I wish I were joking but this latest update to Team Fortress 2 literally adds in new items, hats, achievements, a replay mode, a contest to go along with the replay mode, and more. Oh God, there is much more.
There is literally too much to even begin to explain in a simple news post. The update page for The Replay Update contains links to Meet the Director, a ten page comic.
There is also a lengthy write-up on The Saxxy Awards, the first competition that offers fabulous gifts and prizes* (*not necessarily) and a chance at fame and fortune* (*probably not). You have two weeks to piece together your magnum opus.
You can also, in that time, earn new hats, new achievements, and show off your skills to all of your Steam and Youtube buddies! Seriously, we can't tell you all of the ins and outs, just go to the update page for the Replay Update!
