    Pyromania Day 3 Introduces Psychadelic Goggles and Magical Pyro Unlocks

    So, you've watched Meet the Pyro, right? You better have because the third day of reveals will be full of spoilers if you haven't!

    If you have watched it then read on for some Pyroland inspired goodness!

    Pyrovision Goggles
    (All classes)
    Log in to Team Fortress 2 from now until next Thursday (July 5th) to unlock these goggles! These goggles are the only way you will be able to see the other fantasy items listed below. If you don't get them during this time frame, you can still earn them by dominating people who are wearing the goggles, except they won't be listed as "Vintage" quality.

    The Rainblower
    Your friends will squeal with delight when you cover them in sparkly rainbows. Comes with a custom taunt!

    The Lollichop
    Fill your buddies tummies with delicious candy with this oversized sugary treat. Comes with a custom taunt!

    The Burning Bongos
    When you were a kid, all you wanted was to play the bongos. But then you grew up and, like all of us, realized you're n ot as good at bongos as Matthew McConaughey. Well, guess what, pal: Nobody is, or ever will be. What, are you going to give up just because he's the best? That doesn't sound like the you we know.

    The Infernal Orchestrina
    Your BFFs (enemies) will turn their frowns upside down (confront their own mortality) as they dance a merry jig (run in terror from) to these cherry tunes (soul-destroying funeral dirges).

    Balloonicorn
    Oh my goodness! Is it Balloonicorn? The Mayor of Pyroland? Don't be ridiculous, we're talking about an inflatable unicorn. He's the Municipal Ombudsman. Between you and me, Balloonicorn's a joke down at City Hall. Gary Brottman, the inflatable Sewer Superintendent, is sleeping with Balloonicorn's wife. Anyway, when he's riding around on your shoulder doesn't mention ANY of this to him, because Balloonicorn is on a hair trigger and he's usually pretty drunk.


    As of this posting, the Pyromania update is now live! Good luck updating your clients because the servers are being HAMMERED! Sweet dreams!
