    He isn't being anonomous, he's leaving his full name...

    If Gabe wanted he could look up funbags and call him back, for that matter, now I could too...

    It is kindof stalking...

    Maby lay off calling for a while and just stick to mailing him gushy letters.

    1. Valve is based in Bellevue, approximatly 25 minutes + a ferry away from me.

    2. Gabe Newell's phone number is listed, and obviously lives in the surrounding area.

    So I got his number, and just called his house. This is how it went:

    (Sorry about the stuff after the phone call, I was so excited that I forgot to turn it off.)

    <a href='http://www.funbags.gulag.net/ROFL.wav' target='_blank'>www.funbags.gulag.net/ROFL.wav</a>

    EDIT: Here is the message I left on his machine.
    <a href='http://www.funbags.gulag.net/ROFL2.wav' target='_blank'>www.funbags.gulag.net/ROFL2.wav</a>

    I may of been shot down, but I will never forget the moment that I called Gabe Newell's house.


    GABE, YOU ARE MY GOD.

    And I will be calling you again, later.

    <.< <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    WTH was that? You just called there and you didn't reach him and just laughed two words and all... I don't get it. The first soundfile was just childish... You put off the phone and tappered your fingers or I don't know what you did and started typing like a crazy... I just don't get it. What is the damn point?

    It slike those 9 year old kids playing with the phone. They just call in various numbers and when somebody picks up, they just giggle and say something stupid...

    If you respect the man, then leave him alone.

    besides, you could do such a game also if you would own such company... So, he is not god.

    If I called Gabe, i'd ask him the one thing that has been on my mind since I saw his picture. Why he always looks exhausted.

    What are you going to do if he calls you back?

    I'm sure he has a Caller ID or whatever...


    He'll send his Valve minions to get you...rawr!

    And they'll use your brain as the new steam servar!

    funbags, it's a tad sad I've got to tell you this, but this is not cool, it's not original, it is a simple piece of (involuntary) harassment of a currently likely overburdened household. In other words, I don't think this is fit for these boards.
