[Steam] Thread XVI: The biggest in-joke in gaming

[Sammiches]

Is it wrong to want to collect all the Medic hats? No? Ok. Good.

I'll trade you my mirror. Wha'cha got?

[Aron Times]

Sorry for being late. I will log on to SHAFT now.

[mightymonarch]

I have Professional's Panama I could toss you. Or 3 crates.

Get the black paint and paint a face mask, Looks ninja as.

I want to acquire a second Tyrolean to paint. Purple. Or black. Both look absolutely BOSS.

[Izual6764]

My first drop that was a new item? Australium Gold. Buuuuut I don't have any hats I can paint with it. The game taunts me to buy something from the store.

why paint a hat? Paint your robo-claw. Be the man with the golden roboclaw.

[oxybe]

i dunno. a golden hound dog hat makes the heavy looks like a kevlar-clad Johnny Bravo armed with a minigun.

[dentrag2]

Erm, excuse me for my ignorance, but why is Chocolate Hammer perpetually empty?

[shadow_archmagi]

OH god, best prank:

1.Paint your minigun Red.
2. Make everyone think you have kritz all the time

I gots me a Tyrolean, but I have no interest whatsoever in the Panama or crates. Also, I rather like Double Vintage.

The Mann-conomy update broke ChHa. Potato is in the process of fixing it. It was playable last night, if you didn't mind not having kill notices (btw, no kill notices is fairly game-breaking.)

Kill notices were working this morning. I mean, initially they weren't but then they just reappeared like nothing had happened.
I guess it's a bit flickery right now.

A most unusual find!

I opened two Mann Co. Crates today, the other was an equalizer.

An Unusual Hat and an Equaliser eh?

I say your luck kind of balances out eh?

Ya know...

Equalises?

[Dread Cthulhu]

Not only is there nothing wrong with collecting all hats of a single class, I happen to be almost done with my goal.

For what its worth, Id trade it away pretty sharpish while they're still worth 4/5 hats. I got 4 for mine, including an attendant which nabbed me another 3. Of course, you may decided a cat in the hat hat isnt as cool as a bonk helm which is just foolish.

Since it wasn't posted in the L4D blog yet, and at least a couple of people haven't noticed, HERE is a link to the beginning of part four.

Wait, so, they made it to the islands? They survived.
Bill, you old sonuva. God bless ya man. You saved them.

So, does this mean the escape vehicle for the Sacrifice... will be the raised bridge?
No wait, I get it. Three people have to stand on the bridge, whoever is sacrificing themselves stays on the ground. So the achievement is for downing that person, which I assume forces another player to help them up and die with them or sacrifice themselves too.
This is gonna be amazing in Vs.

Eh I can't really be bothered searching out trades, if someone gives me a good offer for it I'll take it but otherwise I'll just wear it.

I thought it was pretty touching that Francis couldn't accept Bill was dead.

Edit: Oooh my left4dead/left4dead 2 is updating, exciting!

Im afraid Bill didnt redeem himself for me. I know almost all of you disagree with my assessment of his character, but to me he became a coward as soon as he left the doctor behind. He died a good death, but it wasnt enough to atone. Also, I now also dislike Zoey - Looking after her own meant abandonning Nick, Coach, Rochelle and Ellis (mostly because of Ellis) to lots of zombies when they had enough supplies and the like to take them with them to the new "safe" zone.

[Worira]

So best

Maximum great

I figure they'll stay on the bridge until it's up, then cut scene. Vs is going to be interesting. If it really is a wide open area, attacking the sacrifice may not work. You'll just get shot. Unless you hit that person really hard at once and incap 'em, maybe... The rest will be awesome, but I'm wondering about the finale.

Ditto.

EDIT:
I'll agree with you, Onasuma, about Zoey.

Woah, my Steam icon was halfway green when I glanced at it, which meant it's downloading something.
Left 4 Dead 2 is updating

Mother of Crap, it's going live, NOW. Does this mean we gotta start playing soon?

[Izual6764]

Guess I'm late. I feel stupid now.
And Steam isn't even downloading anything for me... It hates me

Yeah. We just noticed this in IRC. It's updating and will be available as soon as it downloads.

Well, since it's gonna be up soon, I'm cool to play with whoever's about, unless BlackFox shows up soon.
