Valve commends Team Fortress 2 'Guard Dog' concept creator

A
Team Fortress 2 forum poster named Pyranodon recently uploaded a magnificent piece of fan art for the cartoony shooter: A fake
TF2 Class Update detailing the abilities of
the game's new "Guard Dog." Though this canine is obviously
way too overpowered to be implemented (it's a spy-tracker
and a
Jarate dispenser!), it's a pretty convincing mock-up -- so convincing, in fact, that Valve's Saxton Hale recently
drafted a letter of commendation to the update's creator.
Well, perhaps "drafted" isn't the appropriate word to use there. Now that we think about it, neither is "commendation." We don't want to spoil it for you -- check out
the fake update, check out
the letter, and then join us as we happily remember why we love Valve
so very much.
