Minh "Gooseman" Le, the creator of Counter-Strike, sits in for an hour-long podcast about his history developing videogames, from the creation of one of the most beloved and influential multiplayer games of the '90s to his work on new projects that blend all of his influences together, like the upcoming Alpha Response. We discuss changes in the game development industry, work culture at Valve, and what makes Counter-Strike so fundamentally special and lasting in a world crowded with a plethora of options for First Person Shooters.
