    "The only downside here is that PC gamers appear to have been left behind. But you're getting used to this level of disappointment, right PC gamers?"
    In terms of Valve, this seems to be somewhat of a role reversal if us PC players are being neglected in favour of consoles! (Aah, the many tales of XBox TF2... How I'm glad I haven't had to deal with that mess of a system. [Not the console itself, just how little that game's been updated on the console])
    I'm slightly more bothered about England being left out - at least stick up a few posters around London for it!

    @Slanzinger: TF2 hasn't been updated on the consoles because they don't have enough RAM.

    All those hats and new weapons take up space and vanilla TF2 already uses every ounce of RAM the consoles have. #left4dead2

    @munkeypants: Wat?

    Consoles could totally do hats...it's all specialized RAM anyway. It doesn't take that much memory space to load a hat model anyway. It just all needs to be optimized. It's that that they are not willing to do. #left4dead2

    I imagine the reason that there's no PC-centric prize is because it'd be pretty hard to find an appropriate prize of matching value other than perhaps....a custom case??

    I'm not butthurt in any way though, I wouldn't mind winning the 360 and I'm sure many other PC gamers feel the same. #left4dead2

    @-MasterDex-: How badass would a custom PC with a custom L4D case be though?

    But at this point, your right I don't mind. I don't care. Nobody gives a shit about PC gamers anyway. At least the game is getting released same day with all the features right? :D...wait right D: #left4dead2

    @ZombieK: It might be hard to give away signed copies of a game that will be downloaded by most people.

    Anyway, if a PC gamer wins this competition or the runner-up prize, there's nothing stopping them from ebaying the shit out of it for a crazy and overvalued price! #left4dead2

    It's quote possible that Fake Newell is actually a Valve Employee.
    And as long as fake accounts don't hurt or damage the reputation of the person they are faking they aren't that bad.
    There's a fair few good fake accounts, good for the lulz. #twitter

    I have avoided Twitter at all costs - really, most social networking sites are annoying. Even Facebook has become disgustingly distorted from what it was originally. The days it was exclusive to college students were when it was worth having, but now that it's open to everyone, it's
    a pain.

    It'll be interesting to see if this fake Newell responds in some fashion. Hopefully Kotaku will post when victory is at hand :) #twitter

    @Akihiko: When I first got a Facebook (back when it was only for college students), I got it because it was like a classed-up Myspace (which I've always hated). I could keep in contact with friends, upload pictures, and join random groups. It was mostly pointless, but I kept with it. And it was alright.

    And now a few years later, various family members are my "friends," people of all ages are in, and it feels like everyone is playing Farmville, which is just so damn stupid.

    I still have it, but it's so different from what it was when it started.

    As I see it, Twitter is still what it was when it was started, but all I see there is a way for people to tell other people the mundane aspects of their life, which no one actually cares about, but they act like they do so that maybe someone, somewhere, will care about them. #twitter
