XeroZohar Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 I bought Chime because it seemed like it could be fun. Haven't played it yet because I forgot to yesterday. Too much TF2 fun. I've had AAAaAaAaaaaa for ages though. Need to get on that one.
Schwaltzvald Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Speaking of hats... Seen a plague doctor mask before on the polycount forums but I'm guessing it was just for shits and giggles.

Schwaltzvald Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 More on the subject of hats Never played Killing Floor and it reminded me of the survival/horde mode on a DOOM II custom WAD.

ParanoidDrone Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 TF2 decided to troll me again and gave me a Baseball Bill's Sports Shine. Which I promptly crafted with some of my other hats until I got one I'm vaguely interested in. (Physician's Procedure Mask) Although I'd have preferred Ze Goggles... I guess with so many hats now it's inevitable that I don't care about most of the ones I receive.

You can easily trade the mask for zee goggles if you want. It's in considerably higher demand. Especially now that zee goggles can be found in a crate.
Lumpy Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 You should just do what I do and not care in any way what items you get.
Mrs. Bark Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Although I'd have preferred Ze Goggles... Baha gave me Ze Goggles gratis the other night. <3
XeroZohar Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 I've only cared about three hats, really: The Ushanka, which I got as a random drop (woot). The Safe'n'sound, which I bartered for and love to death. And the Familiar Fez, which I recently crafted. Everything else is just decoration.
DarkeSword Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Folks, remember, this isn't a Steam Treasure Hunt thread, this is a TF2 thread. There's already a topic for the Treasure Hunt. Posts have been moved to the appropriate thread.
Lumpy Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 I wouldn't mind getting the fez since if I ever play spy I can see myself actually using that silent decloak thing. Other than that and my milkman, I really don't care about any hats.

Other than that and my milkman, I really don't care about any hats. THE FEZ MAKES SPY SO MUCH MORE FUN SQUEE~ Seriously, it's like a breath of fresh air. Then you realize that the extra flicker time makes you visible for longer than the attack interval on most weapons with the IW/C&D and with the DR you're Captain Obvious. (Oh, a Spy with a Fez just died without a disguise. I WONDER IF HE'S A DEAD RINGER, HMM?) The fun factor is still amazing once you get that first disguise though.

And yet it seems to work against a lot of people... even Frogg.
ParanoidDrone Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 And yet it seems to work against a lot of people... even Frogg. Probably because the decloak is all but completely inaudible.
Powerlord Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Probably because the decloak is all but completely inaudible. Yes, but my point is that he doesn't always look for you. Unfortunately, it also means you're using the pop-gun and not the Ambassador, and since Frogg tends to run away using the GRU when he has low health...

ParanoidDrone Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 Apparently TF2 has been updated with some new paint colors and a "Festive Winter Crate." Also, in case anyone happened to miss my rather vocal bitching tonight, I've been lagging to an insane degree lately. I thought it was just me, but Lumpy tells me that he's been experiencing the same thing. Either way, it's extremely annoying and has directly caused my death numerous times. (You try surviving when the game decides to lag and freeze you in front of a Pyro. Or hell, anyone.) Basically, is there something going on with the server? On an unrelated note, I may not be online much over Christmas break.

On an unrelated note, I may not be online much over Christmas break. I get spikes frequently, have for over a month now. Its not constant, which almost makes it more annoying.
ParanoidDrone Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 I get spikes frequently, have for over a month now. Its not constant, which almost makes it more annoying. Hmm...in my case, they started two weeks ago, after Thanksgiving. Apparently the university suffered a power surge over the holiday and someone's been DDOSing their servers in the aftermath for shits and giggles. At least that's what the rumors say. (The DDOS, not the surge. The surge is fact.)
Powerlord Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 I get spikes frequently, have for over a month now. Its not constant, which almost makes it more annoying. I've been getting this too, but it's not exclusive to our server... in fact, World of Warcraft also has random freezes and disconnects. I'm planning on bitching to my ISP sometime this weekend, since this exact problem has happened to me before, though.
Brushfire Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 I'm so glad that the only problem me and my ISP have is not seeing eye-to-eye on Downloading Japanese Sentai. That's Sentai. Not porn. They seem to have no problem with porn.
RussellChamp Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 Hooohrah! Who has two thumbs and just moved out of his mom's basement? THIS GUY! Now the plan is to at least find a part time job until I can find a nice "career" one. Related to this thread: Hopefully I'll now have a MUCH more stable connection and won't random disconnect anymore or have the ~600ms latency spikes because someone else in the house tried to read their email!
Powerlord Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 Two new changes: 1. Apparently RED's map timer has been broken since the Halloween event. This has been fixed. 2. Custom maps (and event maps) will no longer appear on the vote list unless explicitly nominated. This is to prevent the rare case where ALL the maps on the list are customs. This will happen on BLU as soon as it leaves cp_pacman_wtf_plus. Also, Arena maps are back on the nominate list.
