Top Gun Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) I kind of feel like I've been bailing on a few invites recently, but my rationale is that I know I'm going to have my ass parked in the game for who knows how many nights straight as soon as Halloween drops, so it's probably better to take a break now while I can. Also read this thingy, because it's actually pretty darn good for a fan comic. Edited October 20, 2013 by Top Gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Native Jovian Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 So, I used the "trade offer" thing from the official TF2 trading subforum to get the last card I needed to finally craft a TF2 badge. Like 30 seconds later, I got a booster pack with three more TF2 cards. My understanding is that they give out booster packs based on how many people are crafting badges for that particular game. So apparently, crafting a badge was enough to give myself a booster pack. Guess I'm just that awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I don't even have any game badges completed, beyond the Summer Sale one, and I only got that to the first level. I know there was a thread around these parts for card trading; maybe I should go revive that. And even if Valve wasn't planning on releasing whatever the new Halloween stuff is yet, I kind of wish they'd at least turned on the holiday mode already, so we could play around in the older maps. At this rate it'll be Halloween itself before we even get things going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Gun Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Delete them? Sell them? Close your eyes and pretend they don't exist? (for the love of God please) I'm glad we were able to get things hopping tonight. Many spells were cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyrai Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 delete them? Sell them? buy 50 of them and use them all at once on the server? (for the love of god please) understood chief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Jovian Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Looks like I'm gonna miss out on this year's event. Repeated server updates during prime time meant that I haven't been able to play (well, I mean, I guess I theoretically could've played on a non-OCR server.... but why?), and now I'm heading out for a two-week business trip about a week earlier than expected. Saddest face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Gun Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I haven't seen many people playing over the past week, and we only have a couple of days left before Helloween ends, so how's about a night or two of fun to send it off? (Also if you have any spare Transmogrifiers you don't want, send them my way, since I have a few extra items.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 I'm game for tonight - I was out the past two nights unfortunately . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 And...it's over, apparently! (I guess "through Nov. 11" translates to "through the early morning hours of Nov. 11.") I joined a bit later than I wanted to last night, but I'm glad we got one more night in. Big thanks to Necro for those extra transmogrifiers that took care of my remaining dupes. Here's something interesting: I was on Helltower a bit earlier before I knew that the event was over, and while the gifts obviously don't drop, and the Manns (sadly) don't say their lines anymore, you can still pick up and use spells...they just don't appear on your HUD. And the achievement for winning a round still increments, so I'd assume that the rest of them still work too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XeroZohar Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 First, let me open by saying BEHOLD THE ADORIBIBILENESS http://youtu.be/fAqGUUv-XJs Last, let me close by saying where all the playas at? Now that I've hopefully fixed/upgraded my gaming computer I've been hanging around nightly to see if any pick-up games start, but nothing really happened since the last night of the Event. I'd try to start them myself but I think half of you don't remember me and so you'd ignore the call D: I don't bring all the boys to the yard like Baha does.
