[Steam] Thread XIII: The World's #1 Forum-Themed Hat Acquisition Simulator

[dromer]

Could someone give me an invite to the Left 4 Dead group? Also, why does the smoke come off the back of the guns?

Golden Wrench No. 32 was found on our Chocolate Hammer server this evening. I have a screen shot of the event, of which I will post soon enough.

[Scuzzball]

Just bought Civ III since I was bored and wanted to play an RTS other than WCIII or SC (not that I play either much). Not that any of your are interested, I'm sure. Also, don't ask me to play online, I suck at RTS games :P

Hey, I suck too! Want to play sometime? Assuming my copy can be found, and works.

[Player_Zero]

Decided to craft the hats I don't like much together and I got ones I already had three times in a row. Funny stuff.

CivIII is TBS, but I've got it to if you wanna play sometime.

IT WAS.

[Darth Mario]

Except it wasn't, actually. The wrenches have a global announce, and Wats mistook it for the actual drop. Confirmed by other people on ChHa.

Post the screenshot anyway.

Ah, I was under the impression it was RTS...I am somewhat less enthusiastic to play it now. Ah well.

I might play with other people after I've gotten used to it.

[DranWork]

Well I seriously doubt anyone in a Australian server will get a goldern wrench.. stupid biased Valve.

[Dread Cthulhu]

Well, I don't have a golden wrench. And I won't get one.

But I do know dtsund, AKA Mr. 33. So that's nice.

Does this strike anyone else as ironic, given the update's story?

[Volug]

put dispenser here, Poot, Cookies, booties, poot dis poot dis poot dis...

The more tabs, the funner it gets..

[Dispozition]

Honestly, I don't trust valve. However, it does seem possible since they are technically like random drops

I think we'll see about 70 EST time zone gets, maybe 10 UK ones, and the other 20, Aus, Russia, and the rest of Europe.

[Dread Cthulhu]

Grr. Was gonna save crafting my two spare hats for if trading hit, but now I dunno whether to RISK IT ALL

[blackfox]

I will have L4D1 in a very short amount of time. I need people to play with slaughter me late tomorrow or Wednesday. Who's in?

You thought it was an RTS? Who told you that?

As for actually playing the game: Be warned that the RNG is hateful.

I heard horns eventually.

I dunno, I just always thought it was RTS. I've only ever heard of it in name.

[Drascin]

I've not played TF2 for a few months... is it true, what I hear? Is the mythical Engineer Update actually happening?

In another news, I'm happy I bought Titan Quest in that sale - it's shaping up to be a much more fun Diablo clone than Torchlight. Just got the ability to choose a second Mastery, not sure what to pick to complement Huntering.

[Jibar]

And so begins the long, arduous week whereby I wake up every morning excited for the new Engineer page...

And then have to wait until the evening because you Yanks have to be so far behind the proper time.

[tarbrush]

Dammit!!! Sale ends just as I decide I want Europa Universalis.

Gentlemen

I am not that envious of Golden Wrench wielders. This only means that their Wrench kills on Spahs sapping their Sentries/Dispensers/Teleporters will be utterly humilated as they approach and get bashed to death.

I am however, worried about the update progress thingie... 100 GWs will be sent out, and an update every 25 GWs found. This means no one will be playing, and no one for me to kill whilst everybody is stuck in spawn, spamming crafting items. And I want those other Engie Update items. Now.

I can only hope the Australium Fever passes on quickly, so that the game will return to its disgustingly tragic, horribly pointless bickering once more.

In other news, I now have Crit-A-Cola. I am prepared to be horribly gibbed the moment I step into the server.

I has Baker Boy and I has a Tyrant's Helm. Should I craft them together y/n?

Welcome to every class update ever. I played pyro after the sniper/spy and WAR updates, engineer after the scout update, and I think it'll be demomemoman this time.

Yeeessss... I think I just realised.

Similarly, I also just realised: On maps with gold on them, (Goldrush is fairly obvious,) teams are fighting.

Gold has 79(?) electrons. Australium has 79(?!) electrons, and a kangaroo fight in the nucleus. AUSTRALIUM IS ALTERNATE UNIVERSE GOLD?!

This makes the statement in some posters found in TF2, "Gold is good for you." completely and utterly true. It is more than good for you, it is in your best interests to find and exploit it!

It will make you ultra-smart, ultra-strong and SUPER MANLY!

Edit: One major flaw with Frontier Justice. If the Sentry is destroyed before it is complete or makes a kill, it should not count. Break their sentries, then break their backs.

[Jibar]

I'll be Huntsman snipering until I get the unlocks via drop.
Hopefully there'll be a lot of Engies sitting by a lot of sentries.
And as the Sniper says...

7 more wrenches left as of this edit. Update soon, Stalker.

Abraham Lincoln is dead... John "Tower of Hats" Booth killed him.

We must kill every man wearing a Tower of Hats. FOR LINCOLN!

Several interesting sights on the update page:

• Team Fortress Classic lineup
• Teleporter schematics and theories on how to maintain moustaches in transit.
• Payload schematics
• News of American monkeynaut program (and its predicted miserable failure.)*
• Lincoln's rocking chair has a secret anti-assasination device.
• Engineer involved in monkeynaut program.

* Saxton Hale is Australian. The Direct Hit had nothing to do with the destruction of the capsule containing monkeynaut Poopy Joe. The Direct hit did not get a spectacular mini-crit on the explosively launched rocket. There was no sabotage here.

I'm in, for science.
