Valve released a holiday set this year for L4D, L4D2 and TF2 after the Valentine day cards last year were such a success. I love these things! I just wish they weren't $15 before shipping. I didn't find the L4D related ones as funny, but the TF2 set was hilarious.









Personal Favs are the Spy in the presents, the Pyro opening his present and the Spy mistle toeing with the scouts mom. The soldier shoveling made my lol as well.

EDIT: Link to store page in case any of you want to spend $15 on paper: http://store.valvesoftware.com/

Are these targeted at any specific holidays, such as say, Christmas?

They do look pretty awesome.

I think it's easter my self. You know - making snow-men in April, have you ever done that? It's a blast.

You can't call it Christmas, nowadays, for fear of offending... well, nobody

Nice cards, but I would probably get them for collecting and not sending out.

I'll call it Christmas if I want. Sometimes political correctness is more harmful than good. (And sometimes holds a double standard)

I'm a freaking Buddhist and I still celebrate Christmas. It's a traditional holiday that isn't religious for everybody. Christmas has become one of those traditional holidays that you get out of it what you want to get out of it. If you dig commercialism - you'll go mad over spending as much as possible. If you dig generosity - you'll help the poor celebrate Christmas and aim to give. If you dig Christianity, you'll go to church and you'll pray and make it a special time in celebration of Jesus. If you dig family values, you'll make it a special family get-together - you'll probably give presents.

But...maybe that's a tangent. Sorry.

The cards look cool, though perhaps a bit over priced, though I can't think of many people who'd appreciate them - I only really know 1 Left4Dead fan, so it wouldn't be worth the money...or at least he's the only person I know that talks about it.


On that note, we need some TGC Christmas cards! I am fairly sure in the UK it's still Merry Christmas, so good thing TGC are mostly in the UK.

Well, being a Sniper in any game requires a player to find a comfy spot and be able to get mountains of kills from it.
Ever so that I play Counter-Strike Source competitively(Leagues, clan-wars, mixes, etc), I'd have to master the weapons, and even though that I hate some of them, I'll still have to use them... So, I'd need to learn how to use an AWP(Artic Warfare Magnum/Police), which is a 1-shot 1-kill weapon(Unless aimed at the leg). That, and also being able to "Clutch"(Know your enemy to successfully win the game, probably all by yourself), so you'll want to play defensive rather then running in guns blazing, so a good spot in a tunnel(Just listening to people running up around a corner) would be a good spot to hide at, if you're brilliant concealed enough to pop out and take a shot.

Ahh disappointing - no hidden past as a sniper? Double life as a secret agent type?
