Yahtzee visits Valve!

[mastapenguin]

You know, I was thinking that Valve would acknowledge one of the internet's most famous reviewers, and now I've been vindicated.

Unfortunately, he's too busy being intimidated by the biggest names in the video game industry (for some reason, Tycho was there too) to really give us much new info or insights into upcoming games, nor did he get a chance to mindrip Laidlaw of everything he knows. Still, its a quick diversion.

Actually, there's one nice piece of info that he drops. Any guesses who its going to be?

I'm guessing they're going to introduce the medic or sniper next. It makes the most sense (to me, anyways). They've introduced 1 offense class, all 3 defense, and no support classes. Pyro probably isn't going to be done anytime soon, and spy would be difficult as well, so I'd have to guess medic or sniper.

lol, I just had to point this out. You put 'stupid gammer' under your reason of editing.

I so have to quote the ending of that whole thing:

I've given Americans a lot of shit throughout Zero Punctuation, with phrases like "cheeseburger-inhaling Yank" being thrown around and my personal image of the gun-toting cretin who unironically gargles words like "liberty" until they lose all meaning. But now I think I've undergone a change of perspective. I've eaten at some very fancy restaurants worlds away from cheeseburgers. I've rubbed shoulders with some lovely, mild-mannered people as they fired round after round into juddering paper targets. Maybe this isn't the kind of bitter snideness I'm known for, but I really think my cynicism for the United States has tempered somewhat.

"Medium," "Large" and "King Size"? What the **** is that? How the **** can "Medium" be the smallest? Do you even know what the word "Medium" means? This is why you're all so fat, you bunch of road sign-shooting Yankee pillocks.

I love Yahtzee.

Clearly Meet the Sniper is next. :rolling:
