Jay’s working at Valve. They’re forming a comedy super team over there. http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=1889

Does anyone know what Jay Pinkerton is actually doing these days? I know it was something game-related, but he kind of fell off the radar after a couple posts to the MTV multiplayer blog (I think that’s what it was, anyway). He may actually be working at Valve, for all I know.

Funny guy. It was sad to see his writing go downhill when he started at Cracked, and I hope whatever game he ends up working on sees him return to form.

Oh shit, there’s a RPS podcast with Erik Wolpaw!?

To be honest i haven’t listened to podcasts for almost 3 weeks, so I have some catching up to do, this goes first, downloading it now. :)

botherer asks: (Rock Paper Shotgun's John Walker asks) What's it like to work with Erik Wolpaw? It must be amazing, getting to talk to him and listen to him being funny and get to see the results of his amazing work. Chet Faliszek: Jay Pinkerton actually ghost writes everything for Erik.

Chet Faliszek: And can you ask John Walker if he can have Jim Rossignol send me an autographed copy of his book, This Gaming Life?

Oh snap.

Mark my words, L4D fans are going to run that Chicago Ted reference into the ground just like they did with the Cake and the Companion Cube.

The other night I was in Dead Air in the lobby. I saw the statue of Atlas and I was struck by how much it looked like it belonged in Bioshock. That’s when Franics said “I hate Ayn Rand.”

It’s moments like that which make the game truly awesome.

I just have to say: Thank you, Tei, for the strongest belly laugh I’ve had since… since escaping Mercy Hospital by the skin of my teeth last night, actually.

heh, October 1969. That’s the fuck up date if you look at updates for a game that’s never been updated on steam.
