Bit Cultures writes: "Bay Raitt is an industry veteran who’s commercial works span across the comic, film, and video game industries. Some of his most commonly recognized video game animation work can be seen in the Valve titles: Half Life 2, the Portal series, Team Fortress 2, and the Left 4 Dead series. Before joining Valve Software, Bay was at the forefront of computer graphics as the Creature Facial Lead at Weta Digital, where he was responsible for modeling and animating the award-winning facial system for the CGI character 'Gollum' in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Behind the scenes, he has helped to design various tools for creative production such as the popular Source Filmmaker, and 3D creation software like Mirai, Wings3D, and Nendo, all the while contributing to his own Digital Sculpting Forum: Spiraloid, and even coining Edge Loop modeling itself! I have always been a fan of his work, and had the chance to ask him a few questions about his background, artistic viewpoint...
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
Valve has finally introduced the much-needed 64-bit support in an unexpected Team Fortress 2 update after 17 years since its release.
64 bit support is not the same as a next gen upgrade. 64 bit has been used for like 12-15 years now?

Portal deserves to be one of steams highest rated games... It's almost tetris levels of perfect game design.
Gotta love Steam. Just got Portal 2 for .97 cents CAD. Should have been $1.29, selected the bundle with Portal 1 and 2, which gets a 25% discount, already have Portal 1, so it removes the cost of that, and still applies the full 25% bundle discount to Portal 2. 90% + 25% discount.
