@@mzaite i mean half like 1 half life 2 half life alyx is a full game and all the side shit is so like 3 1/2 games. portal has some side games but not nearley as many and there more aperture games so yeah two is accurate maybe 2 1/2
Let's keep in mind that this is the CLOSEST we've gotten to anything even remotely approaching withing the vicinity of anything related to Portal 3. Quite simply a milestone.
Clue me in a little... who the heck is kaci and slacks? I didn't find them quite so funny in this skit but then again it was intended to be a tongue in cheek cringe attempt.
Ever since Glados became a voice pack(the only voice pack i truly love n use) i also hoped for other portal characters to become a voice pack and now my mans man Cave Johnson becomes one
I love how well aware valve is about the inside jokes the community is making about them and working that into these sketches The world wouldn't be the same without you guys. Also Gabe is a real treasure. Hope you'll never lose your fun for doing things like this.
Not gonna lie, would definitely watch it. Though I don't know if he'd want to make it or if he would have time to. He only has a month of life left (Valve time).
Now we need a Tobey announcer pack with JK simmons. Oh yea. The skits this ti is godlike. With the support skit that also has gaben in it and the players of the old. If only the grand finals were between TL and TS, it would have been ti3 v2.0.
did you write could instead of couldn’t on purpose? cause, y‘know, "i could care less" would mean you care about Dota 2 to some unspecified degree but the rest of the comment kinda sounds like you were going for the opposite so I‘m a tad confused
the fucking light turning on with GabeN sitting there just staring at the camera is one of the most raw pieces of footage I've ever seen and that's beautiful
00:40 this whole sequence is underrated. So fucking good, especially the build up to slacks confusion when she says that she doesn't care if he's naked or not. Just perfect.
Alright guys, so they said 1 week- Valve time, which apparently equates to 4 years, so if we do the math and assume Half life 3 will take the same time to develop as Alyx, we can confidentely say that Valve would take 6 days to develop Half life 3 in Valve time
The next TF2 update should be about within in a 4 to 8 “weeks”. The next issue of the comic should be out around then too give or take a few more “weeks”.
Will they include a few of Caroline's lines in this pack? Just imagine you get a solo kill and Cave says "Say goodbye, Caroline" and Caroline replies with "Goodbye, Caroline"
@@derekfurst6233 - Ellen described it as progressional but still friendly. In fact, she looked forward to the next sessions when she was recording as GLaDOS. I love that.
@@Pluvillion I remember there was leaked audio from a recording session once. It was audio in the background of something else but someone managed to boost and enhance it. It was from The Lab from 2016. The announcer who walks you through robot repair (so the portal 2 announcer). Very professional, kinda dry. Whoever was directing was very particular with the intonation and timing of the delivery. Interesting but not very entertaining
@@Pluvillion of course. That's precisely what I'm saying. The top level commenter implies that they think watching the filming would be entertaining. I'm saying it will probably be pretty ordinary
valve translating “4 years” to “one week (valve time)” is unprecedented self awareness
A few weeks (Valve time) is reportedly how long Chell spent in hibernation at the Aperture facility.
@@Syphaxisand a month (valve time) for adrian shepherd stuck in valve induced stasis
wait so how long would the wait for half life 3 be in valve time so far
1 week valve time = 4 years
Their skill is astonishing, they made TF2 in two and a half weeks
Wow…
So it’s been a little over a week since the last TF2 update…
@@TheSalmoneer We gotta wait a valve year for heavy update... Oh no
After a little over 2 weeks of development, hopefully it was worth the wait...
Wait, actually?
Now I get all the weird comments in the tf2 source code. Those devs lost a few screws during that time😆
J. K. Simmons needs to record every line that is humanly possible so that future generations, beyond his own time, can be blessed with his resonance, no matter the context.
thank you i was trying to remember his name!
Or they could do what they’re doing with James Earl Jones and have an AI replicate his voice
@@megawarrior_101 They did that for Luke Skywalker on an episode of the Boba Fett show (guess Mark Hamill’s voice changed too much), and if it didn’t quite work for a guy who was supposed to be at inner peace b/c not enough emoting, it definitely wouldn’t work for Cave Johnson.
Well if technology continues to improve.. An AI might be able to replicate his voice, though I do agree with ya.
"The United States has fallen. I don't really know how, or what year it is, but it has fell"
I like how they portray Gabe as a force not to be reckon with.
Even so, Cave Johnson in classic fashion refuses to cooperate.
Let's be real, he's got Microsoft money. I don't want to be on the wrong end of that
Because he is
He's the Big Boss

