Buckethead 1 Posted April 25, 2012 So, the Valve employee handbook for 2012 got leaked. At the end there's a small glossary and one of the lines is: Ponies—The animals most beloved by those away from their computers, and most despised by people who prefer to hear jokes just once. I thought this was awesome, since Gabe is also a brony. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buckethead 1 Posted April 25, 2012 Certainly! News Article: Valve employee handbook leaks, read it here PDF handbook: http://newcdn.flamehaus.com/Valve_Handbook_LowRes.pdf It's on page 56. Contents of the page: VA L V E : H A N D B O O K F O R N E W E M P L O Y E ES – 56 – Greg Coomer—The only person who cares or remembers that somebody once might have said we’d move to Seattle. Knives—That which one can never own enough of. A vast collection of them is in no way a Freudian compensation. Manager—The kind of people we don’t have any of. So if you see one, tell somebody, because it’s probably the ghost of whoever was in this building before us. Whatever you do, don’t let him give you a presentation on paradigms in spectral proactivity. Mann Co.—Maker of square, unsafe products for men that occasionally catch on fire, and more occasionally, work as advertised. Owned and operated by Saxton Hale (see Australia). Parking Garage Elevators—Autonomous hostage-taking devices with a will of their own. Beware. Playtesting—What we do early and often. And loudly, if Karen is the tester. Ponies—The animals most beloved by those away from their computers, and most despised by people who prefer to hear jokes just once. Scorpions, Poison, Queen—Repeated exposure to our bathrooms’ Pavlovian rock block soundtrack will ensure that you’ll never be able to relieve yourself again unless someone hums “Rock You like a Hurricane.” Shitty Wizard—Person responsible for all Dota 2 bugs. Aka Finol. Talk Alias—Marc Laidlaw’s internal blog. (Un)weighted Companion Pillow—The thing Erik Wolpaw carries around with him and covers his mouth with after others have sat on it. Valve Activities—You will learn to love blacksmithing. Josh Weier—Variously pronounced “Josh Weere,” “Josh Wire,” “Josh Woe-Rue,” “Josh wuhh…[trailing off],” and “Josh Joshington” by those of us who stopped caring. They’re all equally valid! WFH—Working From Home. What to do if a single snowflake falls out of the sky The entire handbook seems to be very well written using humor and graphics design that I'd expect from Valve. Seems legitimate to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loki 0 Posted April 26, 2012 you seem to constantly look for acceptance on mlp, thinking some semi-famous people make it less of a gay show and a valid reason for a teenager dude to watch pony princessessesesesss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
