From a guy named “beaker” over at the Steam forums…
you thought this warranted its own thread?
Why.
So Valve’s the dick we’re the face and the jizz is Half-Life 3?
Well, unlike from the other post-wh*oes/aristocrats, I think it’s a nice metaphor…
This is coming from a man with a lot of time on his hands (c what i did thar? hurr durr).
Hahaha. That’s actually a pretty good metaphor.
Nice.
Ohohohoho.
True so true.
yes.
That sucked and you should feel sucked!
Says the first flamboyant brony to post in this thread. I like the show myself, but I don’t plaster my identity with it.
Well said, good sir.
The metaphor is pretty spot on, I have to admit
Hmm, very nice. The Black Mesa team seem to have adopted the same strategy.
I have to agree, it does sound about right. Granted, it’s a wierd way to put it but when you think about it it makes sense.
Also,
“Says the first flamboyant brony to post in this thread. I like the show myself, but I don’t plaster my identity with it.”
Just to go off topic, you should see people at the accursed farms forums, I changed my name to Pinkie Pie there for gods sake, mankyman doesn’t even talk about ponies in his posts whereas,at least me…yyyyeaah…
One who simply has an avatar of something does not necessarily plaster their identity with the aforementioned something.
@Kaweebo, That’s you over there?
le sigh
I would be willing to “plaster my identity” all over your inbox if you so wish. 
The metaphor sucks big time. Although I’m no fan of tantric sex, mainly because I think it’s too much effort for too little gain, I know that to practice it properly, both partners have to be in on it, i.e., they both have to know what’s going on.
In the metaphor, the gal (customers) has no clue of what’s going on, so the metaphor doesn’t work.
If anything, we could be approximated to customers in a super luxurious restaurant who ordered “Surprise of the Chef”. The menu didn’t state what it is, nor how long it’s gonna take to cook it, how much it costs, how it tastes and how much is there of it, so all we can do is sit and wait. We know the restaurant has never yet made any customer unhappy with the final meal, at the same time it’s frustrating not to know what’s coming, but we hope that also this time, the Surprise will be truly magnificent, and that’s why we wait.
(See? You don’t have to be obscene and talk about ejaculation to make a good metaphor. Besides, why exactly should the gal be so happy when the guy finally comes big time? I mean, it’s obviously NOT due to her, so what kind of happiness will the cumload deliver to her??? As I said, the metaphor sucks.)
Eeyup.
