A Newel is one of the best guys you can meet. He will often be sporting yellow sunglasses and a orange jumpsuit. He enjoys the pleasent experience of braiding his own large facial hair, and camping barefoot in the wilderness. He is one of the dopest guys you will ever meet, but don’t let him into the girls change room.
Fergalicious: WOW, there goes Newel again with his awesome glasses
Angelina Jolie: Dayyuuuum Newel back at it again with those AWESOME glasses
Taylor Swift: I knew you were trouble when you walked in

Gabe Newell descended from heaven releasing the steam sale.
by Complex Username February 27, 2018
Applies during a sale via the Steam digital distribution platform. Newell's Law states "If you buy a discounted game before the last day of a sale, it will have a more substantial discount the next day." It is named for Gabe Newell, the CEO of Valve Software.
Alternate definition applies during non-sale events, in which case the decision is made after waiting and evaluating a game's worth to purchase at full retail, then the game goes on sale the very next weekend.

Gamer 1: "I bought the Civ4 complete pack yesterday for 33% off thinking it was a great deal, but if I had just waited until today I could have bought it for 75% off!"
Gamer 2: "Newell's Law."

The co-founder and CEO of the video game studio known as Valve Software. Gabe serves as the unofficial face of Valve; the studio is widely associated with him and he is widely associated with the studio.
Valve are infamous for their long development cycles, with games that can be in development for as long as 9 years. Combined with frequent delays, these long development times have created the Valve time phenomenon.
Many in-jokes about these delays and long development times were formed. These jokes often make fun of the studio and Gabe himself, calling him lazy and mocking his weight. He is also pictured as a rather greedy man who wants to "keep Half Life 2 Episode 3 to himself" and commonly makes obscure excuses in order to delay it farther. One of the largest spin offs of this small meme is the nickname "Gaben".
Most users of these jokes are found in large Valve communities, such as the Team Fortress 2 community and the Half Life community.
