Put your questions to Gabe Newell

[Linsbot]

Hi all,

I work for Stuff.tv and sorry if this is a breach of protocol, but we need some HL2 fans to post some questions for Gabe Newell. We have an interview with him this week, so any/all comments would be welcome!
Click here to post a question. Thanks for your help!

[soulslicer]

question

Can you please give some information on the pods please, those advisor pods and whats becoming of them. as seen in some screens

o yes and more information on gman indeed.

 

[Remus]

soulslicer0: Can you please give some information on the pods please?
Gabe: I can't be bothered right now.
soulslicer0: But...
Gabe: You'll just have to wait until after the test!
soulslicer0: :|

 

[soulslicer]

i dunno whats that suppose to mean..

 

[Remus]

i dunno whats that suppose to mean..

My point is, you'll only get evasive answers. What you think if you ask him who the G-Man is he'll tell you?

 

[Rapstah]

Do you support the Missing Information mod?

Since obviously some people think he does. :|

 

[Slug Advisor]

I'd like some info on the headcrab's lifecycle.

 

[Gordon-Shepherd]

still wanna ask about Gman, an evasive answer could still give clues.

 

[CyberPitz]

I wonder if any of these questions will get answers. \=

 

[AJ Rimmer]

Ask him.

 

[CyberPitz]

Ask him.

Replace that period with ? and then we have my question.

muwaha.

 

[Planetary]

Why aren't the Vortigaunts scaly anymore? Do they have a molting season or what?

And why did someone decide that it was a good idea to build a highway on the ocean floor? Or was it built after the oceans dropped, by some very enthusiastic Combine recruits?

 

[Narvi]

How do the new cinematic physics work? Is it just a new large-scale animation system, or is it all simulated?

And why did someone decide that it was a good idea to build a highway on the ocean floor? Or was it built after the oceans dropped, by some very enthusiastic Combine recruits?

What are you talking about?

 

[achilles_d]

any info on EP4?

 

[Bulletbrain]

Do you intend on implementing AI routines where NPC's use different weapons for different situations (Like what we saw Alyx did in the EP1 hospital section) in future episodes? Is that pure reactive AI or more scripted? (which is my guess)

Fking lol. Just what I was going to say. It's not like the thread starter typed what to do in code or anything, and yet those simple instructions and link seem just too hard for some to follow...

 

[jondy]

The name Shasta followed by patronising vitriol. Who'd've thought it?

 

[Bulletbrain]

Guys you actually have to click the link and post em yerself .

Oops..oh well. Thats what you get for not reading the first post.

And Shasta out of curiosity I was reading your very first tread and was very amused to find that you were not such a mean b****** those days. lol. In fact you were extremely timid. You asked a question about how to take a screenshot. (something you could have easily googled for) I was thinking if that question was asked now by a newbie... what your response would be.[ something along the lines of "learn to use google, retard" would be my guess]

 

[357]

Shasta pwned

 

[soulslicer]

sometimes my eyes just miss the "click here", damn i feel stupid..ecspecially for being 1st replier..

 

[Narvi]

I know, I know... I just posted my question here because the signup process was taking so long. And the dude above me asked a weird question.

For those that think bulletbrain is onto something magical, mind-blowing, or even factual, I'll just add a dose of reality to this from my response to this already:

I probably wanted help with something. People should be polite and appreciative when asking for help - so long as help is being given - and being blunt will not get as much help as acting polite. So I probably was polite. Don't confuse politeness with shyness - although you seem to be confused over a lot of things.

I am polite if I need something, and normal if I do not. Why is this so hard for you to get? I haven't needed anything for quite some time, so I have not had any urges to be nauseatingly polite. If I'm helping someone, then I DON'T NEED something from them.

Why do you think that someone should always have the exact same attitude as they did when they asked a question a couple of years ago anyway? What makes you think that that was my "normal" mode? Just what the hell is wrong with you?

Twas still kinda funny.

 

[Shasta]

Twas still kinda funny.

And yet so obviously flawed. At least it should have been obvious...

 

[jondy]

Sorry mate, but alternating between 'amicably polite' and 'obnoxious' depending on your needs is a shite way to behave.

 

[Shasta]

If you think so.



Deal with it.



