As you may or may not know, Valve recently greated a computer game known 
only as Team Fortress 2. In this game, you can play as one of 9 
different characters - all with different weapons and abilities, and all 
heavily characitured.

One such character is the Engineer. We wears a yellow construction 
helmet and talks in a sterotypical Texus accent. Walks around carrying a 
wrench and yelling that "I need some God-darn'd help here!" and "plant 
yourself on the point, mister!"

His most notable ability is building sentry guns. These, as the name 
suggests, shoot anybody on the enemy team who walks within range. Maps 
are won or lost based on how many sentry gens a team has built, how 
cleaverly placed they are, and how effectively their team of engineers 
can keep them repaired.

Valve also released a series of videos entitled "Meet the team". One of 
them was "Meet the Engineer". In this, we see the engineer sitting on a 
rock beside his camp fire softly playing an accoustic guitar and 
describing what he does for a living. At the end of the video, the 
camera pulls out, and we discover that the camp fire has 4 sentry guns 
round it, and while the Engineer calmly sits playing his guitar, an 
entire army of enemy personnel are attempting to attack him, and being 
mowed to the ground by the sentry guns.

"and you'd better HOPE....... NOT POINTED AT YOU!"
