CHRONOLOGICAL FACT MAN!
almost 15 years ago
TF2 takes place in 1968.
Bioshock also takes place in the 60's, but rapture fell in 1958, so there's a possible 10 year gap between this comic and the setting in TF2.

The psychosis doesn't really matter, as long as it can be channeled into hating one colour or the other.
As for the ADAM addiction, this is why every team needs a Medic with an Ubersaw.

I wouldn't have got it either. Till someone pointed it out, but even then I'd probably be asking what the significance of it was. So, its not really a mystery why some people didn't get it right off.

Well not everyone is a diehard gamer that tries to keep up with the latest news, or common knowledge in a game's audience. Myself, I'm learning a lot about TF and TF2 through you guys, but I don't play the game, and if it weren't for this webcomic, and you guys talking about this stuff...

Myself, once I read it I was trying to figure out what it meant when I read the comment section below. It clicked and it was all "LOL" (not actually saying that, but doing that) But if you were asking how anyone could still not have gotten it after reading both the comic and the comment...

[url=#user_comment_26142]@Esproc[/url] Most people don't really expect something this convuluted to show up in this particular comic, so either game fanatics, or people that read the comments below, are likely the first people to get it. All others take a moment to catch up.
