CultureValve Probably Never Expected Anyone To Solve This TF2 Equation
“We’re not bread.” It was supposed to be a throwaway gag in Valve’s official video for Team Fortress 2‘s Love and War update, which launched almost a year ago. Yes, a year. It’s a video in which the whole cast is certain they’re going to die, so I suppose it’s only fitting that fans saw…
