Evilgrim rarely ever swears.
Yo'.
I saw Engineering Update.
I DEMAND LINKS.
Wheeee.
Here you go.
Here's another, more relevant one.
90...98% sure that Manno link is fake. For one thing, Valve wouldn't put stuff up on a random address, nor would they advertise a server hosting company on it. Secondly, all the internal links are IP addresses, not professionally done at all. Thirdly, Valve would
never be so forthcoming with information until release day. Forthly, the fonts are off. I'm pretty sure official TF2 documents are written with a different font. Thirdly, there's
two three references to the Guard Dog. If this really is by Valve (or anyone else for that matter), they might just be pulling our chains and the dog is a clue. Fourthly, Valve doesn't use flashy flash interfaces for stuff that they can just put in a table, they're busy men up there. Lemme do a WHOIS and I'll get back to you on 5.
