My Social Media :

7:10 When Gabe realized his new pen technique.

[King-tymz]

I can watch gabe spin that pen all day

[SleepyJoe-vc]

8:40 I've never heard Gabe swear in my life.

[TareoO]

"you have to do what customers want"
meanwhile, nobody seems to be working on hl³

[BulletBillSoilder]

Gabe is spinning the pen like the spy....GABE NEWELL IS ACTUALLY THE SCOUTS DAD

[omnimaeve]

I like how most of the comments are more interested on how Gabe spins the pen, rather than Gabe and Erik's in-depth answers.
But, I would be lying to myself if I didn't enjoyed it, so.

[Rekuiem]

Gabe's philosophy on time as a scarcity is incredibly well thought out and managed. Kudos to him for that.

[alpine]

Holy fuck, i never realized how... human Gabe is

Love how unprofessional, laid back and yet, relevant this whole interview is. You've outdone yourself VVN.
This is what IGN and other media outlets fail to do: a solid, interesting interview with relevant topics without over-simplifying issues in order to get attention.
Fucking congratulations, i'm proud to support this channel.

Weird to hear gabe drop the f bomb lmao

[scxrcho]

"Pinkie Pie is best pony."
That is a thing that has legitimately came out of Gabe Newell's mouth.

[hiddejager]

Why didn't you ask anything about Episode 3 and/or HL3? This was the one chance...

[acdcpeon]

Gabe if you are reading this, I love you and also can I have a job at Valve? i know absolutely nothing about game design, and can offer nothing to your company. But I promise to at least show up everyday.
