YAY! My first every thread about a tf2 blog post! Woooo! TF2 HAS BEEN RELEASED FOR MAC!

http://teamfortress.com/post.php?id=3929&p=1

http://www.teamfortress.com/macupdate/

We'd originally planned to tease out today's update over the course of 19 deviously brain-twisting blog posts, each containing a mercurially complex riddle hinting at the nature of the update. Unfortunately, everybody seems to have cracked the subtle rhyming codex embedded in our first blog post, which was actually supposed to be the most unsolvable of the 19.

So anyway. Team Fortress 2's available on the Mac now.

Or is it?

No, it is. Sorry, that was Riddle #17. It seemed a shame to let it go to waste.

As part of the celebration, TF2 will be FREE to play all weekend, and 50% off to purchase. We've also got a little treat for anybody logging into the game from a Mac.

Heres the youtube version of the trailer :) (First youtube video on this and released by me, try and get this to 1 million views so then mines the most popular... until the machinima channel comes and steals my thunder!)

I think its something to do with the pyro, at the bottom you can see a foot thing and it looks like the pyros shoe.
 
This is so nice. I'm DL-ing right now, so I haven't seen the new interface but I assume it will be cool.

Also an official practice mode is nice (I guess they had to put it in for the leetle mac babies).

Even though I'm a die hard PC/Linux fan, it'll be nice to have this be one of the first A-List titles on the mac. Sure will increase the userbase a bit.

(Wearing earbuds is going to be epic trolling, like the halo x1000, so don't be surprised if they get banned.)

really of people are going to troll about stupid earbuds and the kinda computer they use they should be dragged out on the streets and shot
 
I'm glad the earbuds are able to replace the Gibus' that I'm wearing. I've been dying to replace them with something that's not a halo.

I'm also DLing right now. Can't wait to get them and try the new stuff. =D

Yes actually hes been playing on the Mac for a long time. Something about syncing them together or something weird like that. His signature used to say "Sgt. McAwesome: probably the only one in eGO who plays on a Mac."
 
Screw talking about the Mac... I mean sure, it's nice and all, but....

Why aren't more people talking about the possibilities for the shotgun, and the blueprint in the back where the soldier is fondling some hats?

My thoughts: engie update is coming very, very soon. Maybe starting on Monday, after the free weekend. Maybe finishing next weekend, for TWO free weekends in a row.

*girlish glee*

Get a hold of yourself man. I dont think the engi update will be out till the end of the month, they released this update and what follows next is valve trying to fix all the complaints of mac users everywhere. After that is the engi update imo.
