I'm gonna become a professional gamer cause I've got such mad skillz, homies!!!! My skillz be unmatch3d by n e of u foolz!!!!!!!!!

;) Nice mature response there. I never said you had to be a professional gamer to have skill at the game, you don't actually need to play it very much at all in fps games, a lot of it is just reaction time and hand eye coordination. Although I guess these can be trained. Just because you play competitively doesn't mean your trying to be a professional gamer, a lot of people just find it more fun because it requires you to use some intelligence rather than just mindlessly spam the crap out of each other on a 32 slot server :whistle: It is also fun just in the social aspect of being in a team.

Also playing competitively doesn't necessarily mean your good, you can just play matches in a group of friends for a bit of fun, so does that mean they are professional leet gamers who talk like idiots?

Last night I got a duplicate Axtinguisher. Tonight I got a duplicate Ambassador, and a Blautsager which I never had as I barely play Medic.

Last nite on the server I regular on, I got three (3) FAN's in a row... Three of the same damn thing... What the hell? I have 7 of those things now...

The only unlock I want now is the medic hat, then i don't care what i get.

Two people I know have got them and I've seen a few dotted around the servers I play on. So far seen the medic, heavy and demo. The heavy one is hilarious :rofl:
i saw medic, demo, engineer and scout with hats. interesting..

I've yet to see another player with the Spy hat. I feel unique! :D

I just noticed a discrepancy with the Huntsman. The Sniper character model holds the bow of the Huntsman with his left hand and the arrow with his right hand. However, the view model shows the complete opposite (hence why it's on the left side of the screen). Imagine how you'd hold a bow and arrow if you're right handed. You would hold the bow with your left hand, and the arrow with your right (see here). Has anyone ever noticed this until now? It's odd that Valve would make a mistake like that, unless of course they did it intentionally for a reason that is currently beyond my knowing. But I doubt that's the case. I think one of the modellers forgot to make it right handed by default. In any case, I hope Valve fixes it with the next update.

The Sniper is my number one class and it took me awhile to notice it. The Huntsman is a great medium to close-quarter weapon. It's great for moving in close to the enemy to get a few quick kills. Anyway, I hope it's fixed before I get too accustomed to it.

could we get some pics of the hats for people like me who aint seen them before?

I posted a couple of pictures of my Spy with the Fancy Fedora here. This link, however, shows all the hats.

The_Decryptor: That last screenshot is interesting, to say the least.

Relax, I wasn't aiming anything at you -- just teasing at the entire conversation. :)

I noticed it. I assumed it was to do with interference with the HUD.

That's what I thought at first. I went over to the Steam forums and it's a major bug. I'd be disappointed if Valve doesn't fix it.

:blink:

Not to sound rude, but that's just being so nit-picky it's not even funny. :laugh:

It's a bug with the view model, not a size or colour issue. I fail to see how not tolerating a bug counts as being "nit-picky". :|

    • It's interesting to hear that AI growth is not investor driven.
    • A few weeks ago, I had this same exact issue. Unfortunately, I didn't think of disabling the Secure Boot option in BIOS. I updated my BIOS to the latest version for my MB and it resolved the issue.
    • I have a partial answer, when I used a multi-port usb hub I had degraded speed performance with 3 large external hard drives connected. I managed to snag a nice (yet older) USB3 based wavelink docking station cheap / used that has x6 usb 3 ports and almost doubled the speed of the external hard drives transfer rate. This looks to be a slightly upgraded model -https://ebay.io/m/LZtjTy
    • Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft is facing a class action lawsuit from shareholders who allege that the company intentionally overhyped its artificial intelligence initiatives to distract from slowing cloud revenue and an exploding infrastructure bill. The complaint was filed in a Seattle federal court by the Michigan-based City of St. Clair Shores Police and Fire Retirement System. The plaintiffs argue that Microsoft’s leadership painted an overly optimistic picture of its Copilot rollout and complex OpenAI partnership. They say that the company did this while downplaying the harsh reality that building the data centers required to power these next-generation tools requires a huge amount of capital. Back at the company's Q2 2026 earnings report from late January, Microsoft revealed that its flagship Azure cloud growth had slipped to 39% (down from 40% the prior quarter) and guided investors to expect a further deceleration to 37% or 38% for the first three months of 2026. Now, under normal circumstances, a slight percentage point drop in cloud growth is a minor operational hiccup. But the Redmond giant paired that guidance with $37.5 billion in quarterly capital expenditures. This figure, which is a 66% year-over-year surge, blew past any analyst estimates at that time. Much of this amount went into buying high-priced GPUs and custom silicon that were required to train and run large language models. This is why the market reacted violently and just a day after its earnings call on January 29, the company's stock plummeted 10%, and wiped out $357 billion of capital in just a trading session. Microsoft is doing better now, though. Its Q3 2026 results showed its run rate from its AI business was hitting $37 billion, proving that enterprise demand for its infrastructure is very real and continuing to scale. Microsoft isn't the only company pouring billions into infrastructure for the AI boom. We've seen most Big Tech companies, including Amazon and Google, also get the results of these investments with stronger-than-ever growth and increased income. via Reuters
