[...] padre sconosciuto (Narbacular Drop) e un cugino interessante (Prey), un padrino intelligentissimo (Gabe Newell) ed una casa (Valve) che sembra più una comune (Steam). È un gioco geniale e realizzato [...]

getting ultima underworld to run in win 2000/xp has been largely fruitless

It’s possible to get UW running in win NT/2000/XP with the uw2wnt patch

matte_k, I also ordered from Valve-store, and got it much more quickly than I thought possible. Kudos for swift delivery even when it was just before Christmas.

As to email comments, it is a great feature, though I don’t _have_ any suggestions, just wondering what the Portal team will be doing as Chell finished ‘Portal’ by blowing up GLaDOS

Just received a hooded top from the Valve Store in the post today, only ordered it wednesday. So from Washington State to Tennesse (?) then to the UK, that’s 3-4 days? I don’t think i’ve ever had such a prompt response, my respect for Valve is increased considerably by that and this interview. I also like what he said about a new guy in finance contributing ideas to the Heavy movie, what a great way of doing things- if it’s valid, or useful, they LISTEN. Outstanding. Also, the commentary idea implemented with Episode 1, Gabe actually requests you email him what you thought of the game-direct feedback, straight to the people making your games. If only more publishers/developers implemented this, we might put an end to wasted money and development time…

I like to think of them reading it out very fast without pause for breath.

Sort of like Zero Punctuation in fact. Hm.

Wow. That’s a fine example of how the lack of commas and full stops makes a piece of text incomprehensible.

I am happy that you did not name it Rhino Scar the first thing I thought of or person was ringo starr lol any who I like what gabe is doing here it’s said to know where your going you have to look at your past that is in a sense true but what I like better is understanding that there is no real master but just some one who refers back to the basics time and time again till they have a true grasp of it’s meaning with that in there arsenal they can use it to more readily find and know what they are looking for and know what to look for gabe has made both these things available again old games serve as an in depth manual of the basics as well as sup-thing to look back at and compare such as what made this game popular back then or why was this game not popular what is the difference between the two what did this one have in commen with the other popular of its time and cores visa-versa it also gives you an idea of what has been done already so you might be able to avoid some repeats such as my favorite repeats of all time for making parts of a game more difficult these are one make more enemies in this section or waves of enemies two they put stronger enemies in that section or three they throw a few puzzles at you or four shorten your time to get that done or finally a combination of them AI is of cores one way to get away from these repeats and that would mean bringin it up quit a few notches such as surroundings used for your enemies advantage as well not just you using them the AI of your enemies will use tactical maneuver on you once in a wile or even try to sneak up on you or even hunt you down etc

RPS: I have a friend (an idiot) who is determined that in six months Valve will be owned by either Microsoft or EA…

Gabe: Tell him that I’m not interested in buying either one of them.

Truly brilliant, Gabe is simply brilliant

OMG I need sleep. I could have sworn Gabe was dancing in his little window at the top of the page.
