Meet the Spy, one of nine playable character classes in Team Fortress 2: He is a puzzle, wrapped in an enigma, shrouded in riddles, lovingly sprinkled with intrigue, express mailed to Mystery, Alaska, and LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU! but it is too late.

Football Manager Live is now out on Steam for just $21.99 for a 4 month subscription. I picked it up when it was released and it has been fun so far. I haven’t played any games yet, just learning new skills so I can make my team better. The season starts up tomorrow, should be fun. You can buy it from the FM Live Steam page.

The newest “Meet the…” video for Team Fortress 2 has been leaked out – Meet the Spy. I can’t wait to watch it in HD, this is my favorite Meet the video yet. Read more to watch the video.
