The 100 people that gets these wrenches will be hunted mercilessly.

I hate it when Valve include hidden bits and pieces into their updates, like this link here from the day 1 page
http://www.teamfortress.com/engineerupdate/radigan/
Just look to the left of the “Australia to Rest of World” newspaper clipping. Surely finding that is worth a golden wrench?
Wait, the Sniper doesn’t have a moustache… he’s a fake Australian!
Perhaps he was banished from Australia, and shaved his moustache in shame and contrition.
Next reveal is up!
Looks interesting, will have to see how it works to tell how useful it’ll be.

I can’t believe how much my skill at TF2 has degraded since I last played. I keep feeling that I’m shooting a few degrees off from where I’m aiming. Turns out all my L4d skills don’t translate back to TF2. Combine that with my poor luck with drops and I doubt I’ll be on the list of golden wrench users.
The site says that the drop rate has been increased “for this week only”, which I expect to mean between now and Thursday when the update is released. But in any case, hop on and get more hat-crafting materials!
Edit: My bad, the drop rate is the same but the weekly drop limit has been increased. So you won’t get items any faster but if you play long enough you’ll get more drops.
Looking at the background pictures, it appears that Lincoln faked his assassination. Combine that information with the engineer comic with the hidden third name listed for the life extender machine and I wonder if it means a Hunted mode where the target is Abraham Lincoln?
I could not come up with words to express my joy were there a new Hunted map. I doubt there will be, but it would be incredible to jarate a VIP.
Wonder if we will finally see the Pyro video, so far don’t any connection between him/her and the engineer
I’d love to see a new meet the team video. We still have the Pyro and Medic to go.
Meet the Pyro would be great if the pyro narrates the whole thing with her standard muffled voice and the action consists of her running around setting things on fire without any explanation or connection.
W+MOUSE1 in video form.
I think the Pyro reveal will be a “Pat”-like androgynous person so we’ll really never know what sex he/she is.
I’m seriously contemplating crafting my hoard of meaningless level 91 items in the hopes of getting another meaningless cosmetic makeover.

There’s only going to be 100 golden wrenches, you might as well try. You’ll get more crap. They seem to come out at a rate of about 1 an hour.
My bet on meet the pyro:
A Buddhist (female) meditating and talking eloquently about the duality of things while playing with a candle. Followed by many people getting burned.
Let me phrase it another way, then: you’re wrong.

Now, on an ordinary games forum, I’d just pass that off as speculation, but seeing as this is Quarter to Three, I’m going to have to ask… Matthew, is that based on any evidence? Are you… inside Valve?
