*Valve laughs in Gabe Newell, owner of Valve and former employee of Microsoft.

Motherfucker left Microsoft to focus on games. He spearheaded the move to Linux to protect their store from becoming blocked on Windows. He knows how Microsoft works, intimately.

I’d be really surprised if Valve got sold to Microsoft while Newell still lives.

We must protect this man at all costs.

Unfortunately, we can't protect him from weight related heart issues :/

Fat jokes aren't funny.

Except this one, and only because we've all been there.

He's 60 years old. He'll probably be around in good health for another 10 years.

I sure hope so. But at his weight, people can start having heart problems fairly early. Then again it seems he's lost some in recent years, so maybe he'll get to see old age.

Surely you mean while he's "Still Alive", right?

This was s Triumph

Also GLaDOS: "Managing to misspell a word that is only a single letter definitely is some kind of triumph."
