Warren Spector. Steam. Orgasm.

In what has been a great week for incredible Steam news, we found out today that Warren Spector, the lead man behind Deus Ex, is working together with Valve to create a new game for the Steam platform.
Quote:
"We are currently working with Valve on a new game using the Source Engine to be delivered via Steam, and are looking for top talent from within the industry to help us out."




His company, Junction Point Studios, is advertising for jobs.

Warren Spector? Digital distribution? The combination is enough to make most gamers weak at the knees. With their "focus on player-driven, improvisational gameplay in the context of strong, traditional narratives" and their goal "to tell stories with players, not to them," Junction Point Studios look to be a force to be reckoned with.

More information at the website. Think you can be of help? Take a look at the jobs on offer.

Oh my GOD!

My jaw literally and involuntarily dropped and I couldn't close it again until I'd finished reading.

This is going to be weird.

Rofl it's funny because it's true

Deus Ex was teh sechs, and Deus Ex 2 had a weaker story, but the (albeit weird) graphics made up for it (seeing it was the first that seemed really 'next-gen' to me).
