Valve’s Eric Wolpaw talks to RPS

If you’ve found yourself laughing out loud at the bizarre wit and humor in the game Portal, that’s all thanks to Valve’s Eric Wolpaw. In this interview with RockPaperShotgun, the writer of Portal talks about his experiences at Old Man Murray, the move to Valve, and the development of Portal.

I figured I’d be spending most of my time getting fired in a few weeks. Thank God for Portal and Team Fortress and Valve’s decentralized management structure that created an environment where nobody 100% knew who had the authority to fire me until I was able to actually make a meaningful contribution.
