How you found TF2

[Kyle]

How did you find out about TF2? Did you buy an orange box when it was brand new, stumble across one of the millions of Youtube videos of it, or play it at a friend's house? Discuss that here.
I personally found out about this game nearly 4 years ago from this video by OMFGninja, but despite learning about the game from him I was never too interested in playing spy a lot.

I think when I was 13 or 14 or something I was playing secondlife, I asked some friend in the game about it and they told me about needing steam to get it, I checked it all out, bought the game and have been playing it since.

Actually I bought myself the Orange Box because I wanted to play Portal and Half-Life 2. I wasn't a big fan of Multiplayer Shooters and I tried it in 2008, but never really got into it. I came back in 2011 and somehow I liked it alot more, probably because alot patches since that date made it so much more interesting. That was also when Meet the Medic was released and I started contributing to TF2 Wiki. Since then I am stuck to this game.

Funny when you consider I only wanted to play Portal 1 and Half-Life Episode 1&2 from that Box.

My brother wanted me to try it but i said "hell no i'm not a nerd who plays video games". Then a few months later he showed me how to build an engie nest, i got hooked.

I hate to say it but this is true...

I found out about tf2 through "funny" GMod videos when I was slightly younger.

The "Meet the Classes" videos drove me crazy for over 2 years before I finally got a computer strong enough to run TF2.

 

[Pengy]

was debating on buying it, then saw there was an update coming so i figured i'd wait until after the update to buy it so i could download everything at once



after the update, buying it was no longer an issue (but i didn't get the wwi hat :()

I saw the "Meet the Spy" trailer on my Lego Starwars game when I was young and thought it was the hottest shit so I watched it over and over until seeing the other ones on youtube.
Once my mom got a laptop for Christmas I basically stole it all day to play TF2.

Watched videos around when the Spy v Sniper update and went apeshit over the Dead Ringer for some reason. Spent hours and hours on the 360 version (god help my soul) after stealing my brothers orange box and was on it daily after getting my laptop that could barely run it at 30 fps. This game was a hell of a time though.

I seen Rubberfruit's videos somehow ages ago and had to wait until 2012 for a PC powerful enough to run the game. Eventually I ran into Rubberfruit in game and got my ass kicked. 10/10.

I got steam About a year ago. The only game I played was Garry's Mod. I got bored and haven't played that game for a while. After like 7 months, my uncle showed me these two games called Unturned and Team Fortress 2. After downloading them, the only game I played was Team Fortress 2 after that. I got so addicted to this game, I spent more than $120.

 

[StantoMacGuffin]

Bought a retail copy for my birthday in 2008. Didn't actually start playing until 2010, glad I did though, I've met some amazing people in this game.

 

[shoooooooooooooooo]

like most of the games i play, @EatMyMaymays showed it to me.

and like all of those games, i was instantly better at it then he was.

I used to hang around a Fusionfall forum and one of the regulars started talking up TF2 and I was like "sounds pretty fuckin neato" and so I installed, uninstalled, and then reinstalled because nobody ever escapes.

 

[Katpolice]

Started using steam about an year ago. Back then, I was playing Unturned with friends. Then, we got bored and started play tf2.
