Gabe Newell Forges A Half-life Response

[Hectic Glenn]

Appearing in video for Neal Stephenson's CLANG kickstarter, Gabe pounds away at a crowbar (did he hit it 3 times before stopping!?) and jokes "These things take time". I wouldn't suggest you take the video as a serious announcement of any kind though...

Gabe spoke with Kotaku regarding the video saying he and Neal met years ago and he's a fan of the CLANG project, so much so he dedicated his time and own workshop tools to the video.

I have a forge and a CNC mill in my garage. The anvil in the shoot is mine, and is made by Nimba Anvils here in Washington state. The hammer I was using was made by a friend of mine in Arizona, Tai Goo."

Gabe? Do you read this? Don't push our buttons like that - it's inhumane.
