Big Pink Cookie = 7000 calories...

WTF is that stuff, Lembas bread???

Hopefully they give you a gym pass too.

I just watched a video about a company's snack room.

I think that the most surprising part of this video is where Erik Wolpaw describes his other videogame job as grueling and terrible -- as far as I can tell, the only other game company he's worked for is Tim Schafer's Double Fine. Very surprised to hear that that's such a crappy place to work.

I never realized that Half Life was in reference to the life expectancy of Valve employees.

Thin glasses guy is pretty neurotic.

Snack lady has it in for him.

They seem to be pretty high on candy if you ask me...

This was too painful to watch. On many levels.

Gabe wants everyone to look like him. Not all perks are good, and I thought Valve was better than that.

Something tells me Gabe isn't interested in the fruit at the Snack Bar...

I was hungry when I watched this..now..not so much.

What a horribly unhealthy thing to have at your work. I know I'd eat too much crap food if it was just THERE and free all the time while I was coding.

I like the idea of the weekly catered lunch though, good way to get everyone together to talk informally. I bet they get some good little breakthroughs and a-ha moments during or stemming from those lunches

My TV has channels for horrible things like hours of reality TV, soap operas, etc. but I somehow manage to not tune in.

It sounded like Gabe requested the diet Coke, presumably others have requested the fruit, trail mix, etc. so I imagine that between exercising some self control and requesting healthy alternatives an employee there could be happy, healthy, and fully snack-provisioned if they so desired.

So this is why we can't have Episode 3.

Stop eating that sesame seed CAKE.

Guys, FYI, Erik Wolpaw is a master of deadpan joke delivery. He's basically just trolling.

I love watching behind the scenes clips of successful tech companies... and then they piss me off because they make me so jealous; why couldn't I have been highly intelligent, too!?!?!

So the theory is, fat employees are more productive?

Welcome to valves snack room. After 9 years in development, hopefully it was worth the wait.

Note to self: Make documentary on company gym, yoga classes, basketball, volleyball, and skateboard clubs, but make no mention of the monthly cakes, pay day junk food orgy, and revolutionary bacon checklist system.

I have heard they are setting up a dialysis bar right in the middle of the snack room.

Anyone else drawing a comparison here?

They WISH the cake was a lie.
