    That is fantastic. A number of big names are starting to come out of the woodwork when it comes to bronydom, it seems. I saw a video a few weeks ago where Robert Pattinson revealed his bronyness. At least, Jimmy Kimmel said the words "Twilight" and "sparkle" consecutively, and Pattinson proceeded to respond, "Like My Little Pony."

    You know who else is a brony? Bill Amend. He writes/draws the newspaper comic "Foxtrot." Well, maye he's not a Brony, but he at least did a shoutout.

    This strip in last Sunday's Chicago Tribune made me giggle. It also got me into "Game of Thrones", which is now my favorite TV drama. I watched the first six episodes today. I cut it out, and it now rests on my bulletin board.

    Oh....oh god...Why did I look at the comments in the Gabe Newell video? /v/ trolls and pony haters are everywhere.

    That strip made me wonder. Is Amend a brony or anti-brony? Clearly Jason hates ponies, which is why I'm curious.

    Jason hates a lot of things. I'm sure he has nothing against Bronies... I mean, why put them in his strip if he does? That he's willing to joke around must mean, I hope, that he appreciates us.

    YES! Valve must ponify all their games now.

    Am I the only person who had to google Gabe Newell?

    Regarding video's comments, wow, some people really are persistent aren't they? I started to read one argument but quickly stopped after I released how long it was, I couldn't even find the first comment :dunno:

    To me, he's like a legend.

    Every game he has churned out has bowled me over.

    Valve is best developer.

    I wish I found shooters more entertaining as a genre. I'd be able to more thoroughly enjoy Valve games. I've only played the Portal games (LOVE them) and TF2 (really fun but I'm terrible). I tried L4D2, but didn't care for it...Zombie rush isn't my thing.

    I never played Counter-Strike, and only a small part of HL1.

    Finish the Half-Life series.

    I have never loved an FPS more.

    perhaps derailing the topic, but I've found all of valve games to be highly over-rated.

    I agree with you on Team Fortress and Left 4 Dead.

    Half-Life 2 alone deserves the 11 million copies sold.

    I hope he throws in a MLP ref in the next TF2 update.

    Ohh boy, If he does that, then I'm looking forward to seeing all the anti-brony TF2 fans who'll rage and rant about it. It's gonna be hilarious.

    Yeah I kinda had to google him too xD I have no idea who he was until now. Now I remembered that I actually know him very well but I didn't know his name. :dunno:

    But now that I know. That is awesome!
