Damn, he was a skinny kid, and he discovered that fatty high calorie sugar filled food combined with sitting on your ass all day makes you the size of a planet... something just about most gamers either have discovered or are currently discovering lol
It's Gabe Newell before he became a genious. Of course it has to do with gaming he's one of the heads in the industry. If he pooped it would be a pixelated turd in half life.
Have to agree with pixelsword. We don't need to know what Gabe Newell looked like as a teenager. This isn't one of those MSN sites that cover "what your favorite celebrities looked like in school."
What game does this have to do with? Is this article going to increase the likelihood of a new Valve game being announced or released? Does it talk about gameplay or development? No. So it's not about gaming at all.
Why so serious? This site is already filled with submission violations that are approved by friends while more legitimate submissions get denied. We get to hear people complaining about blogs, and obvious flamebait articles all the time, but when a 3 line "article" about what a current game developer looked like as a kid shows up it's "legitimate news?" Since when? Sorry, but this site is called NEWS4Gamers, not yearbookphotosforfangirls.
Seriously just let it go. You sound like one of those cliche butt hurt hall monitors from the movies that runs around the school crying about violation this regulation that blahblahblah.
Im aware of the problem youre talking about, but this isnt part of it. This isnt flame bait at all.
If you look at the tag "culture" under the article, I think you will see that this fits that description. There has to be almost 30 tags that an article can fall under, and they arent all related to news.
This. Besides, the nerds and geeks are the ones to make our technology better(: Jocks and preps, sure they may be "cool," but they ain't going anywhere after HS.
That's just about what I figured he would've looked like that back than. Maybe with a star trek uniform on though. Must've been laundry day. This pic screams fleshlight inventor also.
The funny thing is, regardless of his looks, this man proabably sleeps on a bed of 19-21 year old girls hotter than anything anyone here will ever even talk to.
he has well over 1.5 billion dollars in the bank
*(In December 2010, Forbes named Newell as "A Name You Should Know" mainly for his work on Steam having partnerships with multiple major developers.[9][10] In March 2012, Forbes estimated the net worth of Newell as $1.5 billion dollars, ranking 854th out of 1,226 global billionaires.[11])-wiki
1500
million!
he could take the shitty town you live in, buy it and burn it to the ground
and he made all that money doing something he loves.
now go back to the job you hate and make $20 an hour and think you're doing "ok"
I strongly doubt he's going to bed with a group of 19-21 yr olds...Strongly doubt that and even if he was by some grace of god able to hook that up, it's only because he paid for them.
Who cares what he looked like in High School? The only thing I can't help but wonder after seeing that picture is if he was an asshole loud mouth back then too thereby instigating copious amounts of atomic wedgies and swirlies.
Wow.. that's really Gabe Newell? Well I'm usually the last one to take stabs at people like this but I finally think the mystery of who ate all the pies is finally solved.
Some of the comments here really make life look bleak. I mean, I know that I am just an ant and Gabe makes more money in a day than I could make in 15 lifetimes, but do I really have to be reminded of it everywhere I go? Especially on a gaming news site.......
I guess working in Valve is very stressful...gotta have them donuts coming...
I'd tap that.
OmGz he had a mandible !!!
Ah, the forties...
Wow. He's barely recognizable.
