Ho boy...

Those of you with Xbox Live Gold are getting another mix of games for September 2022 that they can "freely" add to their game collections. Microsoft says that these games are typically valued at $66.96 (USD), but let's just say that value is rather subjective when it comes to the past several months of Games with Gold titles.

These titles will start to be offered starting on September 1. They include Gods Will Fall, Double Kick Heroes, Thrillville,...

Time is not on his side.

Co-writer on Portal and Portal 2, Erik Wolpaw, says that he would love to work on Portal 3, but there are some hurdles at Valve to overcome.

Wolpaw recently appeared in the Kiwi Talkz podcast (embedded below). Near the end of the interview, Wolpaw says, "we've gotta start Portal 3. That's my message to... to whoever." He continues on to say that he isn't getting any younger and that if Valve wants to do Portal 3 with any of the original...

And so is the sequel.

Nintendo and Valve just announced that both Portal games are coming to the Nintendo Switch later this year. The compilation is called Portal: Companion Collection and it bundles both Portal and Portal 2 together for $19.99 (USD) through the Nintendo eShop.

NOW that's what I call music!

Valve is bringing back Steam Soundtracks in a big way today. More accurately: Valve already brought back Steam Soundtracks a little while ago is being improved big time today. The Soundtrack section that some of you knew and perhaps even love already made its return as a dedicated category in the Steam Library. To further push this Soundtrack section, Valve is bolstering it today with some improved functionality.

On top of that, there is a...

Whenever I get a press release sent to my inbox from Valve, there's always a bit of shock and excitement that accompanies the notification. Is it a new game? Is is the Panorama update for CSGO? No, sadly, this email today was none of that. It was instead a notification that the limited-time offer for Portal 2 Nendoroids is coming to a close in a few days.

This includes the P-Body Nendoroid and the Atlas Nendoroid. You can get each of them for 5,800 Japanese Yen or about $53...

Valve's Gabe Newell had an AMA today in the quasi-satirical r/The_Gaben subreddit. During his brief session answering community questions, Newell revealed that Valve might actually still be a game developer.

Last night, I put together a short-ish overview video for using and setting up a Steam Controller. Please note that this is not a review. Official reviews are being kept until at least November 10 when the controller is officially released for everyone. The controller is still receiving regular updates from Valve. In fact, an update came out between when I recorded last night and when I finally got the video uploaded about an hour ago (as of the time of this posting). The video shows off b...
