I have done this with two of my close friends and they are both very happy with tf2.

Two days later when I asked him about it he said that it was "gay" and that he had returned it. :|

Both failures said: "Grafy><X  R  GHEY!!1112221!!!oneone!!!eleven! SO unrealistic!!" Needless to say, they are already Halo 3 addicts.

Look for her in the coming weeks. Her name will probably be "Sparkly Bunny!"- that's what she went by during the weekend. Fierce I know. She is't very experienced PC gaming-wise... according to her played Half-Life deathmatch TWICE years and years ago. But she started to pick it up. Found that she likes playing the pyro most. Who knows... maybe we'll get ourselves a girl version of Rizzilio...

Sadly all of them hate Half life because its not non-stop shooting.  When they reached the plywood on the big pipe and cinderblock puzzle they said. "What! A puzzle!  In a shooter?  Did they devs smoke crack?"  Is it just be or do most console gamers have no patience.  And if they don't that would explain why CoD4 sold so well. /\ /\ /\ RANT ALERT

I mean, I would have been playing TF2 anyway (been waiting for years for it). It would have just been somewhere else had Dago not introduced me to this community. I try to get friends to play, but I am also battling the beast that is WoW.
