Valve Software co-founder Gabe Newell becomes a video game character

We thought that Valve Software would be the first to turn the company's beloved co-founder Gabe Newell into a playable video game character, but that honor has instead been snatched by the Australian design team behind co-op dungeon battler Crawl. As reported at Eurogamer, designer Barney Cumming took to the game's development blog on Thursday to post a brief yet tantalizing GIF of his latest in-game creation, and it appeared to portray Newell as a playable "boss" in the game.
