UWE inside joke?

<div class="IPBDescription">FWLBT</div>I understand that fans with lights behind them are the new crates in NS2, but range2 has like 50 of them and they are completely unsubtle :P I'm talking about like a fan with nothing but a huge fluorescent light behind it. I'm not saying its bad, but there are so many that it seems like UWE put them there just to mess with us D:

    Well this is an engine test so it's no surprise to see maps designed specifically to show off cool lighting tricks.

    FWLBT is a long acronym, how about BLF, (backlit fan).

    Forget about the hamster, it is a turtle powering the fan!!!

    Every time someone makes a thread complaining about the release date, UWE places yet another FWALBI in one of their maps.
