Some bug/crash fixes apparently, but you KNOW what memes will start spreading around the web now... #BadJokesConfirmed

For a game that's nearly 20 there's still an active modding community around it, not to mention the speed running community, it's still an amazingly versatile and playable game (now with slightly less crashes) so good on 'em for still TC of very old B.

It would be nice of Valve made games again - I've read online they have no organizational structure and for some devs at least it's a somewhat non-functional way of getting things done.
