Video Conference with Gabe Newell

[toSTONEiGO]

gabe is smart.

[MrGamaGrib]

Гейб Ньювел гений .. в прямом смысле слова .....

[tonihomi]

GOOOOOD I wish I could talk with GabeN

[jiminy82]

39:38....... Who dealt it? I bet it stunk.

[SonnoMaku]

If we talked to Gabe at my high school I think I would sit there with my mouth wide open and in disbelief.

[TheSpeculatoria]

Gabe, you made me rich! Just kidding but its great inspiration to get out there and do what you like and I like to create games.

[xXXrayzerXXx]

gotta love gaben

[TheQSwitcher]

Damn school announcements! Don't interrupt the Gaben!

[sk8erfreak9242]

if i were there i would ask him why they made portal 2 instead of what people wanted which was half life 2 ep 3 or hl3

[16mes]

"Uh."

[TheEnixSquared]

Go Packers. And damn you guys are so lucky to meet Gaben.

[deathbyplutonium]

hey i thought mario sunshine was great!

[str4jo]

I love you Gabe, you magnificent bastard <3

I wish gabe can come to me or I can go to valve on a fieldtrip with my classmates because no one knows him.Also I can ask him for free things:D loljk.

[omnibelmont]

God damn announcements.

[codymsgirl]

i was in rogers class for careers

[Sam07micro]

The Final Hours of Portal 2 brought me here. Great video.

[VercittiGangBoy]

@Sam07micro I'll be honest with you, I didn't even know that this was in that book! lol

[MrHallasista]

long video but worth the weght

[blackandwhitepro34]

LUCKY! If i knew gabe newell, The only thing he'd remember me saying is Gabe Your My Hero. I wish i was in that highschool.

[djamac360]

@VercittiGangBoy The cool thing about Gabe and his company, they actually care and have a passion about what they do, its not all about the Dollar signs. My Best friend emailed him while him after he heard Gabe in the game cometary on HL2:e2 saying to email him about any questions. Well while he was in Afghanistan his platoon would play L4D and he filmed about 10 or so solders playing L4D and thanked Gabe for the gaming experience they where able to have. He wrote back and gave him 7 keys 4 L4D2

[djamac360]

My Question: Can you get EA so swallow their pride and get them to realize that they cant create a new Steam, and get Battlefield 3 on Steam!

[VercittiGangBoy]

@djamac360 I think Gabe already released a statement about that to EA, pretty much saying what you just said

[JohnWill73]

Ur so lucky man... I wish I could meet Gabe Newel

[SladeForelly]

this man is as awesome as he is fat.

[Tiqure]

SUPER MARIO GALAXY WAS AWESOME!

[KarlSalameh]

Why does he keep looking at his iPad? Seems rude, seems like he's ignoring them.

[MineIts]

@KarlSalameh He's very busy or it has to do about something with them. But probably number one.

[coz752]

@KarlSalameh he puts it away after just a few minutes... I believe reading / hearing somewhere in the interview it was recorded on the day portal 2 was shipped if you want some perspective on why he would be busy with stuff ;)

[Kaizu823]

This... is actually very interesting.

[IanEduardoMeneses]

They would have asked:

"When are you releasing Episode 3?"

[VercittiGangBoy]

@IanEduardoMeneses I honestly don't know why people keep bringing this up. I didn't ask when they were releasing Episode 3 for two reasons: 1) It's a Sports/Entertainment MARKETING class, Game Release dates have nothing to do with marketing. 2) Gabe would have either not gave an answer, or he would have just hung up the video call, and we would have never found out anything else about what we asked.

[Akatzuki004]

wonder no one said:"Gabe god damn it release episode 3!" :D

[UncleBcuk]

Is it wrong that I put my hand up at every point GabeN asked a question?

[DeathBlade182]

Kinda rare to see a class like this in High School rather than College.

[theryaner]

LUCKIEST HIGH SCHOOL CLASS EVER!!!!!!!!

[VercittiGangBoy]

@theryaner More like Best High School Class ever

[Xelig00n]

I'm jelly

Excellent video.

[albusfr]

I love valve

[LukeoXx]

I wanna hear what he thinks about Black Mesa Source!

