Gabe Newell I-view

[mortiz]

Sorry if some of you have already seen this, but videogamessuck.com has an apparant "interview" with Gabe. I'm not sure if it's real, but given these guys track record It's unlikely:

http://www.videogamessuck.com/article113.html

1. Rumors of HL2 going gold in August, are they true?

We're on track for the first release candidate July 30th, so hopefully, yes.

2. Doesn't my site own Gamespy and Gamespot?

You are the sun, they are the moon.

3. Will Gordon Freeman ever talk?

Nope.

4. Would you sleep with Alyx in Hl2?

Yes, but unfortunately she has no interested in fat, middle-aged men who dress like they're homeless.

5. Whats your preffered breast size?

Heh heh, you said breast.

6. How many gigs of pr0n do you have?

None right now. Although, now that you mention it, I've got a good idea what to do with our 4 Gbps of bandwidth once the Half-Life 2 pre-load tapers off...

7. Whats your favorite movie and why?

I hate these questions. I always get them wrong.

So, uh, Pulp Fiction, because, uh, Tarantino is both a great director and a huge fan at the same time.

8. In Hl2, lets say i was in a vehicle and i blow into a wood fence going full speed, would the planks of wood on the fence break and blow apart?

Yes. Don't ask me about the bucket of water, ok?

9. Im sure you listen to death metal... Right? If not what music do you listen to?

Khoomei.

10. Read my HL review on my site and tell me what you think of it!

You missed a spot on your chin. Here, borrow my hankie.

If it's been posted before feel free to : maim, rape, torture, dismember and murder as you see fit.

Oops, just noticed, it's almost a month old!!!! It probably has been posted then.

That isn't real.

 

[king John I]

obviously fake

 

[moppe]

It's fake.

 

[Citizen 1150421]

hmm .. i find it interesting that someone actually sat down and wrote this stuff ..

some people are just sad.

 

[B-MAn]

sooo FAAAAKKE

 

[Hazar]

Nothing more that a joke.

who would actually believe that it's real?

lol, coming from a website called "videogamessuck", I highly doubt the interview is valid.

 

[Shuzer]

I actually believe that to be real. Those are DEFINITELY Gabe-like responses. Read his HL2World interview, you'll see he answers gag interviews in that style.

 

[Gorgon]

Is this real ? Interesting new style of responses

Yeah, it does sound like Gabe..

Don't be silly, I'm amazed people out there would even consider this to be real. Gabe's interview responses, when he's trying to be funny, contain far more sophisticated humour than the crap on display in this one. This one's about as authentic as Michael Jackson's face.

The owner of the site is currently taking screenshots of the emails, we can comb them over inch by inch when he posts them

 

[<RJMC>]

the page is called videoamessuck.com you think that interview was real?

 

[FoB_Ed]

who cares if it's real. he didn't say anything important anyway. Plus it's a month old

 

[Asuka]

Fake Evilll!

 

[Axyon]

There's nothing that pertains to Half-Life 2 in this 'interview' anyway. Closed.

Thanks to Shuzer though, it's confirmed that the interview is indeed true. I'm not going to re-open, but it's still interesting to know:
