Hey Borg, do you want your salvaged crate back? It's worth like 7 keys, but I'm gonna open it tonight if you don't want it back.

The capacitator is part of some semi-ARG thing going on.

They added a bunch of items to TF2 that reveals hidden text when you are a medic wearing the Sherlock Holmes set. They figured out the entire quote they spell is "Think of the deeds of hellish cruelty, the hidden wickedness which may go on, year in, year out, in such places, and none the wiser."

Some people think its connected to Telltale games somehow because the items all appear in various games and the descriptions seem to hint at it.

POCKET LINT: Puzzle Agent has a "Bureau of Naval Lint" in the White House. The connection is backed up by the TF2 item's description - "Is it fabric lint? Navel lint you're keeping in your pocket so you don't lose it? Naval lint brushed from the hull of a battleship?"

CHEESE WHEEL: You shoot one during a Sam & Max Season 2 driving challenge. This is backed up by the TF2 item's description - "This cheese doesn't seem so mysterious until you realize it's full of bullet holes. Somebody got to this cheese before it could talk."

BARN DOOR PLANK: The Walking Dead is notorious for what goes on in its Barn scenes.

GOLDFISH: Almost definitely Mr. Spatula (from Sam & Max).

SECRET DIARY: Belongs to the Voodoo Lady from Tales Of Monkey Island; it appears in Episode 4.

DAMAGED CAPACITOR: Is it a 'flux' capacitor? Will we need to get Back to the Future at some point?

BANANA PEEL: Fished out of a garbage can in first episode of Sam & Max Season 3, as part of the "future sight" puzzle mechanic.

The 6.22 could be a hint towards the release of Walking Dead Ep. 2 and not Summer Sale related at all.

Or maybe everyone will end up super disappointed when it isn't for Meet the Pyro!

We shall see.

Can't you guys just wait a few hours for the big update #300 this afternoon?

It'll be tomorrow, not a few hours. THERE'S A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

And it's fun to solve mysteries. If you lived in ancient times, we'd never progress as a society. "What's the point of a house when we can live in a cave?!"

If YOU lived in ancient times, you would be labeled a false prophet and would possibly be burned at the stake.

Tomorrow is 6.22. Whatever tomorrow is, it isn't the start of the Pyro update, but rather the start of something else leading to some update of some kind for some game that may or may not be TF2.

I'm going to start being really excited tomorrow. But honestly, I should start selling stuff now...

Nah man it's yours, let me know what you get. It truly is salvaged, my DELETE CRATE muscle memory kicked in and I was hovering over the trashcan icon before I noticed something different in my periphery.

Doooooooooooooog, what time's the scrim? Eh, I'm going to guess I'll need to bail since it's nearly 6 right now, and I have work I should do before the week's over. (Got tomorrow off!) Any chance we can set another scrim over the weekend?

Also, Forkball start making predictions
so we can start ruling things out.

Quick compilation post that I did for a friend on AIM:

tl;dr This is the state of tf2 right now http://www.kritzkast.com/a-very-mysterious-update

Details (GAF version):
ok
just for the record
let's put it all out there
two days ago, tf2 update: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=39049323&postcount=2035
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=39049572&postcount=2038
now, this is par for the coruse
course*
valve has been doing updates on average of once a week for the past six or so months
mostly adding new hats and misc. items to the store
there are a lot of hats in Hat Fortress 2
sometimes, the stuffy they add doesn't get implemented
and just stays on the backburner for however long amount of time
this time though, this random crap was actually droppable. I have a banana peel, goldfish, and piece of lint myself
someone felt like poking sticks at it: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=39052114&postcount=2060
but I wanted to ignore it anyway
the cheese wheel, capacitor, and the diary are apparently rarer than the rest
seven items in all
also, hats dropped for people. that was nice
then, yesterday, another TF2 update: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=39078677&postcount=2137
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=39078753&postcount=2138
no one was able to puzzle that out
however, the update from the day before had a breakthrough: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=39080979&postcount=2144
also, someone needs to buy me the Sherlock Holmes hat and pipe set for Medic. it looks great
here's the part I'm not 100% sure on, because I'm lazy, but let's keep going
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=39081105&postcount=2147
it comes from this: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=39081472&postcount=2152
an extra note: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=39082389&postcount=2154
then, breakthrough: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=39082567&postcount=2156
finally: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=39084148&postcount=2158
this looks awesome by the way: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=39084694&postcount=2160
now, a few hours ago, there was another tf2 update
people have been speculating for the past week that something will happen on update #300
which at this rate is either tomorrow or next tuesday
ok, so the seven items? one thing I forgot to mention is that they're craftable
we just can't figure out any recipe that comes from them
and after the last udpate, this happens http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=39115850&postcount=2243
someone made a great assumption: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=39116245&postcount=2249
this was the in game code http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=39115254&postcount=2229
finally, there's a good chance that we'll all be unhappy: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=39116721&postcount=2261
and since the banana errors are apparently not item specific, people are now compiling them to see what, if anything, will be assembled: http://stats.tf/banana/

Completely unedited copy/pasta, and I didn't add Accidante's spoils from the great diary trade.

Some notes:

Sniper has a few incredible sightlines. But only a few. Shut them down, and you're good. They show off only one sightline in the video, and it let's you fire straight into their intel room 5 seconds into the match.

Scouts can rule the roost. Thank god we have good Scouts.

Engineer really doesn't need to be in the intel room.

Chain capping is easy for the three jumping classes.

Three main areas are the intel room, the barn room, and the cap area. The intel room is the weakest place to be. The other 80% of the map is one big flank.

This map will give Medic's nightmares if the other team has good flankers (Soldier, Scout, Spy, and Sniper especially) that you can't counter.

I still forget the Short Circuit exists. I meant to remind thefro to try using it on Barnblitz. Still, only use it if you're setting up a Dispenser. There are only six ammo packs in the entire map, and I believe they're all medium.

The three engie spots for level 3's they show are the same three spots that I figured out when I first ran on the map by myself. Also, they all suck, but that's just my opinion. The first one is easily spammable and require that the rest of your team come to help defend. The second one is decent but is weak to the wrap around and corner spamming. The last one is extremely weak to corner spamming and will only work if the other team is unobservant. They can all only work with support from at least two or three other classes.

"Play the way your team works. If your Scout is a strong player, have him killing instead of capping, etc."

Watch this guys. Then we can play on GAF regularly.

Also, GAF Highlander is coming up next Tuesday, isn't it?

He's lying, he hits on Steam girls all the time. If I had my chat window open still I'd copy pasta what he said about some butterface girl today.
