When the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences kicks off this year's D.I.C.E. Summit in Las Vegas it will do so with opening remarks and a keynote address by Gabe Newell. The Valve supreme commander will join the show's laundry list of other industry luminaries when the event takes over Sin City's Red Rock Casino the week of February 17.
Among the more interesting scheduled talks include a presentation by Resident Evil 5 creative director Jun Takeuchi, who plans to address the challenges devs face when creating games for a global audience. Another by Ensemble's Bruce Shelley will see the game designer look back on the studio's history as well as discuss what may have led to the company turning out its lights for the final time. As for what Newell himself will be talking about, nothing has been announced, though our Magic 8-Ball says it will be PC-centric and not particularly flattering towards DRM.

I thought Leia choked Jabba's ass out on the desert barge?
Oh, wait. It's just another Valve story. Howdy, Gabe!

Someone's trying to ride the triple-heart-wave by whoring out joke.
I think it's my duty to point out that Gabe is uber-sexy and you morons are simply jealous because you're too inferior to have him.
There. A buzzkill and a c-c-c-c-c-c-combo breaker in a two-in-one package. Now get over it.

I wish attractiveness was directly proportional to awesomeness, because this guy deserves to be on the cover of GQ magazine
