Podcasts about Erik Wolpaw

My guest today is the American writer and game designer Chet Faliszek. In the nineties he and his friend Erik Wolpaw founded the website Old Man Murray. The satirical online publication poked fun at video gaming's sacred cows and established a tone that is still prevalent across the internet today. After catching the attention of Half-Life creator Gabe Newell, the pair joined the video game developer Valve. There my guest contributed to the writing on Half Life 2 Episodes 1 and 2, co-wrote Portal, then led development of Left 4 Dead and its sequel. In 2017 he left Valve, eventually founding his own studio Stray Bombay. The company's first game, The Anacrusis, is a brightly coloured and joke-filled cooperative first-person shooter set aboard a stranded spaceship.

My guest today is an American writer for some of the funniest video games yet made. In the nineties he and a friend founded the website Old Man Murray, a satirical online publication that poked fun at video gaming's sacred cows, and established a tone still prevalent across the internet today. The site was read by Gabe Newell, creator of Half-Life, who later hired both writers. At Valve my guest collaborated on a new game in which a vindictive artificial intelligence chastises players as they solve a series of puzzle rooms using a gun that fires warp points. Portal became a smash hit; Stephen Merchant, co-creator of The Office, voiced a character in the sequel. Today my guest continues to work as a semi-retired contractor for Valve. “In defense of games, I want to point out that the writing in plays, including everything by August Strindberg and The Lion King, is 100% pure crap,” he once joked. “So, we're doing better than they are, even though they have the benefit of mostly not being about space marines.” Welcome, Erik Wolpaw.Clips under discussion:Junkit by Tommy Tallarico.EverQuest by Jay Barbeau.GTA3 theme Craig Conner.The Beginning by Shunsuke Kida.Slay the Spire by Clark Aboud.All other music by Simon Parkin.

Seanbaby invites Brockway and guest Erik Wolpaw to talk about Power Team. He meant the knockoff Captain N cartoon, and not the strong Christian madmen, but Brockway wasn't paying attention... so we do both! Power Teams!

Welcome to the Day One Patch Podcast, where we cover the week's gaming news, rumours, reports, and more. This week, Ryan, Tim, Adriano, and Matt learned an important lesson in Starburst eating followed by a discussion on Sony's new in-game ad system, Amy Hennig's new Star Wars game, and Erik Wolpaw's desire to make Portal 3. To wrap things up the Query Corner Question returns this week asking - Should games have most of their lore exposed in the story, or if it should be left to side content and collectables?

This week we turn the crank of Panic's Playdate, finish up Norco, try the PC port of Glover on for size, marvel at the idea of a Crazy Taxi SUPER GAME, speculate about a Streets of Rage movie and a third Portal (and the whereabouts of Erik Wolpaw), and more!

On today's Daily Fix, Erik Wolpaw, the co-writer of the Portal franchise really wants to make Portal 3, but there's a small indie company no one's ever heard of called Valve that kinda has the final say. But Wolpaw is down whenever Valve gives the word, he just wishes it's sooner rather than later. And speaking of Valve, a modder has, for years, been working on getting Krystal from Star Fox Adventures into Half-Life 2. Yes, you read that right. Modder Gagnetar has replaced the model-and now the voice-for Alyx in HL2 with Krystal and her original voice actor, Estelle Ellis. The full mod will be released later this year. And in Kingdom Hearts news, a Twitter user has tracked down where Sora lives in Tokyo, based on the images from the recent trailer. Sora must be loaded because according to Kingdom Hearts fan Audrey Lamsam, the luxury apartments he wakes up in is very, very expensive. Do you want Valve to make Portal 3? What other crazy Nintendo characters should modders add to Half-Life 2? Let us know in the comments!

Aperture Science was a meme factory.  Years after Portal's release, we are still quoting the jokes and phrases that helped give the game its unique personality.  With the forthcoming release of Portal 2, writer Erik Wolpaw is grappling with the memes spawned by the original.  Making cake references might be an easy way to wink at fans, but there is a danger of the game collapsing under the weight of its own baggage.  This week, we discuss the unique challenges facing Portal 2 and consider the ways in which memes function in video games and the video game community.  We'd be interested to hear your thoughts in the comments, be they on the subject of cake, cubes, or Keyboard Cats.     Some discussion starters:   - Will it be hard for Portal 2 to distance itself from the baggage of the first game?  Would you be disappointed if there were not cake references? - What are some of your favorite game memes and why?  Is there a specific purpose they serve either in or out of the game? - Is it possible to have gameplay memes?     To listen to the podcast:   - Subscribe to the EXP Podcast via iTunes here.
