Valve selling Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead-themed greeting cards

by Ben Gilbert { Nov 22nd 2009 at 11:59PM }

We know how boring most holly jolly holiday cards can be, so we were glad to see that a handful of Valve-ified greeting cards are now available for purchase at the game maker's online store. Featuring characters from Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, and Team Fortress 2 in compromising holiday situations, there's no doubt that we'll actually – finally – send out greeting cards this year to everyone in our little black book. We're quite partial to the handful of TF2-themed images you see above (just look at The Spy, back with The Scout's mother!), but we're sure there's something for everyone in your list of Source Engine-loving holiday card receivers.

The spy was hilarious. I sent it to my mum.

Special Agent Steve @ Nov 23rd 2009 12:03AM

The spy :one: was hilarious*

Peter Moore @ Nov 23rd 2009 12:14AM

That's... a strange card to send to your mother...

But very appropriate, if you catch my drift. *wink*

Special Agent Steve @ Nov 23rd 2009 4:26PM

Haha, that's funny HedonisticKai!!!!
Now my email is filled with your incompetence as well.

Speaking of, the new Engadget site is HAWT. Any chance of Joystiq undergoing two overhauls in one year?

CheeziePotato (Gotta Catch 'Em All) @ Nov 23rd 2009 3:43AM

wats a engadget dawg?

HedonisticKai @ Nov 23rd 2009 12:35PM

@CH3BURASHKA:

ChuckBartowski (ATDF Technical Consultant) @ Nov 23rd 2009 12:22AM

Now all we need is a holiday level in TF2.

CaramelZappa @ Nov 23rd 2009 12:36AM

That would be awesome. Maybe they'll do a free weekend/christmas theme in december, like they did for halloween?

HighFiveJesus @ Nov 23rd 2009 12:52AM

they did something special last christmas i believe, like super low price. hopefully they'll add some more hats or something though.

Sly @ Nov 23rd 2009 12:25AM

TF2 collection 1 is hilarious.

HighFiveJesus @ Nov 23rd 2009 12:53AM

Truly the set with the most character.

L4D ehh not so much.

freaparn @ Nov 23rd 2009 1:00AM

Might be too early for me to have any Christmas cheer, I'm not really feeling any of these cards. The L4D ones seem particularly... bland, I guess? It's kind of: there's a charger, he's doing christmasy stuff like you or I might. That's out of character, I suppose.

Some of the TF2 stuff was a bit clever at least, but I'm starting to feel that Valve has gone from influencing meme humor to simply incorporating it.

Pimliconite @ Nov 23rd 2009 8:33AM

The spitter catching snowflakes is kind of disturbing.

Das Boot @ Nov 23rd 2009 1:11AM

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

BONK!

The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] ATDFs Financier and Batman @ Nov 23rd 2009 1:44AM

RUN FROM THE SANDVICH

Bo @ Nov 23rd 2009 3:44AM

Oh SHIT

CH3BURASHKA @ Nov 23rd 2009 1:29AM

I hope they'll get a new Meet The video by Christmas, at least.

Bonk.

Gentlemen.

adamgreeney @ Nov 23rd 2009 1:49AM

I want one for Valentine's Day that says "I want to ride you like a Jockey."

uncle jesse @ Nov 23rd 2009 10:44AM

Or another Valentine's Day card that you could send to your wife/gf with "the spitter" on it...

Filthy Assistant @ Nov 23rd 2009 1:52AM

I was wondering how I could encapsulate "Hi, I'm a huge fucking nerd with no sense of when something's been run into the ground!" in a card. Thanks!

The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] ATDFs Financier and Batman @ Nov 23rd 2009 2:04AM

well, it certainly would fit since this stuff has hardy reached dead horse status. Lighten up

CaramelZappa @ Nov 23rd 2009 2:29AM

Nah, I haven't seen any Guitar Hero cards yet.

Anti-Villian @ Nov 23rd 2009 3:14AM

It's ok.. He's English =)

Anti-Villian @ Nov 23rd 2009 3:15AM

aw shit =(

Poisoned Al @ Nov 23rd 2009 7:05AM

I like "I knit it myself" and the phyro with the box of coal myself.

CrabBattle @ Nov 23rd 2009 11:04AM

Best FPS of the year

rbtroj @ Nov 23rd 2009 11:54AM

Sorry to go a little OT, but does anyone know if HL2:Ep3 is actually going to see the light of day? Or has it been quietly axed? I know Valve's riding the L4D cash cow, but the whole "six months between releases" thing for HL2 episodes should have brought us Ep3 about, what ... two years ago?
