    Rosie o'donnel?

  2. Alpar on May 15th, 2010 8:42 pm

    All that came to mind was: Heavy Weapons Guy -- The Early Years.

  3. SnovB X on May 15th, 2010 4:54 pm

    So that's how it's like to run a company, huh?

  4. Coodoo on May 15th, 2010 9:01 pm

    GOD! HE'S SO FAT!

  5. Link4all on May 15th, 2010 9:09 pm

    So he's the douchebag who always brings a gun to a knife fight.

  6. spaghettiweegee on May 15th, 2010 9:18 pm

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

    …I don't get it…

  7. Plaza on May 15th, 2010 9:23 pm

    He is like the Chuck Norris of game industry!

  8. Hakokoro on May 15th, 2010 9:28 pm

    <insert fat joke that is amazing here>

    <insert a TF2 related joke that would give me +1 here>

  9. Terpsichore on May 15th, 2010 9:30 pm

    His fat gives him power. Every kill adds a kilo, and every kilo gives him more HP. People say Stam stacking is for noobs, but he is jiggling proof that fat makes a powerful nerd

  10. Alpar on May 15th, 2010 9:32 pm

    Except there's a guy already taking that position. And that is Chuck Norris.

  11. FoxyMayo on May 15th, 2010 9:50 pm

    And yet, the Engie update STILL isn't out yet.

  12. TUNGST3N on May 15th, 2010 9:54 pm

    Wait I thought Gabe was more of a knife guy than a gun guy?

  13. Plaza on May 15th, 2010 10:00 pm

    And that's why I said "like" :3
    Anyways, I tend to think that Chuck Norris is not Chuck Norris in game creation… *waiting to get roundhouse kicked*

  14. Plaza on May 15th, 2010 10:01 pm

    This is because Gabe is filled with AWESOMNESS!

  15. Sir Xandus on May 15th, 2010 10:02 pm

    Everytime you make a fat joke about Gabe Newell, he forwards the release date of Episode 2 by a week.

    Just throwing that out there.

  16. Plaza on May 15th, 2010 10:11 pm

    Episode 3 maybe?

  17. AuraMaster on May 15th, 2010 10:20 pm

    I thought he was filled with precious goo?

  18. AuraMaster on May 15th, 2010 10:21 pm

    The lesson? NEVER fuck with fat people.

  19. Jacotify on May 15th, 2010 10:25 pm

    All in a day's work.

  20. Sir Xandus on May 15th, 2010 10:31 pm

    Yeah, that's what I meant. Fucking typos.

  21. Leo058 on May 15th, 2010 10:38 pm

    Lazy way out.

  22. By-Tor on May 15th, 2010 10:38 pm

    F**king Typos! How do they work!?

  23. Leo058 on May 15th, 2010 10:41 pm

    0:56
    I think this is fake. If there's one thing I learned from Dead or Alive, it's that cute ninja girls are invincible, and don't even need a weapon to kick your ass.

  24. Leo058 on May 15th, 2010 10:43 pm

    That bastard, always ruining my fun.

  25. BlueChameleon on May 15th, 2010 10:45 pm

    Strangely, his favourite class is the spy.

  26. BlueChameleon on May 15th, 2010 10:46 pm

    No Wolf fans, it's not who you think!

  27. Leo058 on May 15th, 2010 7:10 pm

    -1 troll. I can get everyone else's comments, but someone needs to fix mine.

  28. Sir Xandus on May 15th, 2010 11:46 pm

    Hey, he's got to kill those rival game developers first.

  29. AuraMaster on May 15th, 2010 11:53 pm

    Nope. THIS is who we're talking about.

  30. AuraMaster on May 15th, 2010 11:59 pm

    What came to my mind: Pre-infection Boomer.

  31. TheTopHatKid on May 16th, 2010 12:27 am

    Don't worry, you're safe until you stop waiting for it. He usually attacks when you least expect it. So if you keep waiting, you should live until you stop expe- OH GOD MY BLOOD! HE- HE KICKED OUT ALL MY BLOOD!

