Neat-o. I still need the bastard's gunslinger. I unlocked the shotgun and found the wrangler and Southern comfort...but no freaking gunslinger in sight yet. Too bad, I'd love to go combat engi - they're actually really decent with their normal shotty and virtually unlimited pistol ammo. So with a little extra HP...

yea, I still need it as well. *shrug* I may be going on hiatus for awhile again. I've been playing too much TF2. I get agitated too much.

There's a hat description writing contest on.

hehe. BTW, a bunch of people are calling bullshit on Deputy Secretary of Defense William J. Lynn III's little USB spy story.

TF2 Massive update!

New weapons packs for 5 classes, and trading for items both in items and real dollars/euros/quid.

On the whole I'm not too much of a fan of being able to buy items, but a) it's in actual real world monies which is already a plus and b) you can still get the items from playing the game anyway. So no biggie. And what's even cooler: Valve is giving the creators of items that have been implemented a cut of every sale that's made on the item. Pretty epic Valve stuff.

yea, I noticed that. I won't be buying anything... it's just not worth it to me. But I know someone who's already bought a bunch of shit. I won't mention any names. But her name starts with shin and ends with y.

Lol. It's a conunundrum wrapped in a riddle posing as a mystery!

I wonder what she bought.

I got a package that has the new items in it and..... a few of those gifts that you deploy in game and it gives a random person a random item. Those are such fun like a balloon pop.

Once Shiny stops being able to pay her part of the bills, I'll be taking her computer offline.

Played a bit and got the new pyro melee weapon as a drop. Haven't used it yet, doesn't look that awesome (hardly ever use melee weapons, or a combo of setting enemy on fire + axtinguisher).

I also had enough items to craft 3 new weapons (needs a reclaimed metal + a specific weapon, looked for it on tf2wiki). Got me the sniper's rifle, soldier's alternative buff banner and the spy's knife.
Knife suits my playing style since i don't disguise that often, rather sneak behind the enemy and stay hidden then surprise them. Banner seems nice if you're on defence. And i just love playing sniper, this rifle doesn't beat the bow and arrows though. Not sure how it's best used, for now i'm trying to stay close to the action and not zooming in too often to get the jarate effect and have teammates get the kills.

Let me know if you want something traded, don't think i have a lot of spare items left though.

Have to give a shout out of thanks to Ocram for the cute hat. He was kind enough to give me the engineers ball cap thingy. I love the hats and kinda my obsession at the moment. I seriously want the bunny ears and would love the halo. Others are awesome - like a friend of mine got the cat in the hat looking one which is super cute. But yay Ocram rocks!!!

No he doesn't, he's a fag.

I don't think he actually reads CK anyway, or maybe just lurks.

Was planning to play more TF2 this weekend but didn't get around to it. That awfully talkative server you guys were on was ok, I mean they talked a LOT but it was all friendly and the gameplay was good.

Yes the fith server has all talk on and they talk a ton. For the most part they are nice people though. But I have some of my friends who will not play on that server because they never shut up. However late at night they tend to be more game play focused. And they don't get too mad when you try a new class or something and suck.

It's not that hard to mute people either.
