  • MikeyMoose, on 02/18/2009, -1/+192The link goes to the blog and not the actual "Scout Update" page:

  • marlb0r0, on 02/18/2009, -7/+166Sham Wow!
  • mattyboy555, on 02/18/2009, -4/+155From the actual scout update:

    "You Scouts are gonna love this highly collectible bat that smacks baseballs at the other team, stunning the living crap outta anybody dumb, slow, drunk, mute or Australian enough to get in the way."

    LOL Australian.
  • arch3r, on 02/18/2009, -3/+112"Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines and brotha, I hurt people."
  • plaguepony, on 02/18/2009, -2/+102MY BLOOD. HE PUNCHED OUT ALL MY BLOOD.
  • Daemastrius, on 02/18/2009, -2/+93WTF are you doing without it.

    PS: Get the PC version. Free updates, custom maps and servers, and add-ons.

    The nice thing about TF2 is that it will run on just about any computer.
  • NRay7882, on 02/18/2009, -4/+86This has to be one of the most inventive FPS additions ever. Totally tops the Sandvich, IMO.

    Hey knucklehead, I'm talkin' to you!
  • Infowarsdotcom, on 02/18/2009, -3/+63Slow = Heavy
    Drunk = Demo
    Mute = Pyro
    Australian = Sniper

    Dumb = Soldier?
  • diggB, on 02/18/2009, -1/+59Valve = crazy awesome goodness
  • PhoenixAvatar2, on 02/18/2009, -1/+51It's twenty bucks. Only twenty bucks. This game has more content than almost any FPS and even a year and a half after release it's more alive than most FPS's after launch. There is no reason not to get this game.
  • LilJimmyNordin, on 02/18/2009, -8/+56WE REQUIRE MORE VESPENE GAS
  • Daemastrius, on 02/18/2009, -3/+47... that's delaying the valve team from working on TF2
  • Kitarist, on 02/18/2009, -0/+42Now i really need to buy TF2
  • inactive, on 02/18/2009, -3/+42You followin' me camera guy?
  • Joest23, on 02/18/2009, -0/+37Wave goodbye to your secret crap, dumbass!
  • Raesear, on 02/18/2009, -1/+37Biography:
    In his former life as a tracker of dangerous game in the unforgiving Australian outback, the Sniper would spend months by himself. Prolonged isolation taught him a valuable lesson: You don't have to rely on other people if you never miss.
  • raleel, on 02/18/2009, -1/+37lol, i hadn't thought about it, but ya, that guy is just like the sham wow guy. that's awesome.

    Maybe pulling out the sandman and he says "I dunno! It practically sells itself!"
  • Modiga, on 02/18/2009, -0/+33The blog says that the devs (a few of them, including Robin Walker are Australian) thought the accent was as convincing an Australian one, as the Medic's is German or the Demoman's is Scottish. I think it adds to the comedy.
  • Pfkninenines, on 02/18/2009, -5/+37Dumb - Fill in the blank (Heavy comes to mind..)
    Slow - Fill in the blank (Heavy comes to mind..)
    Drunk - Demoman
    Mute - Pyro?
    Australian - Sniper
  • inactive, on 02/18/2009, -0/+31True story: The ShamWow guy (Vince Offer) not only looks like the Scout, but in 1999 he made a movie in which he plays a guy in a baseball cap that bats people's heads off.

    It's kinda spooky.

    "Doc, c'mon man!"
    "Say goodbye to your kneecaps chucklehead!"
    "Yeah why don't you come over and say that to my face, tough guy."
    "I'm not even winded!"
    "Play ball!"
    "I'm gonna headbutt ya! I'm gonna headbutt ya! I'm gonna headbutt ya!"

  • downneck, on 02/18/2009, -1/+32You're gonna love my nuts!
  • emjaymj, on 02/18/2009, -0/+30It's worth shelling out the extra $10 for the Orange Box just for Portal alone. The fact that you get HL2, Lost Coast, and Episodes 1 and 2 as well is just icing on the cake, even if you already have some/all of them.
  • DarkSpartan, on 02/18/2009, -3/+31Soldier's not dumb, he's just absolutely crazy.
  • Joest23, on 02/18/2009, -2/+30Then, he used his fight money to buy two of every animal on earth, and then he herded them onto a boat, and then he beat the crap out of every single one!
  • homer4199, on 02/18/2009, -8/+34WHO TOUCH MY GUN!!!!
  • MeatyVitamin, on 02/18/2009, -2/+25 NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED
  • josephohsnap, on 02/18/2009, -3/+24Now thats what I am talking about! BOINK!
  • crazyhorse13, on 02/18/2009, -2/+23HA!
  • DantheMan1107, on 02/18/2009, -2/+23Lol so let me get this straight, you can't shell out $40 for a one year gold supscription, yet you buy a $2000 laptop?
  • Tophillious, on 02/18/2009, -2/+23YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS
  • MeatMountain, on 02/18/2009, -1/+22"Mostly because I use a mac."

    I've identified the problem.
  • KublaiKhan, on 02/18/2009, -1/+22And he even wears the same headset microphone. The similarity is uncanny.
  • crazyhorse13, on 02/18/2009, -0/+20And from that day forward any time a bunch of animals are together in one place it's called a ZOO!






    ...unless it's a farm!
  • Powerfan5000, on 02/18/2009, -4/+24Dumb is probably the soldier and slow would be the heavy.
  • qwertycopter, on 02/18/2009, -4/+22Many people have speculated that the scout update has actually delayed the L4D update, which was originally slated for a Christmas release. Now we have to wait until "sometime in spring." I love TF2, but if either of the games needs new content, it's L4D.
  • XBSHX, on 02/18/2009, -2/+20THIS IS JIMMY!
  • tkeajax, on 02/18/2009, -1/+19I love the demo class. It's not an easy kill. I am currently writing a letter to my Congressman about the situation.
  • qwertycopter, on 02/18/2009, -12/+30Now, about that L4D update...
  • inactive, on 02/18/2009, -1/+19but it will be made available Tuesday, February 24... until then - cry some more.
  • mugicha, on 02/18/2009, -1/+18Camp? It's a defensive class. That's like accusing the Sniper of camping. They're supposed to hold down the fort while the rest of the team pushes forward.
  • ParticleMan420, on 02/18/2009, -0/+17integrated graphics cards suck for ANY game anyway.

    thats like saying "its a great racetrack, but my Neon cant keep up w/ the F1 cars"
  • jgtg32a, on 02/18/2009, -4/+20because of stupid people who don't watch where they are walking keep getting blown up, and they whine a lot.
  • Logal, on 02/18/2009, -0/+16It's not Wednesday till Valve says it's Wednesday.
  • Infowarsdotcom, on 02/18/2009, -0/+16http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=han3AfjH210&fea ...

    I don't know...maybe that part where he says he's a "black, Scottish, cyclops?"
  • crazyhorse13, on 02/18/2009, -0/+16You call that breaking my spine? You RED team ladies wouldn't know how to break a spine ifAAAH MY SPINE!
  • bastardo, on 02/18/2009, -0/+16Are you serious?

    Unless you mean on 360... I don't think anyone plays TF2 on the 360. On the PC, it's a rather healthy game.
  • Brentg7, on 02/18/2009, -0/+15Everyone gets owned by pyros at close range.
