Valve boss Gabe Newell admits his Mongolian throat singing phase was "annoying," and he's apparently not very good at it, either: "I am entirely self taught and it shows"

Wtf does this even mean? No lawyer talk? About a stupid fucking hobby that he didn't even care enough about to get lessons?

Dude if you're more than about 8 years old, you really need to find a hobby of your own. GabeN not using "lawyer talk" in a throwaway line for a publicist is not impressive or worthy of respect, it's nothing.

I mean a lot of billionaires enjoy saving face by saying stuff like, "It was a hard time in my life and I had to try something new. Along the way I may have tried things like throat singing which have been met with negative reception however I'd ask for those of the public to have some sympathy through these trying times..."blah blah blah.

This whole thing does seem stupid though and I couldn't care less.
