At this point in time, most if not all of you have seen Valve's "Meet the Spy" video, which is arguably the strongest video in the relatively short series. It was inadvertently released over the weekend, but as you can see from the screencap above, Valve's got a sense of humor about the leak.
Alongside putting out a high-def version of "Meet the Spy," the company detailed the Steam Achievements for Thursday's Spy/Sniper Update earlier today. As we've come to expect, the Achievements are chock full of references to pop culture and movies, or are otherwise puntastic.
If for whatever reason you're looking to be a fanboy of a videogame company, I'd say Valve has got to rank up there pretty high in terms of viable options.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

I've got to go check on a, uh, tape of mine.
I thought it was absolutely hysterical when the devs for Zeno Clash commented INSIDE a Mininova torrent thread for a pirated copy of the game. I think it shows that they actually give a shit about the community, and welcome it.
I've proudly been one of those for a long time : )
Also, all of you are fired. Desks cleaned out by five.
They confirmed that it was a leak today, I believe.
Valve is a fantastic company that has a great sense of humor and loves its fans. You can't ask for much more then that.
They compared the spaces in the low quality leak to the spaces in the Leaked Video sign for the HD video, and they don't match up, so it was added afterward as a joke.
The pyro can only have one of those abilities at a time. The crits come on the backburner and the knock back ability comes on the regular flamethrower. I agree though it does round the class out nicely.
I think he might have been referring to the Axetinguisher, that's a guaranteed crit if your target is flaming.
Valve can go fuck themselves.
And no some unlocks really are totally useless, the Sandvich does not have any purpose other than giving people free kills on a heavy. And having lunch parties.
One of these days I go down to Valve HQ and give Gabe a big hug.

Well, there's your problem.
IS A MAN
IS A WOMAN
Oh look a Burn Notice reference. I'm getting that one first.
And the unlockables are apparently going to end up as drops / more common anyway.
Now whenever I play, it seems that I'm the only person who cares about ensuring that the TEAM wins. Everyone else is too busy playing as if it's deathmatch.
