Woah! I have to say.. very interesting and very inspiring! It must have been so easy getting into the "game industry" (if you would have called it that) back then. Well alteast now its a lot more sophisticated

I also really enjoyed these. It's always nice when the veterans show their faces and thoughts to the rest of the world.

Hearing the stories of these different developers first-hand was great, thanks for linking these.

The links jillduffy posted are also good. I'm always looking for stuff about Valve, thanks.
