Team Fortress 2 Spy Update!

Team Fortress 2 is a great game. I don't know about you, but I love it. Beyond its cartoonish looks, there's an impressive amount of real time tactics that you need to employ to overwhelm your enemies, and the best part of it all is that you need to continuously adapt your style to that of your enemies, as well as to that of the other team members fighting by your side.

When talking about classes that made you talk dirty most frequently after being killed, my first choice is - obviously - the spy. After all, being sniped ain't such a shame, but being stabbed in the back... that's a little different story!

"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. You're dead. For he is the Spy—globetrotting rogue, lady killer (metaphorically) and mankiller (for real)."

If I counted them well, there are no less than 34 achievements for the spy character to unlock in Team Fortress 2, and you can find them all here. Just be sure not to miss the video - if you didn't manage to take a look at it yet, of course!

Just as a final note - it's also worth a laugh taking a look at the "Valve Corporate Achievement" they just unlocked by releasing the movie via YouTube earlier than it should have been...
