Australium. The answer to everything in the TF2 universe.

Read that part of the comic again. And then look how Conagher's technology improves during the course of his transformation into an Aussie. Look at the first weapon and last - dramatically different, and the latter is obviously more technologically advanced than the previous instalments of his work - when he became an "Aussie."

Note Radigan's chest hair is shaped like Texas.

A Texan Aussie? A hybrid of epic proportions!

[PyroZombie]

how do team fortess 2?

[Maxon]

Thank you, Iceland!

[Maxon]

Okay, Gunslinger kicks ass.  The little sentries aren't the strongest, but combined with other fire, it can really help out.  Also if you pack it up, it'll come out twice as fast.  Plus the hand just looks crazy awesome.  I'm like part Terminator lol

Frontier Justice kicks alot of ass too.  Using the mini-sentry, I had a good run and was able to get 15 crits to use.  Anyone know if there is a cap?

Still 2 achievements away from the other controller, but it looks pretty cool.
