“Is this fun to watch?”
That line has stuck with me since Sunday. I actually had a few discussions with my own team members about some of the main topics in this interview and how they might apply to Modular Combat. So very interesting.
valve had a offical blog thing about the server browser. http://left4dead411.com/news/2008/11/server-browser-available/
You forgot about Crosus. It’s the mod distribution system from ISOTX. So, Emanuel, I guess you have to break an extra set of knee caps :)
We got a batch of HOT stuff for you guys…
Just for the record (and because im an insufferable backseat driver): The FA:S guys did make their own playermodels:

Now the attachments make a bit more sense.. :P
Discovered podcast 17 a week or two ago and I’m loving it. Keep it up!
Awesome to see the Smashball team interviewed. Just discovered podcast 17 as well; I’m gonna tune in more :P
Thanks again guys for having Smashball Labs on the ‘cast. Krenzo and I had a great time. I loved the format, and the questions, and enjoyed addressing the challenges you had for us for some of our plans. We’d be glad to come back anytime, even if I do have to get up at the a$$crack of dawn to attend ;)
“So, you hear that, Maxsi? You’re gonna get shot. So watch out.”
Apart for death-threats – it was a fun surprise to be featured on this podcast. And Maxsi Distribution has been in development for over a year and has been working for over 6 months, way before you mentioned it on this podcast. And the system is free in the first place – anyone can use the system if they provide the bandwidth themselves, unless they go through a simple application process like discussed in the podcast.
It was also surprising to have a private email to Matthew Dryden qouted, but I don’t mind it. ;-)
@Sortie: Doh! I didn’t realize that was private information as it seemed just like any normal descrption. I’ll send you another message, sorry my friend!