Choose one
Whoever is in charge of marketing at Valve deserves a raise. I don't even play or like Dota but this video makes me want to.
exactly, i may start just because of this
Its actually slacks himself
As far as I know Kaci is actually responsible for that. She's been doing a great job at it.
If you value your sanity stay the F away
I wish they let you lock the camera like in League of Legends, the learning curve is way worse because of that. I really wanted to learn too ;-;
The self awareness of Valve and Gabe N makes this content so refreshing, huge props for the fantastic writing

I want to hear more Cave Johnson lines almost enough to play DOTA
They also got GLaDOS full announcer pack btw.

Almost...
Couldn’t care less about DOTA. Will definitely watch a compilation of all his voice lines on TH-cam
Same, lol. I've never even thought of playing, until right now.
" 1 Week - Valve Time" This is gold 🤣
1 week - Valve Time

and it was revealed to be 4 years lol
Everything makes sense now!
Guys i dont know what you want half life 2 came out month ago why are you so impatient
The self depreciation and self awareness Is beautiful
It is officially canon that Gabe saved Cave Johnson’s live during the Vietnam War
I thought the joke was that he said 'Nam but just meant when they were both randomly in Vietnam lmao
@@daniolussome always sunny type shit
it’s even better. He said he saved his life in ‘nom’, and Cave Johnson recalled choking on a hot dog.
and it wasn't even because of the war

Relatable
Gotta prioritize, plus valve time, amiright?
It's okay to be lazy as long as you're self-ironic.

Valve always has incredible writing in any project they work on. Love to see their quality remain so high despite the quantity being so low.
Now if only they could count past 2…
@@mzaite Well there's 7 Half-Life games, and technically 4 Portal games.

i love that kaci is back. her and slacks has great comedic chemistry.
kaci is going nowhere she's working inside valve itself
She never left lol
Still has zero knowledge about DotA. Valuable Valve employee though.
Haha u sure are funny

do you like the John Patrick Lowrie one?

Or if they did, it wouldn't be cool
HoN had a Samuel L. Jackson announcer pack which if introduced to Dota I would pay nearly any amount of money for
So glad to hear Cave Johnson again
3:57
I actually jumped up in terror at that *“Valve time”*
I softly muttered "Ooph." when it came on.
Also, sorry it took me 2-3 (Valve) business days to reply to your comment.
@itsDaedrin I empathize, fellow soldier. I apologize for 10 hour wait (valve time)
the gabe newell voice pack was hilarious and this is amazing
never change valve

The world wouldn't be the same without you guys. Also Gabe is a real treasure. Hope you'll never lose your fun for doing things like this.
Cave Johnson is by far one of my favorite Valve characters and I'm so happy Valve isn't letting such talented voice acting and character go to waste
5:47 Did Gabe just refer to himself as "G Fat"? (sub says it too)
That's a reference of his nickname in China lol
Gabe's acting is on another level
Omg this was so awesome. I want a TV series now with Gabe
Not gonna lie, would definitely watch it. Though I don't know if he'd want to make it or if he would have time to. He only has a month of life left (Valve time).
No
@@visassess8607 Yes
Ahh valve, we still love all the things you do. Even when they take 8 years to be ready
Don't you mean 2 weeks (valve time)?
"Gabe Newell? I saved your life in 'Nam."
"Right, right, choking on a hotdog. That was a dark day."
I remember listening to Kaci on the Bob Rivers show on my drive to work a bazillion years ago, and she's as funny as ever. What an incredible career.
I was really happy ignoring dota for the last 2 years.
Now here we go... They forcefully bring me back to the madness.
"Why this door is locked?" LOL. "One week later" "Valve time". OH NO.
Honestly almost everything Gaben does in this would make for an amazing GIF.
Slacks' Monster Kill line needs to be a permanent addition.

Dear god how I love Gabe Newell. He's PERSONALLY responsible for SO MUCH HAPPINESS I've enjoyed in my life. Somebody saint this man.
I have no idea what just happened but I loved every second of it.
Did Slacks shoot the first part years ago when he was still fat, just for the 4 years later gag? That's some serious commitment
Obviously
Kaci puts up with a lot. I respect her.
this genuinely put a smile on my face
