Where does that come from ? It seems like the kind of thing that would be easy to fake.

read : SOMEONE PLEASE CONFIRM THAT I SHOULD START PLAYING TF2 24/24 RIGHT NOW UNTIL MORE INFO IS OUT

Edit : just checked the wiki page for the golden wrench, it's not fake.

http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Golden_wrench

On the night of July 4th, 2010, sixteen accounted for players received the Golden Wrench after a drop was triggered by Robin. The following is the process of events according to Nineaxis, TF2 Wiki moderator and contributor.

According to him, he queried Robin Walker about whether or not the wrench was a preorder reward for another game, which it is not. Robin then invited him to play, promising more answers. After playing, Robin told him the code had a bug. A while later, Robin invited him to a server, supposedly having fixed the bug mentioned before, and proceeded to trigger the drops, mentioning that they do not drop randomly after Nineaxis asked. Shortly after, Robin left and halted any further drops, to presumably fix a bug that affected the wrenches which had been dropped.

It is rumored that only five Wrenches were supposed to drop on July 4th, however a bug in the system caused many more to drop due to lag and strange issues with the drop system. This would go a long way to explaining why the currently available wrenches share the numbers 1 through 3 with each other. Whether or not these are the only wrenches that will be dropped total is to be seen, though it is logical that more will be dropped in the coming days.

Oh wow, lovely comic, this! I can't wait to do some speculating.

Some tidbits in reply to the thread:

  • Redmond and Blutarch were in the previous halloween update already
  • Seems the not-dying-machine isn't going to be built since Engie discovers a Guns bluprint from his grandfather

So basically, a new teleporter upgrade?

If they give the Engineer a new PDA slot and have an upgrade sitting there, I suppose it could change what buildings he can make. Unfortunately, with that, you wouldn't be able to change all your buildings at once, just one. :\
 
Is it me of has a lot of items had a buggy drop or released early? such as the crit-a-cola and other misc weapons you can craft, seems fishy.

Seeing as I've gotten two pair of earbuds despite it being an OSX gift, I'm inclined to agree with you.
 
Sounds like the golden tickets from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. :lol

Also, that comic is impressive, loved the "wait, he's just dead" page. But learning more about the years before TF2 and the Mann.co history is awesome.

Fuck why is Valve so awesome?

I was thinking based on the comic a machine that, when you're in its radius, if you get killed you "revive" with 30 health or something. Once
 
Things are afoot in TeamFortress2Land, things of tease and mystery. Firstly there’s a new item: the golden wrench – a Midas weapon for the turning of people into gold – which internet boffins think might just be a clue as to the nature of the next update

I remember being pretty impressed with the graphics and art direction in this screenshot back in school. Saw it printed in a game mag or something. So cool:lol

TF2 really turned out great!

It's going to be so damned fun to be a demo man, soldier or uber medic during this update.

If your idea of fun as an uber medic is being invincible at the top of the skybox then yes, I guess so. :lol

Sniper is fun to troll engineers with.

It'll be a good week to be a pyro.

I'll probably have a blast sapping shit as a Spy, too. :lol
 
But now everybody will counter Engie, so I'll be playing Engie instead :D And I've gotten more than enough practice being offensive engie!
 
omg the engineer's grandfather faked lincoln's assassination with a hat-based trap door

that's how lincoln became the first pyro :lol

With only one class to preview I wouldn't be surprised if it hits at the end of this week.

That's what I'm hoping.

Is the new shotgun confirmed by the way? I'm kind of looking forward to it.
 
Oh god only 100 wrenches and we have to craft to get a chance at one

Looks like there is one left for today

Has anyone who got a wrench actually confirmed that it's not a random drop and they actually had to craft?

I dunno but the page says the people on the list sat around pressing the "craft it" button. So even if they got it some other way it's probably fixed by now.
 
Code: 
TF2 CANONICAL BACKSTORY

wait

the final life extension machine was created on april 14th

that's the day abraham lincoln "died"

lincoln escaped with the help of engie's grandpa and became the first pyro

but that means the current pyro is..........

on the wrench page, it implies that those who have wrenches were hitting the "craft it" button.
 
So, assuming they are giving out 25 wrenches a day through random magic...

Today: 1-25
Tueday: 26-50
Wednesday: 51-75
Thursday: 76-100

It would end on a Thursday, so...Engineer Update Thursday, with accompanying free weekend?

please please please