[SplinterAFG]

The fact that nobody yelled "HOLY SHIT! IT'S GAVE NEWELL!" when the conference started makes me sad.

On the other hand i bet nobody want's to talk to a room full of squealing fanboys/girls.

[yankeeken]

Did I miss hear the announcements in the background of the video or did they say tomorrow is hat day? If so lolz. How appropriate.

[VercittiGangBoy]

@yankeeken Yes, tomorrow is hat day. I never thought about it until recently...

[augburto]

This was super informative and I'm not even in marketing haha.

[torin1001]

so lucky

[sniper0diper]

My name's Gabe too

[supersneaky113]

OMFG IT WAS SHOT ON MY BIRTHDAY :D

[kovacic25]

No one asked, are you working on episode 3?

[frankixbox]

Why the hell does my school not offer anything like this some kids are so lucky and dont even know it

[left4deadpwner20]

@frankixbox i would friking screech like a school girl if i was in that room those kids didnt even know who he was. What a shame.

[raeyon]

I would have immediately asked him about Half Life just to piss him off.

[eljugadorloco]

GA

[Nap712]

I think it's weird how he begins every answer with "So...."

[omarsalem91]

@Nap712 You're saying that the most interesting thing you could get out of a 40 minute interview with the CEO of one the most successful entertainment companies in the world was how he begins his answers with so? That's just great.

[Nap712]

@omarsalem91 So.... you're saying the most interesting comment you could leave about a 40 minute interview with the CEO of one the most successful entertainment companies in the world was about how another person found it interesting that he begins his answers with so? That's just great. No, that's what I felt like commenting about. This video didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know and reminds me why I hate school and all the idiots in my classes

[mariofana]

>Super Mario Sunshine

>Bad

As much as I love Gaben, I gotta disagree. Maybe that because I'm wearing the nostalgia gogles

[Nap712]

@mariofana I loved Sunshine.. Galaxy was ehhhhh, didn't feel like a Mario game for me.. and I got like 2 hours into Mario Galaxy 2 and stopped

[woojaekeem]

this guy is a fucking genius

[tom1161]

I bet half the people in there didnt even know who he was. They dont realise they are talking to someone worth $400 million who owns a company worth billions.

[combinownage]

Kickboxing is cancelled?

:(

[gtamikesvideos]

Half Life 2 Deathmatch is great :)

[Budogenkai]

CHILI CHEESE WRAP?!

GABEN GO

[TOARajin]

Questions

[wombo194]

[benji0css]

[micrill50]

[SkyussValley7]

"And Tommorow is Hat Day"

[ExistenceAmusement]

@SkyussValley7 illuminati

[Budogenkai]

@SkyussValley7 I love you

[YetiSandvichVideos]

I want an interview with him in my class... @.@ Nobody out of my class knows Half-Life2, Valve, or Gabe Newell. They're all COD fags. ;_;

[VercittiGangBoy]

@YetiSandvichVideos Welcome to my class. There were only a few people in there that knew about Gabe Newell, which is why everyone isnt going crazy at the sight of him (My heart was racing)

[YetiSandvichVideos]

@VercittiGangBoy Yeah exactly. I'd go crazy if I met him, or even talked to him. I want to work at valve in a few years. :>

[utubepoopable]

@VercittiGangBoy thats more than i can say about my class

[RetardedWa1rus]

@YetiSandvichVideos lol sounds like most of my class.

[benmurder]

@YetiSandvichVideos One Xbox fankid in my class said HL2 was outdated -_-.

[YetiSandvichVideos]

@benmurder "Outdated"? Roflmao. Thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard!

[MacUser135]

@YetiSandvichVideos We share the problem of COD fag classmates.

[YetiSandvichVideos]

@MacUser135 I approve. We need more VALVe supporters on highschools.

[MacUser135]

@YetiSandvichVideos I have only 1 classmate who has heard anything of VALVe, and only because he played Portal 2 on PS3

[530012838]

@YetiSandvichVideos Mine are blackops fags. And facebook.

