We Turned 20 Today!

[tf2.com]

Team Fortress turns 20 today, and that means we're celebrating! Jump in a game and enjoy hats, cake, beach balls, presents, confetti and more cake! And if that wasn't enough for you, you can annoy your teammates and enemies alike with the screeching sounds of full-on birthday joy. Remember, you can always use a new hitsound.


And as long as you're remembering things, remember that we couldn't have come this far without you! So when you think about it, it's kind of your birthday today too. What we're saying here is August 24th is all of our birthdays. And in a more accurate sense, what we're trying to say is that August 24th is Steve Guttenberg's birthday. Happy birthday, Steve.

Geez, Team Fortress is 20 years old? No wonder Valve is trying to kick it out of the house.

Want to know something else that's crazy? Valve is also 20 years old today.

Apparently they started the same day that TF Software Pty. Ltd released Quake Team Fortress.

Now that's 3 birthdays- Wait. That's why Half Life 3 WILL be released! Or i'm just making a joke here. (But still, Half Life 3 will be released sooner than 9 years.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO:
Steve Guttenburg
TF Quake
Valve
And tf2maps.net members Chuggoth and Milk Man. That makes it 5 birthdays now!

This is the second time they've made the Steve Guttenburg joke.

Same image as 2012, too.

I am 32. I bought quake the day it came out. I still remember the first time I played quakeworld and played Team fortress. It was hard to believe that I was 12 and was about to start the 7th grade.
