Gabe And Doug Caught Drinking!




Coffee, Yes developers drink coffee too! While reporting the closure of 600 Starbucks stores across the US, local news channel KING5 caught Gabe Newell and Doug Lombardi sneaking out of a Starbucks in Seattle.



Kotaku said:
As you can see, Gabe Newell does not **** around, clutching what looks like a Venti Mint Mocha Chip Frappuccino. A mysterious "other guy" keeps things straight with a Grande Espresso Macchiato, while Doug Lombardi - who is surprised, but not shocked at the closures - doubles up on beverages, while lying on camera that it's for a "co-worker" to make him feel better about his cheeky afternoon "seconds".


You can watch the video here.

tis odd seeing Doug being interviewed by some one and he is not talking about games, even though he is still being technical.

And I thought I'd managed to avoid all episodes of Big Brother until now.

Oh wait this is what HL2.net are calling news these days?

Some stalker roving reporter video of two fairly regular guys gods who have taken the time to hang up their deity wings forgo the usual round of slushies and walk among the denizens of Earth beneath them get coffee instead.

But wait, perhaps I'm being hasty. Afterall this news piece has laid rest to the once-believed-to-be-far-fetched claim that game developers drink coffee, of all things! To think of all those heretics that were burnt at the stake for hanging so desperately to this belief, and it turns out to be TRUE? Oh, the humanity! So many lives lost so senselessly!

I think the real story here is: "Who is going to be tried with crimes aginst humanity for this tragic misconveyance of justice?"