[williamday247]

@YetiSandvichVideos

I know that feel bro

[KeshnerfFilms]

@YetiSandvichVideos Oh God dude... I'm starting a game design course soon and you just got me scared that I'll be working with console-loving CoD Throbbing fanboys who have no idea what they are doing. D:

[SpartanElite095]

What was he responding to when he said "Say again?"

[VercittiGangBoy]

@SpartanElite095 I think he thought he saw one of us ask a question

[guyboy625]

@SpartanElite095 *mumble* "Gabe, you're fat."

[TheRetroZombie]

Ask him about Ep 3 trolololol... *Ep 3 delayed +1*

[UtubeH8tr]

lucky...just too lucky...

[intothevolcano]

Transcribe audio at 34:19 "Hearing death row how can you explain marriage."

[tonihomi]

And 1:55...shame you!

[tonihomi]

1:45 shame!

[ENDORPHINSAM]

If I was in that class I would have yelled at the top of my lungs

"WHERE THE FUCK IS HALF-LIFE 2 EPISODE 3!?"

[TheGreatdurpsby]

Feb 18, 2011

Is this just me?

[VercittiGangBoy]

@TheGreatdurpsby What about it? I shot it on February 17th, uploaded on February 18th

[TheGreatdurpsby]

@VercittiGangBoy I'm sorry I keep forgetting its 2011.

[BellTollsForThee]

Best nugget of wisdom gabe gave starts at 15:30

[Lizard6376]

This is actually very interesting

[ChuckNorrisMMM]

17:20 meanwhile at Valve...

[RagnaroekChaos]

@ChuckNorrisMMM fun fact: the day this interview was made was the day Portal 2 hit gold-status and was sent to Microsoft.

[1234Bcbc]

this was so awesome!!

[jewifeifei]

Gabe disappointed with mario galaxy? D:

[TMGPence]

i would have asked him when ep. 3 is coming out!

[WildBeastBG]

The program is LifeSize.

[ThaOMegaCheeseBurger]

@VercittiGangBoy The all known gabe knows what in your computer and you life

[dumbtrooper]

leting us change our steam id would be just fine 

[DKmasterLP]

Gabe is rly col but asking HIM about sport things?....NOOOOOOOOOOO waaaaay!

[VercittiGangBoy]

@DKmasterLP It is a Sports/Entertainment Marketing class, after all

[TheYeIIowDucK]

Nobody asked about Episode 3?

I'm disappointed.

[trizmisce]

OMFG I'm so freaking jealous of those students

[SpryPunk]

lol at the fucking announcements :P

[CorrosionAlpha]

This was really informative, and it was cool to see Gabe talk about the approach that Valve has to different topics.

[tonylin2]

Gaben  <3

[jsDX11]

Gabe is a nice gay. Ppl need to stop making fun of him :(

[partycakeboy92]

@jsDX11 People love him. THey just joke about his weight

[rionhunter]

fuck the announcements >:(

[tsetsoooo]

lol what camera did they use to capture the whole gaben (awesome face) :D

[MechaBowser]

33:30 would you please shut the fuck up pretty please :3

[polkunus]

Know one knew who Gabe was or were they ALL being shy?

[RebelElite]

The whiteboard behind him is all the brainstorming that Gabe has gone through for episode 3

[Thomasgrandgrind]

portal 2 

[Thomasgrandgrind]

VALVE IS THE BEST

[Thomasgrandgrind]

GABE NEWELL

[TheReggaeMortis]

I would lose my shit if Gabe was talking to me

[DasBoShit]

Guys. What program is that? It's some TV, or Skype?

[VercittiGangBoy]

@DasBoShit No idea what the exact program name is, but it is 100% compatible with Skype

[Genstrider]

@DasBoShit You're a faggot

[DasBoShit]

@Genstrider I asked the question, so that means that I am a faggot? Shut up troll.

[Genstrider]

@DasBoShit Thought you were the Das on my friends list but apparently you're just a huge fake

Enjoy living in the shadow of the real das

[DasBoShit]

@Genstrider What are you talking about? What fake? This account name was my idea! I am NOT !!!NOT!!! the shadow of the some "das"

[WNxShisno]

@DasBoShit

Says "LifeSize" in the top-left.

lifesize(dot)com is their site.

