In an interview with game consultant Indie Game Joe, Counter-Strike co-creator Minh Le revealed a hilarious anecdote about Valve boss Gabe Newell that\u2019s going viral for just how absurd it is. <\/p>\n

Le claimed that, at one point during his tenure, Newell became so enamored with the concept of Mongolian throat singing that he couldn\u2019t stop practicing it in Valve\u2019s corporate offices \u2014 to the point where his employees started closing their office doors to avoid the noise.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not familiar with Mongolian throat singing, it\u2019s a vocal technique most popularly associated with the people of Tuvan, a region in Russia located northwest of Mongolia. The Tuvan people call it Kh\u00f6\u00f6mei, and it\u2019s achieved by using circular breathing to produce two or more notes simultaneously. It\u2019s a seriously impressive talent that has become popularized over time, and has been utilized in a number of famous films and TV series (like the Sardaukar chant in the first Dune movie, for example).<\/p>\n
