Gabe Newell, also known as Gaben is an evil plushophile and a porcine abomination that rules over anything under the Valve shadow. He's infamous for crushing dreams and destroying hope, known for his never ending hunger and lack of morals, ruling over an evil empire solely based upon greed and deceit.

History

Gabe was thrown out of University for eating his roommates. From there he went to work at Micro$oft, scoring millions of dollars and then ditching the company years later to create vidya gæms.

Gabe soon thought up Half-Life, where the protagonist was opposite to him in every way (thin, good looking, quiet, etc). Half-Life took over 2 years to make due to both Gabe revising his Valve Time technique and being unable to render maps that weren't snack rooms or McDonald's.

After almost making himself bankrupt, Gabe released Half-Life and got rich again. He used the money to develop Steam, attracting 13 year old boys all over the globe. He also found groups of suckers who created games such as Counter-Strike, Ricochet and Day of Defeat, employing them and making money off of their work. CAPITALISM, HO!

Gabe then made Half-Life 2, 6 years after its prequel. He and his company now stick to updating the same old games to use newer engines rather than working on making new games, which explains why the Half-Life 2 episodes took so fucking long to arrive and why one of them doesn't exist yet (Spoiler: it never will because the project was cancelled).

To this day Valve Time is proven to be successful since Gabe has been using it on Episode Three since it was supposed to come out in 2005. Valve's fanboys continue to defend the title, proving that Valve Time helps to keep fans attached to the games. Gabe has also distracted his fans with releases such as Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Portal and a bunch of other titles.

Today, Gabe still runs Valve and continues to delay ~~Episode Three~~ Half Life 3. Calling Gabe fat via the Steam Community extends the delay by a month.

The Gabeard

During an interview with Penny Arcade, it was revealed that Gaben had grown a beard that made him look closer and closer to a walrus. Steam fanboys immediately jumped out and tried to call it a sign of Episode Three, simultaneously cumming themselves in blood pressure-raising panic. Meanwhile, the rest of the world just views him as finally becoming lazy enough to eat instead of shaving.

God help us all, he's finally sent /v/ into a full-on Kristallnacht.

gabe reddit AMA

Last Thursday gaben did a reddit AMA (archive), and like anything on reddit all the serious questions got downvoted to oblivion and the first 500 most upvoted comments were pun trains and things along the lines of "where's half life 3" and "will you sign my trilby/fedora?"

Emails sent to Gabe

Gabe sometimes responds to emails sent to his corporate address no matter how lulzy they may be.

Gabe is subtlety trolled
Gabe on being a smartass

/v/'s visit to Gabe

Around August 2010, /v/, in their wholehearted love for Gabe, sent Gabe an email with an image containing hundreds of signatures from /v/ users. Gabe responded the next day inviting /v/ to the offices of Valve. Whether /v/ will go or not is unknown since their charter buses are likely to break down under the weight of so many /v/irgins.

/v/ plans to visit Gabe sometime later in 2010 (~~considering they don't forget to go~~; lol oops). Their strict set of rules mean there will be no underageb&, furries or girlfriends. This makes shit easier (no responsibly of retarded kids, no furry pride crap and no repetitive whining about how everyone in the bus stinks of manchild sweat).
