me didn't really get any 'official comments'. Meh. Glad you had fun, though.



One thing you say is you played Left 4 Dead, but you didn't have any bits of information on that, or say you were planning to post a review about it, either. Isn't that the game that's a cross between multi player and single player? I'm interested in knowing how that works.

Are you sure you mean cobble and not cabal?

Excellent work, intrigued to watch how the User Content Distribution will unfold, and I can only assume CS2 is being worked on in utter secrecy, given the potent value of the franchise. Regarding the information Jesse Cliffe wanted, it's $25 for 10 minutes, $100 with 'happy ending'.

I said in the opening paragraph I'll have a L4D preview, but it won't be until after the Portal and Ep2 previews and depending on my time constraints, possibly not until after the Orange Box review.



Also, the one that's a cross between SP and MP is called the Crossing. Didn't see one tiny bit of that though.

Yeah, I actually saw a post at HL2.net where someone mentioned the same thing. CS on the brain or something.

Cabal what?

A rather good arcade game from the 80s, not based on the Clive Barker novel.

God damnit I need to get off my lazy ass, learn to code, and get a job at VALVe in 10 years.

Guess I didn't read close enough. =P Go me.



Well, you can tell my interest in anything other than EP2 and CS is kinda small. Though that 'crossplayer' still sounds interesting.
