Corridor Digital’s video “Sentry Sabotage” explores very well known themes of treachery within Team Fortress 2 but it does so with unbelievable execution. I knew how this would end before I finished it the first time and I’ve already watched it a dozen times more.

Mega64 Reminds You—Painfully—That Catherine Is Not A Dating Sim
