Interview with the Portal writer

When you moved to Valve - that must have been a strange day - what did you expect to be doing?
I figured I’d be spending most of my time getting fired in a few weeks. Thank God for Portal and Team Fortress and Valve’s decentralized management structure that created an environment where nobody 100% knew who had the authority to fire me until I was able to actually make a meaningful contribution.

All these years and 1/2 of Old Man Murray is still as funny as hell.

I finally finished portal. The writing in the final "boss battle" is quite possibly the funniest writing I have ever seen in a game. Chet is a strange genius.
