Everyone has been asking why I haven’t posted the meet the scout vid yet.

Well, I had a bit of a family thing at the last minute - my Grandad died. He was 80, and a great guy. He had lived a good life, was mentally and physically sound, but he was old and that wouldn’t have lasted much longer. It was just his time. He went out quickly and with his dignity with a sudden heart attack. Everyone thought that was much better than slowly decaying over the next decade or so and causing pain for him and the family. He was much loved and there must have been at least 400 people at the funeral.

So I had to book a last minute flight back home to see him off, and now I’m staying with relatives in non-broadband land. This is about the first time I’ve been online.

Apparently Valve has spies watching me, and knows that the only time they can get away with big news releases is when I’m not around to poke fun at them, cause as soon as I was under internet radio silence, they pumped out the Latest Meet The Team Vid:

Meet The Scout.

So until I get somewhere that transfers faster than 3kb/s, I won’t be watching it for a while. But it’s Valve, so I’m sure it’s all good.

The always hilarious Yahtzee of Zero Punctuation fame has cranked out one of his trademark reviews for the Orange Box and its contents over at The Escapist.

His reviews are basically one of the funniest things on the internet, so its well worth a watch.
