Why didn't Gabe say the specific cards :saddowns:

[QUOTE=Cjmax;30775391]I asked Gabe what kind of PC he had. I was wondering since he should have a top notch computer ;) [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/gabespc.JPG[/img] Response: [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/gabespc2.JPG[/img][/QUOTE] 24 GB of RAM? Jesus, and I thought I had alot.

Gabe probably has 4 x Radeon HD 6990 crossfired etc etc.

[b]WELL FUCK![/b] 24GB?!

[QUOTE=Cjmax;30775391] [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/gabespc2.JPG[/img][/QUOTE] [i][b]Why?[/i][/b] What human has [i]twenty-four gigabytes of RAM?[/i]

[QUOTE=buttered_toast;30779469][i][b]Why?[/i][/b] What human has [i]twenty-four gigabytes of RAM?[/i][/QUOTE] Multiboxing in WoW.

[QUOTE=Civil;30778450]Gabe probably has 4 x Radeon HD 6990 crossfired etc etc.[/QUOTE] Isn't the max on dual GPU cards 2way, so 2xGTX 590s and 2x6990s.

[QUOTE=Squarebob;30779811]Isn't the max on dual GPU cards 2way, so 2xGTX 590s and 2x6990s.[/QUOTE] He is Gabe Newell. I am sure he can.

[QUOTE=buttered_toast;30779469][i][b]Why?[/i][/b] What human has [i]twenty-four gigabytes of RAM?[/i][/QUOTE] There are those of us that use massive amounts of file space. Me? I have TERRABYTES of unused file space.

[QUOTE=Itauske Roken;30782265]There are those of us that use massive amounts of file space. Me? I have TERRABYTES of unused file space.[/QUOTE] He's talking about RAM not HDD Space.

my laptop has 8GB of RAM and I use it all. Virtual machines for software development, if you're curious. I can certainly see a need for more, if you're a developer or running a number of dev environments.

I know someone who has 48GB RAM and nearly all of that gets filled up by the RealFlow work he does.

Just got back from Valve! It was awesome and Gabe signed a HL2 mug for me, and I saw him at Subway across the street when I was there.

[QUOTE=AntoniD;30788127]Just got back from Valve! It was awesome and Gabe signed a HL2 mug for me, and I saw him at Subway across the street when I was there.[/QUOTE] 5 dollar footlong!! What kind was he eating? :P (Provided he was eating one)

[QUOTE=-IAW-duton1;30789212]5 dollar footlong!! What kind was he eating? :P (Provided he was eating one)[/QUOTE] It was a footlong, I don't know what it was, but he also had 2 chocolate milks and was on a white iPad2 while eating it.

Removed because it was retarded and I was tired.

[QUOTE=AntoniD;30789451]It was a footlong, I don't know what it was, but he also had 2 chocolate milks and was on a white iPad2 while eating it.[/QUOTE] Confirmed, Gabe loves Chocolate Milk

[QUOTE=buttered_toast;30789465]I've lost my train of thought. [img]http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee277/jefferyhodges/Train_wreck_at_Montparnasse_1895.jpg?t=1242020607[/img] And the topic has been derailed.[/QUOTE] That post doesn't help. Has anyone emailed Robin asking if they're going to nerf One Thousand and One Demoknights?

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;30789489]Confirmed, everyone loves Chocolate Milk[/QUOTE] ftfy

[QUOTE=FlamingSpaz;30782821]He's talking about RAM not HDD Space.[/QUOTE] Realized that after posting :P

Dave Kircher is such a winner.

I love how this originally was a cool and interesting Valve interaction place that changed to a pathetic need for free merchandise. D: Does anyone send sincere emails there anymore? I'd rather just talk to them or have a discussion about what it's like to work at Valve, not kiss ass then bask in the glory of free shit. :v:

Though, i never got a response.

Oh, I forgot to post this picture [quote][t]http://f.anyhub.net/3md9[/t][/quote] Gabe at Subway

[QUOTE=UberMunchkin;30796887][img]http://horobox.co.uk/u/Ubermunchkin_1309449439.png[/img] :buddy:[/QUOTE] Mike's not comfortable with the current version he has and he is currently working out a new version. He said it'd be about a week and so a week has passed. [editline]30th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=AntoniD;30813397]Oh, I forgot to post this picture Gabe at Subway[/QUOTE] Print this out and send it to him to sign.

[QUOTE=AntoniD;30813397]Oh, I forgot to post this picture Gabe at Subway[/QUOTE] Good, at least he's eating fresh

[QUOTE=AntoniD;30813397]Oh, I forgot to post this picture Gabe at Subway[/QUOTE] Dude he looks really thin, He's just like Jared

I wouldn't call it thin. He looks great, though.

[QUOTE=redBadger;30815414]I wouldn't call it thin. He looks great, though.[/QUOTE] A lot skinnier then I expected, I mean, the fat jokes I hear make me think he's a sumo wrestler or something.
