2011-2012 was when stuff was happening constantly. Especially 2011. There was a biggish update every few months! MVM was 2012 and there was a ton of hype and buildup to that. It was really exciting. In retrospect 2011 was a lot of quantity over quality though. 2015 was a really solid year too.

Today marks 15 years since I first started playing Team Fortress 2. Where did the time go!?

Yes I did! Very few people have actually noticed-or at least pointed it out. I commissioned music for it specifically to sound kinda like the MM intro too!

Versus Saxton Hale is fun enough and pretty well made but the custom voice lines for the mercs ruin the whole thing for me. I cannot stand them.

Just saw someone refer to the map Landfall in TF2 as a "new Overwatch type map". A map that came out almost 10 years ago and several months before OW was even released.
I've noticed a growing percentage of the TF2 playerbase has absolutely no idea what they're talking about at any given time.

Did you know that in the blog post for the Sniper Update Day 4 it originally directly referred to Pyro as "she"?

They quickly changed it to "Pyro's going to be inconsolable now." after.

It was worth it.

This one guy was incredibly amused by the concept of taunting when playing the TF2 beta. How little things have changed.

You know, I would have thought Scout would have made his money selling all that Tom Jones merchandise. It was supposed to be worth a fortune when he died! I am genuinely pretty surprised they didn't go that angle. It felt like they were setting up exactly that when Soldier killed Tom Jones.

Still hard to believe that they randomly, out of nowhere fixed one of the oldest bugs in Team Fortress 2 just to revert it the next day.
