Get the Gabe Newell mug.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.

A girl I met about 4 years ago on a marching band field and started talking and love was found. She would look at me and I would look at her but we never ended up truly talking. One day we finally decided to tell each other we loved each other and we've been in a relationship for a year now and here is what I've learned. She's the most gorgeous woman to ever walk this earth and is my queen. She has the biggest hear of anyone ive ever met in my life. Her smile and laugh is contagious and truly deserves the world. I love you forever Riley Paige Newell, it's just the start of something great. Happy 1 year.

Get the Gabe Newell mug.Possibly the most astoundingly shit director who ever lived. He has crucified such shit films as Harry Potter The Goblet of Fire, Mona Lisa Smile and Pushing Tin, not as if the last two films were going to be good anyway. He completely hashed GoF, and i have no doubt he will continue to take a steaming shit on good scripts in the future as long as he breathes the air to which he is unworthy.
Person 1: Oh look, Mike Newell! Hey, i've got something for you.
Mike: Hello there! Yes, of course i'll accept your present, but what is it?
Person 1: It's a baton so you can sodomize yourself after you've raped yet another shit film and screwed the public out of their money.
