Did you know that Team Fortress 2 had a backstory? Me neither. Apparently Valve's been fleshing out via comics since 2010. It's oddly interesting, and brings order to one of the most chaotic kill-a-thons in modern gaming. Still wondering what all this hat business is about... more

C'mon, I'm allowed one Halloween pun at this time of year, right? Anyway, Team Fortress 2 has had plenty of official Halloween updates in the past, whether it's been special themed maps or limited edition hats. Now a group of... more
It's been a year since Team Fortress 2's Mann Co. Store went into effect, and what an impact it's had. In that period of time, community item creators have earned some $2 million for their creative efforts, according to Valve... more

With this birthday celebration, Team Fortress is now presumably the same age as those people who call me swears when I hug them with my knife. Rather than us give Valve presents, the team has goodies in store: a hilariously a... more

In the July 18 patch for Team Fortress 2, we got a handful of the usual bug fixes, and some unusual Grockets popping up in the distance. We have no idea what these are, or what they mean. Valve has a history of doing crazy th... more

For the Über Update festivities, Valve set up Team Fortress 2 with week-long free status. I thought this was a smart idea, but not entirely unexpected, since Valve has a history of pulling such stunts. Making the full ga... more
This is just great. It's like Gmodexpo crossed Adventure Time or Rocko's Modern Life's insane randomness with Team Fortress 2. I love the Internet. I think I just Machininma'd myself. [@asalisbury's Twitter] more
On Thursday, "the biggest, most ambitious update in the history of Team Fortress 2" will go live. Valve is calling it, appropriately enough, the Über Update. In addition to the Medic finally getting his own "Meet the" vi... more
