Sydney Opera House?
This was hilarious, unlike Jimmy Fallon's Late Night.

Conan is still as good as ever though.
@jarhead - Goddamn it, the joystiq the comment system seems to suck...

Valve should have done more to protect their reputation with the console versions but to be honest, as you said, the PS3 version was doomed from day one.

I myself own TOB on 360 and it really is nothing compared to the PC version of TF2, right now TF2 without the unlockables and thousands of custom maps would be impossible to imagine.

Bascially, for Valve games, just buy it on steam. If your computer isn't up to scratch then you should look up upgrade it cheaply (I built my current computer for TF2 for a TOTAL of AU$400 over a year ago and cun run everything on max).

For everyone's information Team Fortress 2 is free to play right now on steam as there is a free weekend. Try it out.

Yes, the PS3 version wasn't even published by Valve. It's the most glitchy, worst ported and the worst version by far.

Do yourself a favour and pick up TF2 on steam again when they drop the price to $10 during their sales or at least try it on a free weekend It is the best multiplayer game of all time in my opinion.
@mark WRONG, it is a MANDATORY system which is meant to slow down the internet by up to 87%. Checkout the GetUp! website.

Anyway, it is never going to get passed through the senate.
I though it was pretty good.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What's the best gaming laptop for under 1,500 bucks? I had my eye on the P7805u (Gateway), but it seems Best Buy has run out for the time being. Also, as a secondary question, I like the specs on brands such as iBUYPOWER and CyberPower and the like, but are they reliable? I'm a little worried about buying labels that aren't huge like Dell, Gateway, etc. Thanks!"
