I now own Team Fortress 2

October 29th, 2009 · 4 Comments · gaming

From now until 2:00pm PDT, Team Fortress will be available on Steam for the horrifyingly (to our accountants) low price of $2.49! What else can you buy for that price? That’s not a rhetorical question, we’re interested in all the things we can buy once those $2.49s start rolling in.

Team Fortress 2, as if you didn't know
 

That was a very difficult offer to ignore. So I got one. Now I can play that awesome Hide and Seek mod I linked a while back. And I promised on twitter to buy a copy for the first person to retweet — hey, gotta spread the good & cheap game love! — since it wasn’t exactly going to break the bank. Congratulations to @Jsanchez102 and @Chadfishnchad for the tie. I will send your gifts out shortly :)

I did realize a second too late that I should have made it more of a day long thing, both because it would spread the good word farther and give people who don’t always check twitter every 30 seconds* a chance. Live and learn!

Ooh, neato. In Windows 7 Steam shows the download progress as part of the taskbar icon. This amuses me.

*This was not a shot against the winning parties as I am so very guilty of this procedure. So much so that it could be named after me (ok, not really). It has become my procrastination method of choice these days alongside Pangya.

    I had succeeded at breaking my TF2 addiciton. Didn’t even reinstall it. Now I’m re-dling it… :)

    You’ll have to report back to us on which class becomes your Most Played Class.

    Bah humbug, I don’t play computer games any more. Their far too time consuming. I remember Half Life 2 when it came out. From afternoon to late morning the next day, never again though.

    What are you doing for Halloween Jenn? What’s your costume going to be. I am thinking you should be a Muppet, or is that too obvious.

    MonkeyPig, I still haven’t played it but I will report back when I do!

    RP: I didn’t plan for halloween this year as I knew I’d be out on a trip. There’s always next year!
