I Just Called Gabe Newell
<div class="IPBDescription">Shot down, but still exciting.</div> Well, while reading gamestop and finding out that:
1. Valve is based in Bellevue, approximatly 25 minutes + a ferry away from me.
2. Gabe Newell's phone number is listed, and obviously lives in the surrounding area.
So I got his number, and just called his house. This is how it went:
(Sorry about the stuff after the phone call, I was so excited that I forgot to turn it off.)

EDIT: Here is the message I left on his machine.

I may of been shot down, but I will never forget the moment that I called Gabe Newell's house.
GABE, YOU ARE MY GOD.
And I will be calling you again, later.

fap... fap fap? OH GOODNESS GRACIOUS ME!
on a slightly less depraved note (as in dealing with "harrassment over the phone" as opposed to "masturbation because of harrassment over the phone"):
please, I need a transcript of that call, I can't hear what she says.
So that's what you kids call it these day?
Hi is game there?
Whos this?
Aaron.
Is this about half life?
Yeah
Please call his office.
What?
Please don't call his house, call his office.
Ok, bye.
AHAHAHHAHAHA
fwap fwap fwap.
Like I said, shot down, but who cares.
Edit: And, um, by the way... (snip) and <a href='http://www.valvesoftware.com/contact.htm' target='_blank'>VALVe</a>.

Woman: "Hello?"
Funbags: "Hi is gabe there?"
Woman: "Who's calling?"
Funbags: "Ga- uh, Aaron?"
Woman: "Is this about halflife?"
Funbags: "Yeah"
Woman: "please call at his office"
Funbags: "Huh?"
Woman: "please dont call his house, please call at his office"
Funbags: "okay.. bye"
Funbags: *click*
Funbags: "Hee hee!"
I'm interested in what she said there too.
Edit: Okay, well funbags gave it up ahead. I just fixed my version, had a typo or two.

omg PLEASE PM me his number!
<a href='http://www.oracleband.net/Lyrics/8675309.htm' target='_blank'>Phone number REMOVED.</a> <span style='color:white'>Perfectly legal or not, it's far too close to stalking for me. And I think this man NEEDS some time to relax right now. Don't be that guy.</span>
But, yeah, don't call him. I mean, I can't stop you, and the information is easily found using any sort of phonebook, so its not like I'm giving out SUPAR SEKRAT INFROMASHUN!
Greetingsssssss missssssster Newell.
Poor Gabe... the journalist who told the entire Internet that Gabe's # was unlisted, right before HL2 came out when the fans are in a fury, should be fired.
I just left a message on his valve answering machine. I don't think I'll post it, unless you guys really want to hear it.
Her: Excuse me?
You: The Freeman residence. Is there a Gordon there?
Her: *Beeep*
I do have a lot of respect for him, so if he really doesn't want to be bothered, then I won't bother him.
Also, check my first post for the second convo. Hell, ill post it here too.

Unfortunatly, its just Chrono's mom that does that. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
