Looking forward to playing Orange Box (especially Portal) at Christmas. Glad I kept that game back during the games deluge over the last month or so. Something Valve is known for is publishing game stats and with Team Fortress 2 they haven’t let anyone down. Great to see how popular certain classes, weapons and map’s are. Achievements also broken down - looks like it wasn’t played that much on-line with big parties. Either that or people have no friends.

Much has been made of the source code being stolen from Valve by hackers - story can be read here. Most ironic is that most of the users making a fuss probably have a copied Windows XP, Office XP (maybe even 2003 by now) and who knows what else. Fools.
