Weeeee TOB is looking great.
I'm really excited, as this'll be an easy way to jump into the HL storyline without having to do much by way of throwing around money or time.

Does the HL series have that cool of a single player? Typically I hate single player, simply because I don't like playing by myself, especially when mp is available, but I hear so many cool things about playing HL on sp that it makes sense to go for it.

I dissagree, tf2 to me is one of the most fun mp's there. It totally captures the spirit of tfc.
OMG, three days until the games come out. I keep punching myself in the stomach to tear myself away for spoilers in trailers. I have the games preloaded and they are taunting me in my games list.

So I have a bit of a predicament here...
I know that this is supposed to be primarily played on PC. I want to get it on PC. But I'm not sure with my rig, if it would be worth it, or just get the 360 version.
Will this:
AMD X2 3600+
7600GT
1 gig RAM...
run TF2 fine?
