'Ey, Nice Job There Hardhat

So yesterday I was doing what I usually do at home. Playing video games, eating, Youtube, manga, and the reviewing things in my little black book.

I then watched this video on Youtube.—>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAoJWRymot0

Which in turn led me to this video—-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJLtEqioFKw&feature=related

And this video—->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJCfaEET4Vk&feature=related

From what I could tell, 'Gang Garrison 2' is basically Team Fortress 2. Except it's in 2D and now a side scroller of sorts. The characters and map are also rendered in 8-bit. Also it plays online and is completely free. And apparently the main server is in central Canada. YAY CANADA!

So I went over to the website to read up more about this game. For those interested the link is here.

After reading bits here and there I decided to download the game. 11.7 MB wasn't that big so, yeah. I extracted all the files, created a folder to hold all of the files, created a short cut of GangGarrison.exe, and I was playing in the next few minutes. The game started up like TF2, except in 8-bit with 8-bit music, and I was at the main menu. Went to options, changed my player name, and I was playing.

I like the game. A lot. Though it won't be as good as TF2, the game will still have a long way to go. So I decided to make this small tutorial.
