"The Buffalo Theory"


A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest
buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest
and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This
natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because
the general speed and health of the whole group keeps
improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as
fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of
alcohol, as we know, kill brain cells. But naturally,
it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first.
In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the
weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more
efficient machine! That's why you always feel smarter
after a few beers.

Friday, August 5 2005

While we know we're starting to sound a little like a broken record, Lost
Coast, Day of Defeat, and Aftermath are in the final phases of development
and being polished for release. While the latter two aren't quite at the
point where we can nail down an exact release date, we're expecting to have
Lost Coast ready in a couple of weeks.

One of the interesting features we added to Lost Coast is a commentary
system, where you'll be able to hear first-hand some of the background on
the features and choices in Lost Coast from the team responsible for
building it. If this is something that goes over well with the community,
we'll be adding it into our future titles.

We'll also be releasing a new SAS model for Counter-Strike: Source in the
very near future. Here are a couple of screenshots of what it looks like
currently.

Finally, next week we'll have an announcement of another new game that will
be coming to Steam that wasn't built here at Valve.
