Pretty much sums up Gabe Newell in a nutshell:
That said, I am just playing devil's advocate here. I could care less about someone who cares less about themselves. He is not only fat, but doesn't seem to care about most other aspects of hygiene. Most every picture of him is usually him covered in freaking stains and other such markings (the full pic at his article, seen on Kotaku, shows some kind of stain on his shirt - either that or a huge sweat stain coming from his belly. He is gross. As someone said, I am no spring chicken either, but at least I try not to be repulsive (clean clothes and a freaking shower at least, COME ON!) when I go out in public or go to work. Imagine how his co-workers must feel?
