I has Team Fortress 2 Now.

ninjaclown

Well, it didn't. Pretty sure it's steam gifts only, but since your account didn't upgrade, me thinks something fishy is going on. Even so, five dollars really isn't that much money. I upgraded because I had a promise to keep.

Hats are purely cosmetic, right?

If so, you TF2 characters can take your Mann Co. Store advertising and shove it.

Stormtroper

Some hats form part of item sets, and some item sets grant bonuses.

ninjaclown

Hats are entirely optional, and what you get depends on what you are willing to do to get them. Some hats require several sets of refined metal.

glennmagusharvey

> several sets of refined metal

FUCK THAT SHIT

ninjaclown

I had a feeling you would say that.

Vorpy

I love hats. There are people using special rare weapons that gain kills -shrugs-

have no fucking idea how they get them.

Blueeyedrat

Well, if someone could figure out how the system works, it would be extremely appreciated. The amount of item space I have is quickly becoming an issue.

glennmagusharvey

1. Junk your crates and coolers.
2. Buy a 49-cent item from the Mann Co. Store.
3. Trade all your junk away to other people and try to get stuff you want in return.

glennmagusharvey

Alternative idea:
1. Buy a crate or cooler key if you have a crate or cooler.
2. Use key.
3. Trade all your junk away to other people and try to get stuff you want in return.

Vorpy

1. Junk your crates and coolers.



But there's special edition weapons in there!

glennmagusharvey

That's the only reason I'm considering spending $2.49 for a cooler key.

Apart from that, the heck with it.

Vorpy

Today is last day for summer coolers.

Hurry up if you want glowing hats and lightning explosions on your kills.

glennmagusharvey

...wait what

> glowing hats
> lightning explosions

Do they have other stat changes?

Vorpy

I die really easily when I see said people so probably. A heavy with a glowing hat slaughtered my entire team by himself on DM_Store.

ninjaclown

Anyone know who TiM is?

Vorpy

I am not sure, but he's fun to play with. He's really good with Demoman.

Speaking of Demoman, I was on a Capture/Defend game, where there were 5 Engineers with a whole wall of Sentry Guns and Dispensers. I was a Demoman, and I was flinging grenades into the air and watching people explode, and keeping spies away with my Eyelander. It was so awesome. Eventually we lost when the Engineers ran out and enemy Soldiers overcame us. Hell, they had 10 minutes to do so, so it wasn't like we were close to winning, but that was the most fun I had with a Demoman in like, forever. exploding Snipers, Engineers and Pyros with my GLauncher, and cutting off Spy heads with a sword that whispers "heads" constantly.

ninjaclown

Yeah, it's pretty freaky when everyone sees you with a hugely glowing eye.

Forzare

Does anyone with the ability to trade have a force-a-nature or a shortstop?

ninjaclown

Forzare, I'm looking for a force-a-nature and I HAVE a shortstop. This four barrel pistol is honestly not that great. Looking for reclaimed metal at the moment.

Vorpy

Force a nature knocks people off of cliffs and seperates medics from their heavies.

It also knocks pyros w/ flamers away.

Forzare

An extra Liberty Launcher just dropped for me.  Ninjaclown, you said you wanted that, right?

ninjaclown

Most defs man

Myrmidon

Haha, you think you can capture the point BLU team? Well you can't because we've got two dispensers and two teleporters and three turrets and a gazillion engineers on top of this tower and one spy that I don't know what he was doing there but he never sapped anything so I assume he wasn't an enemy spy in disguise and it's all cooped up on top of this tower.

HA. HA.

Vorpy

Is there any way to hide text in the game?

Forzare

I don't think so...

Vorpy

Hey I found another Crate

Forzare

I have like six crates.

Vorpy

Can I purchase them off of you?

(by the way, what the fuck do they mean by purchase?)

Forzare

Purchase?
