Gabe Newell does not play DF!
« on: October 09, 2011, 04:28:44 pm »

I was lucky today, I was playing Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad and a FB appeared: Gabe Newell.
I asked him if he ever played dwarf fortress and he said no.
I suggest we start a a campaing on any social network. :P

Discuss.

Gabe Newell's a Forgotten Beast?

This is Gabe Newell, a vast humanoid. He undulates rhythmically. Beware his deadly release schedule!

Ah. So clearly we need to compose an email to Gaben and ask him if he does, in fact, play DF.

You probably shouldn't. He'll look at the length of time between DF40d and DF2010 and take it as a challenge.

I would really be interested in finding out if he really does play DF.

Maybe he knows of DF, and is currently holding Episode Three because of this.

He's just been playing a 8x8 embark at 10 FPS for the last 6 years.

So DF is the reason Steam sometimes seems to not work? Any time Gabe activates the magmapumpstack, Steam starts lagging.

LOL, on my current world he must have started the obsidian rain project.
