Gabe Newell: No, not the client.

Are there any plans to add Linux support in the future?

Gabe Newell: No.

Quite interesting. I need to add "play HL2" to the "things I would do if I woke up and everyone was gone" thread.

I know someone that has the stolen HL2 code downloaded onto his computer. (it has a few maps and a working engine) I played through a bit of it and its AWESOME.

I'm not going to tell you anything else b/c I don't want to spoil it for you guys.

Some of the interview questions are mindbogglingly silly.

"I was just wondering if there would be a visual difference between a dx6 card and above type of cards when visual goodies are turned up full?"

They had something like that in the original half-life.

(try whacking a security guard with your crowbar and you'll see what I mean.)
