The blog.

o:

What is it???

When a soldier kills a demo or vice versa, the announcer sometimes says something about friendship.

soldier vs demo update tomorrow.

>>44142573
:3

>>44141943
I get depressed when I see this, because I find that I've been on here so long, people from all different timezones are waking up and getting this news, when I knew it 6 hours ago.

>>44142631
I've been away from my computer all day.

So.... yeah.

>>44142722
I wasn't complaining mate. I was just saying that I've been on here so long that it's scary that I've skipped most people's entire nighttimes.

When the fuck will the Engineer ever have an update? Why they gotta update the 2 most balanced classes?

>>44143019
I don't have a source, but I've heard a lot of people quoting that the engi will be the last to be updated.

That's one Valve day. We should be getting an update sometime next year!

I really hope "Friendship ends in one day" actually means "Shit'll be released tomorrow".
If they're releasing what looks like a full-fledged update this weekend, I'll forgive them for everything they've done and become a Gabe-cock sucking fanboy once more.

But yeah, well, Valve Time, etc.

engie is a fucking camp class

its good that soldier and demo are before, but it probably would have been better if they had been updated in conjunction.

this way people dont sit on their asses all day as engineer when the update finally comes, because there will be so many countermeasures to it.

OH GOD YES FINALLY SOLDIER'S TIME TO ROCK 'n ROLL!

>>44143479
They'll probably do a 5-day reveal thing.

>>44143580
I thought these always started on Monday on Tuesday?

Where are the hidden links? Don't these things usually have hidden links?

>>44143627
it's Valve.
They could shit out lightning and I wouldn't raise an eyebrow.

>>44143633
No hidden links yet. I've dug into it personally and there's nothing.

Man, I'm actually hoping this friendship kinda lasts.

Call me a geek, or idort, or whatever, but seeing even a tiny bit of story makes me happy.

>>44143791
Speaking of which, how exactly are they found? are they just hidden in the source?

>>44143833
I love you.

>>44143852
I believe so. Check the source for yourself if you like for the current things, it should be really simple to decode even without any PC knowledge.

>>44143852
click on update on blog.
press tab when you're on the update page until you find secret shit.

>>44143902
Or Ctrl+A

Know what's gonna make sum RAEG? The fact that some of the achievements are obviously going to be tied to the random "friendship detected" thing now. Who knows, maybe limited unlocks, too.

Now that I think about it, I don't believe I've ever seen any rule 34 of the announcer. So, /r/equesting rule 34 on the announcer and her assistant/intern/whoever that is.

I, for one, want more story for my cartoony shootan' game.

...please. ;_;

I would jizz forever if a TF2 cartoon or movie was made.

>>44143962
Here's hoping they'll release another Meet The Class video.

>>44143962
wait where did you get this?

>>44143957
I don't have anything saved, but I know I've seen at least one picture of her with the Scout's mom. And there are fanfics, but I don't know if you count that.

>>44143944
>limited unlocks

>>44144005

Meet The Administrator/Announcer

I'd probably cum buckets.

>>44144005
They have Pyro and Medic left to do. They will.
I believe they're having problems getting the Medic's voice actor back. However since it's the same person as Travis Touchdown, I wouldn't hold out hope for one any time soon.

>>44143962
Amazing artwork.

So those cereal box in left 4 dead...
the 10th collectable figurine.

It must be the annoucer.

I haven't played this in half a year.

I am going to be so fucking rusty when these unlocks come out.

>>44143957
That's because she's a decrepit old woman, you retard.

>>44144117
why?
is he dead or some shit?

>>44144305
No, he's working on NMH2, isn't he?

>>44144305
Not dead; busy.

>>44144357
come on, doing voice overs doesnt take for fucking ever.

>>44143957

Here, Pauling 34

These story things Valve does, like this comic. They are so incredibly atmospheric.

Oh, I got it. There will be some sorte of kill count or points between the soldier and demoman globaly (or something like that) and the one who wins gets the update first.

