Finally! We get to “Meet the Pyro”. It’s a good thing these shorts weren’t meant to showcase how these classes are to be played because they sure took their sweet time releasing these.
As always these animated shorts are humorous with a hint of disturbance — all these classes seem a little crazy. None of them are as crazy as the Pyro though.
I no longer buy Ubisoft games on day one and I’ve become weary of purchasing EA games as well. But now I may have another company to add to the list: Valve.
Valve burned me with Portal 2 — they actually burned me twice because I bought a copy for my brother. Watching the price drop below $50 within the first week was ok, but watching it plummet all the way down to less than $11 because of a Steam sale is disheartening.
Just last week I could have purchased, enjoyed Portal 2 and still have enough time to consider it for game of the year.
Consider it a lesson learned.
Here are a couple of noteworthy videos that I missed out on because of the bandwidth cap issues.
The first is Valve’s Meet the Medic video. It’s well made, funny and quite lengthy compared to the other “Meet the..” videos.
Valve have progressed quite a bit since its days with the original Portal. The first was a unique puzzle game with a surprising twist and filled with charm. But after watching my brother go through the entirety of it made me realize the superiority of the sequel in nearly every way.
