Our friends at Byteside were at the press conference Gabe Newell gave in Sydney yesterday. He discussed their plans for Left 4 Dead 2 and also introduced us to L4D modder, Joe W-A, who petitioned Newell to fly to Australia.
Here’s what happened.

Thursday, October 8, 2009 at 10:48 PMYikes!!! Horrible marketing & or interview. This guy seems completely incompetent. Does he even have anything to demonstrate/show?
Gabe seems to bridge the gap and has a nice human ‘one of us’ vibe in presentation and understanding towards gaming culture.
My question based on my limited knowledge of this person, does he have anything of quality to offer? Does his mod warrant this attention? Will anything come of this? Is valve wanting to fund his mod?

Good on you, Gabe =]
