[QUOTE=Bittorrent;34679185]He is a fatass though.[/QUOTE] It's not funny any more to make jokes about it, though.
[QUOTE=Dlaor-guy;34679211]It's not funny any more to make jokes about it, though.[/QUOTE] Since when
[QUOTE=Bittorrent;34679221]Since when[/QUOTE] Since ever. Gabe seems like a really nice person.

[QUOTE=Bittorrent;34679221]Since when[/QUOTE] HUEHUE Let's laugh at Gabe for being fat, I'm sure that will make him feel better for all the good things he has done for us what a nice repayment guys
[QUOTE=***zer0***;34679253]Since ever. Gabe seems like a really nice person.[/QUOTE] He is.
He should loose weight.
[QUOTE=Bittorrent;34679311]He should loose weight.[/QUOTE] No, it's quite compact.
[QUOTE=VaSTinY;34679280]HUEHUE[/QUOTE] please don't do that ever again
[QUOTE=Bittorrent;34679311]He should loose weight.[/QUOTE] I think he'd be healthier if he lost the weight instead of loosening it.
I thought Gabe was actually self conscious of his weight, and that he's actually lost a great deal of weight since Gabe's fat jokes have been around.
lol gabe weight megathread v1

[QUOTE=garychencool;34679634]Gabe goes to the servers?[/QUOTE] There's a joke on SPUF about one of the other Valve employees and his obsession for snickers. It's actually not a gabe joke, it's making fun of someone else. I can't remember who though. I think his name was Tim. Edit: Actually here we go.

When his facial hair became too prominent to disguise, he jumped into a Geek Squad uniform and enrolled as a Computer Science major at Southern Methodist University. In 2007, Burton joined Valve as a Community Developer. He came with a signature giggle, an addiction to Snickers, and the rare ability to find a relevant song for any occasion. Now, Burton can also claim expertise in web development, anti-cheat development, and community management. [/quote] It's [URL="http://valvesoftware.com/company/people.html"]Burton Johnsey[/URL]

[QUOTE=Deiru;34680015]I thought it was Burton.[/QUOTE] Yeah I edited my post as you posted that.
I always thought the servers will spread out in various locations so an issue such at this in one place wouldn't prevent anyone from logging on. Mind you this is mostly because I can't ever remember a time where I couldn't log into the steam client (the friends/community system isn't so reliable).
[QUOTE=uitham;34679060]How were some people still able to connect[/QUOTE] They were able to connect to offline servers[I] by simply being that awesome. [/I]:v:
Is Professor Farnsworth working for Valve now?
Huh, I didn't even realise Steam was offline yesterday. When did it happen in GMT?
Wait, how does a power failure in one data center cause all Steam users to be unable to connect? Don't they have their servers all over the world? If it all relies on a single center it doesn't really sound like a good system.
I have reinstalled Steam 2 times like an idiot
