Saw HBO on Cable in a long time and the movie being shown was "How to Make a Monster". Now imagine if Valve and VU HQ had this happen lol what would you guys do?

"where's the backup disk!!!"
 
I think it would be cooler if it happened to "id software" IMO :), God i'd love to see the hellknight in full realistic glory
 
I had seen this topic earlier today, and while I was browsing through channels, it was on HBO :) It was entertaining, but it wasn't the greatest movie I've seen :p The game they were making was pretty crap-tastic, and a lot of things in the movie were pretty cheesy. And yes, it would be horrible if something like that happened at VALVe...imagine how long the game would be delayed ;)

For those of you who didn't see it, here is an outline of events:
- A game company is racing to make the next big game.
- They decide that the key to such a game is to make the game scary (keep in mind, they are trying to market this game to kids, this isn't Doom 3 or anything. Throughout the show they treat games as if they are for kids only, actually.)
- They hire a crew of only 3 to make the game in 4 weeks, and offer a $1 million bonus to whoever can come up with the scariest monster.
- One of the programmers has an "AI Chip" that somehow starts to finish the game by itself while he is working on it one night.
- The computer begins to play the game, but it is attacking people in real life.
- The programmer is killed, and turned into a terminator inspired killing machine.
- As the programmer kills more team members, they are also turned into robots/monsters.
- It turns out that the guy who appeared to be the leader of the game developing team was actually a spy for another game company.
- Everyone ends up dying except for the assistant, who goes on to be the main game designer.
Even though my outline seems long, it still leaves a lot out. If you're bored and you have HBO, this could be something to hold you over for a few hours while you wait for Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 :cheers:
