I miss the funny trailers. Its not as if anyone playd left 4 dead as a serious game.

Also, Im giving in and buying the pack - Not that I think its a good idea to charge for items, but more because I want valve to give more money to valve for tf2. I dont think I have to, but I feel that if I can, I should.

That's silly. I'm wondering if all of the other stuff in the list is craftable. Buy only items are pretty stupid.

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 would love to play that, but I'm busy all of Saturday and some of Sunday. Perhaps Sunday evening GMT?

I am now never to say a bad thing about Sigs again.

Not only did she trade me for an Engie hat (I lurve Engie hats), she then GAVE me the stuff to craft a Sydney Sleeper.

Now all I need is the Ol' Snaggletooth and I'll be set for life.

So I bought the polycount pack last night.

Coincidentally, I now have buyer's remorse.

BUT YOU HAVE THE CROCO-STYLE.

All the stylishness of a Crocodile, and all the MANLINESS of an Australian!

Sydney Sleeper + Jarate + Bushwacka = Jarate Master

Also I have taken a vocational specialisation in Jarate, and will spend the next few days shooting Jarate at people and chopping Jarate-covered things in two.

I wish to trade my three reclaimed metals for a Master's Headband. PM me please.

8pm GMT, by the Server Entrance.

The refined metal will be in the box to the left of the door.

Put the headband in, take the metal and only the metal.

We will be watching Jibar. We will be watching very closely.

So I had four hats. Beanie, Vintage Vintage Merryweather, Yellow Belt and Bonnet.

Then I get a random hat drop. As my first drop since the update.

It's a Yellow Belt.

After the prerequisite WHAT GUYS, WHAT; it turns out Magnus has a brain slug and is willing to trade.

My luck amazes even me sometimes.

Nope. If I get any crates, I'm trading them away because I refuse to buy keys.

Imagine if happiness was a substance. We'll say that a piece of pure happiness the size of, say, a fist, is roughly equivalent to an orphan whose loving parents just came back to life.

With that hat, I could fill the grand canyon.

Especially since, according to that screenshot, it's possible to find standard items inside of them.

I wish you could trade/craft purchased items. Or at least bonus items. I have a spare new spy gun that I can't do anything with.
