This is not helping any stereotypes that people have of Gabe.
God damn. I thought it was...agh. Good on him.
Cooking Gabe, coming soon to Steam.
Valve is being remembered as "struck gold with free-to-play online video game" now? My love for Valve is slowly drying up with all these hats and f2p business.

[QUOTE]Gabe Newell, who runs a Bellevue company called Valve, which has struck gold with free-to-play online video games.[/QUOTE] What a sadly accurate description.
can it cook stuff with steam
Hopefully it will be worth the weight.
[QUOTE=TorrentR;41024416]Hopefully it will be worth the weight.[/QUOTE] Someone's weight is going up. :v:
Valve brings in special catering lunches for its staff several times a week; it wouldn't surprise me if Gabe funded this effort in support of that catering.

It looks like Gabe has a whole range of awesome hobbies. I remember seeing him in an iron workshop smithing a crowbar, in the Clang Kickstarter video. It's exactly what I'd do if I had millions to spend.

My love for Valve is slowly drying up with all these hats and f2p business.[/QUOTE] I stopped caring about Valve as game developer. They haven't done anything that interests me at all. No info on ep3/hl3 was funny for maybe first 2 years but now it's just sad that they're taking so long to finish the series. If you're tired of hl2 that's fine, but for the love of god finish it before moving onto other things. If it does come out, I doubt it will be worth the wait, I hope they prove me wrong.

It's so interesting to see news articles referencing stuff from the videogame world from that "outsider" perspective. "A company in Bellevue called Valve". [QUOTE=daijitsu;41024522]image in the article [img]http://i.imgur.com/RuaUJtI.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] that looks like liquid nitrogen ice cream, though
This is awesome!
Been following Chefsteps for sometime, those guys are pretty cool. I wish I had the money for some of the kitchen hardware they use.

I approve of this!

Why are people acting like free to play games have retroactively ruined Steam? [editline]14th June 2013[/editline] Also I wonder what the house rub tastes like, makes me wonder if they cook ribs.
