When you are the public face of your company rather than a faceless anonymous investor and owner of a holding and parent company most people don't even know that exists, you are better off acting sympathetic to your customers, even while you treat them like bitches beyond their limited perception.

I would invite people into my place, and nail a plaque above my office's door. "Those who wish to enter, must surrender their most precious thing". Next to the door is a hole conveniently at waist height, with sidehandles for comfort as they seat into position. I press a button to open the door once I'm done. That would ensure everyone who tried to make a deal with me would enter the room in the right state of mind.

You want a bunch of random dudes sucking your dick?

I thought Clockwork was going to be the one doing the sucking, since he said the hole was conveniently at waist height and seemed to be talking about from the perspective of someone coming to visit him.

The whole thing's pretty confusing but I'm pretty sure dicks are involved somewhere.

For the insolence, I'm scheduling you both for a visit as soon as I'm finished moving furniture into the office. Failure to comply will result in the most expensive lithuanian hitmen money can buy being dispatched to your houses.

- Gabe said that developing processes for the console in general was 'a waste of everybody's time' and 'a disaster on many levels'

It is and he is right; I have been saying that for a long time: Modern consoles only exist because their creators heavily subsidised the market, especially in the beginning and especially Microsoft. In fact Microsoft paved the way by re-using the same business tactics they used to push Windows into it's position pack in the 90s. Microsoft bought up complete development studios and had them churning out 'exclusive titles' that were unheard of on consoles (shooters? on a console? you must be joking!) while injecting their usual FUD into the gaming industry/journalism, who gobbled it up like the receptive little bitches they are (obviously launching it with some financial streams). Am I really the only one who back in 2000 opened their prestigious gaming magazine of their choice and went completely "WTF? where did this come from?" about literally "consoles taking over the world"? Followed by a large scale destruction and degradation of standards within the industry. Microsoft at work, ladies and gentlemen. We call it destruction and mayhem, for them it is just business as usual.

Yeah, I've said before that consoles went from having their own gaming traditions to being harbringers of decline only with the arrival of the Xbox.

In 2006, scientists at CERN used Gabe Newell to prove that gravitational waves travel at the speed of light.

So, you guys remember how Steam was forced into existence? CS 1.6. That's one example of how a pc game worth modding can leverage your business.

The funny thing is that he's the typical overwight nerd who you would expect to live at home in his moms basement... but instead he made millions and can afford all the women who would laugh at him otherwise. He is, or should, be every nerds hero, aspiration and idol.

Really shows how women are materialistic and disgusting. A man would never subject himself to that.

A man will instead put up with just as much shit for a physically attractive woman.
