Valve's Gabe is a brony

[MagmaMan]

This could well be the reason Episode 3 has been delayed for so long...but....strangely...I think I'm okay with this.

On a serious note, I think their plan is to either build up the hype for Half-Life 3/Half-Life 2: Episode 3 to an enormous extent to ensure everyone and their mom will buy it when it does come out or they are waiting for their programs to come up with a new engine that would be just as awesome as the Source Engine was when it first came out. Or both.

so .....

he like MLP FiM, or at the very least says he dose ....

>.>
<.<

i'm clearly missing the part of this where it's
1)news worthy
2)worth feeling anything other then 'meh' over.

sides... doesn't he have another 'soon to be highly over rated' FPS to make?

 

[Scarim Coral]

So another famous person is a brony, I wonder who is the next celebrity to admit he/ she is a brony too?

 

[lacktheknack]

So has Gabe just turned his interviews into some kind of blog?

No, the interviewer asked him about his guilty pleasures.

And it was a throwaway line that the internet attached to like a leech because that's what it does. Not very blog-like.

 

[lacktheknack]

If someone posts something you don't like, you don't have to read it, or even visit that site at all.

It's a bit hard to miss your avatar, for example.

That's the point he's getting at, of course you're having difficulty understanding it as you're a fan thus the almost constant bombardment doesn't irritate you.

"Constant bombardment" that doesn't actually occur outside of pony threads. Not much of a constant bombardment.

Unless you refer to avatars, but I'll defend the right to select your own avvie to the death due to the nature of my various ones (you wouldn't believe how many requests I get to change them).

Good to see I'm not the only person around here who isn't a Valve nut.

I'm not a big fan of first person shooters. Never have been. I don't see why I would make an exception for Valve.

I'd buy the heck out of a My Little Pony game, though.

Shame zynga is the only possible company that may make one. And it will probably be a cityville reskin.

Get some aspiring game designers to get a job at Valve and you'll see a triple-A MLP game in no time.

In the meantime, we have Go Fast [http://mixermike622.deviantart.com/#/d4rcb9h]

Some of those fan-made games looks pretty high quality as well. Wasn't there a JRPG-style MLP game being made? Not to mention Fighting Is Magic and Pony Kart.

OT: That's nice, I guess? I'm sure most famous people have some 'guilty' pleasures.

 

[Elate]

You know what? It just makes him 20% cooler.

 

[Neverhoodian]

So Gaben watches MLP...that's cool, if you're into that sort of thing. It's really not a big deal one way or another. Lots of people watch MLP nowadays. Don't know why people are freaking out about it. To each his/her own.

[Lugbzurg]

So, Gabe Newel likes watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic...? Cool.

I shouldn't be surprised. It seemed like the kind of thing he'd enjoy, anyway. Nice to know.

But, I do agree that a lot of these "bronies"... "phonies" as I call these types, can get really out of hand. When they get to horking down things in people's faces (you should see the Hub's FaceBook page. It isn't pretty...) and putting up so many drawings that turn a complete 180 on everything the show itself stands for, that's when I get upset.

It's a lot like Portal. Valve fans know a lot about that, right? There are those who enjoy it for the intelligent, innocent game that it is and then there are those that just "like" it to make cake quotes that they somehow think are jokes. It's like I've said before... "Every fanbase has its fools."

 

[DarkRyter]

Oh . . . no? I'll be honest, I'm just puzzled. Man likes TV show.

I've never got the controversy. It's just a show.

You're one reasonable human being.

You have my approval.

 

[DANEgerous]

THIS JUST IN! Lead developer on Mass Effect 3 says "Pizza Combos are awesome!" fans outrage over the ending of the game is renewed!

I think we need to make a distinction here: Is he a brony... or does he simply watch and enjoy MLP? I mean he said it but it doesn't necessarily mean he is actually part of the Brony community.

I was gonna say the same thing... Ninja's everywhere

Teach me please? I wanna be a ninja :3

You must first know yourself!

 

[Easton Dark]

Add magic and hugs to Half-Life 3, please.

Preferably magic hugs.

And Spike. Everything needs more Spike. Hell yeah.

 

[deserteagleeye]

I feel like 60's Spiderman for the amount of fucks I don't give.
Although the comments are always a hoot.
