lol at valve letting htc unceremoniously announce a product on a sunday. not even a fat knife collector who plays dotes all day gives enough of a poo poo about computers to muster excitement for their new platform. computers are dead. computers remain dead. and we have killed them.

Products should only be announced with a huge ceremony so we can live stream it and do brutal riffs and owns on the technical specifications.

Raskin had one problem: Jobs regarded him as an insufferable theorist or, to use Jobs's own more precise terminology, "a shithead who sucks".
at valve there is no management structure and everyone can do whatever they want

why would valve do anything at all when steam just prints money and dota is a non-stop hat buying goldmine

making a game is basically nothing but a money-losing proposition

When hl3 does come out we will find out that Gordon Freeman is actually a transwoman and all games forever will cease to be sexist and ethics in games journalism will become a real thing and gamergate will be over and all gamers everywhere will unite in harmony.


This is unironically, the only way hl3 will ever live up to expectations for me. # Gordon freewomen

im a fucking monster

my uncle works for valve and he gave me copies of HL3 and HL4, but said i'm not allowed to show them to anybody. HL3 has every gun in it - both real and from other games. and in HL4 you play as the g-man and there's a secret mode where alyx is naked and you can totally see her boobies, it was released in japan but it was banned for being too sexy

I work in the games industry so I can confirm this is true. it's an open secret.

the gdc dance has begun. my 3pm cancelled and moved to my 5pm slot, but my 5pm can't move it so now I will have a double meeting and gamble that one will pay for dinner.

then my 1030am got nuked from orbit and is now a 4pm and a new 1030 appeared to gently caress my poo poo up with a full scale preso to major first party stakeholders.

the previous paragraph is a paraphrase of an email from or biz Dev guy.

what do you mean paid? I know a woman that works in games PR. she's probably there as part of her job just like many nerd developers are, but not specifically paid for the event.
