Team Fortress 2 | Cheerful Ghost

Robotic Boogaloo Fan Update

I really like what Valve keeps doing with its games. Take for instance the new Team Fortress 2 update Robotic Boogaloo. After June 3rd when you play Team Fortress 2 you will get random crate drops. You can buy a key for $2.50 that will unlock it and reward you with various content created by the Robotic Boogaloo community artists. The revenue will be split amongst the artists and, I imagine Valve.

Its totally cool to see companies invent new ways to put money in artists hands and I applaud Valve for coming up with another way to do it. Checkout the Robotic Boogaloo site below and the "production drone" credits for whom participated in making it.

Timezone... Stupid autocorrect!

Hong Kong time, 12 hours difference from Eastern Standard... but because of Daylight savings I'm not sure if that's true anymore.

Oh wow. Well yeah, huh maybe a problem :D

Will you can look at my profile. 12 hour difference for me wouldn't matter.

Hint at Linux Support in Recent Update

In a recent Team Fortress 2 update there are some files that point to a possible Linux port.

http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Template:PatchDiff/October_22,_2012_Patch_%28Beta%29

This makes sense as Valve is working on bringing Steam to Linux and I imagine they will port many, if not all its titles to Linux. I still use Linux as my primary desktop operating system and less reasons to boot back into Windows the better. Still, there are SO many games in Windows I wonder if ill really ever be able to switch?

Does Linux support from Steam interest you? Do you use Linux or is it all Windows and Mac for you?

Anyone here still playing this one? It has been a bit frantic since out went free, but I still pick it up from time to time, you know, looking for hats.
