[QUOTE=Mr.T;32831582]Okay Gabe replied I can sign it on anything I want, what should I sign it on?[/QUOTE]
Blow $150 on a professionally-photographed portrait of yourself, sign that.

Send him a poster of yourself and also pack a frame in so he can fame it above his bed.

My school holds a fundraiser every year and today I had the bright idea of asking gabe to sponsor the school by sending us valve merchandise. This merchandise will be raffled away to students and the money raised will help children with life threatening conditions. Do you think that If I tell gabe that and I supply a newspaper clipping of our fundraiser along with a letter from the head teacher he might do it?
has he ever shipped free stuff this far away?

I emailed gabe the morning of Sony's E3 2010 conference. I asked "Any hint as to what we are going to see today?" or something like that and all he replied with was "Today."

:geno:

Hey guys. Well, I just tried one last time to nudge Gabe. Back when I was waiting for a response to that job application (which I mentioned above), I created a second spoof song, this one on "Still Alive." I wasn't gonna do anything with it but I had some time free this past weekend and decided to create another recording/video.

I just wrote him:

[quote]Hi again Gabe. I wrote you and Dina Nelson a couple of weeks ago to send you a video I’d made while waiting (alas, in vain) for a response to my job application for the “Writer” position. Because I’m a crazed completist, I wasn’t satisfied with just despoiling “Want You Gone.” No, I had to do “Still Alive” as well. So here it is... (link removed)

Of course I don’t expect this to get me a job – just thought you’d enjoy it. And if it gets my resume and portfolio a look, hey, that’s the icing on the, um, cake. (No Portal pun intended.)

Thanks for your time... and most importantly, for your inspirational company and its addictive games.[/quote]

So we'll see what that gets me. Most likely? Bupkis. :) But if nothing else, I had fun creating a GLaDOSy voice for this, and I learned how to use Melodyne.

What?

[choie]

Maybe he thinks I should've used Mandarin instead of English?

[Smashman]

No, I think he's being offensive.

[choie]

Yeah, I know... I was just trying to joke and ignore it. No biggie though.

[Smashman]

Yeah, he's just a prick.

You're darn determined, choie. Good on ya. Sucks that they didn't reply, at least to say thanks, but no.

Actually no, I was referring to the other person who made a music video to try and get employed by valve this person:

hence the chin comment

also it's rich coming from you to call someone a prick

[ewitwins]

Gabe must be one hell of a speed-typer, what with all the clever one liners he throws at us all the time :v:

[Mr.T]

I have signed a blank paper with my autograph since my printer sucks at printing photographs, I have also printed a letter addressed to Valve. Post letter and autograph Y/N?

[Harakiwi]

[QUOTE=Harakiwi;31288048]I'm glad that you've got a reply from the man himself.

Last week I've submitted this model to the TF2 contribute site and mailed Gabe about it. Explaining the idea behind the model and how awesome he is etc.
Never got a reply back. I must have touched a nerve... [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/emoot/sigh.gif[/img]

Ok, normally I don't like to spam here, but since the response was great, here's a heads up. I've just submitted the model again to the TF2 workshop. You can view it here: [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2832[/url]

Sorry if I missed something, but who do I email for birthday stuff or gifts? My birthday is coming up and I wish to get a poster or something from them.
I'm thinking of emailing

Also, anyone mind telling me the dimensions of this thing? I wanna frame it.

Well that settles that then

I see, is there any chance of a Trauma Center style minigame in Episode 3 where the player can attempt it themselves?

I see Episode 3 must have leaked.[/quote]
