Hey!

Gabe accepted my request to interview him for Garrysmod.com.

I wanna know what kind of questions you guys have.

There is no guarantee your question will be asked, what I'll be doing is picking out the best ones then asking them.

Oh, and I don't think I'll be asking anything about Left 4 Dead 2, and the HL2 EP3 questions are already gonna be asked, so don't suggest those if you can, thanks.

Why are you letting mm3guy interview you?

But seriously, is valve working on anything to push the boundaries like portal?

When will they make Steam webkit based?

What does Valve look for when hiring?

What new technologies will Valve introduce into the Source Engine?

Holy shit.

Edit:

Ask him what they plan to do with Team Fortress 2 after they finish all the class updates.

Edit:

Ask him if anyone around the office calls him Babe.

Will we ever get fully dynamic shadows?

*snip* Silly me, didn't read fully your post.

Is there going to be a TF2 movie/series soon?
Will you do a second wave of TF2 updates?

Good job, perfectly executed first post

What kind of diet are you on?

How do you think the Half-Life series has turned out thus far?

What things from the HL2 Beta leak do you think were the best / Will they be in any future releases?

The best and worst acomplishments from Valve?

This, ask this.

When are you planning to scrap havok physics in favor of something better?

Will you do any big additions to DoD:S in the future?

It's not havok physics, it's based on the havok system but is heavily modified.

They've been updating the physics every new game release.

When will TF2 be updated to the latest version of the engine?

Do you think a new engine is needed to be for future releases?

Do you guys play or use GMod in any way? ()
Will we get another Medic update?
When will we be able to use the "Follow me medic" sounds in TF2?
Will other classes like the Soldier, the Demoman and the Medic get their own set of domination lines?
When will we see the L4D engine in TF2?
When will we see new items and the trading system?
Will the Source engine be upgraded to rival other engines in terms of graphics and physics?
Will we ever see an official 3dsmax smd importer plugin?

"Are you still planning to make HL3 after HL2 Ep3?"

Have there been any instances when what you found through research and playtesting was at odds with player opinion?

Are there any features that fans often suggest that don't work well in practice?

Are you planning on updating the engine or changing it?

What the fuck went throught your mind when you cooked up L4D2?

Seriously, I want to know.

Mm3guy is fucking incredible.

How long are you going to continue recycling your games?

How long is Steam going to support games e.g Will I be able to play HL2 in 10 years?

Ask him will there be ever a Team Fortress 3?

Ask about a possibility of CS:S being updated to a newer engine or CS:S 2.

Oh yeah, ask him what is his current favorite game.

favorite game?
OH FUCK YOU NINJA'D

He didn't, he lets Valve employees work on projects of their choice.

Holy shit dude.

I'm interested to see what they will do after the class updates. Or if we will see a second set of unlocks from a class before another one's first.

Seriously? Doesn't sounds like a stressful job at all. Oh how I wish I could one day visit VALve HQ.

Ask him if he ever browses Facepunch.

Ask him to play the guitar.

This and if he plays Gmod.

"What do you plan to do after Episode 3 and Left 4 Dead 2 is released? Is there going to be a new franchise added to the Valve library, or maybe a different story arc in a new half Life game?"

"What kind of additions to the game engine will we see in the next games? Some people think there will be fluid physics or DMM, fully dynamic lighting instead of baked in lightmaps."

"How far do you think Valve has come along since you started with Half Life?"

When is that Source movie thing coming out? That one they promised where you get the tools they used to make the TF2 videos.

when they're done with "Meet the" videos.

Didn't mm3guy say no questions about ep3 and l4d 2?

What were the games you played in your childhood?

What is your opinion on in-game advertisements?

Why do some of you use beanbags at the office?

Do you have any plans on using the new WiiMotionPlus technology, PS3 Motion Controller, or the Natal from Microsoft?

Who is in charge of the Snickers at the office? I mean, you can't let them run out.

Is that a question about Ep3 or L4D2?

