If the snickers is your motivation I'd recommend merchandising rather that software development, in my 15+ years in the software industry I've never experienced anything thing like what they are describing at valve (granted I've worked for companies like IBM who are hardly trendy game companies..).. Most people I know in merchandising however are sick of chocolate they have had so much of it...Amarok said:In before moronic fat jokes (or maybe not, looking above).
A giant bowl of snickers? Fuck, I need to get me some programming and/or design skills.
Perhaps I could join valve for the sole purpose of pushing that Boomer plushie onto the unsuspecting masses?Luke Cartner said:If the snickers is your motivation I'd recommend merchandising rather that software development, in my 15+ years in the software industry I've never experienced anything thing like what they are describing at valve (granted I've worked for companies like IBM who are hardly trendy game companies..)..

Same. I'm not sure why. Is it that this happens among adults, is it that he goes through such extraordinary measures to protect his butter and it seems normal to him or is it the seriousness with which he tells us this? I can't say but it was pretty funny.Woodsey said:OT: That whole butter discussion had me laughing.
Very likely. The "Quadruple Bypass" Burger is 8000.beema said:I'm pretty sure Wolpaw was being facetious when he said 7000 calories.
Yeah, that was pointed out, and if you read on I do the right thing by that info.SirBryghtside said:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8eRjw-xogQSaintWaldo said:Show me a quote of him saying, "sorry for being a dick to half of you," or words to that effect, and I'll come down off the horse.

The lengths that they go to to make sure the player has a good experience is insane.SaintWaldo said:Because if there's one thing Gabe Newell knows, it's snacks. Treating your customers right, not so much. But when it comes to snacking, MAN, that Newell is fucking PRO!
This film gives me great hope for the emerging semiotic skills of today's youth. They really hit it with this one. IMO.
That certainly didn't make me want to give him anything, ever. And he's never ever tried to apologize, as far as I've been able to find. So, he earned that insult.
Thanks for playing.
He apologises right at the start, if memory serves.
"Happy thanksgiving..." *cries*The Zango said:"Gabe.... Um... Can I have a Snickers bar?"... Gabe looks up from the snack bowl, chocolate covering his face.
"You can have whats left!"
this is not microsoft!Jelly ^.^ said:There are more than 100 comments, so I'm going to assume at least half are fat jokes aimed at Gabe Newell, so I shall not add to them.
