Totally a legit update note for a 38 mb patch.

Even Valve thinks that "Mac" is supposed to be written in all caps. I may have to take a road trip to their offices and personally slap whoever wrote that.

Yeah it looks like there might be a new ARG going on.

Pretty sure they are just tickets to redeem crates, rather having the situation we had with the robo crates where they sat in your inventory for a few weeks before the update hit and kinda knowing what was coming.

What has void been keeping secret from us?

You decide.

You should check out Adam foster's post on his Portal 1 ARG and the Portal 2 ARG: http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/AdamFoster/20130617/194321/

Namely the Fun coincidences section. This seems like just another Dinosaur Alphabet, don't get your hopes up ARG-wise. People think this is an ARG because that's what the community has been hoping for one for like the past 3 months of updates because we had one with Pyromania last year.

Thanks, that was a really fun read!

Still, the MAC is a little suspicious.

Nah. The description strings thing is a real issue that Linux users were having. (I haven't played TF2 on a Marketed-Arrogantly Computer, but I'm not surprised it has some of the same bugs.) It's kind of an odd thing to devote an entire update to fixing, but hey.

I think there is an ARG going, but i were to think there is i'd be interested in this:

Just beat the Surgeon Simulator Tf2 mission and was awarded this medic figurine and noticed there was something weird underneath it. This may be super late but I haven't seen anything about it on the internet yet and was wondering if anyone could fill me in or discuss it.

Where was this post made? I like to following any forum that has anything going on about the ARG.

I just wondered, does every odd thing Valve say makes lot of people search for possible args for hours ? Although this one seems quite ARGy, but still ^^
