Do you hear that? That ominous, otherworldly silence? That’s what we in the game biz call the calm before a storm. And keep listening… do you hear that distant rumble? We call that thunder. It happens during a storm whenever it’s not quiet.
All of these portents can only mean one thing: Something big is happening. The fact that everybody else on the team keeps telling me that it’s only weather, and that weather can’t talk to you, tells me they’re all in on it. (And possibly not human? More on this later.)
Perhaps it’s the upcoming Polycount Pack update making the hair on the back of my neck stand up, and the Australia-shaped hair on my back matte itself back down, since it means we’ll be shipping the best of the amazing Polycount Contest entries. Be glad you’re not one of us, forced to order that list of magnificent items into some kind of hierarchy. Maybe we’ll just announce they’ve all won first place.
Or maybe it’s the release of the Official TF2 Wiki that’s made weather choose me as its emissary on Earth. Developed by the administrators of the unofficial TF2 wiki, it’s a perfect place to find out everything you ever wanted to know about TF2, but were too afraid to type into Google. Head over there and see if you can help them out. If you’re a useful enough contributor, the weather might talk to you too. It might even point out which of the people on your team aren’t real humans. Then we could compare notes.
Or maybe, just maybe, it’s something else entirely.
