[edit]On June 9, 2000 Team Fortress was officially updated and renamed to Team Fortress 1.5 in the Half Life 1.1 update.[1] It was the first standalone version of Team Fortress at the time.[2] The update added "new sounds and weapons, enhanced graphics, new models for classes and weapons, new maps from popular mapmakers, an updated user interface that makes finding and joining games easy and intuitive, and a new in-game Command Menu Interface".[3] It also included a new in-game interface and the networking code Valve's then upcoming Team Fortress 2.Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).
There were three new maps with the update: Dustbowl, Warpath, and Epicenter, Dustbowl being the first capture the flag map in the series.[4] Additionally, the new Command Menu Interface was an in-game menu that allowed players to execute commands to change teams, call for a medic and change classes while in a match.[3]

WikiNecromancer
[edit]
WikiNecromancers are known for finding dead pages and raising them back to life. They are often old and very wise, which prevents them from being intimidated by many other WikiFauna. They spend much of their time roaming around WikiProject Abandoned Articles looking for articles to bring back from the grave. WikiNecromancers also feel it is their duty to tend to sick or weak articles, nurturing them back to health. They value life so much that they refuses to die, or let articles die. They often believe in trying to improve articles, rather then deleting them.
WikiNecromancers are fairly quiet, preferring to keep to themselves, but can sometimes passionately argue over something they believe in, especially if provoked. They can sometimes seem almost selfish and narcissistic, but never in a destructive way, as they truly only want what's best for the land of Wikipedia.

SubwayCreatures
[edit]SubwayCreatures is an Instagram account and website run by Rick McGuire focused on documenting New York's "train-riding oddities".[1][2] When McGuire first moved to New York from New Jersey in 2010, he said he "saw the craziest stuff on the subway".[3][4] He then decided to begin documenting what he saw on a website, which he named SubwayCreatures.[2] After he created the website, he created an Instagram page, where he then started posting most of his content to.[2]
History
[edit]McGuire says he has always had an interest in people-watching. He moved to New York in 2010 and started the SubwayCreatures website not long after, where he started documenting the strange things he saw as a hobby. Once he created the SubwayCreatures Instagram account, however, it grew into a "social media phenomenon".[4] As the Instagram account got more popular it began to get more mainstream attention, including being reached out to by several different news outlets.[4] Over time SubwayCreatures has become less reliant on McGuire's personal content, and more reliant on user-submitted content.[4][2]
Content
[edit]SubwayCreatures is mainly focused on pictures and videos of odd riders found on subways.[2] The Instagram consists of pictures and videos both taken by McGuire himself and user-submitted,[4] while the website mainly focuses on longer video clips and comments.[3] McGuire has stated that he will remove footage of anyone he has captured if they so request. He has also said he will not exploit the homeless, elderly, or children for views.[4][2][3]