TO SUMMARIZE:
Zepheniah Mann (old guy who wrote the above letter and is seen laying in bed) is the founder of a weapons company that he gave to Saxton Hale's father, Barnabus Hale, when Zepheniah died. His twin sons argued their entire lives, so he gave them both equal rights over new found territory in America. The two sons feuding are the reason for all the fighting in TF2. You play as a bunch of mercenaries (equipped by Saxton Hale's company) hired by the twins to destroy the other twins industries. Guess who their mother is? The announcer

>>44144449
Oh
MY

GOD

>>44144449
If that is the case, I am going to play Demoman until I am black.

I do NOT want to start my winter break off with a fucking month of nothing but soldiers on every damn server.

>>44144459
....you idjit.

That's his MAID.
And she's the Announcer's MOTHER.

>>44144396
SHe still looks like a satyr.

>>44144459

>>44144539
What is this from???

>>44144459
>>44144459
OF COURSE!
Giving all his fortune to the Hales would have united the 2 brothers against a common foe.
Instead he wanted to make them miserable like they did with him when he was alive.
So he gave them each a piece of the pie and let them argue over it forever while they each wasted over time their entire heritage which would be slowing going towards the same man. Hale.
His wife saw that the masquerade kept going.

I find it a little bit scary how the fan made work of what the announcer would look like, is almost exactly what was shown in that comic. :|

they probably are gonna give them new weapons along with the healthy competition, which will probably be about explosive projectiles...

"they met at the projectile weapons expo."

>>44144734
It's Valve's own design.

>>44144734
Valve loves letting fans do the doity work, it's how TF2 started.

>>but the only difference from the fan concept is the colors

>>44144749
maybe demoman gets either a shotgun or some projectile rockets, while solider gets grenades?

>>44144941
TEAM GRENADE 2

>>44144785
You're only correct on the technicality that Valve hired the Deviantartist that originally drew that art.

It was fanmade until Valve bought the artist.

>>44144734
They apparently loved how the artist drew up the Announcer and kept the design. They just added a few adjustments like the white stripe in her hair and her purple uniform.

>>44144873
I love that's she's wearing a purple top and a red-purple bottom.

>>44144459
I think that the announcer is Elizabeth.

>>44144941
>solider
This is not Ragnarok Online. Even though it is/was awesome.

>this thread

I don't know what to think anymore...

>>44143962
what, you haven't unlocked storymode yet? slowpoke

>>44145110
I think your timescale is off, decendant of Elizabeth maybe.

>>44145188
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD.
I made that pick.

I feel full of win right now.

Just so that there isn't any confusion, the dog in the photo had its brain preserved and was integrated into Alyx's DOG robot. Also the guy in the far right of the photo is actually G-Man, who is referred to in the letter in the obscured section about secrets.

>>44145895

Also the shotgun held by Barnabas Hale is Annabelle, Father Grigori's shotgun. You should also note that he fought in WW2 as he has a DOD:S trench knife or bayonet on his person. The Announcer eventually funds Aperture Science through her exploitation of RED and BLU's feud. Aperture utilises her personality and voice in the A.I. "GLADDOS", unfortunately a bug results in it becoming outright homocidal and voice becomes more chipper.

>>44146133
Shall I assume Pauline's great-granddaughter, what with being in their blood to be a lackey, is Overwatch for the Combine?

>>44146457

Definitely. When Scout grows up he also buys a beam sword off eBay and uses it to become an assassin, but I don't think its been confirmed by Valve yet.

>>44143019
DEMOMAN BALANCED? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>implying he isn't.

>>44146662

Demo used to be major OP, but he's been nerfed so hard I don't think you can still call him OP.

>>44147081
>>44146770
>>44146662
Sorry what? I couldn't hear you over the sound of one stick bomb killing my heavy.

>>implying the demoman is in ANYWAY balanced, you fucking fools

>>44147230
This anon speaks the truth.

>>44147230
He's not that bad, it all depends.

when i stop getting killed by a single pipe/sticky from full fucking health he wont be OP.

THIS iS FUCKING INTERESTING I CANNOT SLEEP UNTIL NEXT BLOG UPDATE
