Abraham Lincoln is the Pyro.
It all makes sense now.

Engineer will break you in half.

By God. These are just getting better and better. If the Polycount Update doesn't include the Engineer Update I will personally break Gabe in half.

Holy crap that is so awesome!

Also mac update officially non-canon, at least they admitted it!

[Volug]

Does that mean the shotgun isn't real? D:

There goes my dreams of a Saxton Hale beat em up game.

[Smiling-Jack]

It's a teaser, it's very possible that it is or isn't.

Also, did I fall asleep for 3 years or did Valve actually make three blog posts within four days...?

This is a serious question!


EDIT: actually it's more than "very possible" it is certain that it is or isn't, oops...

I don't think it's physically possible to make Gabe break in half. It'd be like trying to shatter jello.

[xp194]

Whelp. I'm intrigued. Apparently the whole Population of Australia in TF2-land is made of SAXTON HALE and SAXTON HALE-ETTE alikes.

And the 'immortality machine' has, according to the Engie's Grandfather's notes, been built three times. Once for Blutarch Mann and once for Redmond Mann... so who'd be the user of the third? The Announcer?

Oh man, STALKER, you have the best music on your radios

Say Team Fortress was Hercules. Our class updates would be all of those times that Hercules fought gorgons or suplexed an evil king into a mountain. The Apple update would be like the time Hercules enjoyed a jalapeño popper platter at Applebees.

I really like this analogy.

[Dread Cthulhu]

Hmm. The obvious propaganda painting of Blutarch, Redmond and Mann is signed by a Nick F.

Wonder if that'll become releOH MY GOD L4D2 CROSSOVER

[Surrealistik]

Can't wait until the next X-Com stream. Watching myself die repeatedly has never been more fun!

[NeoVid]

So, the original team of Blu mercenaries included Nikola Tesla, John Henry, Abe Lincoln, Fu Manchu and Davy Crockett...

I really really really want to see more of that era of TF2.

[Dread Cthulhu]

Scout saw it coming.

Also, third not dying machine is listed on the sheet on the last page.Made April 14th.

Just gonna throw this out there; Abraham Lincoln died on April 15th.

Well, there's probably a Sectoid terror mission coming up sometime.

Should be "fun".

[tarbrush]

Which terror mission has Chrysalids in? The trauma has made me forget.

Snakeman.

Sectoids have mind control and Cyberdisks.

So...
Do I buy Borderlands, or not?
Gamers in the playground, I seek your advice!

How buggy is STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl? Because I might skip it and buy call of Prypiat instead.

[Player_Zero]

I didn't notice any bugs when I played it at all. But my computer is fairly powerful. Imbued with the souls of fifty virigns and whatnot. Rubbed the CPU down with cheetah blood for extra fastness too.

[Bryn]

Don't do this! I've only played the first but everyone says Call of Pripyat is much worse. In any case, it shouldn't matter since there are several huge mods floating around which probably fix most of the bugs.

Speaking of mods, I just grabbed Dragon Age. Does the playground know of any good ones to apply to it? Or would I be fine just playing vanilla?

[Fawkes]

Remember when I was telling you guys how my friend's sister was working with Valve?

Yeah. Enjoy the comic.

[surikesu]

You should get Borderlands if you know three people that you can run through it with. Its good with a full group, but otherwise it's not worth getting.

Half the fun is fighting over the loot.

The original BLU team was assembled by Blutarch Mann in the 1850's in an attempt to claim all of the land bequeathed to him and his brother, Redmond, by their father. Unfortunately for Blutarch, it appears that the original RED team was assembled at the same time, leaving both siblings at a stalemate. The original team consisted of the same ten classes as the current organization. The Scout (Henry McCarty ) took on the appearance of a young cowboy, complete with spurred boots. The Soldier (Stonewall Jackson) dressed like a member of the Confederate Army, utilising a rifle, prior to the invention of the rocket launcher. In keeping with tradition, the Demoman was a one-eyed dynamite-loving mercenary. Unlike his modern Russian counterpart, the Heavy (John Henry) preferred to put his enemies out of commission with a monstrous sledgehammer, whilst the Sniper (Davy Crockett) partnered his trusty rifle with a coonskin cap. Prior to his appointment as President of the United States, the Pyro (Abraham Lincoln) used an experimental flamethrower to aide his comrades in battle. BLU team's Medic appeared to retain his contemporary's love of the bonesaw, whilst the team's Engineer (Nikola Tesla), was forced to make do with a satchel of BLUprints, rather than a PDA. Finally, the Spy (Fu Manchu) eschewed a balaclava in favour of a domino-mask and sinister moustache.

whaaaaat. 10th class?
Also, why doesn't Sniper have a mustache? He's an australian!
