...I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Prometheus, actually. Archimedes is an actual historical figure.

Prometheus is the guy who gave humans the sun, and was punished by Zeus to have his liver eaten by birds every day for the rest of his life (as titans apparently could regrow their livers).



On topic... I unboxed a Strange Rocket Launcher and, combined with the Reserve Shooter and Disciplinary Action I picked up, it has made me want to try playing Soldier a whole lot more.

I went through a big rocket jumping phase last fall, and I gotta say it's really weird playing a soldier who spends the majority of his time NOT 50 feet in the air.

So Valve doesn't have anything for the engie?

Does he NEED anything?

-Also- Yeah, this is why I need to Google before trying to remember those Greeks. THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME TO ME!

This page made a joke of the fact that the Engie's not getting anything.

skimming over wikipedia, I couldn't find anything that had to do with archimides and medicine. Figured they'd go with some obscure but fitting referance, like Apollo or Leonardo

Archimedes also was Merlin's pet owl. (Thanks Watchmen!)
Perhaps that has something to do with it? I wouldn't know how exactly though.

Guess who got the Solemn Vow in a random drop?

Awwww yeah!

Hey, does anyone here have a spare Mad Milk to trade?

...For a Solemn Vow? I would.

edit: Okay yeah turns out I actually DO have a spare Mad Milk. What're ya sellin'?
