Nice interview and good advice. I wonder where he was going to school at.

its called an accent, learn to listen...

[cell9song]

Little did he know that their game would get them a job working on Portal 2

I see it caught Warren Spector's interest at the end of the video haha. Awesome game

excellent interview ;)

... despite the crowd, the "affordable" camera mic and stuff, it was really interesting, thanks a lot.

Also, it shows us again that all good game devs have something in common : playtesting ! :D

I liked the part when he told game dev students to take out something that is just "good". If you cant make an idea into something really fun and great, dont throw it to your players : I stopped counting the boring secondary objectives/features in modern games, say no to this !

haha the "Indie" guy is awesome :D

Played Tag just when they won that GDF, cant wait to see their work on Portal 2 ;)

[hamsteralliance]

Valve Software just hired these guys for work on Portal 2.

@Agaetis181 it didnt even have weapons in it, other than red paint if that was offensive to you ;P

[alndis]

This is foolish bullshit I tell you!!!

[alndis]

What the hell are you talking about???

[donovan3955]

i like how i am the only person who notices that alndis is recognizing the poor word choice, redundancy, his rushing of getting into a sentence with stuttering, talking with gum in his mouth. notice how alndis said "talking" not "speaking". you guys qho notice his accent above all else as the reason are hypocritical ignets

[Agaetis181]

my god, I don't want to watch some terrorist talking about his game that lets people put jihads on americans. i thought this was about ALL the show winners, wtf.
