I don't know if legit or not, but from everything I've heard it sounds like it(just because it sounds like what I've heard from Valve).

A couple pages in, this is the greatest thing I have ever read. There is no doubt that Valve is the best software development studio (not just games) in existence right now.

Why does your desk have wheels? Think of those wheels as a symbolic reminder that you should always be considering where you could move yourself to be more valuable. But also think of those wheels as literal wheels, because thats what they are, and youll be able to actually move your desk with them

FishbowlThe conference room by the lunchroom. The one with a big
glass wall. Dont let the name throw youwe dont actually use it as a fishbowl! Except, of course, on Fishbowl Fridays, where we fill it up with ten thousand gallons of putrid saltwater so that all the manta rays and sharks will have something to breathe while they fight to the death. You wont see it in your list of benefits, not because it isnt fun, but because it is illegal. oh my god yes -- http://i.minus.com/ibvYdtuL5c1867.gif KrahenProphet and Kana are on opposite ends of the Awesome Spectrum. ...

From: foolm0ron | #018 Well all of their games are mainly first-person. Some people don't like that. Of course, I don't like FPS games, yet I love Half-Life 2. And Portal 1 and 2 oh my god so good.

'The other evaluation we do annually is to rank each other against our peers.

I've never played a single Valve game and that handbook compels me to eventually apply there...and try some of their games too.

Maybe they should edit the book so that the 'you choose where to work' section also includes 'oh by the way you ****ers it's been six years and we seriously need a volunteer for Half Life 2: Episode 3, it isn't cute or funny anymore'
