[Qaridarium]

Maybe, quite possibly... After a while of busting your ass up to 100 hour weeks for years, plus having to deal with an ever increasing number of PTS commercial customers, after a while it takes a toll on your mind and body while people continue to complain either way about anything.

You need to lay off the beer and get some exercise before you burn yourself out. Take this from someone who has been through both small business engineering environments and corporate IT hell.

P.S. I think your articles are very good.

I've definitely noticed an unusually high number of people complaining on these forums about pretty much anything they can. I'm guessing the majority actually enjoy your articles and that you get a reasonable hit count to your pages. Unfortunately that majority is probably silent and don't post in the forums.

Maybe some guest writers could help with the load? But yeah, you're doing a good job, even if it's not said that often.

Pretty much. I'm in the "They're fine for what they are" department.

Big thanks Michael!
Thanks to your arkward and disgusting taste, all Valve developers who taste this cat-piss will die horribly!

I don't understand how people can drink cat-piss with banana flavour!

Get a GODDAMN Pilsener!
Or Lager
Or Export
Or Kölsch (aka Pussy-beer, whereby I like it very much! Go to Cologne and try it. In a oldschool pub the waitress will bring new ones without you needed to ask!).
Or Porter (the sweet one from Saxionia)
Or Alt-Bier!
And if you are a man, and not an American pussy, try Bock-Bier! As a REAL man try Doppel-Bock!

EVERYTHING tastes better than this banana juice!

Although I have to admit the Rauchbier sounds interesting...

So no Linux client from Valve thanks to Michael!

LOL ???? damn what is your problem ?

That Micheal killed all Valve developers with the most disgusting kind of beer brewed under the "Deutsches Reinheitsgebot".

Franziskaner *spit* Tastes like piss after eating 10kg of bananas
Weihenstephaner Korbinian *sp...* wait.. its a Doppelbock... WTF? I should learn to read.
Paulaner Salvator *sp...* ah fuck, I cant know any of the x-thousand German beer. If it is a Weizen, see Franziskaner-comment
Ayinger - Lager "Memo to me: learn to read"
Franziskaner Dunkel - *spit* see Franziskaner comment (just with old black bananas)

But still:
No Pilsener, Kölsch, Alt, Porter, etc. pp.
Just bavarian junk.
I vote for kicking Bavaria out of Germany!
The Bavarians want to leave (hint: small typo makes Babarian out of Bavarians which is quite close to reality!), other Germans want them to leave, so ALL would be happy!
People in Lederhosen and Dirndl are just but-ugly! Ok, there are some nice 19 year old girls looking nice in Dirndls, but they look nice in any clothers and even naked they are still looking good!
That's why I prefer the beach to watch 19 year old girls than the Oktoberfest (never been there, but there are cheaper occasions to see drunk German girls).
Furthermore the rest of Germany talks some kind of understanable language. The "Gebrabbel" of the Babarians (no typo) is not understandable for any civilized human.

And Micheal killed half Valve with the babarian drinks.

I think you'll find Porter is a typically an English (London) beer. Similarly Pilsener is originally Czech (albeit an imported technology from Germany perfected in Plzen).

But you're right, those beers are not that exciting. As I said above, I found the Rauchbier severely lacking in taste, mainly due to it's lager-like (ie. nonexistent) body. Maybe if it was a smoked ale....

Also, Salvator is a doppel-bock.

your reading skills are just small...

you do a real mistake because: michael buy german beer in the USA
this means he can not chose from german supermarket with 200-300 different kind of beers.

in germany you would define a rare beer in another way.

maybe the "Unertl BIO-Dinkel(Spelt) Weisse or Apostelbräu Dinkel(Spelt) " is a rare special. (these Spelt are the most expensiv beer's because Spelt is 4 times more expensiv than Wheat)



it depend on who you ask a swabian will prever a "Stuttgarter Hofbreu" a badener will prever a "Rothaus" like the "Tannenzäpfle"

in fact michael need "help" please send him all your beer ! then he can make a better beer benchmark!
