Did I mention TF2 is freaking awesome?
The new heavy update has been released today, and there is a crap-ton of stuff that came with it. One of the things released is a new "Meet the" video, where historically this video series would introduce one of the game's character classes. This time, however, we're introduced to one of the new unlockable weapon for the heavy: a sandvich.
To eat it, you basically have to not carry around your shotgun and be completely vulnerable for 4 seconds while consuming the "edible device". The upside is that you can self-heal 120 points per sandvich (a sizeable amount) between fights. Time will tell if this addition keeps the class fair and balanced versus the other classes, or if it'll be tweaked down the road a la the Backburner's health bonus.
One this for sure is Valve is one creative group of s.o.b.'s, and this addition - and video - is hilarious. This game just continues to ooze with personality. Go ahead, meet the sandvich:

PSA: TF2 Heavy update is CREDIT TO GAME
In honor of the new Team Fortress 2 heavy pack that's slated to appear today, I decided to whip up a couple of pictures in Garry's Mod. For those that play the game with me, it's no secret that I despise heavies almost as much as I despise pyros. The following is part public service announcement, part an excuse to use Garry's Mod some more, and part cry for help (someone stop me!). Click the below images for higher-resolution.
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Should you play the game in the next couple of days, you'll see a large amount of the heavy class roaming around as people try to unlock achievements.
Please, stab them. Stab them all.
Thank you.

Team Fortress 2 - new heavy pack and (fan-made) female classes picture
A little bit of Team Fortress 2 news if you haven't already heard. According to the official TF2 blog, the Heavy is slated next for upgrades in the next achievement pack. As Valve has made their process and intentions a little more open, we do know that the goal of this pack is to make the heavy more viable when he's not coupled with a medic. I can't wait!
Also, this has to be one of the coolest TF2-related things I've seen. Someone drew the female counterparts to all the TF2 classes:

Really well done and really freaking cool. The only problem I have with it is the Pyro - we still don't know if the Pyro is male or female to begin with. It's just a person in a suit with a very muffled voice (you ever try shouting through a gas mask?). It makes for one hilarious character, but still the Pyro is gender ambiguous at best.
