News straight from the shack!

Despite the fact that I don't condone people jumping on leaked content - 'bloody wankers' (I'm practising for the sniper update) and spoiling a lot of hard work that the dev's, creative's, and marketing teams work so hard to orchestrate..

I can't however hold back with this one.. The entire team in the office had to find tissues to hold back the lunch-time nose-bleed I suffered after watching Meet the Spy



Once again.. Bravo.. More and more are valve not only proving they can roll with the best in the gaming industry but that they can size up to the big boys of the 'animation' industry

'Meet the Spy' could easily be up for numerous marketing, short film, and animation awards. Superbly crafted and directed and easily comparable to Pixer on a level of story telling and entertainment... However, I think the boys at Valve need to stress-test their models a bit more if they are expecting performances like this from them, the occasional stretch and fold mid shot is hard to ignore.

[Dear Valve: I've said it once, i'll say it again.. Valve.. Please.. Please, sell me a feature length 'Meet the team' DVD. Please?]
