Where'd this "1968" thing come from? --NinjaCoachZ 17:12, 5 July 2010 (CDT)
- Not to mention that you're thing that you said made no sense since the Spy could listen to Iron Maiden even while being in the 1980's. Of course, since I don't have a dictionary worth jackshit, I would have no idea what you were saying at the beginning, so I apologize. - Crazy Luigi 17:16, 5 July 2010 (CDT)
- Plus, the TF2 blog states that "It's the middle-ish part of a century a lot like the one we just had.", which refers to the mid-20th Century. Combined with the calendar on the wall, we can therefore determine that the year really is 1968.
- Also, an anachronism is when something from a more recent time period appears in media that takes place in a certain time period. For instance, a Nintendo 64 in a show that takes place in the year 1986. As the Nintendo 64 is from 1996, it is an anachronism. -Yoshit 19:14, 5 July 2010 (CDT)
- Oh... okay, thanks. However, I still don't see what this 1968 thing was all about. - Crazy Luigi 19:26, 5 July 2010 (CDT)
- Never mind about the second part. You have to highlight the bloody thing in order to get the picture's point! - Crazy Luigi 19:29, 5 July 2010 (CDT)
- It's the century "a lot" like they just had. Plus, knowing TF2's madcap humour, the calendar is probably just an old, vintage one belonging to a character. Unless it changes based on the player's time, but even so that calendar can, in-universe, possibly be a placeholder.
