Portal's Writers Had the Shortest Job Offer Ever

[Freechoice]

They wrote the stories for L4D and L4D2? Great job, guys. I hope you're happy with your life.

^ Made me laugh.

Tank you. In all seriousness now, though, I know that "writing story" does include things such as dialogue. There was some very funny stuff of that in both of those games. So, again, congrats.

Tank him? That seems a bit rude.

Man, I know I wouldn't have taken this job. If someone sends me an email saying 'No. Come on out.' I'll assume they'll be waiting outside my door with a giant cartoon mallet.

*lolling*
Anyways, I'm certainly jealous a bit, but whenever people have stories about working at valve, they are usually awesome like this.

Sounds like how I fell into my career field. Was just dicking around doing my own thing when suddenly some guy with his own studio asks, "Wanna help us make videos?"

Um, hell yes!

Granted I haven't been asked by anything anywhere nearly as established, reputable, and downright sweet as Valve, so they still have my jealousy. Though I'd be too afraid to go alone if I'd been told, "No. Just come out."

I'd have to bring an expendable meat shie--I mean a friend.
