If I may make a request, I'd like it if in L4D a lobby leader would be kicked if afk for a certain amount of time. (that amount of time would be up to the L4D staff of course) Too many afk lobby leaders these days and I think it's just griefing.
Hey Chet! I met you at the PCG showdown in the UK around this time last year, i bugged you with questions and played L4D like 10 times that day. Was a real honour to meet somebody from Valve. Hope the ESRB ain't giving you guys much trouble over the hand, i love the Graphic Design work ur guys pull off! Inspires me to work hard at my degree so i could work for a company like Valve.
Keep up the gd work and hopefully i'll catch you in a game of L4D2. Stay cool man!
I just want to say great work on the Swamp campaign Chet in L4D 2. Great work on the "Spitter" as well! How did you get inspired for the art design on that one? haha
hey chet, i have read that the old survivor models of l4d might come back. is it true or did someone just posted a fake email from you? anyway i would love to see them back. :D
i'm surprised that you don't have any comments from the L4d2 boycott group... *shudders* 8,000 members and you know what? they're all going to buy it anyway.
to citrusmiracle: Having been in baldr's (please spell peoples' names properly) position with this specific individual, I can say with relative certainty that there is no "grey area" between what chet claims to be and what he really is. I responded to a personal on gamingpassions.com advertising the platonic company of a 5'3 redhead with freckles and IBS for an evening. Thinking that this sounded like a reasonably classy and up-front individual, I show up at the specified location. Let me tell you, my friend, I felt like I had just walked into the set of "how to catch a predator". Studio lighting everywhere, at LEAST three professional-grade cameras, and standing in the middle of it all standing atop a leather sofa, Chet Faliszek; bronzed from farm work and stark naked save for a hand towel draped around his neck.
We discussed his deception and my betrayed feelings over cold Zimas and he apologized for his misdirection, but I was sure he would do it again. Now I know.
In the years that I have spent researching the person known as Chet, I have been shocked to discover one mysterious thing after another. As a matter of fact, prior to working at Valve under the name Chet Faliszek, this person worked in the KGB for fifteen years under the name Chetvana Faliszechski. Before that, I discovered, they had worked for the Imperial Japanese during World War II under the name Chetoko Faliszuda. Unconfirmed reports of a man named Chetrich Faliszausse being the real power behind the Kaiser continue to surface.
Perhaps there is more to this 'Chet' than mere gender.
To the person who posted below (Baldur), I think you need to be less judgemental and absolute about the concept of male/female as a binary absolute. As Chet himself will tell you, there's plenty of grey area in between.
What we (and by we, I mean Chet and myself) subscribe to is a polyamorous lifestyle that's free of the shackles of gender as well as monogamy. I think it was very open and nice of him to welcome you into our society, and I am appalled at how you would respond to this invitation with the kind of medieval thinking that has enslaved millions of loves for generations. Free your mind!
I first met her in Team Fortress a little over a year ago. I was enthralled by Chet's easy laugh and melodious voice. We quickly developed a rapport as she liked to play heavy weapons guy, and I play medic exclusively. After a few months of ubercharges things started getting serious, and I flew out to Seattle to spend the weekend with her.
CHET IS A FREAKING GUY!!! When we met I just stared at him for like a minute, and he said, "Is there a problem?" He wanted to act like nothing was up, but I just screamed at him "Dude, I broke up with my girlfriend for you, and you turn out to be some sort of internet transvestite". Then he started to make a move on me, and I ran out of the bar.
