I think so often about the impact TF2’s “Meet The” series had on the development of how Hero Shooters market themselves, Overwatch built its empire on that, it feels correct for that it all came home to Valve.

i've been thinking about that lineage of narrative, jokey stuff (and the TF2 blogposts), how that continued through to Dota in weird and continuously insane ways (that few normal people saw) and how the early deadlock storytelling scaffolding feels like a very smart evolution
