the best 52 seconds in film history

overlai:

So it turns out Gaben tested Deus Ex 1.

 ”When Gabe Newell from Valve came down and played our prototype missions, he correctly identified the utter lack of tension in our skill and augmentation use, as written up in the design doc and ably implemented by the coders. The worst was confirmed when Marc LeBlanc, Doug Church, Rob Fermier, and other friends from Looking Glass Studios and Irrational Games played the proto-missions and came to the same conclusions. Actually using skills and augmentations revealed things that merely thinking about them could never have revealed.”
 ”In May 1999, we had a milestone calling for the delivery of the first two missions of the game, playable start to finish. All of our game systems were implemented (not hacked) as originally documented. You could start a game, create a character, upgrade skills, solve problems in a variety of ways, manipulate inventory, acquire augmentations, talk to NPCs, get and accomplish goals, save your game, and so on. To the team’s chagrin, I had a tendency to call this the “Wow, these missions suck” milestone. It was around this time when Gabe Newell came for a visit and gave us our wake-up call, and where we all went, “Ulp! We have a lot of work to do.” Our earlier demos had shown the potential of what we were doing. This demo showed us how far we had to go before we reached that potential.”

My newish song. Enjoy~

[Picture shows a background split into a spiral of 8 different colours. Clockwise: light purple, dark brown, dark purple, light brown, dark brown, light purple, light brown, dark purple. In the middle of the picture is a brown bear shown from waist up while standing. The bear’s mouth is wide open and its paws are raised. There is text on the top and bottom. Top text says: “Post a new topic on a forum. No replies.” Bottom text says: “They all think I’m stupid.”]
