I wish this podcast was recorded on physical media so it could be thrown into the sun. To hear whateverhisnameis call all Valve games terrible looking and HARPING ON IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER was beyond silly. I have not played Left 4 Dead, but Portal and the other Valve games look good to me. I don't see the complaint.
Also, saying that popular things must always be good (sarcastically) is FAILURE because good things can be as incredibly popular as terrible things can. I'll leave it up to you as to what is terrible and what's not.
I'm going to go forget this podcast ever happened.

While Tim might've been a bit harsh and unrelenting with the jokes, he does have a point. Graphics are really not the strong point of recent Valve games. While the shortcoming may be understandable (Portal was not made to be a stand alone game, L4D needs to have tons of zombies moving at a very fast pace, TF2 takes a different visual style, etc), it's a valid criticism nonetheless.
But of course, that doesn't necessarily mean the games are bad, nor do i think that's what Tim was trying to say... He was just kinda bad at expressing his point.

I don't think he was trying to make a point as much as he was trying to be an annoying toddler. To me, the way a game looks is helpful to my enjoyment, but it isn't the most important factor. I'm looking at gameplay above that, and for all of the Valve games I have played, they have a good tract record of being awesome.
To harp on the graphics is someone desperately trying to find an angle of attack, and he's failing pretty pitifully. I don't disagree that his constant jabs weren't funny, though.