[thecgcworldwide]

@DasBoShit

lifesize

[lookslikeharry2]

35:12 CORNHOLE

[guitara7x6661]

wait, what about a prostitute on the announcements?

[file374]

we need l4d3 and more tf2 weapons 

[TerakJK]

@file374 weapons? You mean hats.

[file374]

@TerakJK nope i meant weapons

[Roach4K]

gabe is really helping me understand company growing and economics this is great insperation for me and my future dreams :)

[wizardsbane]

Love how he mentions Super 8 because the team was probably integrating the trailer map at the time lol.

[Slothfrenzy]

awesome interview

[animefr33k]

The school announcer needs to be quiet when Gabe is talking.

[clone104d]

I live on Newell Drive. I feel a special connection.

[SimonGuy10]

Why are all the kids so fucking shy!? I would be going crazy asking Gabe questions!

[VercittiGangBoy]

@SimonGuy10 It's harder than you think

[george3dmax]

@VercittiGangBoy Thats it!!!, i want gabe newell make!! Half life 2!, on CRYSIS ENGINE!!!, nah not really i'm just being random.

[lookslikeharry2]

@george3dmax Source engine>Cryengine. Forever.

[elowine]

@lookslikeharry2 Go to the mycryengine website and press the "Cinema" button. Source loses. BIGTIME

As much as I like Valve games the engine is outdated. See the loading times and the amount of them in Portal 2

[jiminy82]

@elowine if you had to wait for Portal 2 loading times then you need to upgrade your computer. I never once waited for more than 5 seconds, most of the time 2-3 seconds.

[elowine]

@jiminy82 Congratulations? Don't think hardware will decrease the amount of loading screens. Secondly the engine doesn't supports high-end hardware very well. Thats the whole point. A fast dual core pc from 2 years ago will load the game faster than the latest i7.

[resdudeornardude]

@elowine I'm baffled by your thought process, how does hardware NOT decrease the time it takes to load a game? More ram will do that, a faster CPU will do that, and a hard drive that reads faster will also do that.

[elowine]

@resdudeornardude Did I say that ? No ..... I said that the amount of loading screens stays the same no matter what kind of monster pc you got. And that amount is pretty high for a game from 2011. Just saying

[VercittiGangBoy]

@elowine You then go on to say that an older CPU will load the game faster than the newest i7.

[resdudeornardude]

@elowine As much as I like Valve games the engine is outdated. SEE THE LOADING TIMES and the amount of them in Portal 2

[DaRkLoRd1061]

@resdudeornardude i'd still take the source engine over any other engine out there, on physics cababilties alone....

[39jthm]

@VercittiGangBoy Yes. It would be when I am around Gaben.

......mmmm.

[Jay2Oh]

@VercittiGangBoy That's what Gabe said

[jokerace321]

@SimonGuy10 I have him on steam!

[Link8943]

Best. Fucking. School. EVER.

[oliethefolie]

Gabe's Brain:

Fuck you kids, I'm playing on my iPad!

[EagerSleeper]

23:35 He has said before that he will tell everybody his newest game is his favorite. Lol, I know I'm a nerd when I know what his favorite games are, and I've never met him.

[BeeblesTV]

He's always on his phone or tablet when talking to people, how rude lol

[EmperorVagak]

1:19 Gabe Newell is cow.

[ThePieIsLie]

Gabe Newell isn't fat. He's just full of pure AWESOME.

[MiniMackeroni]

@ThePieIsLie All that awesome has to fit somewhere.

[pkcrossing89]

This is a gold mine for YouTube Poops

[MattTreck]

Damn I watched this whole video

[PipBoy1212]

God you guys are so fucking lucky.

[owensed01]

what a fucking lucky asssssssss school

the kids in the video dont even appreciate this as much as the kids at my school would have notice he says at the video "how many people play valve games" "thats helpfull" sarcasm.....

[SomeNightElf]

Does that meen if you say your computer has porn and video games on it, then it's really full of educational stuff?

[RaveBeef]

Wait a minute, why did i watch this whole video? Damn gabe, you are cursed, you are forcing us to watch videos that you feature!
