Team Fortress 2 is getting its ARG on...

Meet the Pyro!

It's not at all what I thought it would be, but still, pretty dang awesome.

Also, there's a new blog post. Now we just have to wait for the Pyromania Update, and whatever else Valve is posting on the site for Day 3. Valve also introduced Source Filmmaker.

I thought the video was great. Sure, it won't get us a new flood of funny quotes but the animation is great! It's just a lot of fun to see how the characters move and the compositions and backgrounds are all top-notch. I really liked this one.

That was all kinds of amazing.

In the new update, you receive goggles that let you see the map from the eyes of the Pyro. The novelty wore off fast for me.

Also:
The Scorch Shot >>>>> Detonator

I also managed to craft the Scorched Crate.

The Scorch Shot >>>>> Detonator

The Scorch Shot is greater than greater than greater than greater than greater than The Detonator?

Get a free hat.

A bunch of new items were added. Any of the mysterious items users had are now ashes, and you can craft four of those into a Pile of Ash. Using the Pile of Ash will give you a Scorched Crate and possibly one of the new items. I had 16 mysterious items, and one of the Piles of Ash gave me the Beggar's Bazooka.

Pyrovision is still pretty funny, even if it isn't exactly like Meet the Pyro. Seeing someone using the Rainblower is hilarious.

You can get your very own real life Balloonicorn at The Valve Store or Think Geek.

Also, a bunch of weapons were rebalanced.

The Scorch Shot >>>>> Detonator

The Scorch Shot is greater than greater than greater than greater than greater than The Detonator?

Very.

Very.

Yeah, the Scorch Shot sounds like it would be more useful than the Detonator. The only time I used the Detonator was to try it out when I first found one.

[Erik_Twice]

I don't think either is useful because burning several players for 30 points of damage is not useful compared to the 30+90 of a normal flare*


*I don't know if the fixed the detonator bug

Looks like another update is going to happen.

This time its Man Vs Machine
