It’s amazing how different even a lowly rock can appear depending on the video game genre. Also I couldn’t resist, I added the TF2 one myself. :D

Half Life rock mocks Far Cry rock.
Doom rock needs a flashlight.
Far Cry rock is emo over Half Life rock's gloating.
Zelda rock doesn't need graphics. It has art style.
Jet Set rock is happy it is finally remembered.
Wolfenstein rock wishes anti-aliasing was invented.
Silent Hill rock is too good for your colors.
Quake rock has the best engine. Too bad it's graphics suck.
Shadow rock wishes it could have killed that stupid kid to start with. Now it's rubble.
Battlezone rock still can't understand the concept of more than 4 vectors.
NetHack rock is too hardcore for the other rocks.
Viewtiful Joe rock has art style AND special effects! Eat it Zelda rock.
Asteroids rock hates spaceships
Halo 2 rock is secretly gay for Half Life 2 rock, but won't admit it.
Katamari rock is too stoned on art style.
Duke Nukem rock is still waiting for a job in Duke Nukem Forever.
Jojo rock lieks color inversion
Gameboy rock is now portable!
Zork rock has been eaten by a grue.
Team Fortress rock can't hear you over how awesome it's hats are.

Next major update after the Engineer update: the Map Hats update.

Every map gets its own hats. RED base on 2fort gets a giant Brigade Helm and BLU base gets a giant Officer's Ushanka. Rocks, barrels, crates, the 2fort cow, and even the Well train will become gentlemenne of leisure. Hats are also placed on the ground as part of the scenery.

And of course the classes will get 2 new hats each. One of them being a bow for the Pyro.

The rock for Crysis isn't there because it would look exactly the same as the normal rock. People would get confused.

Who the fuck keeps voting people down? It's counter-productive. The more people who get voted down, the more I'm gonna vote up.

Those five rocks in Nethack would probably kill you... or all be loadstones, that kill you when you walk down the stairs carrying them.

Would you like your possessions identified [y/n]?
