	Log in to remove this sponsored message quote Valve Software is good at three things: developing first-person shooter games such as Half-Life and Counter-Strike, digitally distributing its games on its 35 million-member Steam network, and keeping its employees happy. The computer software company’s “Handbook for New Employees” (PDF) recently surfaced online and—let’s just say that if we knew anything about designing computer games, we’d send an application to the company right now. Here are the most interesting details found in the 56-page booklet... http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1074301/Valve_Handbook_LowRes.pdf This is the greatest thing ever. It provides nice insight to the history of Valve, and the mechanics of working for Valve. Plus there's bits and pieces of hilarity on every page that every Valve fan will appreciate. note: HL3 hint on pg 20 Fig 2-4 Edit: May 04, 12 8:37am ------------------- blog \| gallery \| last.fm

	Wow, if that's legit I'll bet it's that working environment that makes Valve one of the most successful and highly respected companies in the business. Hell, I might even quit music and go study game design in America :> ------------------- {Steam Forum} HOW NOT TO CS:S

	Saw it on reddit several days ago. That figure on page 20 is why I've been convinced we're going to hear something about Half-Life 3 at E3, but everybody I talk to is convinced it's going to be Portal 3!

	quote Chekkaa Btw, figure 2.4 is on page 22. I knew there would be a bit of confusion, so I went with the PDF page number instead. ------------------- blog \| gallery \| last.fm

	Yeah, the link is dead for me too The Don. Also, is the high resolution version exclusive to Valve, or is it publicly available somewhere? ------------------- α Ω Blood Dragon ~\| Rift \|~ Starbound

	I edited the first post with the new link: http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1074301/Valve_Handbook_LowRes.pdf I couldn't find a high-res version. Not sure if a high-res version is leaked. ------------------- blog \| gallery \| last.fm
