So far, Top Gun and Baha have been given their items, them being the only people I can actually get ahold of at this point in time.

Sure. Steam name?

If you missed out on getting halloween parts, I have a plethora of extras that I'm offering up on a first come first serve basis, unless I hate you, then I'll just reject you and move on to the next person. Try to be generous and not just claim all of them, leave some for others. They're free, but I won't say no if you feel you must give me something in return. Scout: B-ahnk! Soldier: Soldier Mask x2 (2009) Steel Pipes Pyro: Fallen Angel Demo: Scottish Snarl The Pickled Paws Heavy: Heavy Mask (2009) Soviet Stitchup Engineer: Engineer Mask x2 Sniper: Silver Bullets x2 Garlic Flank Steak

I sell my extras for 2 scrap each. It doesn't take THAT much metal. But I do agree it can be supremely annoying to find a server where there's one or two scouts who do nothing but hoover up gifts. Personally I grabbed my bio lab homework, parked on a server that was doing a rotation, and spent the entire day on there. I can now draw the life cycle of seedless vascular plants, and I have all 27 pieces.

Top Gun, what's your Steam name?

What masks from last year are you missing? I have spare Engineer, Soldier, and Heavy

I got my Strange Degreaser woo woo. Just need to find people with S30s and get cracking. I have a Non-Craftable Warrior's Spirit (Bought more than $20 worth of stuff from the store) that I'll give away to a good home if anyone still needs them. They're the bear claws for Heavy.

Unboxed some S31 crates, got all but Strange Degreaser & an extra set of fists. Anyone know if Frogg needs fists?

If anyone stumbles across a Series 30 crate and doesn't plan to open it, I'm looking for a few to jam these keys into. Strange Gunslinger woo woo. Also I spent an hour and a half on the loadout presets trying to get the perfect setups. Most of this was spent on hat/misc combos.

needs more sexy brushfire voice.

There were other mental issues I was dealing with, but the video games did contribute - and as mentioned in the video, generally, life sucks pretty hard for someone to dive into things like that. I spend what time and effort I can advocating that video games can be a tool for good if used right. Cases like mine are an exception, and don't happen just because of video games, there's always other things going on.

So I've been marathoning this over the past week or so - been meaning to ever since I caught Sephfire being interviewed on OCAD - and I hit the second part of the game addiction video. And it may have been said already in this thread, but that episode was...really, really powerful. I was shaking by the end, mostly from dredged up memories of the time I spent there, and the hell it caused. I've been down that road. It contributed to spending 6 months in a mental hospital - through December. I missed Christmas with my family, spending it instead 100 miles away in a room with bars on the windows and bolted locks on all the doors. It's...game compulsion is a horrible thing to go through, and it's something I consider the absolute lowest point of my life. I didn't stop for eating - or hygiene, at all. Just played and played and played. I am very glad James managed to pull out, and that most of his friends pulled out. I think it's a good thing to push the message out, that if you're in that hole, it's never too late to reach up and get pulled out. It's one of the hardest things to do, to reach up initially, but it's worth it.

I missed this. Whoops. Two were unboxes (One indirectly, I unboxed an unusual, traded up to what I wanted with little difficulty) and the third was a gift from a friend.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/92502/ Purchasing the digital edition of PCGamer for $2 will net you a genuine hat in TF2. US/UK only, but it can be gifted to others, as I've already tested with an Aussie friend.

Going by my transaction history, just under 100. I have 3 Unusuals.

"Don't open crates" they said "It's a scam" they said http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/542906688417426911/048314C87082F43CBD6405EF61D17469CC59B841/

http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2141666 Short version: Valve pushed an update out to the schema a bit early, revealed a butt-load of new things coming out eventually. And I /just/ managed to get all the pyro hats. Harumph.

I'd absolutely love to try the reserve shooter change if the Beta Item Server would ever come online.

So, they introduced Series 29 crates, with Strange Black Box, Strange Razorback,and Strange Axetinguishers into the game. As someone with no money to open crates due to family events, if anyone has any of those (Axetinguisher especially), I'd be eternally grateful if you would let me trade it off you

...well all right then. What're the odds that this halloween Valve will put new items in and have another event a la Headless Horseman?

Hey, Powerlord, could I get a private group invite? http://steamcommunity.com/id/FlandreTouhou/

It's easy to get that feeling after being thrown onto the side that gets rolled more than once. The trick is to realize that if it's irritating you, and scrambles aren't happening, take a break and come back in a few hours. As for classes itself, offline practice vs bots works surprisingly well in getting the kinks out. I've gotten myself pretty good at Sniper by just endless bot practice. Pick a class and see what you can do. Go Soldier and see if you can pop people into the air then nail them again. Go Pyro and practice poofing. Go Scout and practice being an ADHD son of a bitch will you stay fucking STILL FUCK you and your named scattergun. If you want to test your team's intelligence, go Medic. If they don't protect you, there's no hope for them. Teamswitch or go to another server.

There is a shitload of bugs. None of the demo's new items work on Medival Mode, infinite targing. I'm hoping (the lack of) Flarejumping is one of them.

GET TO IT. As a sidenote, these appear to be insanely common, or something's goofed, or the rarity comes from the weapon pulled. A friend popped a 20 and a 21, and got Strange Shottys back to back. Don't go dumping hats on someone for one until we can figure out what's going on with this thing's rarity.
