I’m a bit confused by the comment about Phillip looking like Jobs/Freeman. Where exactly is this video of Phillip ? or was William talking about himself?
Look for Comment 19: http://www.planetphillip.com/posts/commenting-guide/#audiovideo
One link is missing in the list, can you guess which one? ;)
DOH!. Fixed. Please accept my apologies Tobias.
[...] on Podcast 17 and also did a short interview. So if you wan’t the hear my bad english voice check out the podcast. There is also some more detailied info about how Suicide Survival turned out the way it is today [...]
No problem Phillip, apology accepted :)
Haha. Sorry Tobias.
^^ Me again. I hate being logged in as admin.
how come the picture was changed? :P this picture is better, but just curious.
Go Go Suicide Survival!
@Discrate: Some of you “hardcore” listeners might of noticed this picture on last weeks podcast, we quickly changed it to save for this weeks because we had a suicide survival interview.
Great show, as always, boys.
On the subject of Valve sales figures, are we talking CS:S sold separately only under the CS:S section? As far as I remember CS:S came bundled with HL2, so that would make the actual owners of retail, off the shelf, CS:S equal to the figures of CS:S- and HL2-owners together.
I’m not surprised to see only a few people bought CS:S separately, since HL2 is such a freaking awesome game you would have bought that, getting CS:S in the bundle…
@azelito: That is an excellent point. I forgot CSS was packaged with HL2.

Click on “View Steam players per game” at the bottom ;)
Another good podcast, like usual. Gogo Tobias btw :D
Also bout the decadence dev kit I plan on doing something like that once my own mod is nearly done.
Release the .fgd and custom textures/models(though its not a total conversion so there wont be tons of custom stuff) which would allow mappers to make maps before release, so not really the same as what the decadence dev team does since they’ll be simple custom maps but it’s mostly to allow mappers to get a head start so that there’ll be custom maps out shortly after release(hopefully :) )
Interesting to hear about Suicide Survival, I laughed so hard during that interview, the sheer craziness of the whole thing is genius :)
The gameplay concept is however quite old, I remember a mod for Quake 2 called “Crate dm” where all the players looked like crates and every map was set in a warehouse. I couldn’t find any links unfortunately but I did find a Quake 3 Arena version here http://planetquake.gamespy.com/View.php?view=MOTW.Detail&id=199 just in-case anyone is feeling nostalgic :)
Great show this week, one of my favourites for sure!
Non native English speaking guy sounds like he’s going to die at some points :D
Yeah sounded like Tobias had a sore throat, poor guy.
Yay for the next podcast being out (pray) tomorrow or at least Tuesday maybe? =(
Please? :D
It’s sad, I end up listening to these things 2-3 times at least, but I find I miss stuff (as I’m usually reading other sites or playing a game when listening).
Good show as always.