Besides, he is referring to me being polite around TWO years ago. Why do you morons think that there is some rule that says you MUST act the same way you did two years ago, or that THAT was even how I normally am? Surely you've worked out by now WHY I was being polite at the time, and that I am usually much more blunt?

 

[Jintor]

(Blunt = Bastard, in the Australian sense + Bastard in the classic sense = Shasta)

You can't win, people!

If you think your actions are so unequivocally justifiable, stop trying to justify yourself. Either way, I just enjoy winding you up, you're as tense as a tiger on heat

 

[Bulletbrain]

Actually Shasta, when I made this comment originally I wasn't referring to your politeness ( or lack of).... now dont go and quote stuff from that other thread (about shyness and stuff) because that was made way after this one.

Okay lets break this down... Did you or did you not post your first thread about how to take a screenshot? You did? You agree? Good... Now do you also agree that if you did a little research on google you would easily found the answer? Yes? Still with me? Good. So far what I explained here is not magical, not groundbreaking, but completely factual.

Now... Do you or do you not criticize people (mostly newbies) if they post a question here, the answer to which can be found by a simple search on Google (e.g. how to take a screenshot) Now many people here will agree that you probably will flame, in such a situation. I can find some comments that will back this up...but I have much better things to do than going through your comments. Do you see the problem here?

Now its fairly obvious to any unbiased reader what I am getting at. No its not about you being polite or not. Its about why you flame people for an action that once you yourself has done?

On another note disregard the thing about drivers on that other thread. You are completly right on that issue. But like jondy I just love winding you up.

And Jondy , don't you mean as "tense as a tigress in heat"?

 

[Jintor]

Whatever your point is, Shasta as he is know is a different creature to Shasta as he was then.

 

[jondy]

And Jondy , don't you mean as "tense as a tigress in heat"?

I didn't really think about it at the time, but that would be more accurate :E

 

[Naudian]

He's already made it pretty clear that he doesn't care.

But I think a lot of people here do.
He constantly posts in harmless threads with unpleasant, unnecessarily harsh comments. It doesn't exactly make hl2.net seem like a nice place to newcomers...

It's like he just comes here in search of targets to flame...or that he just can't make a post without some little offensive comment within it. I admit at this point it's just amusing to me, and other members just joke about it, but it's probably not as funny to the newbies that he is being an ass towards.

Honestly, knock it off or gtfo already

And bulletbrain was never heard from again, and shasta had an evil look on his beak for the next 3 days...

Replace Bulletbrain with Shasta and you yourself will fall into that category.

If you think so.

What is your point? Nothing you said changes the fact that you asked how to take a screenshot, but now you would flame a newbie who'd ask that. So, you changed. Who gives a shit? You still asked how to take a screenshot.
However polite the newbie who'd ask that would be, you'd stil cal him a retard or a idiot or whatever you prefer. But what if that the newbie would change, much like you?
They should have just told you to GTFO back then.

Firstly, you don't know that I would even bother to reply to a thread asking how to take a screenshot. There are plenty of other saps that can do that. You 'tards are trying to state your speculation on "what Shasta MIGHT do" as fact, when it is NOT. That's why they call it "speculation".

Secondly, asking a simple question like that probably would attract some mocking. But as long as an answer was given, who cares?

Thirdly, I'm still just taking your word that I even asked about screenshots. I can't be arsed searching for it, but I think we'd all like a link to that thread. Otherwise, you could be accused of being full of sh*t.

Yeah, and you'll be the one whose probably doing the mocking.

ROFLMAO - you think that I was being "timid" or especially different from normal in that thread? Wow. I asked a question, got an answer, said thanks - what's the problem? That's how I am when asking a question and getting an answer. Wow you are an idiot. You made out like I was all "shy" or "timid" and sh*t - I just assumed that I was having trouble and was overly grateful for the help - and that you were telling the truth. None of which turned out to be the case. That'll teach me to listen to you and not bother checking things out. God you're a moron. Thanks for the laugh.

Yeah, and you'll be the one whose probably doing the mocking.

I'll repeat myself, shall I? -

And again - even at the time, I would have been expecting some mockage myself for asking that. But as long as I got an answer to my question, I wouldn't have cared. It's just a forum...
