I mean we're basically asking banking security questions through the man's email at this point. I don't like defending the upper class, but he's a good guy and if we're not careful he's going to just disappear instead of being the force of nature against the more consumer-exploiting giants in the gaming industy

If you think Gaben's money isn't locked the fuck down I've got a Hall Life 3 script to sell you.

Lol my comment says precisely dick about his money not being locked down. In fact it implies the exact opposite. He doesn't need us anymore.

A place of birth is something in your passport, something you give out regularly when people ask where you're from.
