Breaking: Valve Drinks Coffee

[CSN NewsBot]

Yep, Valve employees drink coffee. What's more is that they drink Starbucks coffee and Seattle based station KING5 was on hand to catch Doug Lombardi and Gabe Newell in the act. Kotaku has the details.

As you can see, Gabe Newell does not f*** 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 segment, in its entirety, at the KING5 video section.



(Hey, it's a slow news day. If you absolutely loathe stories like this taking up precious front page space, then you need to submit some news about FPS games or Valve titles! Otherwise, it might just be more hot Newell and Lombardi on Starbucks action for you.)

i personally dont think people should go starbucks as of addictive as they are now. all that sugar feeds more than a day's worth of calories. haha =P and gabe needs to watch his weight a bit.

Apparently you didn't catch those fat bastards raiding the Dunkin' Donuts.



They need to stop walking on the curb. They're leaving footprints every time they step.

Oh Kotaku, could you be more random?

FUCK YOU CRAPBUCKS.

This explains why so many Starbucks are closing.

[-:Nighthawk:-]

Are you kidding? We have two on the same block here, with a Governor's Cup, Beanery, and Coffeehouse Café within one block and several more coffee shops (Dutch Bros, Ike Box, etc) within a two-block radius.



If you don't live in the Pacific Northwest, odds are you've only seen Starbucks infiltrating your area from out this way. The coffee culture out here is completely different from things back East, and is best comparable to the pub culture in a few Western European states... only bigger, because public wiredness isn't illegal.



Anyway, I'm not gonna comment on the story itself, because you guys are starting to act like this is some sort of sick celebrity-watch website. :P Time to grab a cup of coffee and head to work...

There's two starbucks down the same road here too. Granted, one is in a Target. :v But it's still funny.
