    Valve has just fixed a graphical glitch for the Scout in TF2. The glitch is when the scout tries to double jump and crouch, the scout's legs go all rubbery. And it is now fixed. I actually never minded, it actually sort of made scouts more menacing, like wasps. However, something I do mind is crab spies, especially when half the server isn't actually playing the game just to stare and guffaw at this one spy who is practically afk. Granted, this doesn't happen regularly and I have no problem with crab spies or other shenanigans during setup, but at least to me, it has gone the way of the overused joke.

    They're explanation of why that glitch occurred was nothing short of brilliant.

    I'm pretty sure one of the new taunts is the crab spy. It doesn't do it every time but like 1/4 times when you taunt with the matchbook he'll crab spy.

    Removing Spy Crab doesn't fix anything. Stupid people are always going to be stupid, removing Spy Crab isn't going to stop them.

    i honestly don't think they'll ever remove the Spy Crab. Spy Crab is just part of the game, to be honest. I mean hell- they even decided to make that taunt out of it (that really shows how much Valve really does love their players). SPYCRAB 4EVER

    @intarcouch: yeah, i guess. When I posted this I didn't even know they made a spy-crab taunt =S. I guess I just don't taunt enough, haha.
