Good. I didn't join up yet because I have a lot of shit to do, but TF2 is still an excellent game, especially in an age of even more aggressively monetised class-based shooters with worse balancing.

The fact that a 17 year old game is still going after that kind of neglect is a true testament to how good it is.

17 years? That's not even old enough to drink!

25 freaking years?! I need a nap. Jesus Christ. This hurts. That was the game of my senior year. Now, thanks to your post not only does my body hurt, my soul hurts as well.

I'm gonna go lie down. Fucking hell.

Are you going to be on the server later? If we get 8 people we can play 4v4.

Ugh, while I agree games have too much monetization nowadays, please don't give TF2 a free pass. It paved the way for so much of what we see today.

100% agree, that's why I said "even more" aggressive monetisation. It's only less in comparison now, but it did indeed do a lot of the work paving the way, although CS probably did even more when it comes to Valve properties.
