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. Yeah sounded like Tobias had a sore throat, poor guy.

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!

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 :) ) Another good podcast, like usual.

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... Great show, as always, boys.
