Lucky PAX attendees are getting the chance to play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive right now, but if you’re like me and missed out on a chance to go, Valve was kind enough to release a new trailer to show us what we’re missing.

Most of the video is a series of quick flashes of action and a few showpieces for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive‘s visuals, but Valve also dropped some new information in the trailer: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive will have cross-platform play.

Just what that means exactly is unknown right now. The PlayStation 3 version of Portal 2 had Steamworks support and allowed for cross-platform play, but Microsoft imposes restrictions on Xbox Live that, at least for now, block Steamworks from being integrated in the same way.

This may not necessarily mean that the Xbox 360 will be left out of cross-platform play, though. We’ll send a note over to Valve and let you know as soon as we hear back.

Until then, check out the debut Counter-Strike: Global Offensive trailer below.

Brad explained that the Jolie-Pitt Christmas is not full of “pressure to make [the children] big or expensive gifts,” but then again, the kids surely aren’t going without! He claimed that “The kids don’t ask for big gifts for the reason that they don’t see a lot of the American cartoon television, which is packed with all those manipulative commercials for big toys that look so fantastic.” 

He also took the time to extoll the virtues of having a multicultural family, saying “I look down at the family and I see our boy from Vietnam, and our daughter from Ethiopia, and our girl’s from Namibia,and our son who’s from Cambodia, and . . . they are all brothers and sisters, man. They are all the same blood.” 

Continuing, Brad commented that “It is such elation to see them all living together, and getting along together, and to know that we were able to give them a home — in some cases, to give them a life. It’s a wonderful thing that we are able to do this because of the jobs we have — and it’s a selfish thing, too, because the rewards are extraordinary.”

Okay– we get it! Does anyone else feel like Brad and Angelina are beating a dead horse when they do these interviews? It’s cool to get personal details, but hearing where the kids are from– again– feels suspiciously like “interview filler.”

At least Brad admits that he’s been “dragging” his famly from place to place, and that they are ready to “give them a break.” Finally!
