Glad to see you...

If the gaming industry is an automobile, and the game designers are the drivers, then that makes us, the players, backseat drivers, and we'll be damned if we're gonna let the industry keep on heading the way it's going (good or bad) without letting them know what we think. So buckle up, feel free to complain about there being no air in the back, and bring your most critical and analytical mind to the open air discussion of the current age, Backseat Gamers!

Admittedly, I'm a bit of a Valve fanboy, but it's hard to bash on free games!  Team Fortress 2 is not free to play through Steam.  Anyone with a Steam account should be downloading this right now if they don't already have it, and anyone without a Steam account should set one up.  I'm looking forward to this.  I even downloaded a custom driver for my Mac to run my wireless 360 controllers with, so I don't even need to give up my comfy console controller (even if it is superior to the elite PC controls that make my wrists hurt)


I am looking forward to this massively large download finishing though.  I've always wanted to play TF2 with the PC community, since the Live players don't seem to understand cooperation.  Hey 3N3MY, maybe we'll finally win a game!

Also, if you haven't seen the latest update to Valve's incredibly impressive character videos, Meet the Medic is now up.  If you haven't seen the other "Meet the Team" videos, do so.  Well worth your time.

  1. Not gonna lie....probably gonna pass. We got our shit pushed in on the console and you somehow expect us to do anything good at all against the Valve Zombie Masses?

    Valve has the most rabid fans, next to WoW players, on earth and they have a zealous dedication to that game.

    You expect us to just jump in (and you with your newb console controller) and be effective? You're nuts. They'll eat us alive and come through our routers and throw our consoles out the window.

    TF2 is not a game that can just be picked up and played like CoD, Halo and Gears. Dedication and time would be the only key to success and I don't have it to dump into that. Especially with all the other games to play.

    Sorry mate, but you're gonna have to go that one alone.
