Kim Swift -- maybe you've heard of her. She had a lead role in the making of Portal, which you also may have heard of. Kind of a big deal. Like "among the top 10 games of the decade" big deal.
Swift has now moved on over to Airtight Game, whose first title, Dark Void for Capcom, ships early next year. It's said that Swift will be team leader in developing "games aimed at a more diverse audience."
Random thing I noticed while reading the press release Airtight sent out about this: Jim Deal is the president of Airtight Games. You take his last name and Swift's first, and you get "Kim Deal." You know, from what Pixies? Right, guys?
Yeah, I've got nothing. Congratulations, and best to luck to Swift in her new gig!

Also, random Pixies reference makes me happy.
It's always good for a laugh, so I've never bothered to change it.
maybe she will go back to valve on a temp transfer to work on it
I wonder if the Half-Life and Portal universe sharing is relevant in the next Half-Life at the very least.

Maybe she just felt to do something aside a first-person shooter. It's what Valve makes best.... but I don't think they have ever done anything else.
maybe today is some "pixies day"?
and yes, now Im wondering whats going to happen with portal 2. she was integral (maybe). was she integral ? hmm...
...oh and good luck, Swift.
Wait, it sucked?
