the mysterious tf2 blog

[Green Lantern]

so i went on the tf2.com site today and downloaded a mysterious file

<?php
error_reporting( 0);
require( 'config/config.php' );
require( 'includes/commonutils.php' );
require( 'includes/mysqlaccess.php' );

$preview = ( IS_ADMIN ? chkReq( 'preview' ) : false );

$dbConn = new CMySQLAccess( $db_host, $db_user, $db_pass, $db_db );

$query = "SELECT nId, nTitle, nContent1, nBlurb, nFakeAuthor, nAuthor, nCreated FROM news WHERE nOnTF2Blog = 1 AND nVisible = 1 AND nCreated <= now() ORDER BY nCreated DESC";
if ( $preview )
{
$query = "SELECT nId, nTitle, nContent1, nBlurb, nFakeAuthor, nAuthor, nCreated FROM news WHERE nOnTF2Blog = 1 ORDER BY nCreated DESC";
}

$results = $dbConn->QueryAndFetchResults( $query );

$posts = array();
foreach( $results as $row )
{
$author = ( empty( $row['nFakeAuthor'] ) ? $row['nAuthor'] : $row['nFakeAuthor'] );
$author = ( empty( $posterNames[$author] ) ? $defaultPosterName : $posterNames[$author] );
$posts[] = array(
'id' => $row['nId'],
'title' => $row['nTitle'],
'content' => $row['nContent1'],
'blurb' => $row['nBlurb'],
'author' => $author,
'timestamp' => strtotime( $row['nCreated'] ),
);
}


require( 'templates/home.php' );

hmmm. interesting. The team might have wanted to post something, but something else came up. I assum something new's brewing seeing as how l4d2 is out.

I noticed everyone was in a flurry on the steam forums. This block of code, however, just looks like an empty container for data, and I'm sure a lot more people see it like this than I.

Interesting; the fact that they were toying around with the live version at all is intriguing.

It's Valve messing with us again. Like always! This is actually what makes me love Valve. They LOVE to mess with their players.
