Valve Employee Handbook

[Casper_013]

Most would have seen this link on Steam already. For those who haven't, here it is. The Valve Employee Handbook

It's quite an interesting read, and look into what a gaming company is all about.

Enjoy

The best parts are the instructions for how to do things, and the glossary.

Rule #1 in the valve handbook - Delay any game's 3rd installment as long as possible (Portal 3, L4D3, HL3)

Rule #2 - EVERY GABE NEWELL JOKE DELAYS EPISODE 3 BY 6 MONTHS, L4D2 BY 2 MONTHS, AND PORTAL 3 BY 1 HOUR (Since no one really cares about portal).

Yup. this is where i'm working when i get out and find a place of my own.

Got it all figured out too (mostly)

It'll take at least 9 years to complete (thats completing school and getting 3 years in the field for experience and requirements)
If that isn't enough, i'll go back till i get a higher degree. I'll go as high as i need to to get that job)

I don't care if it takes 25 years to get a job there. I'm gonna work there.

(sorry, full of passion right now. But yeah. I'm getting a job way up there by Meg. It'll be fun. Sorry Lung and Nuke, i'm leavin the good ol' country.)

I wonder if this is a PR stunt for Half Life Episode 3.
