Came across this today, thought it would be an interesting share for anyone that likes the behind the scenes type stuff. This is an interview with Gabe Newell of Valve Software (Half Life, Portal and the Left 4 Dead series' if you didn't know.)
The questions asked:
1. What is Valve up to these days?
2. With the addition of STEAM to the PSN is Valve planning on shifting development focus to consoles or are you going to remain developing games primarily for the PC?
3. How does Valve plan on differentiating the game from the very popular "League of Legends"?
4. How does micro transactions affect the future of Valve's business model?
5. Do you still plan on making single player games? (dispelling a rumour)
6. Do you ever get a chance to play games for fun anymore? If so, what games are you playing?
7. Do you plan on deviating from SOURCE or do you plan on indefinitely updating the current engine?
8. What games in the last decade do you believe have improved the gaming industry?
9. Will Chell from Portal and Gordon Freeman from HL be meeting?
10. Why are some of your most famous protagonists silent? How do you feel this affects the games as a whole?
11. What advice would you give to somebody aspiring to get into the gaming industry?
12. I read that you collect knives. How many knives do you own? What do you like about them?
13. What was your favorite game to work on?
That Portal 2 comic is hilarious!
