"Fixed a spy backstab exploit where you could stab a player who was not facing away from you."

I KNEW IT!!! I've been backstabbed - rather 'sidestabbed' numerous times - and went, "what the hell?!" every single time!!! (Ha! Take that, you sneaky buggers!)

A Certain CEO does not want his lazy employee's playing TF2 at work, when they should be doing the long and boring tasks of work.

You must youtube the Terry Tate OfficeLinebacker video, perfect example or for you lazy bastards.

Was one of the additions being that when you die on certain maps, you fall through the floors and into the "ether"?

I had that happening a LOT during playing time on Sunday on one of the TNR servers.

Three bits in one:

The best is how they sneak in all of the little dirty bits, into a normal commercial:

The company name was "Felcher (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felching) and Sons", and the chick that re-wrote their HR policies was from "Sanchez (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_sanchez), Steamer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_steamer) and Co."

If you're too obtuse to figure it out on your own, click on some of the links above. (May not be work safe, but it is Wikipedia... Don't say I didn't warn you!)