"Is a new graphics engine in development?"

That's the only question that I really want to ask.

That doesn't seem like a question about either to me.

Ask him If I can trade in my PS3 version of The Orange Box for the PC version. (I'm real on this one, PS3 version isn't as good as the others, Team Fortess 2 on the PS3 is a major let down.)

And ask how long it takes to plan a new game before even starting on it.

There are a lot of source mods out their, Garrys mod being one of them, do you have any faviroutes that you sometimes wish you thought of first?

Ask him what games did he play as a kid.

Also why can't we ask about EP3? Just drop a line at the end about how far it is in development?

Will Valve ever make a game that is NOT FPS?

Try and squeeze one L4D2 question in:

Are there going to be discounts for those that own L4D, or is L4D2 going to be included in something like "The Orange Box" 2?

does having a 50" monitor really increase performance in WoW?

Was the Boomer modeled after you?

Also ask who writes for Team Fortress 2 and if they do anything outside of that.

You HAVE to ask about an Orange Box 2! Also he probably expects to answer garrys mod related questions more then anything.

Ask him if they ever plan on doing something radically different to their candy pop shooters like CSS and DOD:S? I.E Maybe a realistic tactical FPS or something?

They have a good enough tema for it,

Gabe, what's the square root of cake?

Cupcake.

Is there a possibility that we will see games, made in the Half Lie universe even after EP3? Maybe follow a resistance leader in the same storyline as HL2/EP1/EP2/EP3?

Ask him this, please :)

Can you ask about what the status is on Portal 2?
And atleast try to get a confirmation on if there is going to be a second round of unlocks of tf2

Ask him wat the fuck is up with episodic gaming if it takes longer to release an episode
then it does to release an entire new game..totally beats the point of episodic gaming

-Shorter games
-released more frequently
-for a lower price

Also, make sure to post it in the news or something large when the inteview is done

Edited:

Gabe has explained that one already, and it was something like "lower price : yes, shorter and more frequent games: no" in short

Ask him if he prefers the Quadruple Mega Mac or Mega Whopper Supreme.

what do you have planned for the future?

Why are you so fat?

No. You're being silly.

He'd obviously prefer a triple-pounder stacked angus bacon cheese-burger with extra grease.

What is the environment around the office and how does people work ?

Do you guys sometimes do like huge lan parties when you are to stressed ?

Why won't valve do something like a huge lan party ? Or an online party with 3-4 64 slot servers ?

Of course. How silly of me.

Ask him how much World of Warcraft he plays, and if he has ever played Garry's Mod.

Why have you not undergone lipsuction procedure yet Gabe?

Every second post has made a joke about his weight. Do you really think you're funny?

No..... I think I'm hilarious.

Then you should probably die, also you yourself are probably fat as hell and making jokes about
gabe because you are so insecure about yourself, poor poor 13 year old.

[Flame mode off]

Ask him if there will be a portal 2

could you pleas ask him on what they look for in their concept artists if/when they ever do want to hire any..

Will you please make a game like Infiniminer or Minecraft with fully dynamic shadows, lights and hi-res textures?

Damn you !1

"What class update is next for Team Fortress 2?"

"How many total employees work for Valve?"

"Can you confirm if the Pyro character is truly a male or a female?"

Make sure he gives decent answers, not his usual vague bullshit he spits out to people in emails.

How much does he eat every day?

Do you have any plans to change steam in the future?

Well you should ask him somewhere along the lines of 'Are you going to introduce new elements of gameplay to the engine, like more advanced ragdoll physics, breakable environments' ect.

Ask him if they're ever gonna finish that adventure game they were working on before Half Life

ask him if internet boycotts and petitions actually do shit to affect company decisions

Ask him if they plan on doing something to team fortress 2 after all class updates. Will they make new maps, new weapons or maby even a new class? Or will they be working on team fortress 3 by that time?

Also ask him why he redirected my e-mail to him about if louis was crazy in ''peelz'' to chet.
