(Hey all. This is my first creepypasta. Please enjoy, and feel free to review. I could use as much feedback as possible! Thanks!)

Hey everyone. I know you don't know me, as I have never posted alot on the internet. My name is James. I am a gamer; or, at least, I was. It all started when I set my laptop up on my desk as usual. It was a nice, sunny friday, and the skies were as clear as ever. I whistled a little tune as I set up my laptop. I decided to play a game of Team Fortress 2 today. So, upon getting everything ready, I launched Steam. My friend suddenly messaged me. The conversation went like this;

FRIEND: "Hey"

ME: "Hey"

FRIEND: "TF2 updated"

ME: "o"

Friend: "The alien update thing is out now"

ME: "cool"

After sending my last message, I noticed that TF2 was, in fact, updating. The alien update I've been waiting for was FINALLY coming! But I wish I disabled automatic updates on Steam. I wish I never launched TF2. Everything went wrong when I launched that..thing. I can't even call it a game anymore.

So, TF2 launched up. I noticed that the main menu was different; VALVe never changed the menu of the game. Maybe it was a revamp that the menu finally needed. Anyway, the background was the usual TF2 style; a cartoony UFO hovering above the map 2fort. The buttons on the menu were square and black, with pure white icons and text. The logo looked all metallic..which was weird, since VALVe NEVER changed the logos for their games. EVER. VALVe does alot of new things at random times though, so I rolled with it. I clicked to open my loadout, and only noticed one class; the class that I play more than any other. Heavy. I clicked around the screen to see if the other classes were just glitched, but no; it really was only Heavy. I was hesitant to click him; but after a while, I worked up the courage to click. The audio glitched, playing all of The Heavy's voice files rapidly, one after another. There was no stop; when the voices finished, it just kept looping. After a while, everything stopped. The Heavy's menu finally opened. It looked normal..except for the Heavy himself. Both of his arms were replaced with what seemed to be The Purity Fist, even though I didn't have that item equipped. His head was following my cursor as I dragged it along the screen, watching it. I shakily clicked one of the cosmetic slots and changed his hat from 'The White Russian' to 'The Hound Dog'. I heard one of the Heavy's death screams as it changed. The White Russian layed on the ground next to the Heavy's foot. The Heavy's scalp was bleeding heavily; not 'hyperrealistic' as all Creepypastas say these days, but actually fit the style of the game. The Heavy looked terrified, and didn't stop screaming. A mechanical arm came down holding The Hound Dog, and put it on his head like a wig. The bottom of The Hound Dog quickly turned a tint of red from the blood. The glasses of the hat covered his terrified eyes. I knew this was just a game, but I really wanted to scream; I held it back, though; didn't want to wake anyone in the house. I now noticed that the Heavy's team  colors were grey..why were they grey? Why? I quickly exited the menu before anything could happen and joined a game. It was my favorite server; a 24/7 trade server. The server looked completely empty. I noticed a new door on the Team Select menu; it was grey. Was this the "team" my Heavy was on? The team initials, like RED and BLU, was 3 letters. But the letters chosen really got to me. "WHY". I had 3 choices; RED, BLU, and..WHY. I tried the RED and BLU doors; both seemed to be locked. I never seen anything like this before. The only door that seemed to work was 'WHY'. I was very hesitant to open the door, but I managed to and it said in the chat;

"[CLASSIFIED]  joined team WHY" (I am keeping my username CLASSIFIED so nobody can add me.)

The only class avaliable? Heavy. Of course..

I finally managed to get into the game. I noticed that another player joined the game as soon as I got into team WHY;

"BOT[[ALIEN joined team US"

Putting the pieces together rather quickly, I was able to find out what this meant. "WHY", "US" ? "Why us"? Were these aliens something other than bots? I decided to check the scoreboard, and found out that the alien really was a bot; it had the bot ping and everything. It was standing in the middle of the map. I walked up to it slowly, with my minigun out. It was a Soldier with black team colors. Standing still. Yep, a bot. The server admins were probably messing with me. But, suddenly the screen showed nothing but the fake infamous Alien Autopsy footage. I turned off my computer and went to tell my parents. But, when I went into their room..they were gone. Just..gone. The television in their room was on. It was playing the same Alien Autopsy footage. I am typing this from an apartment, where I now live by myself, living off of the money left behind by my parents and the money I got from selling most of their belongings. TF2 never launches anymore. It just turns to the Alien Autopsy. When I try to watch a YouTube video involving TF2, such as Jerma985's TF2 videos, it shows the Alien Autopsy. I can't even think about TF2 without that stupid fake autopsy popping in my mind.

Trust me when I say that the alien update might not really be what you want..
