Typical work day at Valve?

[spitcodfry]

Well, seeing as now its crunch time over there, things are probably more hectic than usual, so no use commenting on that.

But I was curious what a typical work day at Valve would consist of. Gamespot posted a pretty interesting read before the original HL came out, and I thought they did quite an extensive job of detailing all the processes that go into running a game company like Valve.

They discussed how Gabe always held a meeting at the same time each day to discuss what current problems needed to be solved, what's ahead for the current project, etc.

For a company to make such a tremendous project, obviously a rigid work schedule must be kept and plenty of organization must be applied.

Any thoughts/comments to how things tick over at Valve?

Why is everyone being so nasty to Chris_D? I've seen a couple of comments directed to him involving sexual favours.

hes good

 

[Headwires]

his posts are not wot they used to be. guess he got fed up of answering the same questions over and over etc

 

[Chris D]

I don't know if he was being nasty or not. I probably deserved it.

 

[Chris D]

I wasn't being nasty myself when I posted here. I think it was a fair comment. If you've read the article about Valve's typical day during crunch time, then you pretty much know about what Valve's typical day during crunch time consists of!

I wasn't meaning to sound sarcastic or pretentious.

I'm not being nasty to him...he's not contributing anything to my thread! If he had anything, and I mean anything helpful to say, then I would have refrained from using that comment. But seeing as he took the often-travelled road of the asshole, I had to say something. As far sexual favors go...my statement came out of left field, so I'm unaware of previous statements made regarding that sort of thing. But he is a devilish little bastard, isn't he? That cute, pointy tail, that throbbing red prick; Ooh!! And yes boys and girls, that was phaseciousness!!!

 

[Headwires]

"phaseciousness" wots that....takin the piss?

 

[Chris D]

Well you're a nice person aren't you spitcodfry?

If you refer back to my previous post then you'll see that I meant nothing by it, and as there's only been one comment relevant to the actual topic of this thread you'll probably see that there wasn't actually much to be said on the topic anyway, to be honest.
