Team Fortress 2 - I have no context for this

Something that i love about TF2 is it's lore. As in, the game's lore equivalent of Shakespeare , Shakespearicles was the strongest writer who ever lived. He was the inventor of the two-story building, the stage play, America, and the Rocket Launcher. Despite his powerful grasp of language and the ability to bench press 700 British pounds, several inventions eluded his iron grip – most tragically among them, stairs.

For the next three hundred years, people who needed to reach a buildings second floor used the only method available, which was rocket jumping. This persisted until 1857, when the young bearded inventor named President Abraham Lincoln invented stairs.

So, uh, this happened, but on the bright side, we have context now.

Horaay!
