Also really wondering what Tycho will sound like. The trailer was released yesterday . . . And Tycho does speak. Also I think the IC is a weapon skin not a new weapon. Gambling! TF2 Items! Comedy!www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6HN3TsI8cw |

Grr! Just spent ages finding out that the grand majority of games downloaded off Steam won't run on my laptop due to the internal Intel video card not being quite good enough... Even though everything else is more than good enough and at no point before purchase was it suggested this could be a problem. I am cursing Steam. Guess it's time to look into desktop computers again  |

The trailer is funny, but Heavy's dialog sounds out of character. Still, maybe it's because he never actively interacts with anybody in TF2. Grr! Just spent ages finding out that the grand majority of games downloaded off Steam won't run on my laptop due to the internal Intel video card not being quite good enough... Even though everything else is more than good enough and at no point before purchase was it suggested this could be a problem. I am cursing Steam. Guess it's time to look into desktop computers again Ack. I ran into the same problem! I now have two laptops - one for gaming, and one for everything else. Fortunately I bought the gaming laptop from a friend at a discounted price - secondhand, sure, and I can't run games at their peak graphical capability, but I can game with it! The most you'd probably be able to run were Poker and Worms. XD But in the event you get a game-friendly computer and are interested in playing TF2, give us other Steam gamers a hollar ;D |

So Tycho's basically doing his insane dungeon master thing I am cursing Steam. Guess it's time to look into desktop computers again I feel your pain... well except that I also have a kickass desktop PC  The only Steam game my clunky lump of bolts can run is Commander Keen, and even that one gives me resolution issues... I'm basically stuck with NES roms when class gets reaaaally dull. Anyway I guess you could've checked out the system requirements before buying stuff, but hey a little too late for that now! |

So it turns out there's a Companion Cube Pin in TF2. Or rather, there will be, as it's currently unobtainable.  The cube hangs out of the portal and is jiggleboned, so it bounces up and down as the character wearing it moves. The portal itself is orange if you're on RED Team, and blue if you're on BLU Team. While how you obtain it is unknown, I'm willing to bet you get it for pre-ordering Portal 2 on the PC. |

Yeah, it's something you need to do in the Steam client program. Just click and drag! It's that easy ;D

Thanks for that, managed to do it on my own with Steam client 2 days ago when I got home.
Also brought the Clever Indie Bundle via 24 hour sale on Steam yesterday for $4.99 (originally 49.99 save 91% or something) and contains Doc Clock: the Toasted Sandwhich of Time, Euflora, Iron Grip Warload (a FPS/RTS) VVVVVV and World of Goo which I played this morning and is awesome, but has a surprising diffuiculty to it.
