I would like to point out that my Vintage Refined Metal makes me a good person.


EDIT: Ok, I still think this is the worst update ever, but I now have a Double Vintage Tyrolean. As this is, clearly, the best thing, I will reluctantly resume TF2ing.

Just figured out the rocket jumper. The -100% damage applies at all times, even when you're using one of your other weapons, so it's jsut for practising rocket jumps a little easier.

Wait..So with Your Eternal Reward and generally the whole set, you become always immediately apparent as what you are when spotted, but you make no sound and work best against large groups.

The Saharan Spy Set turns you into a ninja.

GENTLEMEN, BEHOLD:

Night Terror

A custom campaign for L4D2 that will astonish and amaze you! Play through the Haunted Mansion ride! It's like Disneyland, but with zombies! Fight through the mines of Moria! It's like the movie but with zombies!

I want to play a campaign of this with some people this weekend, if possible. I'm free most of Saturday and all of Sunday.

I liked this campaign back when it was in L4D (and Moria was broken). However, I am busy this weekend entertaining drolkcal. Blast!

They kinda fixed Moria (I think). I mean you have to hold the use button down on the book for like 15 seconds...but i have to admit, the Moria map is incredibly difficult, even on Normal. I mean you have one horde, then you get tier 2 weapons (finally), then you have another horde, and a little past that, there's way too much tank and wtf omg why is this so evil. But man, the haunted mansion was some awesome stuff.

When you have the chatbox open on whatever client you're on, type the following:

/server irc.sorcery.net
/join #ChocolateHammer chha

and you should be in.

On a completely unrelated, off topic note, some of you steam users may know that I sometimes pretend to be a writer. For those of you interested, I wrote a short story.

After examining things, I've decided the Milkman's Set is actually too good, and the set bonus too viable and useful. Try to convince me otherwise.


Retracted. Robin just explicitly stated in email that all item set hats WILL HAVE CRAFTING BLUEPRINTS.

Hmm, tried to make a Scout Token with two Bonk!s and a Sandman, but I got "no blueprint for those items" and lost them. I heard in the other thread that I'll get 'em back when I die, of course, so I can... just... do... that...

Why did I post again?

So, hate to break the flow of conversation, but the Trailer for Sacrifice is up:
L4D blog,
Sacrifice blog page and
Trailer on Youtube.
I'm quite sure this wasn't posted yet?
