Oops Valve, I Caught Your Sneaky Blog Update!

I Straddle PCG · 07-23-2009, 09:00 AM

Hey, before you click on the picture below, the story:

Basically, on my phone, I have the TF2 Blog set up to tell me if anything new is posted on the RSS feed. (Yes, call me sad, whatever, I like to catch up with the blog on the move.)

Anyway, earlier today, I checked my phone's RSS reader and had a new one in the list of articles for the TF2 blog. (This was about half an hour ago or so.) I couldn't open it on the phone, as I'm over my data usage this month, so I headed to my computer and opened up the blog. Nothing different there, so I switched to the RSS version, and almost ♥♥♥♥ed myself:

I screengrabbed it as soon as I saw it, because as we all know, VALVe love to mess with us

Lo and behold, about 5 minutes later, the blog post was gone, just like with the Spy update. My guess is they didn't mean to post it up yet.

So what do you guys reckon? Are they messing with us again? And how much do you wanna bet that part way through the update, the Engie will appear, and it'll turn into a joint update again.

Whatever, I'm buzzing

Ok time to start playing soldier. I got under 5 hours on that class

Won't spoil. But last paragraph. OMG awesome.

I'd love to know how they could put a blog post up "by mistake".

I mean you'd need to type that all up first. It's not something you could just go... whoops!

Yea I'm not convinced...

I think somebody's going to loose their job over this.

TehWoodPcker · 07-23-2009, 09:03 AM

Wow nice catch, really!
It seems too well written to be a fake.

Gunner_Guardian · 07-23-2009, 09:03 AM

God valve loves to mess with us.

They're probably looking at this laughing.

tiedie · 07-23-2009, 09:04 AM

Totally because only Valve can type correctly

Kaysakado · 07-23-2009, 09:04 AM

I'd like to see some other people confirm it before I believe it - it's not a very hard thing to fake.

Cruiser · 07-23-2009, 09:05 AM

Oh look, they realised that TFC's defensive soldier was actually quite a fun way to play.

And I do hope the king of the hill isn't progress bar based. Its an ideal mode for flag based stuff.

This, as much as I want it to be true.

G.I.R. · 07-23-2009, 09:05 AM

Nice find, shame it doesn't tell us when the update is.

Giantmarshmallo · 07-23-2009, 09:06 AM

I hope this is true, i truly do.

Lyphen · 07-23-2009, 09:06 AM

Engine upgrades makes me excited. Please let this be true - I want stable multicore!

Engrishman · 07-23-2009, 09:06 AM

If this isn't real, I will devour your firstborn and feed the carcass to the maggots.

Otherwise, this is awesome. D:
