His previous two movies were Book of Eli (starring Denzel Washington) and After Earth (starring Will Smith (I wonder if he told him he knows the owner of the Will Smith Twitter account)).

Yeah I know he did stuff between Duke and now LOL. (And he only worked on DNF for a short while in the early 00's on a version that was canned anyway)
I remember Book of Eli was decent.
Yep. Definitely bad sushi. Kill me now. I'm never eating sushi again.

How have I not seen Klepek interview James Cameron before?

They really did. He was one of the most public game devs out there. Either promoting his game, doing stuff with Double Fine or just guesting. But since he joined Valve he basically vanished. Sucks.
Didn't Will "The Ginger" Smith talk about meeting the other one? I remember something like he didn't care or whatever, because he's not on Twitter.

oh, someone was looking for that interview a while back.
Haven't checked the thread in a bit so don't know if anyone else has said but I just watched the Gameageddon GOTY and that's totally where Danny got the idea to start NoClip right?

Ditto for me. Valve could do no wrong a few years ago.
Now they can do no right.

Wait, what did valve do?
They made Dota2.

They were the scrappy upstart, now they're The Man. That's how it goes.

Not finish the Half-Life saga.
Put out an underwhelming Portal 2.
Haven't capitalised on the great L4D franchise.
Started scummy F2P/gambling mechanics in their games.
Let Steam get stuffed full of absolute shite.
The fuck. That is one of the best games ever made.

Nah. It was never going to top the original as that was such a short, tight and surprising game, but Portal 2 felt a bit lazy to me. Too self-aware.
There were some good chuckles and puzzles along the way, it's not a bad game, it's a good game, but they would have been better off leaving Portal as its own thing.
That's basically every Valve game (lol). Their engine shines through every crack and corner. Not in a good way.
Titanfall 2 did an amazing job modifying the Source engine around this limitation.
Titanfall 2 is an amazing game.

Portal 2 was a victim of Valve's playtesting
It's like half the game it could've been

Valve is still one of the best game industry companies we have, I'm still a massive fan of what they do, Steam, Dota, Vive, etc.
Portal 2 is exceptional, I highly enjoyed it.

I equally support both Portal games as different and connecting experiences of high quality.

Imagine if they took an axe to the Witness or the Talos Principle because a few people couldn't wrap their heads around some of the puzzles
Publishers would push their own stores even harder. You wouldn't only have Origin or Windows store exclusives anymore, but also Take Two App, Uplay exclusives etc. Would be really bad.
I think the only company that could jump in and try to offer something similar would be CD Projekt.
Yeah, that is true. The incline in challenge is too clean, there are no bumps on the road. And while that's really hard to create, it takes some fun out of your puzzle game.
I don't expect much from Valve when it comes to newer video game projects. I suspect we'll see a new Left 4 Dead within the next couple of years, but I've come to accept that they are serving a different audience with DOTA/TF2/CSGO. As far as primary digital storefronts go, Steam is the only one I have some confidence in. Microsoft's focus on their universal Windows platform and Sony's noncommittal to backwards compatibility give me a lot of pause. On the PC side, it's clear the other stores simply want to avoid Valve's cut and don't want to compete in a broader sense.
Book of Eli:
After Earth:
Walking Dead Season 1 Episode 4:
Who wants to guess that this guy in Rogue One is his doing:
I'm sure Duke would have had a stick-like weapon (or just a straight-up fucking stick apparently) at some point in his version.

Also I'd honestly rather have an open market than a highly curated one.
I bet he doesn't even smile anymore
Brad and his smile. I love it.
I bet when he was born he smiled all the way out.

Over the last year or so the Valve Free Pass...
.. Has been revoked.
Now they are video game Apple. They are making ALL the moneyz but their old audience kind of hates them and the enthusiast audience just kind of uses them because they are afraid of change and going elsewhere.
I know I have been trying to do a better job shopping around on the PC and using stuff like GOG and Origin more just to try break out of the Steam trap.

Resistance 3 was basically a really great Half Life fan game.
Get Insomniac to make it.

Give HL3 to some unholy mix of MachineGames and Respawn maybe?
Honestly it's been long enough for me that I don't have any expectations. Story-focused linear shooter with physicsy stuff. I guess I kinda just want a wrap on the Combine story, even though they'll never truly tell us what the G-man is. Mystery Box and all that.
