Game writer Erik Wolpaw interviewed

Erik Wolpaw is fated to only ever be refered to as “one half of Old Man Murray“, rather than “co-writer of Psychonauts and writer of Portal”. So today we bring you our interview with one half of Old Man Murray, Erik Wolpaw. We discuss what it’s like to work for Valve, how GLaDOS came about, the role of cake in games, and, of course, why all plays suck.
Note, there's some things in the interview that could be considered spoilers to Portal, to be sure to play that game through before reading it. And if you don't have Portal yet... didn't I tell you to go and buy it yesterday?
