926 new voice lines were added for the new competitive mode. Scout screams about FREAKIN' MEATSHOTS, Demo's overly confident after watching another team have a bad scrim, Heavy says 6s "is not usual job for Heavy", and Soldier asks who's pocket or roamer. (Also, Sniper says their team needs 5 more Snipers.) Medic's VA is busy voicing for The Strain so he's not present.

Bear in mind I think this is important because lore is what mislead a majority of the TF2 community to believe that 9v9/Highlander was Valve's preferred game mode ("9 classes, right! One of each character!"). tl;dr LORE HAS CHANGED, go to the other discussion threads to talk about actual gameplay shit.

Disco Fever takes me way back to this.

Didn't two players who are now married meet on tf2mingle?

Meanwhile, Stark prepares the necessities needed to make Sideshow pay him his DreamHack prize winnings...

We were talking about this a while back, I think this isn't a far off theory as much hype as a Class vs. Class update (regardless of how we as a majority might feel about them) could bring to the general masses.

Stay gold.

Dribbler dances after 5-hour boss battle.

EDIT: Here's the whole of Dribbler's final fight.

The first SFM poster I created was two Medics uberchaining.

I have a diploma in printing & graphic design. I've been trained to work on packaging & press estimating. There's like about 25% - 45% of that diploma that gets utilized for what I do nowadays? I also almost failed in my last year of college because I found TF2 and SFM. There's a lot I've missed out on because I decided to commit to live events first. I still have second thoughts to this day. But SFM was the coolest adventure I've taken, and TF2 was the most interesting way to take that adventure.

I've met so many people - friends, lovers, acquaintances, colleagues. People and players who liked the same game, characters, and story that I did who I could gel with and relate to - people from all around the world who could come together for a common interest, and support each other when necessary. A few years ago I had no belief in myself that I deserved anything good or that I'd let down people - to this day, that thought still lingers every now and then when the stakes are high. But since then, my confidence in my abilities is no longer as shaky. My self-awareness is less narrow. My name is more important than my gender. And I'm bad at this fucking game, I really am. To be honest, this was more than a game with players to me - these were the people I loved whom I didn't want to let down. That I wanted to hang out with, and learn everything from or teach things to. That I wanted to help put on a show for, or watch others put on a show for us.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this way, and I feel for those who've had less-than-pleasant experiences or attitude adjustments because of some facet of TF2. I've had anons & usernames tell me to quit TF2, quit being involved in it, that I was contributing to its death more than its life, that I needed an asylum for how much it meant to me, etc etc. I don't doubt some part of them is right. I don't doubt other people have gotten that shit too. I know what mistakes I've made, I know what decisions should not have been decided. To others, yeah, maybe it really should have stayed a game to me rather than the experience I consider it to be. Because of that, I can't say for sure that I know myself better - but for all the people I've gotten to know better, fuck it. I wouldn't change how it went down.

tl;dr shit was barely cash but it was still worth it.
