Heres what he had to say:
<bram_> did you read the fax
<ErikJ> That's pretty funny. It's a first I have to say.
<ErikJ> It was to "Valve Guys". Pretty much asked for the movies.
<switch> ErikJ, do you know when you will release the 2nd video?
<ErikJ> We're get the second video out when things calm down from the first.
<Alec> Erik. will you release ONE big movie file as well as the smaller ones?
<ErikJ> Joey - Likley not, it will eventually be a number of broken up ones.
<jhero> Erik - Will VALVe release new footage and perhaps new screenshots?
<ErikJ> jhero - Likley yes.
<Joeysluck^PAINTING^BRB> <snaileri> Erik, will there be new videos where is that "Hydra" monster?
<ErikJ> joeys - The Hydra is featured in one of the demos, yes.
<jhero> Cool. Do you remember my e-mail about lil' Gabey? It was me!
<ErikJ> jhero - Haha. My wife got a good laugh over that one.
<Joeysluck^PAINTING^BRB> <Apos> Does steam's media section allow you to release other media than videos (screenshots, news, etc.)
<ErikJ> Joeys - Yes, it can be pretty much any format file.
<jhero> Question: What is the total bandwidth you guys are wanting for the final release of steam?
<ErikJ> As much as we can get.
<Joeysluck^PAINTING^BRB> <^Tal^Vano> If we are making a mod and have a character which has a Different face from a human being, Do we have to animate our own lip synch's?
<ErikJ> Yes, you would.
<ErikJ> The first set of media will be the e3 demos at 1024*768. After we release those we will likley start releasing newer media via Steam.
<Joeysluck^PAINTING^BRB> <aragorn> ErikJ: I have heard that steam will incorporate P2P elements later on. Any idea what kind of P2P elements?
<ErikJ> P2P is a ways down the road, but yes, it's a natural path for any distributed file system.
<Efficient> Erik, can i Help at next years E3? I live 10 min away
<ErikJ> We would have to fit you for an implant for that.
<NeoG> <kerpal|d2> In Half-Life 2 will corpses clip through walls like in HL1 or will they some how shape with the wall?
<ErikJ> NeoG - They will not clip through the wall. You should see some examples of how corpses behave in some of the e3 footage.
<Efficient> Will you have any time for another official Q&A after HL2 Media is release? For feedback
<ErikJ> Efficient - Sure, I'll be stopping by here. (#hl2media)
<jhero> Erik - (from Spiffae) will the videos be released in the same sequence that they played in E3? will there be any surprises?
<ErikJ> jhero - I'm pretty sure they are in the same sequence as they were shown at e3. The order they are shown is intentional.
<jhero> Erik - Will the items seen in the demos from the levels (i.e. propane tanks, matresses, watermelon, etc.) be available in Hammer as prefabs?
<ErikJ> jhero - We'll be releasing a ton of content to MOD developers.
<aragorn> Any idea how soon exactly SDK is going to be released?
<ErikJ> aragorn - No date yet.
<Efficient> If in multiplayer i played the macarena song through my microphone, will the character in game lipsync it, and is the sound audible to only those near or is it team / serverwide?
<ErikJ> Efficient - We focused a lot more on the Lambada. It's the forbidden dance you know.
<ErikJ> Whoops, we just accidentally released the movies. Have fun.
