    He's got the beard, and now he's growing the hair out long again, by the looks of it. Once he gets a little more length on the beard, he'll be in business. WIZARD BUSINESS.

    He's a Linux guy, so the real question is why he hasn't been sporting this look, the look of his people, all along.

    I can't hear you, Gabe. You need to speak louder. Turn off your radio, please, sir.

    Gaben just has fast growing hair. I would think guys at his age would embrace that.

    He's turned full spiritual xen guru. I mean, using Linux is equivalent to asceticism.

    Usher elementary spelled Steam wrong. That made me laugh.

    Anyway, ya Gabe's getting old and tired. I guess that makes him a wizard, sure. Old age makes wizards of us all.

    No, he's going full mountain man. Soon all the steam servers will be based in a log cabin up in the mountains, and it will be maintained by only gabe and his collection of hunting knives; him sharpening them every day in preparation for attackers.

    So, in other words, steam will be safer than it ever has been.

    I cannot decide whether that was intentional or not.

    No, with all those knives, he'd be a thief or a rogue.

    @turtlebird95: Yes and if you look at his name, Newell, with half of the letters left over and you could say with this video he is helping the youth and embracing life.

    So New Half Life, pretty obvious.

    I actually listened to that, I love how his tired demeanor matches well with how he doesn't give typical bullshit answers and plays it as straight as possible like saying how he learned a whole lot more out in the field in 3 months than he did at Harvard other than learning how to drink while doing a head stand which I love that he just said that nonchalantly.

    Neat video. Some interesting stuff was said. I wish I got to hear stuff like this when I was in Elementary school.

    And I, too, love Stem.

    Yes and by the look of his beard he's halfway through.
