TF2 Spy Crab Calendar Out Now
Posted by Owen Good at 5:00 AM on October 5, 2008
Hey, 2009's almost upon us, and TF2Newbs has put out a 12-month zipfile of spies doing the crab walk in Team Fortress 2. My favourite is August, which captures this conversation between Nfreak (the calendar's creator) and his cohorts:
{OSS} |CiC| Andy <3 amvalvo: Nfreak, turn around
Bob Dole's Woodlen Critters >:3: We're trying to do a spycrab calendar
Bob Dole's Woodlen Critters >:3: SS
{OSS} |CiC| Andy <3 amvalvo: Bob, keep walking back and forth
TF2Newbs promises to donate $1 to the National Spy Crab Fund for every download.
(/rushes to establish National Spy Crab Fund).

This has absolutely made my day! I love the crab spy, and it makes me laugh every time someone does it.

Ah everyone loves Spy Crabs :D.
Pezdispenser, you dont need to look up and down just up.
It's hilarious.
I love May. That definitely is an inside joke. Blu Medic ubering a Red Spy who's using a Blu Dispenser to stop the train.

I saw this on a 32 man pub I play earlier this week.
The dude was just walking around and I thought it looked pretty weird so I put my crosshair over him and checked his name and just pissed myself laughing, "Rare Endangered Spy Crab"

I had a medic uber me the other day when I had the disguise kit out and started crab walking around in front of the other team. It actually helped us out because the other team was either too busy going "WTF" or laughing to stop us from rushing the point. haha

The Spy-crab is endangered only because jerks like those scouts kill them for points. Now, if spys had something that let them walk on walls, Spyder-man wouldn't be rare and endangered.

Yeah tf2 is full of animation glitches, this is my personal favorite besides the engineer taunting with his workbox.

@Pezdispenser: It's free. Unless you were trying to say that you wanted to donate money to them for coming up with such an awesome idea(a calendar). Either way I'm sure I misread your comment somehow since it's the weekend and I'm drunk. Well I better log back into steam and play some more TF2 as the couple of hours I spent on there this morning hasn't quite scratched the itch yet...

Despite not being 'in the know' on this, the calendar is still pretty funny.
Nevertheless, for posting an inside joke of which I am not 'in the know', you shall be punished.
I suggest you shoot their weak spot for massive damage.

There is also a "sliding glitch", people jump from obstacles, do some taunt and start magically sliding on the ground without actually moving their bodies...

The idea for this was full of win (spy crabs need more love), but I see these icons on random days of the month and assume these are birthdays of that particular group/clan that made this. I don't really want that on my calender. I was totally gonna get this professionally made, too!

@Yougotyourpbinmyjelly: I heard once they latch on you have to kill them before they let go.

Spy sappin' my sense of humor.
I never thought spy crab was funny. Maybe I'm not up on w/e scene does but to me it's just an animation glitch. I've seen some pretty funny stuff happen in TF2, this is just meh.
