We should all thank God for Jim Sterling

VGA would be the absolute worst place to announce anything.

How many of those new users are simply people who bought Civilization, not expecting or wanting steam (like my dad)?

Lightmaps are fairly independent from everything else. With the right extraction tools you can play around with them in any image editing tool. What HDR adds is a 4th "exponent" component to the standard RGB values, so the idea that adding HDR somehow makes a bsp file 5 times larger is absurd to...

I'm guessing... ... Apple finally has some descent DX9 wrapper libraries for OpenGL in the same matter that XBox 360 has OpenGL wrapper libraries.

NV Idea The ask permission if you are part of the sample. You get a dialog box. I was given a couple since I joined steam.

I thought this whole thing was a reaction to "Half-Life:Source"... Didn't Gabe Newell say that a full fledged source remake should be made by modders, and not them? Didn't Valve say they where excited about this mod? Despite the absurd playlength:devlength ratio, it would be nice for some...

Randy should just take his precious game off steam, the hypocrite.

THERE IS ONLY ONE...option Since some people are too cheap to shell out $17... It is time to spam friends to no end with steam gifts.

This is one of the issues this game has and their developers have. They are not very clear when it comes to what they are communicating to the player. Pay close attention to heart on the left. That is the loading bar. It takes a while to load. Anyways, they are working on a c++/opengl version of...

DEBT IS DUMB I'm a Dave Ramsey nut. I am against lending/borrowing money, no matter how small. I am also ambivalent when it comes to preorders, especially preorders for before the game is even in development. However, I am all for donations. I will use closure as an example...

I don't think he quite dodged the last question. His bottom line answer seems to be the theme of the interview: Valve is moving from "Valve time" to more reliable, more predictable, far shorter development cycles/"rhythms". They are releasing products far more frequently, from episodic content...

On an unrelate note; the left 4 dead 2 boycott group has reached nearly 6,500 members. Jeeze. It won't be long before they have, well... OVER 9000!!! members, that is I must confess I have yet to purchase L4D. My bro doesn't have a descent gfx card in his computer yet, and mine is just a...
