Hilarious
If anything Gabe has serious guts to admit it. He knows how popular he is, and how his fans would react, but he did it anyways. What a hero.
I bet someone bribed him a hat or money to watch the show.
Bah, he still makes the best games I've ever played. This doesn't bother me much.

[/quote] I shouldn't be a such big deal anyway, it's just a show, entertainment. It still baffles me how a show about cute technicolour ponies can generate so much hate.
[QUOTE=Psychopath12;35433537][B]One of the TF2 bot names is "Derpy Hooves" so it was pretty much guaranteed that at least one of the Valve staff watches the show.[/B] Pretty sure that Robin said he liked them too. I'm not surprised nor does this change my opinion of Gabe. But watching the fireworks in the comments section is worthy of me making some popcorn.[/QUOTE] I have never seen a bot named like that before... Why boxes
The show isn't the problem, it's the mass retarded audience it generated. The show is funny sure, but it's nothing special and is just a cartoon. It doesn't deserve a lot of the praise it gets.

Wow that's fucking hysterical. My mouth hurts from laughing, ow.

Also, annoying creepy obsessed fans are p. much a given when it comes to any kind of media.
[QUOTE=C0linSSX;35433620]Pretty sure that bot name was a hoax believe me, I tried to get it[/QUOTE] 16/16 and you get him.
His awesome beard and games make up for it. I'm okay with this.
Wonder what Dai is going to say about all this.
[QUOTE=Dr. Gestapo;35433650]Happens when you're a fan of something I guess, you try to make it seem way bigger than it really is, but in the end it's nothing special.[/QUOTE] There really is nothing special about it, or the fandom. What makes it different is all the people hating on them for whatever reason, and they reflexively defend it, which exacerbates the situation.
[QUOTE=Dr. Gestapo;35433650]Happens when you're a fan of something I guess, you try to make it seem way bigger than it really is, but in the end it's nothing special.[/QUOTE] Yeah, like Valve

[QUOTE=Skunky;35433608]I have never seen a bot named like that before...[/QUOTE] Hm, I remember seeing it as a string in tf_english.txt but it looks like it's no longer there, or I'm just forgetting where I found it. They might have patched it out between now and when I checked a year ago.
[QUOTE=Jackald;35433671]"GUYS HE WAS PROBABLY JOKING, IT'S NOT REAL, OUR LORD AND SAVIOR CAN'T BE ONE OF THOSE DIRTY SUBHUMANS!!!!! RIGHT?!?!" [B][I]who cares[/I][/B], it's not like the next valve game's gonna be smothered in pink ponies or anything.[/QUOTE] Well, apparantly a lot of people care as they are blasting this situation out of the water like it is the beginning of World war 3.
snip.
Dumb everyone with a pony avatar! That will make Gabe not a brony!
[quote=kill3r]Well, apparantly a lot of people care as they are blasting this situation out of the water like it is the beginning of World war 3. [/quote] Not really. Everybody seems civil around here. Unless you're talking about the Youtube comments, but that's just Youtube for you.
I love how everyone who has a neutral or positive opinion on the subject at hand or the show itself gets a dumb, as well as everyone who has a Pony avatar.
I personally dont care, hes awesome regardless. Besides, the question was "is there anything you secretly geek out about?", it might mean he keeps it to himself.
[QUOTE=DTkach;35433714]Dumb everyone with a pony avatar! That will make Gabe not a brony![/QUOTE] I agree
[QUOTE=Dr. Gestapo;35433720]Not really. Everybody seems civil around here. Unless you're talking about the Youtube comments, but that's just Youtube for you.[/QUOTE] Well, I just want it to stay civil. Lots of things went down the toilet here before.
Keeps it secret, doesn't shove it in everyone's face - I don't give a shit. He could be a furry or some crazed foot fetishist for all I care, so long as he doesn't infest our games with it.
[quote=Zadrave]Well, I just want it to stay civil. Lots of things went down the toilet here before. [/quote] That's because [I]those threads[/I] didn't have Gabe Newell in them, you silly
[QUOTE=~Myst;35433672]Wonder what Dai is going to say about all this.[/QUOTE] I'm just hoping he doesn't ban me for using an image macro. v:v:v
