Well that's settled. I want to buy shares in Valve. Anyone know how to go about this?

They're not a public company
Wow that's a real bummer :/
It's basically free money if you could. Maybe one day they will open it up or something. Doubtful though.
Who cares if he is a fan of the show, I'd care if he was basing ep3 around mlp or putting mlp trash in steam news..[u]because it doesn't belong there.[/u]
I doubt Gabe masturbates to ponies so I'm okay with this.
I wonder how many other things he does aren't common knowledge.

I can put text on images so it gets noticed too

No fucking way...
To be honest I see more people bitching about MLP fans than MLP fans.
Like in LMAO pics. 1 pic, easily scrollable, 3 pages of bickering.
Gabe's cool.
As long as he won't shove ponies down peoples throat, for example placing pony shit in games, I don't really care.
[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;35437516]I think less of him.[/QUOTE]
Like his weight....oh shit, I got banned from steam.
vodka and latin please stop with the images
it's redundant nomatter how you attack complaining about complaining, though the original image makes a lot of points that people stupidly trip over when complaining in the first place.
Well, I sure did lose a lot of respect for him :(
Quite surprising, but Gabe is an awesome guy.
[QUOTE=AceOfDivine;35437373]I don't get this brony fad. It was intended for little girls and yet most of the fanbase is either neckbeard teens or creepy older men.
I just don't get it.[/QUOTE]
I think it's also something to do with the person who created it (She created a few other things which were popular) and that it was created as something that Adults and older people could watch and not feel uncomfortable with.
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;35438300]Just one last thing to say before I abandone this thread. I don't intend to change anyones mind. How often do you see people on the internet say "Hey, maybe I'm wrong and I'll think of this in a different light." Never. On facepunch people are bombarded with boxes. Discussions on the internet are a lot like politics. It stops being a means to an end and turns into contest, usually a popularity contest. In this case I've got a number of people who are convinced that what people do in their privacy is the most impotant and defining element of their character.[/QUOTE]
What you do in your private time IS the MOST important and defining part of your character. Like if I decided to stalk people at night all the time, but when I go to work and around family I am perfect. Other wise I am actually quite speechless of Gabe liking this show. But that is why I am typing.
Last person I would've expected to have liked it. It's slightly unfortunate (to me anyway), but I still love the motherfucker for what he's done over the years, and because he's a chill dude.
The only "bronies" I find annoying are the guys that push it in everybody's face. It's terrible. Gabe didn't mention till he was asked, and only very briefly. I don't care what people watch, but if they're shoving it in peoples' faces, I damn well will.

It's like someone combined Pulp Fiction and The Critic.

Why do the Bronies and Facepunchers have to hate each other?
I mean, I'm not a Brony, but I see no problem in a person taking interest in a TV show which isn't necessarily designed for them. All this arguing is immature and silly, each side taking a jab at each other. Why can't we all just accept that we have differing opinions, and leave it at that.
All I want is for everyone to get along. Why can't that happen?
I don't mind the fact that Gabe is a Brony. I mean, good for him, he found something which he enjoys! Can we not turn this thread into a hatefest though?
I do not hate MLP watchers. They can watch it, idgaf.
But when they come spamming OBEY US AND COME WATCH THIS STUFF and post their porn/reaction images with MLP charaters, I start hating them. Unless it is in an sarcastic thread / their own show thread.
So aslong as they do not disturb me (Or affect me in some way (Like snatching my fav. thread)) then I am fine with it.
Word 'brony' is plain downs retarded shit.

can someone
like
find me a post where this happened outside of an mlp-related thread, and it isn't trolling/a new doof to the scene
because I've only seen it happen twice, one of which was saddasta posting about finding out about a character reference to dr who in a dr who thread, which he was banned for
My god...WHY !?
I don't give a single fuck about what the man does in his free time.
Can't say i'm not disappointed, but so long as it doesn't affect the development of quality games, it doesn't have as much clout as I would expect. Still disappointed in Gabe though, pity he's become somewhat indoctrinated by those things.
It's a shame, this is the only time since '98 I have ever truely lost some of my faith and respect for Gabe.

I was not talking only about FP really.
reddit and 4chan get it sometimes.

ahahahaha
This is a joke right.
I don't see any problem with that. As long as MLP isn't rotting his brain, he's still going to produce great games.

ITT: Stalking people every night = watching a 22 minute cartoon show every now and again.

Ah thanks. I didn't know I was making that comparison, but now I know. I'll try to be more concerning so I don't offend stalkers.