  32. Gamage on May 16th, 2010 1:50 am

    All I see when I watch this is Shawn running around with a courage kratos gun killing the citizens of Halolz. Why Shawn? WHY!?

  33. Roflcopter419 on May 16th, 2010 2:01 am

    Why is it that saying </insert joke> gets so many +1s these days? It's weird.

  34. Link4all on May 16th, 2010 3:08 am

    Fixed

  35. Judgment on May 16th, 2010 3:19 am

    Santa after dealing with too many greedy people?

  36. Judgment on May 16th, 2010 3:20 am

    So this is why he dropped out of Harvard
    good choice imo

  37. AuraMaster on May 16th, 2010 3:25 am

    As well as a hard day's night.

  38. AuraMaster on May 16th, 2010 3:28 am

    Nah, he found an easier way of dealing with them.

  39. EphEphEcksIII on May 16th, 2010 3:30 am

    Plus they're using katanas, everyone knows that a katana in a ninjas hand can cut bullets in half.

  40. Daifuku on May 15th, 2010 11:39 pm

    Gabe Newall knows where you sleep Shigeru Miamoto…he's coming for you next.

  41. Hareoic on May 16th, 2010 4:46 am

    So Jack Thompson was right about video game violence after all.

    Just not in the way he expected.

  42. Hakokoro on May 16th, 2010 5:32 am

    Hey not even i know.I tought i would just receibe one or two +1

    Guess the hokes they inserted there are really funny!

    I wish i could share these +1 with every single one of you…but i dont want,they are mine

  43. dimomarg on May 16th, 2010 5:37 am

    so, the half life series is loosely* based on Gabe's life?

    *too losely**
    **WAY TO LOOSELY***
    ***not at all

  44. Kirby_Emprer on May 16th, 2010 6:17 am
  45. AuraMaster on May 16th, 2010 6:47 am

    You call that breaking my spine? You, Chuck Norris, wouldn't know how to break a spine if--OH, MY SPINE!!

  46. Warlord Senax on May 16th, 2010 7:54 am

    That meme was funny. For the first five times it was used.
    Now it's just fail.

  47. Warlord Senax on May 16th, 2010 7:54 am

    Hard as in HARD, hint hint wink wink INTERCOURSE.

  48. Darkangelsv1 on May 16th, 2010 7:55 am

    Meanwhile at Valve…

  49. Warlord Senax on May 16th, 2010 3:57 am

    |somewhere in Nevada|
    Gabe Newell: Finally, Miyamoto! You thought you were sly, but you slipped up too many times. You shouldn't have crossed me. And now you will pay for it.

    Miyamoto: No…please, n-
    (interrupted by heavy electrocution)
    |STAY TUNED FOR GABE NEWELL: REVENGE IS A DISH BEST SERVED WITH SALAD|

  50. A_R_ on May 16th, 2010 9:33 am

    "Intercourse" and "Gabe Newell" don't get along…
    *applies mind bleach*

  51. A_R_ on May 16th, 2010 9:34 am

    Fries with that?

  52. A_R_ on May 16th, 2010 9:35 am

    Because he never really was on our side?

  53. A_R_ on May 16th, 2010 9:37 am

    Heavy: SO MUCH FAT!

  54. Plaza on May 16th, 2010 10:28 am

    You call that killing me? I am not dead!
    *Cracking noise*
    Now I am ordering you to kill me! Please please please, God, Kill me!

  55. Fhantinabox on May 16th, 2010 10:38 am

    Great, I just had to read that and have my vivid imagination take it over…

    If anyone wants some nightmare fuel, I'm making it at this very moment… Sponsored by A_R_…

  56. Leo058 on May 16th, 2010 11:51 am

    And that made me think of Final Fantasy IV: The After Years.

    Which brings to my mind.. what's the average lifespan of a Heavy? Twelve seconds? That's a shit job.

  57. Alpar on May 16th, 2010 12:08 pm

    But Heavy is the richest man alive, so he can spend as many 400,000 he wants. How do you think he always gets a reloaded Sasha for every respawn?

