    Cool, now if I started playing TF2 again, this might be interesting!

    Will have to give it a try when it comes out. I just got finished Mass Effect last night so you know where my time has been :D

    Valve developers are credit to team!
    Can't wait to see how this plays out - might give me an excuse to play Heavy.

    I've played almost no TF2 at all this summer. I used to play a lot this past Spring quarter though... I need to get back in it!

    Wednesday's update is out - the Killing Gloves of Boxing (KGB, har har), and the list of achievements (only names, no descriptions).

    Five seconds of guaranteed crits when you slug someone? This spells doom.
