This is very well done!

"I'm a black Scottish cyclops!"

[Mr. Analog]

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM!

[Lazybones]

I really hope they do them all. The Pyro should be interesting.

[Tonnica]

Demo man's video is my favourite of the lot so far. "ONE OF US IS GONNA SURVIVE THIS!"

Can't wait for them to do a Medic one. Love that Medic!

[Darren Dirt]

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM!

F'in awesome stuff!


lots more on YT*



Also, check out this TF2 "Pyro" video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFcZAoo4XnQ
It's really well-directed, kinda slow at the beginning (to make the last half more ROFL hilarious!) -- starting around 2:30 there's a handful of definite spit-take moments! (3:08, 5:02, etc.)


* the YT user who posted the funny Pyro mini-movie (called "Ignis Solus", for obvious reasons) has a "Meet The..." playlist





...hilarious game. What kinda specs does one need to run it decently? I'm almost halfway to considering picking it up...

COMBINED trailer video (love all the Soldier rocket-jumps!)

"QuicksilverRZ" has a handful of clips of class-specific commentary/suggestions by Valve.

[Mr. Analog]

For $49 the Orange Box kicks the butt.

What kinda specs does one need to run it decently? I'm almost halfway to considering picking it up...

Minimum: 1.7 GHz Processor, 512MB RAM, DirectX? 8 level Graphics Card, Windows? Vista/XP/2000, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection

Recommended: Pentium 4 processor (3.0GHz, or better), 1GB RAM, DirectX? 9 level Graphics Card, Windows? Vista/XP/2000, Mouse, Keyboard, Internet Connection

As Mr. Analog points out, buying the Orange Box for $50 is a good deal - it comes with Portal, three Half-Life games, and Team Fortress 2.  You can also buy just Team Fortress 2 for $30, I think.

The only downside is the upgrade most people will probably have to make to get the best out of the games.

Or an Xbox 360 which plays lag free and in 720p

Time-limited or level-limited demo downloadable? If so, I could test my gear specs since I'm borderline for most (built-in GFX, so might be less than borderline...)

I have no idea, check out Valve's download section.
