We're playing a Half-Life Cut content recreation mod, Half-Life: Absolute Zero, with one of the original level designers from Valve Software, Brett Johnson. Mr. Johnson worked at Valve from 1996 until 1999, and was responsible for most of the design of Anomalous Materials, Unforeseen Consequences, Surface Tension, the multiplayer map Stalkyard, among many other things. We play through his sections of this recreation mod, judging it's accuracy, and telling stories of what Valve was like back in the 90s. This one is special, thank you Brett.

I almost forgot about that period of VNN. I actually liked the sensationalism, even already knowing most of it was probably wrong, but it was still interesting to listen to especially if I'm not really paying attention, though I can see how that can easily impact his credibility and reputation.