  58. Alpar on May 16th, 2010 12:09 pm

    I halp'd.

  59. Alpar on May 16th, 2010 12:09 pm

    Scout: Hey lardfat, next time, eat a salad!

  60. Leo058 on May 16th, 2010 1:01 pm

    'Cause it's a different heavy.

  61. A_R_ on May 16th, 2010 1:22 pm

    My work here is done.

  62. A_R_ on May 16th, 2010 1:23 pm

    Pancakes, dumbass!

  63. A_R_ on May 16th, 2010 9:25 am

    You have been Shawn who is the boss.

  64. A_R_ on May 16th, 2010 1:26 pm

    I'M COMING FOR YOU! KEEP CRYING BABY!

  65. Miketuu on May 16th, 2010 1:28 pm

    Ahem, that is a diet I call, DEATH

    He's filled with CHOCOLATE!!!

  68. Leo058 on May 16th, 2010 11:07 am

    Then should we change your name to Halpar?

    BA-DUM-TSH!

  69. jayc4life on May 16th, 2010 3:21 pm

    Take off the glasses for instant Bobby Kotick Mode.

  70. Warlord Senax on May 16th, 2010 4:43 pm

    Sponsored by A_R_, sold by Billy Mays, and made by OH GOD UNTOONED KIRBY!
    OH GOD LESBIAN MUDKIPS!
    OH GOD UNTOONED MARIO!

  71. Some guy on May 16th, 2010 1:04 pm

    This is all from Saints Row II for those that wanna know.

  72. Alpar on May 16th, 2010 6:34 pm

    But I thought when TF2 classes die, they get glued back together in Hell?

  73. Alpar on May 16th, 2010 6:34 pm

    OH U!

  74. Leo058 on May 16th, 2010 7:48 pm

    Only if they're gibbed by a good Demoman.

  75. A_R_ on May 16th, 2010 8:28 pm

    Lesbians mudkips are okay.
    But what about…

    UNTOONED MARIO making out with UNTOONED KIRBY?

  76. Leo058 on May 16th, 2010 8:57 pm

    "This is our city… we can do whatever the fuck we want."

    I assume he went on to say:

    "…Let's make a gaming company."

  77. Alpar on May 16th, 2010 11:16 pm

    But he's so OP there's no such thing as a bad Demoman.

  78. Someguy5031 on May 16th, 2010 11:34 pm

    i'd assume it'd be the HEAVY dohohohoho

  79. Someguy5031 on May 16th, 2010 11:35 pm

    @1:06 you can see him taking out a Sony executive

  80. Leo058 on May 17th, 2010 1:09 am

    No, there are bad Demomen. They just aren't standing here talking to you.

  81. Leo058 on May 17th, 2010 1:09 am

    He needs to remind us of his dominance every now and then.

  82. Gamage on May 17th, 2010 1:31 am

    When shawn puts up a courage kratos, all arguments are invalid forever. Its like a yu-gi-oh card :P

  83. Juggernaut470 on May 16th, 2010 9:55 pm

    :O

  84. dimomarg on May 17th, 2010 10:30 am

    …unless you are Gabe.

  85. Fhantinabox on May 17th, 2010 10:51 am

    …I think you scared my nightmares away….

  86. A_R_ on May 17th, 2010 3:25 pm

    Another satisfied customer.

  87. Fhantinabox on May 17th, 2010 4:34 pm

    Actually, I want the remaining sanity I had left back…

  88. A_R_ on May 17th, 2010 4:47 pm

    I'm sorry, i have a "no returns" policy.

  89. dimomarg on May 17th, 2010 6:58 pm

    If making a fat joke about Gabe did not postpone the release of Ep 3, I'd say something about Gaby being heavier than a whale or something. Wait, I just did.
    FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

    Gabe is made of a rubber like serum called weight.

  94. KiruBananers on May 18th, 2010 12:52 am

    UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

  95. KiruBananers on May 18th, 2010 12:54 am
