a PODCAST...
Our friend Phillip Marlowe over at PlanetPhillip.com has co-developed PODCAST17 a weekly podcast that covers the latest news, reviews, interviews, gossip, rumours, websites, maps, mods, media releases and anything else related to the Half-Life universe. We were invited for a live interview and reveal some insights into StriderMountain. The SM interview begins at the 45:00 timeframe of the podcast. You can hear the INTERVIEW HERE.

and a POLL. As we prepare for release, it's time to develop the walkthrough for StriderMountain. So, we got to thinking about what format is most preferred: written or video. We need you to cast your vote, so we have set up a one (1) question poll. Please take about 10 seconds to answer. Many thanks. POLL HERE
UPDATE: DECEMBER 20, 2008 The poll has closed. The SM team would like to THANK everyone who took the time to help us out with the walkthrough.
Final Results:
Text + Screenshots (70%)
Text + Video (29%)
Other (1%)

~97%
~2 years of development,

Do the math :)

97% of 2years(730 days)=(708 days)
730-708 = ~22 days

Don't hold me on it though, just a guess, and I like math.
