It’s been on halflife2.net since 2006 and it’s just been growing since then. A lot of it is somewhat self explanatory in the game and stuff talked about in Raising The Bar, and tons of ambiguity.
I can’t wait to hear Podcast Philip next week.
“Podcast Phillip”. I love that name. I proabbaly should regsiter the domain.
Anyway, unfortuantely I won’t be on next week. I have having a weekend away with my GF in a spa.
Did you order her in the mail Phillip?
No, she ordered me in.
Awesome find, and yes I will conceit to the Phillip Podcast – when he returns.
Quite the interesting podcast guys! I love it!
From what I have gathered is that Valve owns the rights to Opposing Force, which most likely includes Adrian Shephard. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
Thanks,

Glad you like it. I forgot to mention that you guys werre looking for people, sorry about that. We have been talking about starting a new section that would ensure we didb’t miss those kinds of things.
I agree that Valve owns the rights to all characters and games, even if they didn’t make them.
It’s okay. Thanks for mentioning us.
Are you guys on Itunes?
Yup there is an itunes subscribe link at the top of the page… or for the lazy:

Hmm, I used what seemed to be the official iTunes podcast logo, assuming it would be recognisable to iTunes users.
Perhaps I should just use the iTunes logo. I’ll look into it later.
First time I’m listening to the podcast since a few months, still listening, it’s good but I’d like to prove you wrong on the Left4Dead1 demo part(assuming you didn’t correct yourself later in the podcast).
I bought Left4Dead 1 in store, the day it got into store.(maybe 1 day after global release) I played Left4Dead1 demo several days before that… no pre-purchase, played with many friends who didn’t pre-purchase either. So you could play the Left4Dead1 demo before release, although a few days after the pre-orderers got it.
I’m not sure if they corrected themselves later on, but I did point this out in the production chat shortly after they said it. I also pointed out that William should take his head out of the sand when he had no idea the L4D2 demo was going to go public.
From what I recall the L4D1 demo did the same as the L4D2 demo, as you said. Pre-orders got it earlier, but the general public still got it over a week before the actual release.

I made this just for you William.
you sould get a counter to show how many people have downloaded each podcast it would be fun to see
Happy 5 year anniversary of Half-Life 2!
