Now's a good a time as any to remind people that if you really need to play Team Fortress 2 (and you're a PC owner), all you need to do is pre-purchase The Orange Box on Steam and you can start playing the TF2 beta next week. Although we don't exactly know how, but we hope some of the humor from these trailers translates to the gameplay. Then again, we've gotten used to the possibility of well-designed trailers being more interesting than the games they are for.

Sir, your avatar is made of God and Win.
Also, in an effort to stay on topic, I'm going to buy the shit out of this game, and then play it till my computer says, "WTF? Where's all the porn?" And I'll be like "STFU, Computer!" And then it'll crash and I'll kill myself.
Or something like that.
Also, Engineer ftw!

He's not a gamer. No PS3, no xbox 360 and no PC?

The question isn't if I should get this, but should I get it for my PC or my 360? Keyboard and mouse vs friends on Live. Hummm.
Anyway, I can't wait to see the Pyro's ad.

I'm not too excited about the Orange Box. TF2 sounded good til I saw the game play video. The only way I'd buy it if there was a new Counter-Strike involved. Portal is basically a tech demo. HL2 was awesome but there is nothing too new here.

Of course, everything else for your PS3 is just SOOOoooo much better isn't it?

Ummm, this IS coming to PS3 as well so your point is hilariously misfired. In fact, not only has your rocket completely launched off the map, it's not in another server. Congrats, you've saved the flag for JojoMunkeyNuts6969. He's most appreciative.

Being that I can get a better version on the PC than 360...yeah, there are better games on my PS3.

Ugh, does owning a PS3 make you stupid, or do you have to be an idiot to get one? I KNOW this is coming out for PS3, and as you can count the number of decent on-line games for the bloody thing on the fingers of a frostbite sufferer, it's a bit early to turn your nose up at it.

Damn straight people. Engineer for life. That guy who set up a sentry right over your front door like .50cal mistletoe? That was me.

This game is gonna kick so much freakin ass. I can't wait for it. I am gonna buy it for the ps3. Bad thing is I have to wait 2 weeks for it, when it is already out on 360 and the PC. Well whatever. I would have gotten it for the 360 but I am waiting to buy a 360 because I want to get the Falcon model. So I know for sure that it won't brick on me. Otherwise I am all good this winter with My Wii and PS3

Oh. Right. The people who want to get rid of "exploits" like floating nail grenades but want to keep "features" like conc-jumping medics owning every map. Keep that shit on Quake.

Anyone noticed:
"Copyright LOLOLOL"?
That the guitar playing is pretty accurate?
The kill ticker he's sitting next to?
Blu Streak beer?

I played the crap out of TFC1! SO looking forward to getting back into this game. Wonder if the cartoony graphics are gonna make it light on system requirements?

First time I have ever laughed out loud at a game trailer. Can't wait to see what the rest look like.

You aren't paying for it. TF2 and HL2 Episode one are more than worth the 50 bucks and you get portal as a free bonus.

The short of it is: If you already own HL2 and Ep1, you can essentially give the new copies from the Orange Box to somebody else. Not the best workaround, but considering the price tag it's still a great deal.

Hmm... Turret Defense? No, that's a silly idea, it'd never work.

Obviously I have a PC. And yes, it can play games. I'm just not too much of a PC gamer, and I didn't notice that it said it was available on the PC. The only reason I don't have a 360 is because I can't afford it. And I'm totally unwilling to buy a PS3 as it stands.
