The final hours is online

That was one of the best gaming news article ever. HL-2 team deserves a hell of a lot of credit for their hard work! Great job guys! I can't wait to play your product!

Why do they say Half-Life 2 is "A spectacular game on five CDs"... I thought it was 6 CDs?

Maybe one cd is cs:s

Great read. Feel bad about Yahn though. What could possibly have happened? Emailed him last year or so about an idea on CS:S. He seemed perfectly fine then. I hate if anything serious has happened. And TBH, it sounds that way.

I hope Valve comes out okay through all of this. Good luck guys & gals! :thumbs:

Yeah, I'm kinda worried about Yahn too.

Damnit, all I've got to say is that Gabe wasn't bullshitting us after all when he said Mike Harrington built a boat and sailed around the world :E

But a great read, very informative.

EDIT: What's being said about Yahn then? All I can find this fast is this:

"Sending off the final discs won't be the most exciting moment for me," he later says in Valve's conference room. "For me that moment will come when I get to hand Yahn's wife a big check and say, 'All those promises we made about building an exciting company and the value that your husband represents to us are true,'" he says.

Which doesn't sound too promising

The fact that it mentions handing yahn's wife the check, and not yahn... and also earlier mentioned was this, which may or may not be related.

We absolutely have chewed people up on this project," he admits while walking through the lobby. "You can really burn people out on projects like this." Then he adds a rather ominous footnote: "Sometimes they never come back."

I thought it was more a reference to his wife being skepitic about him working at a game developer.

I e-mailed Gabe, and he said nothing happened to Yahn. This is what he said exactly. lol

Heh.

No, nothing has happened to Yahn. It's just that I am more afraid of his wife.
