I just don't understand the obsession with TF2. It's an okay game and all, but why does every nerd out there see fit to make shitty web comics and fan art?

Well, what Meech posted was official Valve uh...comics.
Here's my theory, and this is after spending an extended period on the Valve forums:
The majority of Valve fans are complete fucking idiots. They still laugh at 'The cake is a lie' and will actually think someone saying 'Spy sappin my X' is comedic fucking gold. Most of them are between the ages 13-25, almost all of the 18+'s being college students or graduates. The ones that play on PC are almost always complete cunts about it. They truly believe that as Valve fans they are superior to other people and can act however stupid as they want to.
Or
Before TF2, Valve wasn't really good at making protagonists. All of them are mute dicks, basically.
Then TF2 troddled in, shat out a bunch of playable characters with defined personalities (to a degree) and the fanbase went internally apeshit because they realized they could finally quote the game they were playing and not just state that they like it.
Or something.
Either way, I'm not impressed with Valve. At all. I think that half of their fanbase hangs on because Valve makes ridiculous shit like that MAC vs. PC video up there. In my mind, Valve jumped the shark as soon as they announced they'd be putting TF2 on the MAC, which was awhile ago. I mean, I have nothing against Apple, but why the fuck would they carry the game over to a whole other platform before fixing some of the numerous problems in the PC (and yeah, 360) versions. It blows my mind that people eat this shit up. It's gotten to the point where people who play it on the PC
prefer the comparatively unbalanced 360 version because at least you don't have to deal with the drop system, hats, upgraded weapons and tons of other bullshit.
