Shame, but if it was so subtle nobody noticed then oh well. TF2 has WAAAAYYYY worse issues (horribly balanced weapons in both directions, spy in general, mannpower and passtime being forgotten despite it being such a cool mode, community servers being forgotten by most of the playerbase, a tutorial so bad that the community tells people to avoid it, the hat economy and metal inflation, wutville being a god awful map) so the pants being wrong is fine by me. -- user <candycane> is generated from /dev/urandom
