Team Fortress 2, released by Valve in 2007, gave each class hundreds of context voice lines, and the Soldier, voiced by Rick May, became one of its most quoted characters for his shouting, patriotic delivery. Players clipped his shorter lines for forums, machinima and early soundboards, and this apology survived because it is instantly recognisable out of context. It still circulates in gaming chats and edits as a shorthand apology from a character who rarely sounds sorry about anything.
